Oooh, ooh.

On the day Leon and I returned to Vulcania, a new life was born here.

A child was born between me and Liliana who will no doubt inherit the magic of Barca.

Even if I suddenly lose my life like Carlos, I'll be able to keep my magic in Barca.

"Good work, Lillina. Thank you for the safe delivery of your child."

"But I'm sorry, Ars. What did I say...."

"It's okay. Rest slowly."

It's been a long time since Lillina noticed.

It has been a long time since the water broke and she was able to give birth at any time.

It was forbidden for me and Leon to be there, and the midwife and Clarisse and other side servants watched over the delivery.

And I was born.

Both mother and child are healthy.

Above all, a boy was born who could inherit the magic of Barca.

After hearing a loud cry, I went into the room for a while, and I couldn't tell you what it looked like, but it made me feel satisfied.

But people other than me have dark faces.

Could you celebrate my child even more?

I think so, but it seems that even Liliana, who gave birth to a stomach ache, felt different from me.

While lying in bed all the time, he keeps apologizing for coming at me.

"... twins?"

I see. She's a healthy twin.... is it even customary for a knight's kid to have twins, Leon?

"That's right. It's not going to be a very good thing."

"Why? Is it said that twins make you weak or something like that is not nice?

"... Arus-sama doesn't seem to have much sense of repudiation in twins, does she?

"I don't think so. I wonder if they're identical twins at best."

"Mr. Ars, if you'll excuse me, I think you should have a little more sense of knighthood and common sense. Arus is the leader of the Balkan Knights, and he is an important person who needs to pass on the magic of the Balkans to future generations."

"Magic, huh?... that means that twins are viewed as a problem, that's what you're talking about.

"Exactly. The legacy of the magic inheritance of Barca, which is particularly influential and comparable to the nobility, will be heavily involved in the future. Not to mention, a lot of people remember tyrants just because they're twins."

It seems that twins are not very popular in this world.

I have a big feeling about why I care so much.

But that involved a great deal of the country's history.

Originally, the magic of nobility was connected to descendants from generation to generation by making children under the church ritual of inheritance between the then lord and his spouse.

If you have a child with the person who performed the inheritance ritual, and the child is a boy, you will be given magical inheritance rights.

The right of succession exists in the order in which it was born, and if the principal dies, the person with the highest order of succession automatically takes over the magic and magic paths.

As an exception, it is also possible to inherit magic by name from the principal regardless of the order of inheritance during life.

But in the case of twins, they don't know which is the upper right of inheritance.

It seems that it is not simply better to come out of the mother body quickly, and there are records that it is better to come out late to inherit the magic.

It seems that this is quite a problem for aristocrats.

Normally, the right of inheritance will be carefully educated with the superior as the main person, but it will be inconvenient if you don't know which of the twins it is.

For this reason, twins have long been considered undesirable.

However, the presence of a king called a tyrant led the twins to be called abominations.

The tyrant Nero is said to be the foolish king who once led this country to its collapse.

Nero, who held the throne, solemnly cleared himself of some of the nobles who disobeyed him.

However, many of the nobles and knights who challenged him defected from the king, causing him to be weakened so that the royal magic could not be used.

Until then, it was a country that embraced all kinds of problems, but that was the decision, and the country virtually collapsed, and the era of war began, which kept the regions on its own.

Then why did Nero become known as the tyrant?

There is no doubt that it is in the solemnity of the nobility.

But why did you do that?

That's because Nero was a twin.

Nero had a twin brother.

At that time, everyone thought it was Nero's brother who had the right to inherit the royal family.

And apparently, Nero himself recognized it.

When I was a child, my brother was educated to succeed the king, but Nero was not.

And the younger brethren were old, and when the king died, every servant thought that Nero's brother was worthy of the king in all his name.

But it wasn't.

It was Nero who inherited the throne.

Of course, I rubbed against the throne.

It's not just about the royal family, but it seems to have become a disturbance involving even the nobles around it.

Well, maybe so.

Normally, it will be firmly rooted and consolidate vested interests before becoming a king.

But the unexpected Nero became king, and the aristocracy who was close to his brother reduced his influence on the royal family, and the aristocracy who was close to Nero approached the supreme power.

As a result, Nero's politics didn't work out at all.

In addition to the fierce factional strife between the nobles, it went as far as the attempted assassination of Nero by radicalized nobles.

And Nero, who had reached the limit of patience, came out to exercise his strength.

Solemnly.

But what matters here is that Nero's brother is alive.

Nero did not take over the throne because his brother died.

What happens if Nero dies?

Actually, my brother's inheritance is still alive.

In other words, if Nero and his children kill everything they have inherited, the throne will return to Nero's brother.

That's right, it's war.

Thus, the royal family entered the civil war brilliantly.

It was a great war that divided the nobles and knights into two factions.

Thus, the royal family lost power.

Despite everything, Nero, who led the nobility to rebel, was unable to perform the royal magic and lost the royal authority.

"But wasn't it a problem that Nero was more amphibious than twins? I've heard people think of Nero as a woman."

"I don't have that kind of record, but I don't know if it's true. But that's all I can say for sure: Nero was a twin."

I don't know what's true anymore.

Anyway, Nero is positioned as a tyrant with the fact that he has destroyed the country.

Well, that may not have historically been the case.

After all, an independent nobleman against the royal family is telling the story of today's history.

Perhaps Nero, who was king, had a problem, or perhaps the rebellious aristocracy itself had a problem.

But I also found interesting descriptive books in it.

Nero said that he was a woman in appearance.

The twins born into the royal family were brothers and sisters, and no one expected that his sister Nero would inherit the throne.

And in the book, it was written that Nero had both male and female characteristics on his body, whether it was true or false.

Whether that's true or not is something I don't want to know right now.

"Well, anyway, now we're talking about these twins. We need to make sure we both grow up safely."

Thus, the turbulent childbirth was managed to end safely.

When I got along, I looked at the two babies who were so tired, but desperately crying, and decided to think about the future.
