Chapter 443. Birth (2)
Yesterday I had something to discuss, so I left the estate and came back late, so I was only confirming it in writing.
The gift refers to the congratulatory gifts sent from all over the world when Pena’s pregnancy was announced.
It wasn’t until about a month ago that I informed people around me that I was pregnant.
Medicine also relies heavily on magic, and technically it is still insignificant.
People around me, including my mother, already know, but other than that, it hasn’t been officially announced until recently.
Still, you would have noticed in the middle of the day.
The fact that a woman who has just been married suddenly doesn’t appear in the social world for more than half a year is enough to be expected.
So, as soon as it was announced, it seemed that various places sent a lot of congratulations.
Indeed, there are many different ways to flatter.
Once you give, you receive.
However, among the gifts they sent, I only told them to put medicines and the like in the warehouse in moderation.
I’m not suspecting anything else.
Most of the health benefits they send are close to folk remedies.
Sure enough, among the medicines, the placenta is the one with only the wrong effect.
Other than that, Pena said it was okay to look at the list as long as it wasn’t too burdensome.
And there are those who didn’t say it on purpose to Pena, but send completely nonsensical bullshit.
‘…No matter what, it’s already too early to talk about concubines.’
It’s not just gifts they sent.
There is already a guy who even brings up the agenda of who to recommend as a concubine.
Of course, those guys sneakily drew a line on the notepad in my heart.
These guys are checked for ‘humanly unreliable guys’.
I don’t see it as a bad thing to be ambitious, but you have to time it well, right? Is not it?
And no matter who suggested it, I have no intention of accepting a concubine from someone else.
Well, I already thought of an answer to that question, so I decided to go and think about it then.
Just then another problem came to my mind.
“Come to think of it, the nanny candidate also came up, right?”
“Yeah, I sent a lot here and there. Just looking at the list piled up made me dizzy.”
Besides presents, one more thing they are fighting among themselves is who to recommend as a ‘nanny’.
There are two main types of nannies.
One is a nanny who takes care of a child who has grown to some extent.
For example, someone like Chena, who took care of me when I was a child.
And the other is a nanny who literally hires someone else to breastfeed the baby at the same time.
Of course, this distinction is not absolute as both may or may not be employed depending on the case.
Just think of a nanny to take care of the child.
Even if there is no recommendation story, it is something to be considered separately.
And considering the timing of the birth and the preparations for the nanny to stay here after that, I have to make a decision soon.
“All of our maids have no experience taking care of children. You will have to bring it in from outside.”
All of our staff are young.
Taking care of a child is not as easy as it sounds.
Is it just me too?
Of course, I was a good kid who didn’t go out of hand.
But unlike me, ordinary children have to pay extra attention.
Even if you take your eyes off it for just one second, it’s the existence of a child that jumps out as if you’ve used the axis method.
Kids are much faster than we imagine.
Of course, I can’t entrust it to someone with experience, and I don’t want to entrust it too much.
It’s ironic, but that’s probably the same mindset.
Therefore, it is common for a woman with experience raising children to be a nanny for children from aristocratic families.
That’s why you have to be careful with the personnel line.
He is a person who can influence his children, so it is difficult for people who are imbued with external ambitions to come.
“At first, I thought about entrusting it to the person who was in charge of my nanny…. It’s
common to entrust it to someone who used to be one’s own nanny, so I considered that too.
“Wouldn’t Chena be overpowered just by taking care of Leah?”
Apparently, Chena, who was my nanny, would be quite burdened by just following Lia now.
From what I’ve heard, it’s said that he walks quite well.
So it would be difficult to ask.
Come to think of it, Lia will soon become an aunt.
Before entering the railroad, he had a niece and nephew with a difference in age.
How bizarre that would be.
Well, it seems to be a common thing on this floor.
“Then what will the nanny do?”
“Well, if things don’t work out, it would be better to call in the most reliable person from outside.”
If it’s ideology, you can even brainwash it. Whoop whoop whoop whoop.
It sounds like a villain, but I can’t help it for the sake of peace in my family.
“Hmm… that’s right.”
However, after hearing that there was no special plan on my side, Pena was devising something with a strange voice.
Noticing the change, I sneakily asked.
“Is there anyone you would like to bring in?”
“If it’s outside, it’s okay if I’m not in Ernesia Kingdom, right?”
“Hmm… I don’t think there’s any need to limit it. At least to your hometown, there is no problem.”
Having roughly guessed her intentions, I said so.
He had a sense of what Pena was going to say.
“Is there anyone you want to call to the Empire?”
“Yeah, I just remembered one person I want to ask. There’s someone who used to be my nanny. Could I ask that person?”
indeed.
Wouldn’t that be a problem then?
The justification is clear and there is nothing to oppose otherwise.
After all, it’s because you bring the nanny who took care of you from your hometown when you were young.
career and its cause.
Other nobles wouldn’t be able to grumble.
I too think that is reasonable.
However, since this place is so far from the Empire, it will not be easy to decide.
Even considering the preparation period, I don’t have enough time.
If so, you’d better make a quick request.
“Then I’ll contact them soon and tell them to prepare. Would you like to send a letter?
“Oh, because that’s good. He will surely come if I ask.”
Seeing how confident she is, she must be a trustworthy person in her own way.
Then I believed and decided to leave the nanny appointment to Pena.
“I’m talking about this, but thinking that I still have a little more time to be born, I feel like I’m making a big fuss. it is not so?”
“The time left is running out. So, give me a little more strength. Understand?”
“Arel, too, don’t go around doing weird things. know?”
At her joke, I smiled refreshingly, as if to express that it could be.
“You know it’s real, right?”
“Everyone knows.
I gently hugged Pena from behind and told her.
But today, for some reason, Pena smirked slightly meaningfully after this.
“…Hey? So, I guess the young ladies had a lot of fun at the social church last week?”
“Nothing.”
I know it’s a joke.
So instead of panicking, I just shrugged my shoulders slightly.
“I have recently developed a hobby that gives me false hope.”
“It will be difficult.”
Well, just like I said, the remaining time will pass quickly.
If you work hard every day, the time will come quickly.
It’s the same everywhere.
Time passed leisurely and nothing happened after that.
My estate, Fahilia.
And the atmosphere in our house also flows steadily without much fuss.
You might even say it’s smooth.
Pena’s stomach has already visibly swollen, and now the due date has become clear.
It’s not long.
That’s why I’m living without any problems even though I’m receiving everyone’s worried stares.
I also have to show a little bit of sincerity lately.
With this in mind, he would not leave the castle unless it was tolerable.
Even in this atmosphere, I have never become human trash to the extent of playing around immaturely.
Not only me, but the head of any family is bound to be in a possible territory at a time like this.
Maybe it’s because nobles and royalty usually don’t care too much about whether or not a child is born.
Everyone seems to be happy with my attitude.
Just a little attention to each and every thing makes the house peaceful.
From the beginning, the basics of family life are consideration.
And just like that, day by day.
For the soon-to-be-born child, a maid named Pena’s former nanny came to visit.
Even though it was a long way, he must have been a trustworthy person considering that he was willing to come to us at the request.
“Nice to meet you, Areel Ernesia. And I’ll see you after a long time, Miss Pena.”
A middle-aged woman with a calm impression bowed her head as soon as she saw Pena and me.
I nodded and welcomed her, and Pena greeted her as if she was happy.
“Come on, Nerica. I hope you will come like this.”
“It is natural. More than that, I’m really impressed.”
Nerica.
The woman, Pena’s former nanny, carefully held Pena’s hand and closed her eyes as if thrilled.
“There was a time when you were so small, but already like this… I never thought the time would come when you would embrace someone else’s child.”
Well, my nanny came over with my mom once recently.
‘Arel-nim is still the same as when he was small.’ I laughed bitterly.
Hey, I’m self-employed.
Anyway, it was a warm atmosphere for the first time in a long time, so I took a step back.
No matter how I look at it, it’s not the time for me to wear it.
“Nerica is also very shy. It’s a long way from that, but thank you so much for coming.”
“Even if it’s not so, lately I’ve been free.”
Still, it’s the blood of the emperor.
The person who raised her is not a person who can be idle just because her job as a nanny is over.
The fact that she has come this far means that he really cares about the girl he has cared for since childhood.
Pena wouldn’t know that either.
That’s why he must be thrilled that he really came.
Anyway, the two of them must have a lot to talk about.
I gave moderate consideration and left.
In this way, it is being prepared without a hitch every day.
All that remains is for the child to be born.
And more time passed.
It is the coldest time even in Fahilia.
It was about that time to return, and finally Pena gave birth.
Perfect timing, almost as planned.
Fortunately, there were no major problems with childbirth.
Just in case I didn’t know, I secretly prepared various preparations in advance, but fortunately, they were almost unnecessary.
It’s good. It’s good.
It’s good to be prepared, but the best thing is to never have to use it.
If you think about this life so far, the first time you prepared for it must have been useless.
I tried to use my hand when I needed it, but I didn’t have to.
As Pena’s former nanny, who also had experience as a midwife, instructed, the ladies-in-waiting moved swiftly.
And finally.
My first child in this life was born.
