“Come on, son. What do you like the most?”

Rute brought the first birthday table closer to Iliya, who was in his arms.

Despite the crowd, Iliya had never cried or whined once, and this time too he looked at the various objects spread before him with curious eyes.

“Pick anything you want. Whatever you like.”

Ordel’s heart was pounding.

When she was in Korea, she had thrown countless first birthday parties for her younger siblings at the orphanage, but this was her first time celebrating her son’s first birthday, so she felt excited and expectant.

The attendees, who were also experiencing this kind of birthday party for the first time, felt the same way.

Everyone stood perfectly still with their hands clasped tightly together, waiting for Iliya’s choice.

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ nervously swallows saliva in anxiety.】

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ wipes sweaty palms on the clouds.】

【’Raging Sea’ holds their breath and waits for the Young Saint Candidate’s choice.】

“Uung.”

Iliya glanced at the people’s gazes focused on him, then looked back at the first birthday table.

The child licked his lips and slowly reached his hand toward the most eye-catching miniature mace.

“…!”

“Good choice…!”

Priestess Airic and Seth, High Priest reacted first.

Everyone from the Sun God’s Main Temple exclaimed in admiration.

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ jumps up from their seat, saying just grab it.】

The Three Sovereign Gods were going wild.

“….”

Iliya glanced at people’s reactions, then quietly moved his hand to the miniature axe.

“Ahh….”

The people from the Sun God’s Main Temple let out sighs of disappointment.

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ screams that it’s not right.】

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ claps, saying that’s right!】

The Eternal God was shouting loudly to grab it right now, but.

“Baby! You don’t need to follow in my footsteps!”

The Holy Maiden’s reaction was different.

She had only placed it there to go with the atmosphere, but she really didn’t want her nephew to become a saint of that foolish god.

“Ung.”

And Iliya, who listened best to his aunt after his mom and dad, immediately withdrew his hand.

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ is frustrated. They shed tears asking how their Holy Maiden could say such things.】

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ giggles, saying they knew it would happen.】

Ordel pushed aside the messages from the gods who had been making noise.

Every time Iliya reached for an object, people reacted immediately.

“Huk!”

“Heot!”

“Ah!”

“Aigo!”

“Kyareureuk!”

And as if he found this amusing, Iliya just laughed without easily grabbing anything.

“I didn’t know my son was such a mischievous type.”

Rute let out a hollow laugh at this fact he was learning for the first time on his first birthday.

“Come on, Iliya. Stop playing around and choose now.”

But they couldn’t let him just play around forever.

Ordel patted Iliya’s bottom, urging him.

“Eung.”

Iliya nodded.

No matter how stubborn he was, since mom was more stubborn, Iliya tended to listen well to Ordel in particular.

Iliya scanned the objects one more time, then smiled brightly and reached out his hand.

“This!”

“Uh…?”

“Huk.”

“Ahahaha!”

Soon people were flustered seeing what the child had grabbed.

Jin burst into loud laughter.

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ is confused, asking if this is right.】

【’Raging Sea’ bursts into laughter, saying it’s very childlike.】

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ says reluctantly that it is the best choice when you think about it.】

The Three Sovereign Gods were also surprised by the child’s choice.

What the child held in each hand was none other than Ordel and Rute’s hair.

The two people, with their hair caught in their son’s left and right hands, laughed in bewilderment.

“As expected of my son. He knows exactly what’s best.”

“That’s right.”

What else could he need?

With Ordel, the strongest on the continent, and Rute, who boasted the greatest wealth on the continent, as his parents.

It was natural that only those two people were visible in Iliya’s eyes.

“Congratulations, my nephew!”

Jin was the first to stand up and applaud.

“Congratulations.”

“Young master’s future will be filled with happiness.”

Others also belatedly smiled and offered their well-wishes.

Pop!

Golden, black, and blue lights scattered like flower petals overhead.

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ congratulates ‘Iliya Sieri’ on his first birthday.】

【’Raging Sea’ blesses ‘Iliya Sieri’s’ future.】

【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ wishes for the Holy Maiden’s Family’s eternal happiness.】

Ordel smiled brightly at the gift sent by the Three Sovereign Gods.

“Son, happy birthday.”

“Happy birthday, son. But I’d appreciate it if you’d stop pulling daddy’s hair.”

Ordel and Rute kissed their son on both cheeks.

Unlike Ordel, whose hair was caught at the bottom, Rute, whose hair was caught close to his scalp, was saddened by his son’s merciless grip strength.

His hair also reached below his collarbone, so he couldn’t understand why it was being held so tightly.

“Maybe he’s foreseeing your future of having to take care of your son until he becomes an adult.”

Rute, who had been trying to free his hair from Iliya’s grasp, gave up at Ordel’s words.

Ah, if that’s what it was.

“I’ll raise him to be a wonderful son.”

Rute smiled and kissed Ordel on the lips.

The child, accustomed to his parents’ affectionate displays, sat up and gave both of them loud kisses on their cheeks.

The harmonious family of three looked at each other and smiled brightly.

Buried in everyone’s blessings and congratulations, Ordel felt certain she would be happy with her family until death.

Here, in this second homeland that had become more precious than Korea.

She was already looking forward to the future that would unfold.

* * *

[This is quite nice too.]

Divine Realm.

The Sun God, who had been looking down at the earth, smiled.

Since the Young Saint Candidate was born, there had been many more days of smiling.

[I was going to bestow my divine power if he grabbed the axe. What a pity.]

The Eternal God, who had hoped until the very end, let out a sigh of disappointment.

Since it was an agreement reached among the Three Sovereign Gods, it would have succeeded if only his Holy Maiden hadn’t interfered.

It was truly regrettable.

[Leaving already?]

The Sun God asked the Sea God, who was silently departing while gripping his spear.

[I need to go comfort my Holy Maiden who’s sulking because I really didn’t invite her when she said there was no need to invite her to the first birthday party.]

The image of Holy Maiden Carmen throwing a tantrum at the Temple of the Sea God and Holy Knight Dominic trying to comfort her while unable to hide his own disappointment naturally came to mind.

The Sun God and Eternal God nodded with laughter.

That child was still as dishonest as ever.

[That fellow was also secretly hoping for the baby’s choice, so he must be disappointed.]

The two gods couldn’t help but notice the disappointment dripping from the Sea God’s steps as he returned to his domain.

[The child will grow up healthy. Of course, being the son of Ordel and Rute.]

The Sun God looked down below again.

It was the first time in history that two humans with divine power had united, and that a child was born from their union.

So that child would also leave his name in history like his parents.

[Isn’t there another child who could leave their name in new history?]

At the Eternal God’s words, the Sun God turned his head.

In one corner of the Divine Realm, there was a small sphere emitting light.

It was precisely the new embryo that would fulfill Rute’s earnest wish.

The Sun God was also eagerly waiting for this to be completed.

[Indeed. The first child to be born here will become my sword.]

This was divine intuition that could also be called prophecy.

Ordel, who didn’t yet know this fact, was laughing joyfully with everyone.

[I’m curious about Ordel’s expression when she sees this.]

Though a young Saint Candidate had been born, the most precious child to the Sun God was still his Holy Maiden.

He was very much looking forward to seeing Ordel faint when she learned about this.

The Sun God smiled and earnestly wished for Ordel’s future to be filled with brilliant possibilities.
