“Holy Maiden! It’s been so long! Are you feeling alright? Is it okay for you to come out now?”

“Are you hurt or uncomfortable anywhere? You’re not cold, are you?”

“Is there anything you’d like to eat? I’ll go get it for you right away!”

Idella, Monica, and Jeremy stuck close together and fired off questions in rapid succession.

With their tremendous energy, husband Rute was pushed back.

“I’m completely recovered now, the High Priest just checked my condition, and I just finished eating so I’m fine.”

“Thank goodness… Monica told us about you often, but we were still worried.”

“If there’s anything you’d like to eat, please let us know anytime.”

Unlike Monica, who had continued serving her as Ordel’s dedicated maid, Idella and Jeremy were seeing Ordel’s face for the first time in exactly 3 weeks.

From just before giving birth until after, Rute had absolutely forbidden anyone except a very small number of people from coming near Ordel.

Though they had no complaints since it was natural for Ordel’s health, their longing had been about to explode.

They were so happy to finally be able to meet her.

“Yes, yes. Did anything happen while I was away?”

Ordel ruffled Idella and Jeremy’s hair with both hands.

The children—though they could no longer be called children at their age, they were still children to Ordel—smiled blissfully like cats being petted and began pouring out everything that had happened during that time.

Ordel listened attentively to every single story without missing any.

Though Rute was completely pushed aside, since his wife was so happy, he didn’t bother to interfere and disrupt the Three Musketeers’ time.

Most importantly, he now knew that when he should yield Ordel, he should yield, so he could properly enjoy their time alone together later.

Rute silently stayed by Ordel’s side until the Three Musketeers reluctantly left.

They say patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Finally, when everyone had left and he had Ordel all to himself, Rute spent sweet time with his wife in the garden.

Just holding hands and leaning against each other while chatting away made them incredibly happy.

And being together with their one and only son was also happiness that couldn’t be exchanged for anything.

“Our son, are you awake?”

After finishing their short walk, they headed to the baby’s room just in time for Iliya’s feeding.

Iliya, who was awake, licked his lips and moved his arms and legs vigorously.

It meant he was getting hungry.

Ordel, who had given the wet nurse free time, sat on the sofa and skillfully gave him the bottle.

Iliya, who had inherited both parents’ excellent appetite, drank the milk vigorously.

“Are you okay? Isn’t he too heavy?”

Rute, who had been watching the scene contentedly from the side, asked worriedly.

Ordel burst into laughter.

“It’s not right after giving birth, and now that I’m perfectly recovered, I can easily hold my son.”

In fact, even when Iliya became a full-grown adult, Ordel would still be able to lift him easily.

“Still, just in case…”

“Do I need to lift you up again for you to believe me?”

At Ordel’s words, Rute closed his mouth.

After they decided to have a child, there was a day when Rute had worn sexy clothes to seduce Ordel.

Ordel, completely fallen for the seduction, had lifted Rute in a princess carry and thrown him onto the bed.

Rute also remembered the intimate time they had spent together that day.

It was such a passionate and heated night that he thought Iliya might have been conceived that very day.

“Are you seducing me right now? If you’re up for it, so am I.”

As he recalled that night when the bedroom had heated up more than ever before, Rute’s cheeks naturally turned red.

At the sight of her shy husband’s smile, which she hadn’t seen in a long time, Ordel had to barely hold back her laughter from bursting out.

If she made a loud noise, her son drinking milk might get startled.

“Let’s restrain ourselves when our son can hear us. Like Grace, Iliya will probably develop quickly too, so we need to be careful from now on.”

With the sudden mention of his one and only younger sister’s name, the strange atmosphere instantly scattered into the air.

Rute made a displeased expression.

“That’s more powerful than any sedative.”

It wasn’t just because his sister’s name came up in this atmosphere.

Grace Sieri.

The precious heir who would lead the great Sieri Duchy in the future had such a tremendous temper that even Rute would click his tongue.

He was already scared of what she would become when she grew up.

“Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen Grace. She likes me so much, what should I do since we haven’t met for months now.”

As expected, the Sieri blood ran true—Grace had also particularly liked Ordel since birth.

As a baby, she was simply drawn to the pure energy Ordel possessed, but as she grew up, she became obsessed with Ordel herself.

So whenever she missed Ordel, she would cry hysterically for days, troubling the couple Trisha and Mikhail.

That’s why they used to meet every few months, sometimes even once a month.

But from the 7th month of pregnancy, everyone prevented them from meeting no matter how much Grace cried and threw tantrums.

It was everyone’s consideration for Ordel, whose belly had become too heavy, making movement difficult.

As a result, it had already been 4 months since she last met Grace.

“That child needs to learn some patience. How can the heir who will lead such a great family be so stubborn.”

Rute clicked his tongue.

However, he thought it wasn’t really something Rute, who was called the greatest in Sieri history for his temper, should say.

Honestly, Grace still couldn’t even come close to Rute’s level.

“Anyway, Grace is banned from entering Daesinjeon until Iliya is at least 6 months old. I can’t compromise on this.”

Sieri babies rarely get sick, and especially Iliya, who has divine power strong enough to become the next Holy Sage, would be even less likely to get sick.

But still, there’s always the possibility of ‘what if.’

‘Most importantly, the problem is I don’t know how Grace will react when she sees Iliya.’

Whether she would be jealous of Iliya occupying Ordel’s arms, or whether she would find her nephew of similar age adorable.

It would be better if she had no interest, but Grace’s personality was too different from Rute’s, so even he couldn’t predict what reaction his sister would show.

‘Anyway, who did she take after to have such a terrible temper.’

Rute, the eldest son of a family famous for generations for their fierce temperaments, clicked his tongue harshly.

He just earnestly hoped today as well that Iliya would take after Ordel.

“Did you finish it all already?”

While chatting pleasantly with Rute, Iliya had emptied the entire bottle.

“Is it normal for a baby who’s only 2 weeks old to drink this much milk…”

Ordel looked back and forth between the completely empty bottle and her son, who was smacking his lips as if it had been delicious.

According to veteran wet nurse Linda, who had already raised several other children, it was normal to drink this much at this weight.

Of course, based on 2 weeks after birth, he was eating quite a lot, but compared to his body weight, it was just right.

“Our son might reach 2 meters tall at this rate.”

Please just grow up with long legs.

Ordel patted her son’s back and slowly walked around the room.

Rute looked at the identical mother and son with a foolishly blissful expression.

Once upon a time, Rute’s smile had been a symbol of terror that made all nobles afraid.

After marrying Ordel and having a son, it had just become a foolish smile.

Thanks to this, even the young servants of Daesinjeon who had been very afraid of Rute were getting along quite well with him these days.

“Burp.”

A cute sound came from Iliya’s mouth, showing he had digested the milk well.

At the adorable sound that was always charming to hear, Ordel burst into laughter.
