"How are you, Lillina?

"It's settled down a lot lately, Ars. I think it'll make you nauseous."

I see. I'm glad. As expected, this illness can't be cured by [recovery]. "

"That's right. This is not a disease. Because it's also evidence that your precious child stayed with Arus-sama."

After the labyrinth expedition and returning to Fontana territory, I did a lot of work.

That's why I was flying around in Fontana territory, but today I'm returning to Vulcania's Balka Castle.

My wife, Liliana, currently lives in this castle of Barca.

Originally, Carlos had decided that the Knight of Fontana would move to Fontana, including his family.

But when Carlos died and protected his illegitimate son, Gallo, to Vulcania, Liliana also returned to Vulcania to live with him.

Even so, I built a house of the Barca family in the city of Fontana, so I've been there before, but I've been mostly in Vulcania lately.

Why is that?

As a matter of fact, I began to develop some symptoms on Liliana's body a while ago.

Nausea and laziness appeared at the border at a time when my appetite began to drop a little.

But it wasn't a disease or an injury.

After an expert diagnosis, Liliana found out she was pregnant.

That means my kid was born.

Liliana, who was suffering from symptoms, spent time in Vulcania, managing her physical condition using medicinal herbs made of glass greenhouses.

And it gradually stopped, and the symptoms such as nausea seem to have improved considerably.

My stomach is a little swollen when I touch it, but there is still no reaction such as kicking my stomach from inside.

But there was no doubt that a new life had taken root in Liliana's body.

Next year's birth means I'll be a father at the age of 15.

Somehow I thought it might be too early, but I got married when I was 10.

If you think so, you can say that it took a long time to have a child.

I myself lived quite a busy and fulfilling life, and I have memories of my previous life, so I felt that it would be better if it took a little time.

But Liliner seems to be different.

It was good at first, but she was secretly in a hurry because she couldn't have children for years.

Especially it was my fault.

He became the current proxy of the Fontana family, guardian of Garold, son of Carlos, and founder of the magic of Barca.

What if, for some reason, I die suddenly in a state where I can't have children?

The rapidly expanding Fontana family will undoubtedly be rough.

That's all you have to do to avoid having a child.

That's what I was starting to think.

Moreover, a long-awaited child with such thoughts must be a [boy].

Because when Liina and I got married, we performed the inheritance ritual of the church where magic would be passed on to the child, but only a man could inherit my magic through this ritual.

If a girl is born, she can't inherit magic no matter how hard she works.

Anyway, I'm just curious about the boy.

"Well, you don't have to think so seriously. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter. As long as Liliner is safe."

"Really, Mr. Ars? I'm glad you're lying."

"I'm not lying. Definitely from the bottom of my heart."

"... that's what I heard. I took the woman home when I went to Percival territory. You look beautiful."

"Huh? You mean Lucika? That's not it. Lucica was originally a labyrinth explorer, and she admitted it because she swore allegiance to me. That's all."

"... I'm sorry, Mr. Ars. I said something rude. I've heard about Lucica, too. But I'm still worried... I wondered if Alss had been taken away by other women."

"No, I was careless, too. However, Lucika and Jane are used to fighting, even though they are women. I'm thinking of getting Liina and the sidekicks to work on the security."

Hmm.

She seems more anxious than Liliana thought.

Well, this kind of time will be mentally unstable, and above all, there may be times when I'm just going out everywhere and I'm not usually around.

You may need to be a little more careful.

In the meantime, it's not good to be evil with Lucika and the others.

Yeah, that's right.

Elvis, who entered the Labyrinth with him, must have liked Lucica a lot.

Lucica will marry him.

Then I'll talk to my part-time brother and get Elvis to work for Barca.

Once Lucica can be trusted to a certain extent, she can be named a Vulcan Knight.

If you ask me to be a knight to protect Lilina and her child, will you accept me?

What should I do next?

Anyway, you'll need to create an environment where Liliner can have a baby with confidence.

At first, I thought either sex was fine, but when I thought about Liliana, I really wanted a boy to be born.

While I was getting advice from various people and preparing for childbirth, I decided to spend as much time as possible with Lilina as I started to accumulate more snow.
