Chapter 39
Chapter 39 Eldest son and eldest daughter
During childbirth, men are not allowed to be present . The operation is to be done by a female .
And as such, I was praying for the good news to come quick while performing my government duties . In a sense, it was just perfect as I had these duties . I can refrain from being too anxious by doing it .
To tell the truth, I was more worried about the mother’s health than the safe birth of the child .
It was during night time . Serafina’s attendant came rushing into my office .
“The operation is complete! It is a boy!”
“I see! The mother-is the mother alright?”
“Yes… Miss seems to be tired but it is normal after a childbirth . She is able to embrace the baby by herself too . ”
“Then, it’s all good!”
I stood up from the desk .
“Umm… Miss is also a bit tired now so, could you perhaps wait just a bit longer…? There’s also a possibility a sudden change in the baby’s health right after birth so…”
“Mmm… I see… I get it . Take care of them . ”
Seems like I got a bit too excited, making the attendant flinch . She probably thought a man unfamiliar with babies might accidentally drop them or something .
“It is also true that
my work has piled up . I will go check later . I would like to know when Serafina is ready . ”
And then, I met with Serafina later .
She was lying down on the bed but it is true that she seems tired .
“I, did my best . ”
“Yeah, we don’t have to worry about a successor anymore . ”
I gripped Serafina’s hand .
“I still don’t know if he will become a worthy successor or not, though . ”
Serafina being a realist again .
“Because you will become more and more remarkable . I still don’t know if this child can be a man that great . Who knows, Raviarsan’s child might be more wise . ”
“I thought the mother would normally want their child to be the heir, you know?”
“I want to be the hero’s wife first . I don’t want a mistake in selecting a heir which leads to the country sinking . ”
“I am very blessed to have an intelligent wife like you . ”
I also embraced the child but–
“It’s kinda hard to understand if it’s a girl or boy, huh?”
“That’s just how it is . ”
She said laughing .
The territory was in celebration mode for a while .
Many different people came to congratulate and so it was difficult as always to deal with them .
But more importantly, as for
for me, I still had something weighing on my mind .
Two months after Serafina, now Raviara’s child was about to be born . It isn’t that weird since I did hear about the child being in the mother’s womb for longer for half-elves . And so it seems to be right in terms of schedule but–
“It seems it is going to be a breech delivery so she seems to be having a bit trouble…”
The attendant came saying that so I couldn’t keep still .
“Is Raviara alright? Is she?”
“We will try our best to save her at least, if not both…”
Hearing that, I went to a shrine near the Maust castle town to pray, which is very unlike me .
Please, let it all go well, free from accident .
After all, men can’t do anything other than praying at times like this .
–You also have a pious side to you, huh?
You stay quiet, job .
–There were also a few times when I went to pray as well . But, in the end, G.o.ds are nothing but a subject to cling on to . Men need to do what they need to do by themselves . But even still, I guess it is true that there is nothing else to do, other than to pray for the mother and the child’s good health . Pray to your
to your heart’s content . I shall pray as well .
To think I would be cheered up by a job .
Who knows what kind of a reaction the priest will give if I tell him this?
The priest beside me was Elnata, who had granted me the job ‘Oda n.o.bunaga’ . With my success, I had him come all the way to Maust . Although from his perspective, it would be G.o.d who gave me this job but I would like to be superst.i.tious in these matters .
While I was praying in front of the idol, someone came and stood beside me .
I had thought it was quite disrespectful of them, to come stand beside a Count but I soon realized I had misunderstood .
“Serafina, I didn’t hear anything about you coming…”
“Yes of course, I didn’t say anything after all . But the job I got from G.o.d is Saint, you know? Don’t you think it is only appropriate for me to come here?”
Saying that, she kneeled and started praying earnestly .
Old ancient letters kept a.s.sembling towards the G.o.d . The just goes to show how refined and highly educated Serafina was in her profession .
I was touched once again by her purity .
Serafina is a prideful person but she has continued working hard to well suit that .
Before long, Serafina’s words had endedwords had ended . At the end, she bowed to the idol .
“I want to become a G.o.ddess–A G.o.ddess protecting you . ”
“Really, I am glad you are my wife . So much that I would have hugged you right away if this wasn’t a shrine . ”
Seems like the Saint’s prayer had properly reached G.o.d .
When I returned to the Maust castle, I was informed of Raviara’s childbirth by the attendant .
“A girl has been born!”
“Is, is Raviara alright?”
To me, who has lost both his parents at a young age, Raviara was like the only blood relative .
The attendant said with a broad smile .
“Yes, Raviarsama has endured very well . ”
I was relieved from the bottom of my heart .
“I have probably not worried as much even during the battles . ”
I announced my intention to lower the taxes next year . I had also wanted to hold on to the people of Naguuri prefecture and it was the perfect timing for that .
Later when I met Raviara, we hugged each other in tears .
“Thank you for giving birth to my child . ”
“I am also truly happy to have given birth to Alsrod-sama’s child…”
And then, around the time I became the father of two kids, there were also a big change in politics .
Ha.s.se from the royal family was found .
