As the renovation proceeded on the northern road, the vessels of the sheath began to rise.

Now the baby's gender can also be determined by the senses of the spirit. But Julia urgently stopped me.

“Let's keep it a secret until it's born. ”

“Why?”

“That way, when a child is born, it's twice as impressive! ”

You sound just like Leyra. Is that what's happening these days? You must be out of your mind. Can you stand it?

However, because Sis nodded and agreed, I decided not to reveal whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

I made fun of this secret because my mouth was itchy.

“Heeheehee, I know. I'm allergic.”

“Yikes! I told you not to do that! ”

I smiled and said to Julia, who was furious.

“It's a girl.”

“Tsk! Really? ”

I groan at Julia, screaming.

“No, I'm kidding. ”

“Well, is that your son? ”

“No, I won't teach you. ”

“Ahhh! Do you really want to get hit?! ”

I ran away from Julia, giggling and wandering the streets.

Meanwhile, by the end of the renovation to the north, the merchants began to frequently walk.

The roads are well-organized, making it easier for wagons and carts to travel, and royal troops stationed all over the Northern Hemisphere are guarding the Northern Hemisphere. We also protect civilians crossing the road as we go around patrolling from time to time, so we had to increase the number of passers.

Moreover, to get to the Horn Empire, we had to go through the northern road. Merchants trying to export goods to the Horn Empire used the northern highway. Thanks to this, the game streams in the north-central region of the Kingdom of Leaden have become active.

The more money I spent on the renovations to the North, the stronger my position in the Royal Family became. It is also proven that Caroc ligand was right again.

Thanks to previous experiences and luck, my career was impressive to many people that I had never failed.

This led to this reputation.

“The Kingdom of Leaden has gained the sage. ”

“A young sage will lead the country to resurrection. ”

Leydon's Wise Man.

It was my other nickname that came after the 'Mad Spirit'.

You call me a wise man, hahaha. That's a big one. By the time you meet me, you'll be disappointed because you don't look like a wise man.

Anyway, the name 'The Wise Man of Leaden’, along with my ability as a Senior Spirit, spread the wrong rumor among the people.

“He knows everything in the world through spirits. ”

“I have mastered all the principles of Mother Nature by achieving the drama of animosity. ”

Haha, that's...

Rumor has it I was a god after all.

Of course, after hearing this story, Julia just rolls her head and laughs. It's too funny to call me a wise man.

Yes, I didn't even think I was a wise man, but Julia's reaction to being too funny was disgusting.

So I fought back.

“Actually, I'm a wise man. I know that the child in cis' womb is a boy or a girl. ”

Then he ran away from the furious pursuit of Julia.

Unexpectedly, Sis had a child, who was discouraged.

He said it was good because he was his precious child, whether it was a son or a daughter.

It was always a sheath like a little girl, but sometimes it shows the mature mother like this.

Such a sheath was mysterious and lovely.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

King Erik sighs.

“Marquis……. ”

“Your Majesty, it's time. Now, please, let God go. ”

Duke Duron smiles and says.

The grief on King Erik's face is young.

I didn't want to leave.

It was Earl Duron who led himself, sometimes as an experienced and kind adult, sometimes as a loyal servant. It was harsh for young Eric to lose such a prize.

But I had to let him go.

The era of generation change was ripe.

Moreover, Duke Duron was brought to the Royal Court at an age when he should have retired. Holding back was like compelling.

“Earl Ligand will be a prodigy and do much more than God. Now God can leave without worries. ”

In the end, King Eric had no choice but to surrender.

“…… I see. I'll announce it at the next court. ”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

“Thank you, Earl Duron. I will remember you as my everlasting Shinhaisa master. ”

“Your Majesty……. ”

Earl Duron's eyes turn red.

“Hnng, I hope you're okay. I hope nothing happens! ”

“What are you worried about? You're prepared to die even if you get stabbed. ”

Julia shudders around the doorway, nagging at me for restlessness.

When the sheath began labor, I sent in the midwives I had hired to prepare for childbirth. I prepared ten bottles of healing potions for one incident, and I still put the undead next to the sheath.

Woundee was still energizing the healing power of Sissy and the child in her belly.

“Sunbae, Sunbae, please Sunbae! ”

“Stop it! ”

“Ugh, what's wrong with my Sissy? It still hurts like that. ”

“I can't hear it in my ears. Does it hurt?”

“Yes! I can't hear you very well, but you're giggling!" ”

“That's good enough to have a baby! And he's always been good with pain. ”

“But……. Ugh, this is all I am. I got her pregnant and made her do this. I need a beating! You deserve it! ”

“Do you want to hit me? ”

“ ……. ”

No, it hurts when you hit it.

But it was then.

“Oh! Head! I got a head!”

I screamed.

I was sharing my senses with the spirits, and I felt clearly at the scene of birth in the room.

I'm starting to see his head. The old midwife urges Sis to stay strong.

“Are you sure? ”

Julia shudders with a small face.

And finally, the sound of a baby's crying echoes through the room.

“Come on, you did it! ”

I raised my hands and cheered.

“Aaaaah! Oh, my God! ”

Julia went crazy, too.

As soon as the midwife opened the door, we rushed inside.

“My Lord, here.... ”

The midwife smiled and tried to give me a baby. But Julia snatched it away.

“Out of the way! ”

“Huff! Kid! ”

Julia grabs the baby, pushing me over her shoulder. “No! It's my privilege as a father to hold a baby first! ”

“Shut up. The baby's scared. ”

Julia shyly held the baby in her arms and said to me.

“Ugh... ”

It was very unfair, but when I saw Julia with a slight tear, I laughed. It was Julia who was impressed as if she was her own child.

I saw the baby next to him.

It was small and wrinkly.

But it was so lovely.

My flesh. My bones. My precious child that cannot be exchanged for a thousand gold.

Deep in my heart, I felt a tingling and hot feeling. I tried hard to hold back my tears, and I gently touched the child's cheek.

“Hi, sweetie. It's Dad... ”
