Chapter 1842 Duty Calls
It"s been 15 days since the birth of their little baby b.u.mps. And while Landon loved them with all his heart, a part of him also wished they could grow up fast so he could take them outside "in training," and beat them till they forget their names or where they were from. Landon was aggrieved when seeing how little time Lucy now had for him. "You don"t love me anymore." Lucy felt amused when looking at the grown man pouting pitifully beside her. "How can you get jealous of your own children?" "Hmph!" Landon scoffed. "The little troublemaker"s haven"t left your side since they were born. So clingy."
15 days, and these little devil"s always cry when Lucy isn"t around. Landon had no evidence, but felt they did it on purpose. So clingy! They wanted their mother 24/7 by their side. It was as if they could tell when she was exiting a room. Do you think that even when Lucy wants to use the bathroom, she must keep the doors open or else they will sense her absence and start crying? Again, Landon knew they inherited a fraction of his powers and wisdom, hence why they were already showing signs of great intelligence and strength. Again, Landon knew they inherited a fraction of his powers and wisdom, hence why they were already showing signs of great intelligence and strength. It"s only been 15 days, but they are already learning how to turn around from their backs to their bellies. At this rate, it will only be a matter of time before they learn the famous Camelot crawl and then transverse to normal crawling maneuvers. Following that, they will learn how to walk and how to run too. Although the children were twins, they looked different even as babies. G.o.dric looked more like Lucy, while Wilfred looked more like him. At 15 days old, the children already showed different personality traits. G.o.dric was quiet, never crying unless Lucy was gone, or if he needed food or a diaper change. And at night, when Lucy reads storybooks to them, he is the most attentive. Already, you can tell he will be a child who relies on his brains more than his brood. Don"t get it wrong, G.o.dric"s strength was by far superior to any babies in this world, since he inherited Landon and Lucy"s super genes. It was just that his younger brother, Wilfred, was obviously stronger than him. But as for whether Wilfred was more intelligent than G.o.dric, Landon highly doubted it. Just look at that troublemaker"s face? For these past 15 days, G.o.dric has been the one protecting and soothing his brother"s worries while they rested in the giant crib. Wilfred would sometimes wiggle himself in excitement so hard that he would accidentally hit his head against the crib"s bars several times in a row when he first learnt how to wiggle and lie on his tummy. After that day, G.o.dric was the one who grabbed his clothes, stopping the idiot from repairing the same mistakes again.
When they slept, G.o.dric took on the position of defender. And even when eating, G.o.dric would allow Wilfred to drink more milk from Lucy"s bosoms. However, Wilfred, although mischievous and reckless, will stop himself, wanting Wilfred to drink more. It was amazing to see the bond between the 2. During these 15 days, he and Lucy had received all sorts of gifts from family, friends and well-wishers. During the 3 day holiday period, overseer Tim and many others popped in to visit, wanting to see the royal children and to congratulate the couple. The Reverends, priests, and many others from the church also stopped by and prayed for the children to live good, worry-free lives. During that 3-day holiday period, there was never a time they weren"t entertaining guests. Landon was truly moved by their visitation. It meant a lot to him when receiving their earnest congratulatory gifts and words. Kissing Lucy and the children on their foreheads, Landon sighed, knowing there was much work to be done in his territory. .
"Hey! There he is~... The newest father of twins. How did the little stars sleep!" Tacholla"s loud voice bellowed across the open palace grounds. "Too well, if you ask me," Landon retorted, feeling they were getting even more out of hand day by day. "Those little brats sure are annoying, but what can I do?" Tacholla, Amrous, and several others were amused by Landon"s jealousy. Landon quickly took out his upper outer vest, revealing a short and a petticoat underneath. He then rolled the s.h.i.+rt"s sleeves before slowly walking their way and joining them in training. Bam!!
Tacholla exchanged blows with Landon while they were in deep conversation. And everyone else gathered around in smiles, laughing and jesting from their conversational teases. It was amazing how close Landon was to them now. When they spoke to him, they didn"t see him as a young man, but as someone similar in age to them. Landon"s strength, wisdom and actions made it hard for anyone to imagine he would be this young. Even those who heard his legends, might have first thought he was a 40 or 50 year old sage. The men spared for a bit before taking a break, with both sitting on the ground close to the rest. "Good spar! Good spar! I feel 20 years younger already!" Tacholla"s body vibrated with excitement when recalling the spar. Every man who wields a sword or fights, lives a good spar that helps them access their weaknesses. Wasn"t that why they were sparring in the frost place? "So," Landon raised his head to stare at the Mirvs. "Is your list ready?" "Yes," Tacholla nodded calmly. "We"ll deliver it to your secretary, Brian, before the end of the day." The atmosphere was light but somewhat nostalgic. Several people had already sighed like old men without even knowing it. How they wished Baymard and Mirvanna were close to each other. That way, they can pop in and out as they like. It would be a lie to say they didn"t have fun here. In fact, they had learned a few things during their stay, and wanted to quickly rush back and implement them in Mirvanna. Yes~... That"s right, they had long signed the treaty with Baymard and already had all sort of perks granted to them, including access to the UN library, as well as several upper floors of the General library"s doors. From Agriculture to Astronomy and so many other topics… allied nations were given a whole lot more info compared to people from non-allies empires. So with everything they knew, they couldn"t wait to rush backs and do experimental testing in Mirvanna. Everyone knew that although they would miss Baymard like crazy, it was their duty to return home and make the lives of their people better! (*^*)
