I Became the illegitimate son of a duke

90 – Spring (2)

“Ugh… Ugh…”

“Ha ha… Ha ha…”

“Ines-sama and Chloe-sama, you both gave birth to healthy daughters.”

I heard that I could come in now, so I went in, but what should I say… The sight is a little strange…? Bewildered touching?

The room is filled with a fishy smell, but the bed and floor the two are lying on are very clean in contrast to that fishy smell. A few hours ago, the attendants went in with bedding, so I did something at that time, but was this the reason?

The exhausted two are lying on the bed with their eyes closed as if they don’t even have the energy to open their eyes. The baby, who had been crying vigorously until recently, is now breathing comfortably while feeling the mother’s body temperature.

I was a bit surprised when I first saw her because her face was so wrinkled, but since she said she was my child, even that wrinkled skin started to look a little lovely. Is this infidelity?

“Haa… Haaa— huh?!”

“Again… What is this— Ugh?!”

At that time, Chloe, who barely opened her eyes, saw me in the room and made a cute noise in surprise. Ines, who heard that, frowned and opened her eyes, then showed a reaction similar to Chloe’s in surprise.

Looking at their reactions, it seems that the attendant did not tell them that I was coming. For some reason, the door was quietly opened.

“Are you okay?”

“Guys, you can’t come…”

“It’s over now.”

“Yeah…But…”

“Uh uh uh, don’t get up. Rest, rest. Don’t forcefully lift your back. You too, Ines.”

“Yes, yes yes…”

It was a great surprise to be able to see the reactions of the cute two, but when they suddenly tried to get up from the bed to greet me, I freaked out and stopped them.

Seriously, why do you go so far with a subject that you’re so exhausted that you didn’t even notice me coming in?

“When can we start eating?”

“Both of you are having an easy delivery, so you should be able to eat it from tonight. Of course, you should avoid hard solids, and until then, you should keep lying down and resting.”

“Thank you, this is a payoff.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Of course, in this day and age, a mother who has had many children is better than a doctor.

The other attendants who served as assistants complained greatly about the sterilization of the whole body as if distilled, but the new mothers seemed to know from experience that cleaning the body was essential, so they washed their bodies without saying anything.

“And… Who came first?”

Until now, I had asked questions to the new mother as if in a normal conversation, but this time I lowered my voice so that Chloe and Ines couldn’t hear me.

Because of their personalities, the one who gave birth late might be greatly disappointed.

“Ines-sama’s child is faster.”

The mother-to-be also whispers to me in a quiet voice, as if she had noticed the intention of my question.

Inesra… I will of course treat you two and their children fairly, and I will try to make sure that the two daughters get along well with each other, but in terms of official status, Ines clearly has a higher rank than Chloe.

If the age-based title and the status-related title were mixed, it would have received a lot of negative attention externally, so you should consider it fortunate that the two titles could be unified—- no.

‘…What am I doing?’

I can’t believe I’m already calculating my profit and loss on such a fine day.

I should just forget everything and enjoy the moment.

“…Do you guys have any names in mind beforehand?”

“As you wish…”

“No, we need to discuss the name with each other.”

I avoid naming people who have been criticized a lot in history, but since there aren’t any rebels, there are no specific rules for naming names.

Isn’t it a bit like naming your child by yourself?

“Yes…? But naming children is the right of the monarch—”

“Ines, I don’t think of myself as a monarch, but as an ordinary Westerner.”

To be honest, I’m a little disappointed that you’re trying to treat me as your lord rather than family.

“Ouch… Yes, yes yes…”

‘…What?’

Sorry, I tried to say it a bit strongly, but somehow Ines’ reaction was a little strange.

It seems a bit intimidated, but strangely happy… What is it, why?

“Keuhmm…Brother.”

“Huh?”

Then suddenly Chloe calls me. Even though he is in a state of great exhaustion, it is clear that there is a slight displeasure mixed in his voice.

Looks like I hated talking to Ines quite a bit.

It’s worth it, I’m going to have a hard time giving birth to a child, but if her husband is hanging out with another woman, I’ll be twisted.

…How did this happen?

I’ve already done it, but if you look at me objectively… Whew.

“I want our daughter’s name to be similar to ours. Clovis, Clech… Something like that.”

Leaving me feeling slightly bitter inside, Chloe continues to say what she wants to say.

Hmm… I guess I should say it’s like Chloe. I can very well feel that she wants to pass on the names Claude and Chloe that her mother gave us to her children.

“Uh, uh… I… I mean… I want my daughter’s name to have the Laurel family coat of arms lily.”

Following that, Ines, who was flustered because Chloe hit her, says what she is thinking.

As expected, Ines is noble. It is implicitly felt that he wants to boast about the union of the Burgundians and the Laurels.

I see a lot of difference in values even in these small details.

“Then how about Claudia for Chloe’s daughter after each other, and Liliane for Ines’ daughter after combining Anne with Lily?”

I wonder if the name is simple for a royalty, but… Well, that’s fine.

On the contrary, if it is too old-fashioned, it will be awkward when calling your daughter. This one is cuter, so it looks much better.

“Yes!!”

“Good, good…”

Fortunately, the two seem to like it very much.

Chloe replies with a broad smile, happy that her bond with me has grown stronger, and Ines replies shyly, blushing with joy that her request has been fulfilled.

All of them are so lovable that no one can be superior or inferior. To the extent that I would have hugged her involuntarily if my body had been fine.

“Your Majesty, another attendant is watching.”

“Kuh, keuh…! Yeah. I’m glad you guys are happy too.”

Eight, it was a good time.

…………

“Haaa…”

Since a new life has been born, it is definitely something to be blessed. No matter how bad the bowl on the mother’s side was.

Still, I can’t help but feel a little regretful.

‘No, it would be a sin to have such a jealous heart. Above all, the turbidity of the two of them has decreased a lot, right?’

Until a few months ago, it was very inconvenient to go near the two of them because of the stinging smell, but these days the smell has greatly diminished.

Even when I saw her a few times while working as a maid, the disgusting energy that radiated from the two bodies did not completely disappear, but it was very blurred. It was as if muddy mud had been washed away by running water and had become very thin.

If it was an incident where the two of them, who were so evil, would get better… After all, there would be nothing but pregnancy, right?

‘Ugh…’

During the winter, I tried to appeal to the Holy Son in many ways using my position as a maid, but all I got back was a shy smile.

I will be going to college soon, so I will have less time to work at the castle, and if that happens, I will have no choice but to meet the saint…

Seeing that he has two women, he doesn’t feel any pressure at all, but why the hell doesn’t he have that kind of heart for me? Do I look ugly in the eyes of the Holy Son?

Now that it has come to this, I’d rather imitate Chloe and serve the saint—- No, this is not okay. A relationship without consent is a sin.

“You’re busy, where have you been!?”

‘What is it?’

Jeanne, lost in thought while cleaning, suddenly hears a loud noise next to her and shifts her attention.

She sees a servant who has just opened the door and is very angry with another servant who has just entered.

“Huh? Everyone’s busy since the queen gave birth. I needed to bring a new blanket to the delivery room, but there was no person in charge, so I tried to take care of things first and get approval later.”

“If there’s no person in charge, shouldn’t I talk to someone else before going!?”

“Uh… That’s right.”

“Eh, it’s urgent, so I’ll take care of it. Next time, no matter how urgent it is, tell it and go. If there’s no person in charge, even to someone else.”

“Sorry, I will.”

‘Post… Consent?’

While cleaning her, Jeanne stares at the situation around her and catches a word in the noisy situation.

Post-acceptance.

When you absolutely can’t afford to get approval, deal with urgent matters first and then get permission later.

A relationship without consent is clearly a sin.

But… It doesn’t matter at all if you get consent after intercourse, doesn’t it?

Come to think of it, Chloe also received posthumous approval in this way, she said.

Yes, this is it.

The correct answer was this.

“…Good.”

I want to attack right now, but today is the day my baby was born, so I can’t.

No matter how premised on receiving consent after the fact, on a day like this, you will feel guilty, so you will surely resist desperately. If so, it’s best to start planning now and pick the right day to get things done.

Aiming for the time when the saint is unguarded in everyday life… You must attack like a hawk in the sky that snatches a rabbit.

‘About one month until the university opens.’

Once you enter university, the chance to contact the Holy Son in everyday life will be greatly reduced.

You have to see the end before that.
