848 – Meaning is what you give it – 5

Humility, who went on his first dispatch to Erich’s habitat, learned humility as his name suggests.

“This can’t be happening. This can’t be happening. How can a newborn baby be so active…!”

A humble person who trembles all over and expresses fear and resentment. I don’t know what happened, but it seems like he had a little too much spicy food.

I’m a little curious. How did that confident guy end up like that? Did he get crushed by Robert several times, and did Eduard bite him with his mouth?

No. It’s not easy to get a newborn baby to bite a chick. On the contrary, there’s a high chance that Robert will bite it and Eduard will crush it.

‘I guess you had fun.’

A happy smile came to my face without me knowing it.

Robert, who was full of curiosity when he could move on his own, and Eduard, who was bored when he just lay still in the cradle. It was a situation where the brothers could not help but be bored in another sense. In such a situation, the talking chick raised its head stiffly and walked around. What a delightful toy it was.

In addition, the saints, including the humble ones, are very sturdy. They can survive being crushed by children, or even accidentally dropped from the third or fourth floor.

A cute toy that talks, doesn’t break, has great reactions, and is so amazing. If even I, an adult, would be amazed by this, how amazing would it be for children? Erich made a great decision and a great request.

‘Big guys will be fine too.’

And the fact that our nephews played humbly and fiercely means that they have no aversion to animals. We will send the little ones sequentially as planned, but when we send them all, let’s send the big ones too. There is no need to delay for a long time.

My heart is pounding. I wonder how my nephews will react when they see the sturdy bear, the fluffy sheep, and the majestic horse.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Perhaps because of his heart that was naturally warming up, he gently patted the humility that was still vibrating.

I can’t forget how he treated his younger sister like a plague or a disaster, but let’s let it go since he got justice from his nephews. If a family takes revenge on a family’s grudge, there’s no ending more perfect than that.

“Was it really that hard? Even if it was hard, it was only because you had two kids.”

While patting myself on the back for being humble, I subtly brought up the question that had been buried deep in my heart.

The discipline of humility has been established, so it is definitely a positive result. However, no matter how much I think about it, the process is not convincing. These guys who consider playing with Teresa like a vacation compared to staying at our mansion are doing this to just two people? Was Eduard more extraordinary than I imagined?

“The owner… The owner doesn’t know… No, I didn’t know either, so there’s no way the owner would know…”

In response to my question, Humility continued speaking in a voice that had become even more bitter than before.

“Robert was somewhat okay. When he saw me, he would touch me here and there and try to put it in his mouth, but that was something that happened to him on a regular basis, so it was okay.”

‘Oh, like that.’

I almost let out a heartfelt sigh, but held it back. I guess there’s no need to sympathize since the person involved said it was okay.

“But Eduard, his younger brother, was different. He had the same potential as Teresa… A being that is only born once every 50 years was born again!”

Soon the vibration of humility grew stronger.

As if he didn’t want to imagine it anymore. As if he couldn’t possibly accept his future.

“I can’t accept it! This can’t be happening! How did I, how did we defeat Teresa! And now that she’s grown up, a new Teresa has appeared!”

‘Are you crazy?’

I’m seriously starting to worry about the spirit of humility. If I keep doing this, won’t I end up foaming at the mouth and collapsing?

At the same time, there was great concern about Erich’s future. When Teresa was at her peak, she literally turned the Teilglehen Counts upside down. She was a child born with the liveliness of a beagle, but she cried out of stress from not being able to move on her own. As a result, not only her mother and nanny, but also the servants were on the verge of fainting.

In order to prevent that disaster, I and the knights of the Crassius family willingly sacrificed their backs. Even my father. It was only after making such efforts that Teresa was able to overcome her prime.

However, the humility of seeing Teresa often, and perhaps the humility of having played with Teresa more often than I have, saw a ‘second Teresa’ in Eduard. It may be hard to believe that it is to that extent, but experts testify so.

‘What should I do?’

Before I knew it, a cold sweat was running down my spine. It took all the vassals serving the Imperial Count to calm Teresa down. Is it possible to mobilize that many people for Erich?

“Are you sure?”

“It’s true! My experience, my vision says so! That monster in the cradle has tremendous potential!”

“Is this crazy?”

I felt a little embarrassed at the remark that treated someone else’s nephew like a monster.

I tried to let some of his comments slide because he seemed crazy, but this monster has crossed the line, you punk.

“Even if I strangle her, the truth… will not change…!”

It was a statement that, if heard by anyone, would make them think of an independence activist or a journalist being tortured. It was so crazy that I couldn’t help but sigh.

Rather than my neck, I grabbed my torso. Don’t say things that others will misunderstand, you yellow.

I’ll make it completely red.

In accordance with the contract to send different saints every day, in addition to the delicious humility, several saints were dispatched.

“Master… Master’s… family… has some kind of special blood flowing through it…?”

“How could two such beings be born at the same time, in the same family?”

“I can guarantee you that right now, he’s just figuring it out. In a few weeks, there’ll be chaos.”

And all the saints who returned from the mission all gave the same testimony.

At this point, I’m scared too. If I leave this alone, Erich might run away or die suddenly. If Eduard wakes up, will he have to go back to crawling on my back…?

But I guess it’s a relief that Eduard resembles Erich, not Sarah. The problem is that they don’t just resemble each other, they resemble each other three times more.

“Count. Why do you look like that?”

The emperor sitting across from him tilted his head and asked, wondering if this deep sorrow had come up on his face as well.

“It’s nothing, Your Majesty. I was just worried about some personal matter.”

“Is that so? I don’t know what’s going on, but don’t keep it to yourself. If you need any help with the luggage, just let me know.”

“I am truly sorry to hear this.”

It was a concern that would be of no use to anyone other than the Emperor, but I expressed my gratitude out of courtesy. He was probably just saying it out of courtesy.

“But Count. I know it’s embarrassing to say this when I’m having personal concerns, but may I discuss state affairs for a moment?”

At those words, the hand holding the teacup trembled.

This kid. He wasn’t just saying it out of courtesy. He was saying it to relieve his conscience. He was saying that he would help you, so you should help me.

“Please speak. Although I am on leave and cannot be of any help to Your Majesty, I can certainly help you shoulder Your Majesty’s worries.”

I started to evade, trying to control my emotions as much as possible.

I am a noble on leave. I am an unemployed person who has also stepped down from my position as a minister. When the Emperor speaks of his concerns, I can listen with my ears, but I have no intention of physically carrying them out. I made that point clearly.

“Hmm. It’s comforting to hear. In fact, you said it was a matter of the country, but you could also say it’s the Count’s personal matter.”

“yes?”

“That’s the point.”

The emperor, who had been silent for a moment, continued speaking cautiously.

“Count. Are you planning to attend Prince Luteus’ wedding?”

“I guess that’s what it should be like. When I was the club advisor, I attended all the weddings of the club members I had a connection with. If I were to miss Prince Ryutis’ wedding, the relationship between our two countries, which is unusually warm, would become awkward.”

“Indeed. The Count is truly a loyal subject of the Empire. To think so much about the affairs of the country.”

The emperor nodded as if satisfied and leaned his upper body forward.

“If you go to Armenia, please cut down the sky at Geommyo.”

He blurted out words that made people doubt their ears.

“…Your Majesty. Are you thinking of going to war with the Armenians?”

This is a statement that is completely incomprehensible. It is a strange order to cut the sky in another country, but why cut it in Geommyo? You must be aware of the meaning of Geommyo in Armenia.

The Sword Tomb is the pride, honor, and symbol of Armenians. The countless swords stuck there symbolize the history of Armenians. If we exaggerate a bit, it would not be an exaggeration to call it the Armenian parliament, national cemetery, and cathedral. That is the Sword Tomb.

“Is Jim crazy? I am the kind of person who would like to see no war during my reign, if possible.”

Fortunately, the emperor shook his head firmly to my question.

It’s even more questionable. Why would you do something like that if you don’t want war?

“It was Armen’s request to split the sky in Geommyo.”

“yes?”

“He said he wanted to show the spirits of his great ancestors who sleep in the sword tomb the power of the greatest sword on the continent. He wanted to show them the ultimate realm that a warrior holding a sword can reach, a realm that the warriors of the past could not even dare to dream of. That was the request of the King of Armen.”

I ended up touching my forehead at the kind explanation.

These sword-crazy guys. Are you awakening your ancestors from their restful sleep because of your instinct to be obsessed with swords?

‘Maybe you’ll like it?’

If you think about it, he is the ancestor of those crazy things. Rather, his instinct to be crazy about swords is stronger, and it doesn’t seem to be any less.

Perhaps you will be happy to see the sky splitting open in the afterlife. If the afterlife is heaven, you will be able to see it from a closer perspective, and you may even shed tears of emotion.

“You asked me to do that as a condition for concluding the treaty to hand over the relics. I couldn’t bring myself to refuse.”

The price for handing over the scepter for free is the sky beating. I think that’s very Armenian…

…

?

“Your Majesty, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“I’m sorry. I wanted to avoid that kind of price if possible, but Armen was so stubborn.”

An emperor who rarely apologizes right away.

Yes, I understand. If the Scepter is in Armenian hands, there’s no guarantee what will happen, so collecting it would have been a priority.

“Haven’t you seen His Majesty several times since the Scepter was discovered?”

But the question is why the details of the treaty were not told earlier, and why they are being told now.

“That’s the point.”

The emperor raised the corners of his mouth in embarrassment at my questioning.

“Actually, I was going to tell you once the treaty was completely confirmed, but the jewel was discovered that day. I was so out of it that I couldn’t tell you.”

I simply closed my eyes in sorrow at the words, “I forgot.”

Forget what you can’t forget. How can you forget cutting the sky in a foreign country’s holy land?
