“Very healthy. No different from before pregnancy.”
Trisha patted her belly and grinned.
“The divine artifact you sent had an excellent effect. Thanks to it, I barely felt any labor pains.”
“That’s truly a relief.”
I let out a sigh of relief.
According to Airic, in the past, pregnant women often sought out Priests of the Sun God during childbirth to reduce pain.
Divine artifacts are precious and can only be given to trustworthy people, but dispatching priests is different.
I need to quickly increase the number of temples and send more priests so that as many women as possible can be helped to reduce the pain of childbirth.
“But why are you still lying in bed?”
It’s been well over a month since she gave birth, and she even has a healing divine artifact, so she should be fine to run around by now, right?
“Why do you think?”
Trisha snorted and looked to the side.
I turned my head to follow her gaze and immediately understood.
Mikhail was sitting on a chair beside the bed, tears welling up in his eyes.
“Thanks to the divine artifact, I gave birth more easily than when I had Rute, the baby is healthy, and I’m healthy too, but he’s still staring at me like that. Really.”
“Of course I’m worried! You need to rest more.”
Mikhail pulled the blanket up to her chest, as if worried that Trisha might catch a chill.
Trisha looked annoyed to death, but knowing Mikhail would cry if she refused, she eventually sighed and endured it.
“Come to think of it, have you seen the baby?”
“No. I came to see you first as soon as I arrived.”
“Really? The nanny should be bringing the baby soon, so you’ll be able to see her.”
Oh my, the baby is coming?
I quickly spread divine power throughout my body and the entire room for a thorough purification.
I must meet the baby with a clean, germ-free body!
Knock knock.
“Your Grace, I’ve brought the baby.”
“Come in.”
The door opened and Karen entered, holding a baby in her arms.
I wondered who had become the baby’s nanny, and it turns out Karen Boreo was chosen.
Well, Karen is very meticulous and thorough, so she would indeed take good care of a baby.
“Have you arrived, Great Holy Maiden?”
Karen, seeing me, slightly bent her knee in greeting.
“It’s been a while, Karen. Congratulations on becoming a nanny. I’m sure you’ll do very well.”
The nanny of the future Grand Duke.
That alone meant Karen’s position had essentially skyrocketed.
“Thank you.”
Karen smiled brightly and carefully handed the baby she was holding to Trisha.
“Ordel, come here and take a look.”
At Trisha’s gesture, I slowly approached and carefully leaned my head forward so as not to startle the baby.
I saw a beautiful baby wrapped in a pure white swaddling cloth.
“My goodness. She’s only been born for a month, but how are her features already so distinct? She already resembles both her mother and father.”
The child with the House of Sieri’s characteristic black hair and gray eyes was truly bright and adorable.
I glanced at Rute, who still had an indifferent expression despite his sibling’s arrival.
I’m a bit curious if Rute was this cute when he was a baby too.
I should secretly ask Trisha if there are any pictures.
“What’s the baby’s name?”
“…Rute didn’t even tell you his sibling’s name?”
Trisha’s eyes, which had been lovingly gazing at the child, immediately turned fierce.
Rute really did wrong.
“Grace. Grace Sieri.”
So it was a daughter.
If I mention that he didn’t tell me the gender either, Rute would probably get beaten, so I should stay quiet.
“Hello, Grace. I’m so happy to meet you.”
I gently touched Grace’s cheek with my thoroughly purified hand.
The soft, tender baby skin made my heart flutter.
Hmm, but something seems a bit strange.
“Trisha. Grace was born a month ago, right?”
“That’s right.”
“But why is she so big…?”
Even if I don’t know much about babies, especially newborns who haven’t been born long ago.
I can definitely tell that this child is too big to be only a month old.
“Well, she was big from birth. She was 4.8 kilograms.”
“…Excuse me?”
No, that’s… isn’t that a super healthy baby among healthy babies?
No, even for a healthy baby, weighing as much as 4.8kg is something I’ve never heard of before.
Is that even possible?
“The Sieri have always had big babies for generations. That brat Rute was similar too.”
Trisha gestured toward Rute with her chin.
Good heavens. I let out a hollow laugh.
“It’s natural that Mikhail is worried about you.”
Having given birth to such a big baby, it’s understandable he’d be anxious.
I’m really glad I lent you the divine artifact. It could have been a disaster without it.
“Ah.”
Just then, Grace flailed her arms and legs.
When I turned my head, she was staring at me intently with her gray eyes and smiling brightly.
Ah, she’s really so beautiful.
When she grows up, she’ll become as lovely a young lady as Jin.
“Oh, Grace seems to like you. She doesn’t smile easily.”
“Really? That’s a relief.”
“Try holding her once.”
Trisha handed Grace to me.
I didn’t refuse and carefully took her in my arms. Karen adjusted my posture several times.
“You hold a baby better than I expected?”
Trisha looked surprised.
Even with Karen’s help, she could tell that my posture wasn’t completely that of a beginner.
That makes sense since there were babies at the orphanage where I lived in my previous life too.
The teachers couldn’t take care of them all, so I used to hold them in my arms and give them bottles.
Though this is my first time holding a newborn who’s only a month old.
“I guess I have a talent for it.”
I replied cheekily while looking at Grace.
As if she really liked being held by me, Grace giggled and waved her arms and legs.
Her movements were already so lively that she was truly general material.
“Trisha, Mikhail. May I bestow a blessing upon this child?”
“If you’re willing to bless her personally, we’d be grateful.”
“To receive a blessing from the Great Holy Maiden. Grace will grow up healthy and well.”
Fortunately, Trisha and Mikhail didn’t refuse.
I held Grace securely with one arm and gently placed my other hand on her belly.
The substantial weight I felt in my arms was truly unlike a newborn, making me laugh again.
To bring laughter to everyone from the moment of birth.
Grace, you’ll surely grow up to be just as lively and fortunate a child.
“In the name of Holy Maiden Ordel of the Sun God, I wish for Grace Sieri’s future to be filled with happiness. May your life be filled with peace.”
The divine power and sacred force I possessed merged together and brightly enveloped Grace.
Grace’s eyes widened as if she could see the golden light bubbling up around us.
【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ blesses ‘Grace Sieri’.】
【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ blesses ‘Grace Sieri’.】
【’Raging Sea’ blesses ‘Grace Sieri’.】
【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ says that ‘Grace Sieri’ is no different from a child who symbolizes how this world has completely changed from the previous life. They smile warmly, hoping this child will always be happy.】
As the Sun God said, Grace could never have been born in the previous life.
Because of Rute’s health, Trisha and Mikhail never even thought of having a second child.
Most importantly, the two of them were eventually killed by ‘Evil’.
This child’s birth was truly one of the greatest miracles.
“The Three Sovereign Gods have also blessed the child. Grace will grow up very healthy without any problems.”
“…Yes, that’s the most joyful blessing.”
Trisha closed her eyes briefly and then opened them.
Her gray eyes were slightly moist.
This was Trisha, who had to watch her son suffer from unknown pain for so long.
So Grace’s health would be more precious to her than anything else.
“Thank you, Miss Ordel. Thank you so very much.”
Mikhail was already crying profusely.
“Uuung.”
Grace, who was in my arms, waved her arms and legs widely again.
She seemed to like the blessing light that surrounded her, as she was busy turning her head this way and that.
At that cute and lovely sight, I kissed the baby’s forehead.
Now there is no ‘Evil’, and there is no one who would dare to trouble Sieri, so this child will grow up healthy and well.

“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand that your little sister was this pretty?”
After leaving Trisha’s bedroom, I walked hand in hand with Rute.
“Not only didn’t you tell me her name, but you didn’t even tell me her gender. Honestly, that was a bit too much.”
Even if I didn’t ask, you should have told me such important facts on your own.
“Hmm, you’re right. If I had known you would like Grace this much, I would have told you.”
“You didn’t know I would like her?”
“Well, other people’s children usually aren’t that cute.”
“…”
I was momentarily speechless at his matter-of-fact statement.
It certainly wouldn’t make sense for Rute to find other people’s children cute when they’re not even family.
After all, Rute has no interest in anyone except his family and me—he’s even cold toward others.
Understanding this, I nodded my head.
