Lien Empire.

Eldrina sighed in the rickety carriage.

I knew that this behavior was demeaning and had a negative impact on the atmosphere in the house, but since Glenn was suffering from the same hardships as her, I relaxed.

It’s been 100 days since my daughter left home to look for her son-in-law. Even today, there was no news about where Siriel had gone.

Thanks to Hugo, who is often away from home, she is used to waiting. Siriel also inherited Changcheon, so she was used to waiting for her daughter.

but,

Since the wait was unpredictable, Eldrina’s worries were beyond the limit.

Hugo says that he left for the devil’s land, but it is difficult to find someone to go to that rough place to ask about his daughter’s well-being, so it is natural for Eldrina to feel frustrated.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help.”

Glenn bowed his head towards Eldrina with an expression of apology. Since Siriel left for the Demon World, the Changcheon she led was again temporarily led by Hugo.

If that happens, the person who can go to the demon world is narrowed down to Glenn, but that’s also before the Danjeon was broken. In the end, all he can do is wait for the children with Eldrina.

“Don’t blame yourself. Even though she is my daughter, I didn’t know how fast her mother was dying, and did she really think I wouldn’t send her a letter?”

Letters that came every week.

After Siriel left, letters arrived at the mansion several times. Not long after that, the letters stopped coming.

“…I should have told you well back then.”

“Please don’t blame yourself. After all, isn’t he a child that I and I can’t stop?”

I wondered if something big had happened to both of them. But Eldrina decided to consider the signs positive.

Since the purpose of the letter was to convey greetings to Siriel, that purpose could have been achieved through their meeting.

“First of all, I think I was so distracted by the joy of reunion that I failed to consider the adults. Since I gave birth alone without a husband, the empty space in my heart must have been bigger.”

“…I really don’t have the honor to see my sister-in-law.”

Glenn rubbed his tingling chest.

Siron was unable to attend the birth of his daughter Ellis. Glenn thought he was partly responsible.

I think he was blaming himself more than necessary, but if you look at it more broadly, it wasn’t entirely his fault.

Siriel’s pregnancy. The birth of Ellis was, of course, something that should be celebrated, but it was a pregnancy done too hastily.

‘They say there is no true wife without children…’

Glenn chewed his lips and repeated Siriel’s words.

Siriel’s pregnancy was largely due to the emperor and his wife who showed up first, patting her swollen belly.

No matter how much the father-in-law recognized Siriel as his eldest daughter-in-law, Siron must have felt the burden as the number of women gradually increased by his side.

Is it a reaction to that? Rather than swing the sword by Siron’s side, Siriel chose to be the first to give him a child.

Because Siriel is no longer a child, she does not dream of becoming a hero in the world of great men. Rather, I wanted to portray happiness that was closer to home, not something that was instilled in me by others, but a happy life with my loved ones.

‘I was too short-thinking, why on earth did you ask me to raid a secret room just to enjoy a movie?’

Let’s just let Kylie into the concubine’s room…!

Glenn clenched his fists as if making a firm decision. Eldrina looked so sad that she had tears in her eyes.

‘…How sad you must be to ruminate over your anger.’

Glenn Frien.

A man who became crippled in a ‘big accident’ a year ago. Her husband didn’t tell her, so she didn’t know much, but Eldrina knew that Glenn was a warrior who was even better than Hugo.

When he was young, Hugo cut into two monsters that seemed to reach the sky. A young man who was neither bald nor beardless like he is now. Eldrinagi, who had been watching Hugo at that time, could not even guess how great Glenn’s power was.

What on earth would a person like that have to suffer to become crippled?

Also, since he went from being a private person to being an ordinary person overnight, Eldrina guessed that the helplessness that Glenn was feeling right now would be twice as much as her sadness.

“Raise your head. Sir, sir. There just isn’t any news yet, right? It’s too early to be so sad.”

“…Yes? Ah, yes.”

“I think positively. Since Siriel is infatuated with Siron, she may be showing off her love without even knowing that her parents’ hearts are burning.”

“Ah…”

“You don’t know, right? Maybe we’ll have another child during the trip.”

“…Maybe so.”

Glenn wondered why their comforting relationship had suddenly taken a turn, but he decided not to pay any attention to him.

Rattling-

It was then. A carriage running on Jungang Street stopped.

“Sister-in-law, you have arrived.”

Glenn skillfully held out his hand to escort Eldrina. Eldrina straightened her expression, even though she was disappointed that Hugo was not here.

Today is the day I go to see my granddaughter, who comes every other day.

*

Before going to the Demon World, Siriel said to take good care of Ellis.

When she was still an infant and needed her mother’s presence, she went to the devil’s land in search of a husband, an act that can be said to be irresponsible in some ways.

However, Glenn and Eldrina could not say anything about that behavior.

As for Glenn, he left all of his childcare to Yuma, and he fought in the demon world even when his wife died, so it’s only natural that he did so.

But what about Eldrina?

Eldrina was the daughter of a famous magic family that was popular not only in the empire but also on the continent.

Originally, children from noble families were not raised by their original wives, but hired nannies or nannies. So, until Eldrina started talking, she was raised by a nanny along with her sisters.

Because her beloved husband, Hugo, was not accustomed to the ways of nobles, and because she wanted an ordinary but ideal family, Eldrina raised Siriel herself, but it was natural for nobles that mothers and children did not live together during infancy.

Therefore, the situation without Siriel was not a problem at all.

Even if she had anxiety about not having her beloved granddaughter by her side, Eldrina was a noblewoman. If the nurse who gave her milk was someone she could trust with confidence, she was willing to endure this inconvenience.

And just in time,

There was a person who claimed to be a nanny.

A door decorated with gold and marble opened, and a woman came out to greet us with a bright smile behind it.

Louise Visconti. There were two beautiful children in her arms.

“You’re here, mother.”

“Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work.”

Eldrina bowed to Louise, and Glenn accepted Ellis. Perhaps because she was welcoming her grandfather into her arms for the first time in two days, Ellis did not cackling or whining.

“You can speak comfortably.”

“How can you do that as a subject? Your Majesty, please speak at ease.”

“How could I treat Siron’s godmother comfortably?”

“Godmother. I’m that child’s mother-in-law, and I’m not that great of a person…”

‘…Here we go again.’

Glenn was disgusted by the women’s bickering that started again today.

On the surface, it seemed like they were condescending to each other over trivial titles, but Glenn didn’t think so.

A thorough fight.

Louise is trying to be recognized as a member of the ‘family’ by Eldrina, and Eldrina wants to treat Louise as a thorough outsider.

This is not because Eldrina is simply a ungrateful, bratty person.

It was certainly good that the Emperor and his wife’s children and Ellis Prien could become breast brothers by sharing their breasts, but the problem was the ridiculous fact that they were also Siron Prien’s children.

Louise and Viktor also knew her, so they first bowed their heads to Eldrina, calling her a friendly title, “Mother.”

Because of her daughter’s position that she was in a dangerous place called the Demon Lord, Eldrina could not easily accept him.

I would like to welcome it, but I feel sorry for my daughter.

A problem of reason and emotion.

In the end, Eldrina’s best bet is to remain ambiguous and postpone until she hears news about her daughter.

‘Take it in moderation.’

But it’s a bothersome situation for Glenn.

I don’t know if it was because she resembled Siron or Siriel, but Ellis didn’t whine.

The child in Louise’s arms was already getting ready to whine and whine.

“Uh, huh?”

“Pass it over here.”

Glenn held out his empty hand toward Louise. Louise, who still lacked experience in raising children, ended up handing the child over to Glenn.

Glenn skillfully waved his arms to calm the child. Eldrina also widened her eyes at that sight.

“Are you good at soothing your baby?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, it looks like you have a lot of experience raising children.”

“Fish oil. No.”

Glenn grinned at the compliment he hadn’t heard in a long time.

“He has a knack for easily learning what he sees, so I just looked at him with a glance.”

Glenn thought of the woman who had raised the most children in the world.

“By the way, what is the child’s name?”

“That child is called Ubix, and the other child is called Fiore!”

Louise happily explained to Glenn’s interest. I haven’t had a chance to talk about it before, but I never thought my child’s whining would be so helpful.

“Fiore? Where is the child?”

“Fiore is now where His Majesty…”

“Your Majesty?”

Glenn tilted his head towards Louise, who suddenly looked embarrassed. As the puzzled face approached, Louise spoke cautiously with a red face.

“Wet. Lord, you are giving!”

“…milk?”

“Yes! My breasts are slowly starting to dry up, and recently His Majesty has been helping me breastfeed… What can I say!”

“Ah. I see.”

“For your information, Ubix is Your Majesty’s child and Fiore is mine!”

“I see.”

Glenn nodded and measured Louise’s chest. Her breasts were so large that it was embarrassing to even compare them to the emperor, so it was surprising that her milk was drying up.

And at the same time, I feel relieved.

‘I’m glad I have two mothers.’

Glenn felt proud of the emperor for thinking of breastfeeding even though he was so flat.
