Seeing the contrasting reactions of the family members, Ordel asked Rute with a sense of disbelief.

“You still haven’t told Grace?”

“Well, somehow…”

Though there was no explanation, it was obvious he hadn’t told her because he was scared of his sister’s reaction.

“Meet her directly, Grace. You’ll be quite surprised.”

Both Trisha and Mikhail looked visibly nervous, but Ordel herself seemed completely unconcerned as she led the family toward Iliya’s room.

Rute opened the door in place of Ordel, who was holding Grace.

The first thing that greeted them was the warm scent of milk.

Grace, who had unconsciously wrinkled her nose, widened her eyes when she saw Rute holding someone.

“…Huh?”

However, the moment Grace’s eyes met with the incredibly well-behaved baby in her brother’s arms, she unconsciously gaped.

Soft pink hair covering the forehead, chubby cheeks and cute lips, brilliantly sparkling golden eyes.

Even though still a baby, the attractive features clearly reminded her of someone.

Grace, who had been staring intently at the baby, turned her head in a daze.

Ordel, whom she loved as much as her parents, was smiling.

With the exact same face as the baby.

“Huh? Huh…?!”

Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of her continuously looking back and forth between the baby and Ordel.

“Say hello, Grace. This is Iliya Sieri, my son and your nephew.”

However, Grace seemed too shocked to say anything and just kept staring at Iliya.

Despite there being many strangers around, gentle Iliya showed no signs of fear.

He simply stared with clear eyes at his grandmother, grandfather, and aunt whom he was meeting for the first time.

“My goodness. Black hair and gray eyes are the symbol of Siery!”

Trisha exclaimed in amazement.

Except for being larger than average for his age, there really wasn’t even the slightest resemblance to Rute, which was incredibly surprising.

This was truly beyond imagination.

“As expected, Ordel, you’re the strongest.”

“I’m truly proud of you, Miss Ordel.”

Trisha and Mikhail praised Ordel with beaming faces.

How fortunate that he resembled his lovely daughter-in-law rather than their disgusting son.

“He doesn’t even cry, so his personality must take after Ordel too!”

“That’s right. Actually, that’s the most fortunate thing.”

Rute nodded solemnly.

After looking at Grace and then at Iliya, the difference felt even more stark.

Iliya was truly an angel.

Rute decided he would live his entire life grateful to Ordel and Iliya.

“Iliya, baby. I’m your grandmother, grandmother. Try calling me grandmother.”

“I’m your grandfather, Iliya. Won’t you call me grandpa just once?”

Trisha and Mikhail enthusiastically gestured to Iliya, trying to appeal their presence.

“Ah…”

“Yes! Grandmother! Grandmother!”

“Grandpa! Grandpa!”

“Ah… Mama!”

However, the moment Iliya smiled brightly and called out, both of them were crushed.

“Mama, Dada!”

“Yes, Mama and Dada are here.”

Rute looked at Trisha and Mikhail with a grin stretching from ear to ear. It was the smile of a victor.

“Honey!”

At Iliya’s subsequent exclamation, Trisha and Mikhail doubted their ears.

“What did he just say? Honey?”

“Honey!”

Iliya pointed alternately at Ordel and Rute with his finger.

“Honey! Mama! Dada!”

“Ah, Del and I call each other honey. At some point, the child started calling us either Mama, Dada, or honey. Right, honey?”

“Honey!”

Iliya repeated after Rute’s words and clapped his hands while giggling with delight.

Trisha and Mikhail exclaimed in admiration at his innocent appearance.

“Rute and Grace never babbled this cutely.”

Though Grace did at least mumble, Rute didn’t even do that.

He was so quiet from infancy that they once had him tested to see if something was wrong, only to be told he just didn’t talk because he found it bothersome.

In contrast, Rute’s son was normally cute and lovable like other babies, which was fortunate.

Ordel’s genes were the best.

“By the way, why is our princess being so quiet?”

Everyone’s gaze turned to Grace.

Even while everyone else was laughing and chatting, Grace was still just staring intently at Iliya.

Perhaps feeling the intensity of her gaze, Iliya also looked at Grace.

Seeing the unusual interaction between aunt and nephew, Rute set Iliya down on the floor.

One-year-old Iliya could now stand proudly on his own.

“Iliya, that’s your aunt, aunt.”

“Mmm?”

“Try calling her aunt. Aunt Grace.”

At Ordel’s words, Iliya tilted his head this way and that while staring intently at Grace.

Perhaps feeling less resistance because she resembled Rute, Iliya soon smiled brightly.

“Auntie!”

Then he called out loudly and toddled over to Grace, hugging the waist of his aunt who was bigger than him.

“Auntie!”

“My goodness.”

The adults who had been watching with bated breath exclaimed at his beaming smile.

Trisha and Mikhail, who still hadn’t heard him say grandmother or grandfather, looked at Grace with envious eyes.

However, Grace herself had a stiff expression on her face.

Worried about this, Trisha tried to separate Iliya from her.

“It’s okay, Mother.”

Rute stopped her.

“But…”

“Ordel and I are here too, so don’t worry and just watch.”

Trisha and Mikhail, who knew Grace’s temperament well, couldn’t relax.

Right then, Grace glared at Rute and shouted.

“I want to have him.”

It was a bombshell statement no one could have imagined.

“Nephews originally belong to their aunts, right? So I want to make him mine!”

“What are you talking about, you fool!”

Regardless of what anyone said, Grace hugged Iliya tightly.

Trisha held her forehead.

“I knew she’d be like this. That expression isn’t anger, it’s greed.”

Rute clicked his tongue.

Being blood relatives, he knew well. It was also an expression he sometimes saw in the mirror.

Grace’s obsession with Ordel seemed to have transferred to the cute and adorable Iliya.

“Listen carefully. Nephews are supposed to look up to their aunts like the sky. Because aunts are the highest people. Got it?”

“Don’t teach the child strange things.”

Trisha scolded, but Grace didn’t even pretend to listen.

“No.”

But Iliya shook his head vigorously and pointed at Ordel.

“Mama!”

“What?”

“Aunt is right.”

Ordel interpreted for the people who tilted their heads, unable to understand his words.

“He’s saying I’m the highest. His aunt keeps telling him that.”

“Aunt?”

“Jin. The Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God.”

Grace’s face had stiffened momentarily at Iliya’s cry of “no,” but relaxed when Jin, the Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God, was mentioned.

So that’s what he meant. It’s true that Ordel is the highest being.

“Then aunt is second.”

“No! Daddy!”

Iliya escaped from Grace’s arms and hugged Rute’s leg with his tiny hands.

Rute, grinning like a fool, immediately picked up his son.

“Did you hear that, sister? Iliya already has his priorities set, so don’t think about changing them.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

Grace shrieked.

She couldn’t accept being pushed behind not just Ordel, but Rute too.

“I want to be second. Brother, go away!”

“That’s for Iliya to decide. Aunt comes much later, so please step aside.”

“No!”

Grace stamped her feet, but she couldn’t snatch Iliya away from Rute, who was much bigger than her.

“Kyahaha!”

Iliya burst into laughter, thinking Grace reaching out toward him was trying to play.

Trisha and Mikhail grimaced at the sight of their children acting more childish than their one-year-old grandson.

“That one even had a child, how long is she going to act like this?”

“Miss Ordel must have it hard. I’m sorry for not educating my son properly.”

Ordel laughed at their dejected apologies.

“Please don’t say that. Rute takes after his father and is raising the child well.”

“Huh?”

“Rute told me. He remembers how hard you worked to raise him when he was little. He always tells me you’re a really good father.”

At Ordel’s unexpected words, Mikhail burst into tears without realizing it.
