─ ─ Villain Lady Mother, you are pregnant

"Astrid. I have important news."

"What is it, father?

That's when you were wondering what I would do with my usual holidays out to the Adventurer Guild. I was called to your father's study, where I waited to see what your father would say.

"Luise is pregnant. You can have a brother."

"Huh!?

What!? I can't believe your mother was pregnant!

"You are the eldest daughter of the Duke of Oldenburg family, but it is difficult to inherit the title of nobility. I was also thinking about adopting him for a while, but fortunately Louise got me pregnant. This could solve future succession problems."

"Good for you! I can't believe I can have a brother, too!

"Oh. Very good."

What should I do? Iris is like my sister, she's adorable, but she's going to be just as adorable if she had a real brother. I hope that doesn't make Iris jealous or anything.

"I hear it's week 8 or 9 of pregnancy now. It takes about seven months to give birth. I try not to strain Luise. You have to help me."

"Yes!"

I'm not interrupting the birth of my brother.

Oh. What kind of kid is he? I wonder if she looks like a father or a mother. Either way, you'll definitely be a beautiful man. Fun, fun!

... but Friedrich's guy was still tearing down a house with young kids who weren't even a year old. That bastard, that's really an outside road. I might still have to send him to the headstand.

Anyway, let's go check on your mother.

"Mother! How's your body!

"Yeah. I'm healthy. And my belly child."

There are no pregnancy test drugs in this world, so we have to judge them by their menstrual cycles or by the swelling of their stomachs. You have a fine boy in that mother's belly who will inherit the future Duke of Oldenburg.

By the way, I can tell to some extent in Blood Magic if it is a boy or a girl who is in the womb. Blood Magic Seriously Convenient. I am also convinced that all the doctors in this world are magicians.

"Mother. She says that for the fetus to grow healthy, you should let her listen to music or read a book. Then a very smart child will be born."

Honestly, I've never been pregnant, and I've never thought about it before, so my knowledge of pregnancy is not good. I heard that I should let them listen to the music, but would it have been nice to read the book and let them listen?

"Really? Then from now on, I'll read the book and let you hear it, and I'll sing you a babysitter. I've told you babysitting songs many times when you were in your stomach, but you don't remember."

"Shh, excuse me..."

Did your mother know about this?

"And you're gonna be a mother, too. You should see what your mother will look like. Because sometimes it's hard and painful, but when a child is born, all that hard work blows up."

"Yes!"

I'll marry someone and have a baby. I wonder if I want one boy and one girl at a time. When a girl is my sister, I feel like she can bake a lot of care for me.

Well, I don't even have a boyfriend as opposed to a child right now!

"Mother. Please rest. For yourself and the baby in your stomach."

"Yeah. I know. In addition to the servants, I might ask Astrid for a lot of things, okay?

"Yes! Of course!

Hehe. Looking forward to it.

I wonder what my brother's name will be. I wonder if my brother would be as magical as I am. I wonder if I sometimes fight with my brother.

Oh. The next 7 months. I'm not looking forward to it!

"That's why, Beth. Your mother's pregnant!

"Yeah. I know you do."

"Also. Beth will look into it on her own."

I decided to spread the news of my mother's pregnancy quickly at school. Beth won't be able to take over the future Duke of Oldenburg.

"Now I feel like my shoulder's loaded, too. Even if I'm not forced to marry you anymore, the Duke of Oldenburg will take over. For once, it's better to be free to choose who you're dealing with!

"I feel a little too optimistic."

Beth, don't water my delight.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Duke of Oldenburg family, no matter what. If His Excellency Paul intends to further develop the Duke of Oldenburg family, the marriage partner will choose carefully. That's the royal family like Mr. Friedrich."

"Uh-huh. Give me a break."

It's a good thing your father aims to develop the house, but he doesn't want me involved in it. I want to benefit from the Duke of Oldenburg, but not as much as I would like to make some contribution. It's selfish, but that's what I am.

"Please continue to act consciously as a Duke's child, Mr. Astrid. That's what nobility is."

"That's why I absolutely don't like Friedrich. It doesn't fit him by the time he's deadly, and there's a ruin flag. The house will collapse instead of develop. We're going to have to flee to a third country with dairy drinkers."

"I don't know how that can happen, but surely you're not for the Crown Princess. If Mr. Friedrich were to be bound to Mr. Elsa in three years in the High Ministry, as you were prophesied, you would not be the Crown Princess."

"Yes. Friedrich is bound to you, Elsa. So Happy Ending"

Beth is still skeptical, but Friedrich's guy is bound to you, Elsa. Elsa, a hard-working man to the extent of Friedrich, feels like you're a waste, but Elsa, you're not a pain in the ass either, okay?

"By the way, how many kids does Beth want? Oh, I'm already having kids............?

"Ha. I'm not here. Because I'm not even married yet. And the child…… doesn't want much"

Beth shrugged so as she lowered her gaze.

"Out of the way? I want boys and girls one at a time. I think it would be best if a girl was born first."

"I guess that's what you think because you're a normal person. But I'm from the Engelhardt family. Cursed curse-killer clan. I want to end this cursed genealogy. In my place, the Engelhardts want to end it."

Beth...... That's what I was thinking.

"Beth wasn't cursed or anything. I'm sure Beth has something a little off about it, but it's sweet. If you cursed me to death, you'd be free from trouble, but you didn't."

"I have ethics, too. This is why I hate this genealogy that gained immortality until I sacrificed others. I hate the genealogy that has so far built its place through the curse. That's why I have to end this cursed genealogy"

Beth's mood is unimaginable to me. Beth has been a member of the Engelhardt family since birth - a vampire.

I guess that duty was heavy. Born into a curse landlord, he may not have been able to refuse to carry out the curse like his ancestors did.

Now Beth is from the Rosenkreutz Association, but it seems miraculous that a person from the Engelhardt family named Beth entered the Rosenkreutz Association to use magic correctly. I'm sure he wanted to do a little right with what his ancestors had done.

I've been using magic all over myself, unless I'm sorry. Though I'm not going to change it again!

"Beth is a good girl. It doesn't matter if the ancestors are. So I guess I want Beth to be happy! But the person you're married to has to be someone Beth understands. You're not supposed to stick around with the right people, are you?

"Yes, sir. I'll be careful."

Beth laughed a little when I told her.

"Guys, listen up! Your mother's pregnant! I can have a brother!

"That would be great!

After school, you guys cheered for me to give this good news in the True Magic Research Department room.

"Now the Duke of Oldenburg house is also cheap. Honestly, I was anxious that the Duke of Oldenburg would succeed."

"That's not true. Master Astrid would have done well."

Yeah, yeah. I'm happy to flatter you, Mr. Lotte.

"By the way, how many kids does everyone want?

I decided to finally get everyone's opinion on this topic.

"Right. I want five boys and five girls."

"Eh? So much?

Meine, you raise an astonishing number.

Some say kids want enough to make a football team, but no matter how much, that's too much...... Body, can you stand it? Can you be so childish and properly raised in the first place?

"'Cause aren't kids cute? If you are bound to Adolph, you will have Adolph's children, and you can have as many as you want. Of course I will love you all equally. I'm also thinking of a candidate for a name."

"Heh. That's great, Meine."

Oh, isn't love just a little heavy...? Will Adolf be able to handle you properly Meine...... I'm starting to get worried about Adolf.

"How many Lottes do you want?

"Right. You want a girl as your sister and two boys as your brother. Because when I have a sister, I feel like a boy is going to grow up well. I have a sister and a brother, but they often take care of each other, take care of each other, and support each other."

"That's true! Sister and brother would be nice!

Double the number, Lotte, but your ideals are with me. I still think having a solid sister makes parenting easier. I don't know because I'm an only child, but I feel that way imaginatively.

Or exactly I have a brother and I'm in that position! Wow, can I take good care of my brother...... You're not very confident......

"How's Brigitte?

"If you're Zoltan's child, as many as you want."

Wow! Brigitte, you love so much too. Brigitte, you're going to graduate next year, and you're going to marry Master Zoltan in the sunshine, but will you make an immediate child? Hmm. It's hard to imagine Brigitte being the mother you are right now.

But I know about Senior Valtrout when you get married, so I'm sure you'll be a motherly woman, too, Brigitte.

"What about Sandra?

"The kid hasn't thought about it yet. In the meantime, I came to talk to you, but this is the kind of stage where I'm thinking about what to do."

Oh!? Sandra, I'm here to talk to you too!?

"What kind of person, by the way?

"He's a child of a professor at this school, and he's six years younger than me. She's also enrolled in school and enrolled in elementary school, but I haven't met her yet."

"Heh. I know an associate professor at school, too. Dr. Wolff."

"Ah! That's him! I'm here to talk to the kid!

"Eh!?

Sandra, is your opponent Dr. Wolfe's child?

But, Dr. Wolfe, at some point, did you emerge from associate professor to professor? I didn't know because I haven't seen her recently. Next time, let's celebrate.

"By the way, what kind of person is Dr. Wolfe?

"He's a very good teacher of study, and he's a smart jumper. You must be a smart girl because you are the child of that Wolfe teacher!

Thanks also to Dr. Wolfe for teaching me how to do well in magic right now. You must be smarter than me, with an English talent education, because you are such a Wolfe teacher's child.

"For once, why don't we meet at the elementary school?

"Yeah, I'll try that."

But it's just amazing. The world is small.

"How many children does Master Astrid want?

"I guess there's one girl and one guy. I think this is the limit."

Births and education are tough, and I'm the limit for both of you.

"Your son Astrid is the future emperor, Your Majesty."

"I wonder why that happens, Meine……………………"

The words said by His Majesty the Emperor at the court dinner party are still affecting the school, and there are various attempts to stick with me and Friedrich everywhere.

I really want you to give me a break......

But whose children will I have in the future?

I hope you're someone who can help me raise my children.
