birth

‘Ah, it’s warm… It’s so cozy… I want to keep sleeping here…’.

However, Junho woke up because some powerful force was pushing him away.

‘Where am I? Who pushed me out! hey!!’

Junho shouted loudly to understand the situation. But the only sound that came out of his mouth was a strong cry.

“Mite~ Mite~ Mite~”

“Congratulations!! mama! A healthy prince was born!”

There was a lot of noise around him, but Junho smiled with satisfaction when he heard that he was the prince.

‘God kept his promise… The prince… Unlike the dirt spoon in my last life, I can definitely play and eat in this life… And I should find Mr. Yuri and live a hundred years together and enjoy it. .. And even though he is a prince in name and title, wouldn’t it be acceptable to have a concubine? Hehehe’

At that time, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and a loud voice was heard.

“His Majesty the Emperor is coming in.”

‘Ah… If the emperor is my father… I’d like to see his face at least once.’

Junho forced his eyelids up and looked at his father.

‘omg! You’re totally a grandfather, right? Could it be that I mistakenly said His Majesty the Former Emperor rather than His Majesty the Emperor? Or, there is a possibility that I am not the prince but the imperial grandson.’

“Your Majesty is busy with government affairs… How did you end up here…”

“Hehe, I heard that the Empress gave birth to Jim’s son, so of course I have to come… Let’s take a look”

When the emperor held out his hand, the nurse who was holding Junho politely extended her hand and gave him to the emperor.

“Hehehe, the prince that the Empress gave birth to this time looks half and half like Jim and the Empress. Isabella looks just like me, so you would have been disappointed, but this is a good thing”

“How could Shincheop feel sorry for Your Majesty… You are misunderstanding, Your Majesty”

“Wow! The empress doesn’t like jokes. Where… let’s take a look at the prince’s pepper… Wow, this guy’s pepper is quite big, so it must make a woman cry, right? How can a newborn baby pepper be this big hahahaha”

Junho was offended by the emperor’s joke and struggled.

“Hello, Count Liechtenauer! It’s hard for me to hold the newborn prince struggling. What do you think? I think I will become a very strong knight when I grow up hahaha”

“Congratulations. your majesty! It seems that the prince was born with great military talents. Hahaha”

As the two men continued to chatter while holding the newborn baby’s body, the nurse, who became anxious that they might accidentally drop it, whispered something to the Empress. Then the Empress cautiously opened her mouth.

“Your Majesty. Could you please name the prince?”

The Empress asked the Emperor the baby’s name, and the Emperor thought for a moment before handing the baby over to the Empress. The Empress brought the baby back to her arms, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and warmed his body.

“Huh~ I suddenly asked Jim for his name and I couldn’t remember it. Does the empress have a name in mind?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. The new concubine wishes to name the prince Yuno”

“Yunora… Haha, isn’t that name one of the gods that our ancestors worshiped in the distant past, who controls childbirth? But how did you come up with the idea to give the prince that name?”

“The moment she saw the baby for the first time, the name Yuno immediately came to mind. Additionally, Yuno is in charge of not only childbirth but also the family. As the third prince, I would like to convey the meaning of supporting the royal family and becoming the prince’s strength”

Upon hearing the Empress’s words, a big smile appeared on the Emperor’s lips. The emperor, who was approaching 70 years of age, could not help but worry about the succession. In addition, the emperor was very worried because the current crown prince was young and weak, so a picture was drawn in the emperor’s mind of the newly born prince assisting his older brother and becoming a knight protecting the imperial family.

“Hmm~!! That’s how it should be!! Yunora.. Good!! I will name the third prince Yuno! And you can choose your middle name according to the tradition of your father and your family. Hello~ Announce the birth of the third prince, Juno Alexander Windrage von Balkan, and hold a three-day festival throughout the empire!!”

“Yes! your majesty! Congratulations!!”

“And to wish the prince a strong growth, please release all prisoners with less than one year left on their sentences, except for serious criminals!”

“I will follow your orders, Your Majesty!”

After hearing the emperor’s orders, the subjects withdrew and the emperor approached the empress again.

“Thank you for your hard work! I am so glad that the prince was born! Thank you for your hard work… Please rest well and take care of yourself for the time being. Yuria”

“Thank you. Your Majesty”

When Junho heard the empress’ name, his eyes widened.

‘Yuria…? No way… no way… ‘

And when the Empress opened her breast and put the breast in her mouth and brought her face closer to feed him, the baby’s blurry vision clearly showed the face of the mother who had given birth to him.

‘Aaaah!! Why is Yuri’s face here!! No matter how you look at this, this is what Yuri looked like when she was young!!! You’re like a fucking god!! Just because you asked for it to be easy to meet, did you really make it so easy?! ‘You fucking god!!!’

Junho, no, now Juno Alexander Windrage von Balkan, he cursed the god who reincarnated him. The woman he loved most in his past life, died with, and even reincarnated with, became his mother.

Of course, Yuno would love her as his mother in the future, but he fell into despair because it became impossible to love her as a woman.

‘No wait! Don’t you have to be old enough to become empress and give birth to me? Also, I think you said earlier that you have an older sister named Isabella. Then you shouldn’t be this young!! Just by looking at him, Yuri looks like he’s no more than a middle school student! Such a crazy perverted old man!!’

In Yuno’s opinion, the emperor was clearly a crazy old lolicon pervert. Therefore, Yuno began to feel that she had to protect Mr. Yuri from the Lolicon Emperor.

‘Ahh, Yuri is becoming my mother… Right… In a way, it’s because I couldn’t protect Yuri in my last life… In this life, I will definitely have to protect Yuri, no, my mother!!’

Of course, there was nothing Yuno could do as a newborn, and Yuno was wrapped in a swaddle, unable to move her hands and feet, and forced to put her mother’s nipple in her mouth. However, Yuno, whose mother still looks like glass, refused to suckle.

“Yuno~ Why aren’t you eating? You have to drink milk to become stronger~”

Empress Yuria was worried that Yuno was not breastfeeding, so she continued to put her milk into Yuno’s mouth and express the milk with her own hands, urging Yuno to drink the milk.

After a while, Yuno’s hunger came over her along with the sweet smell of milk, and she forgot her stubborn determination and began sucking her mother’s breast according to her baby’s instinct.

‘Ah, it’s sweet… This is mom’s milk… It’s so delicious…’

“Now he’s finally eating… He’s a good kid… My son needs to drink a lot of mom’s milk and grow up quickly~”

Yuno, who had already had enough milk, fell asleep in Yuria’s arms, and Yuria smiled softly as she looked at her son who was fast asleep.

“Mama… We will take care of His Royal Highness, so please rest and take care of yourself”

“No. nurse. I will take care of the prince myself. The nanny didn’t sleep the entire time she was giving birth, so go get some sleep”

“I’m afraid that if I do that, I’ll get hurt”

“I take care of my body. Don’t make me say it twice, Nanny!”

When the Empress spoke strongly, the nurse flinched, bowed politely, and retreated with her attendants.

So Yuria and the prince were left alone in the room, and Yuria looked at her son with loving eyes.

“Hehe, maybe he’s this cute and handsome? My son… isn’t he going to make a lot of women cry later, just like His Majesty the Emperor said? Huhuhu”

Yuria looked at her son for a while and suddenly felt herself falling asleep. It wasn’t that hard since it was my second childbirth, but seeing as I was already sleepy, it seemed like childbirth was definitely putting a strain on my body.

“Haaam, sleepy… Our prince~ You need to sleep well and grow up well~ When you grow up, you can go out and play here and there with mom~ Promise~”

Yuria fell asleep while holding her son’s cute fingers.

“Umm…Hmmnya…Mmmnya… Junho… I love you…”

Words that she loved someone flowed from the sleeping empress’ mouth, but no one heard them, not even Yuno, the person who said them, and Yuria, the person who spoke, did not know about them.

From the next day, Yuno spent every day sucking his mother’s milk, sleeping, and showing off his handsome face to his mother and the noble ladies who visited the empress’ palace.

The girls were so cute that Yuno just blinked and didn’t know what to do, and Yuno, who had no memories of women in his past life, was able to enjoy his current life even more.

A year later, Yuria once again gave birth to the emperor’s baby. The child born this time was a daughter.

Although she was not the prince he expected, the emperor was very pleased this time and named her Marie, one of the names of ancient saints, and hoped that she would grow up to be a virtuous and upright princess.

Yuno was also happy to see her newborn sister, and after a while, she said that she would carry her sister on her back, making the emperor, empress, and surrounding subjects smile.

But it wasn’t all happy things. After Marie was born, when Empress Yuria turned 16, the emperor no longer viewed the empress as a woman and no longer visited the empress’ bedroom, bringing in young concubines.

Of course, just because the empress, who gave birth to a prince, lost favor, that did not mean that she, whose biological family was a duke, was pushed out of the position of empress. However, as she had lost the emperor’s favor, nobles, their wives, and daughters who were greedy for power no longer flocked to her side, and only a few daughters who had been close to her since she was a maiden occasionally visited her for tea time.

Therefore, Empress Yuria was able to focus solely on childcare and raise the prince and princess with care.
