#.106
When I opened my eyes in the morning, the babies felt even more adorable.
To the extent that I couldn’t stop kissing their cheeks.
“No, no! Lili go away.”
Though Filippo pushed me away, gentle Yosiyas was different.
“Play with me. Play with me!”
“Yosiyas! Auntie likes Yosiyas the most!”
His soft black hair and green eyes that looked just like Leopold’s were all wonderful.
When I hugged Yosiyas tightly and rubbed my face against his, Filippo puffed his cheeks and clung to me.
“What about me? Me too! I like you too!”
When Filippo poked me repeatedly to get my attention, I pretended not to notice.
“Youngest aunt. I like you too!”
He kept kissing my cheek, and I couldn’t stand it anymore. I quickly turned my head and hugged Filippo too.
“Of course I like Filippo too!”
“Do you like me more?”
“I like both of you equally! I like Filippo and Yosiyas the most in the world!”
Filippo smiled contentedly at my exclamation.
Really, it’s amazing that a baby who’s only 2 years old can smile like that.
It seems like Liliana gave birth to geniuses.
“Now then, young masters. If you want Lady Lilliana to keep liking you, you need to wash your faces and eat your meals deliciously today too.”
“Don’t want to go!”
“No! Want to stay with Lili!”
As the nannies took away the babies who didn’t want to leave, Liliana, who had been able to sleep in for the past few days thanks to me, appeared looking disheveled.
“Isn’t the youngest eating?”
“Mm-hmm. I should eat. But where’s Leopold?”
“He came in at dawn and went straight to work. He’s been very busy lately handling important matters with sister.”
“Hmm. Our brother-in-law is going to collapse at this rate.”
“I know. The problem needs to be resolved quickly. Oh right. Youngest, didn’t Emilia say she was coming to see you today?”
“Huh. Liliana is?”
I had been staying at Liliana’s house for a week now because I felt uncomfortable seeing Marius.
Since I frequently traveled between the Imperial Palace and the Waldrafen Estate, I had plenty of clothes and pajamas here, so there was no need to return to the Imperial Palace.
“I need to wash up quickly!”
I hurriedly washed and went to the dining hall.
The babies had finished their meal and were eating yogurt and fruit that came out as snacks.
“Oh no.”
This was bad. There were carrots on the menu.
Liliana, who had taken her seat, smiled brightly and said.
“Now that the youngest is an aunt, you can eat things like carrots without any problem, right?”
“Of, of, of course! I’m not scared of carrots at all!”
Aunts absolutely don’t have picky eating habits. Especially not in front of babies!
Hup!
I took a deep breath and stabbed the carrot with my fork.
I squeezed my eyes shut and shoved the carrot into my mouth.
I wanted to spit it out because I hated the mushy feeling from being boiled.
“Wow! Kids, look at auntie! Auntie is brave and knows how to eat carrots!”
When Liliana clapped her hands, the babies looked at me and applauded.
I struggled not to breathe through my nose and roughly chewed and swallowed it.
“Wow. Our youngest is amazing. What a wonderful aunt!”
“Of course! I can eat carrots now. I’m the bravest aunt in the world!”
I puffed out my chest and quickly gulped down water to get rid of the carrot smell.
Liliana laughed “Hehe” and patted my head.
“It would be nice to have a daughter like Lilliana too.”
“We don’t need one. I love our babies the most, and I’m scared that if a new baby is born, I might like that baby more.”
“Mm-hmm. Don’t worry. Leopold said there will absolutely be no third child.”
Well, I understand Leopold’s feelings.
I counted the days on my fingers every day until the babies were born.
I wanted to see my nephews, but also because pregnant Liliana looked so exhausted.
With her thin body and only her belly swollen like a mountain, even breathing seemed difficult right before giving birth.
‘And every day Leopold massaged her arms and legs because her circulation was poor.’
Her morning sickness was so severe that she couldn’t eat any of the healthy food that Leopold and my sisters brought.
For ten months, she only moistened her lips with lemons from Trobancha, so Francois used stamina enhancement potions three times a week, and Liliana used divine power.
“Becoming a mother seems too difficult.”
“Sister is happy to meet the babies.”
“Still, I hated seeing Liliana in pain. I was really scared at first.”
I was afraid she might end up like mother, who left after giving birth to me.
Edgar had the same thoughts, so we prayed to the stars every night before bed for Liliana and the babies to be healthy.
Edith, who had screamed in surprise when she first heard the pregnancy news, bit her nails every day as the due date approached, her face pale with worry.
“Mother worked in the Maritime Guard her whole life, so her whole body was muscular. But Regina was so skinny from not eating properly!”
“Edith. Your sister-in-law will be fine. Francois and the high priest are on standby. At this rate, you’ll collapse first.”
Marius patted Edith’s back and tucked her disheveled hair behind her ear.
The way he looked at her so tenderly made me think the universe was contained in Edith’s eyes.
Marius didn’t stop there.
“Our little scaredy-cats. Come here. Your brother will tell you a secret that only emperors know today.”
“It’s something only emperors know, but is it okay for us to know?”
“Huh, a secret? What is it, what?”
Marius sat us on his lap and said.
“Actually, there’s a room in the Imperial Palace basement that only emperors can enter. There, a sage who became a ghost writes the future on stone tablets?”
“A, a ghost? That’s kind of scary…”
“Brother. There’s no such thing as ghosts.”
“There really is. Edgar just doesn’t know because he hasn’t seen it. Anyway, I went to see that stone tablet yesterday.”
“And?”
When I shook his sleeve telling him to hurry up, Marius smiled brightly without any mischief.
“Well, it said our sister-in-law will give birth to her children very healthily!”
“Really? Really, our sister will be okay?”
“Yes. After giving birth, she’ll eat well and exercise well too.”
“Phew. Then that’s a relief!”
Normally I would have been suspicious of Marius, but after living together for almost 2 years, I could quickly tell when he was lying.
Marius didn’t joke around when he had his adult-like expression.
I patted my chest in relief, and Edgar quietly let out a sigh of relief.
“When will our babies grow up to be this tall?”
“Edgar. Am I a little bigger now? I’m not in the very front row of class anymore. I’m about third from the front.”
“You’ve become a medium chestnut.”
Though it ended with him teasing me, we waited for the due date with peace of mind.
We read fairy tales to the babies in the womb and jumped in surprise at their movements.
But adults were more suspicious and couldn’t be as calm as us.
“This isn’t enough. If emergency situation number 74 occurs…”
Liliana prepared all sorts of equipment and magical items, saying she was preparing for emergencies.
So the third floor of the Waldrafen Estate was scattered with emergency supplies all the way to the corridor outside the storage room.
Francois went to the library every day to research spells related to childbirth.
And Leopold….
“It won’t happen, but if something goes wrong with Regina… I’ll leave all my wealth and title to Edgar. And the new Knight Captain will be from the Marquis Alfred family—”
Leopold got smacked on the back of the head by Marius for talking nonsense.
Violence is bad, but even that couldn’t bring Leopold to his senses.
In fact, about a week before the birth, Leopold was already a walking corpse.
He suffered from insomnia, saying he couldn’t sleep at night from worry, and lost a lot of weight by only drinking water, claiming he couldn’t eat meals when his wife couldn’t eat anything due to severe morning sickness.
“Leo. Really, what’s wrong with you? The doctor said she’s much healthier than other mothers thanks to the stamina enhancement potions and divine power!”
Liliana was so fed up that she got angry.
Leopold was even more nervous than Liliana, so as the due date approached, he took leave and waited at the manor.
Then labor began.
Edgar and I only saw the babies a month after they were born, so we only heard about it from what Liliana told us, but apparently it was quite something.
“That giant of a man trembled like a leaf for a whole day straight. Didn’t sleep or eat.”
And right after the birth, without even asking about the babies’ genders, he rushed to Liliana.
After having a private conversation with swollen eyes from crying so much, he looked at the babies and wailed again.
Right after telling us that story, Francois, who was nearby, added:
“Emilia. You were no different. You were wailing next to me, asking what we’d do if he collapsed from all that.”
That day, Francois got his ribs twisted by Liliana and groaned with his forehead against the table.
Edgar and I giggled at the sight, and Edith scolded Liliana, taking Francois’s side since he had made the stamina enhancement potions.
Thanks to that, Marius, who had been steadfastly tormenting Francois alone, got sulky.
That was the end of Liliana’s birth episode.
“It was hard waiting for the babies to be born, but Filippo and Yosiyas seem worth it. I love them so much.”
Looking at the babies who are shorter than me and have smaller hands, they’re so cute it brings tears to my eyes.
“What? Are you talking about the babies? Still, I like you best, my youngest.”
Liliana was standing at the dining hall entrance, having arrived at some point.
Next to Liliana was Francois, who lately has been sticking to her like a needle and thread.
The moment I saw his face, intense hostility surged up.
