220 – 78. Becoming a Parent (3)

An additional bed was added to Judah and Elijah’s bedroom.

This is a baby bed given as a gift by Richard and Beninita.

It was very small, placed right next to the two people’s bed.

In Elijah’s opinion, Judah is so small that there is not enough space even if the size of Judah is reduced by 1/4.

In other words, it means that the person using the bed is as small and lovely as its size.

Soft blanket.

A baby bed blocked on all sides by yellow iron bars.

Judah and Elijah spent time looking at the bed together every day.

“It’s cute….”

A child sleeping soundly.

A child who will be called love.

Daughter of Judah and Elijah.

She loses track of time just by looking at Amor.

It was the daily routine of two people who gave up their work.

“How can it be so cute?”

About 2 weeks after birth.

The two fell in love with Amor.

Even when she was red and wrinkled for the first three days after her birth, she was absolutely adorable.

But after about two weeks, her reddish-brown color disappeared.

Her skin became brighter, and the small wrinkles became plump.

She was becoming more lovely as each day passed.

“So….”

Judas muttered blankly.

Those round cheeks that look like they’re about to explode.

It’s like soft tofu.

Even her sparse black hair is cute.

‘She’s a daughter…’ .’

Daughter of herself and Elijah.

I opened my eyes properly a week ago, and they were red, just like Elijah’s.

Her eyesight hasn’t fully recovered yet, so her blank eyes are so cute.

‘I’m sure he will grow up to be cute and pretty, just like Elijah…’ .’

I felt depressed for a moment.

Elijah immediately noticed the change in him.

“Judas? Why is your expression like that? Are you sick?”

“… No. Just. Amordo, when she grows up, she will try to distance herself from me, her father, and she will have a lover…. Thinking like that just makes me depressed….”

“… ….”

What is she imagining about her two-week old child?

Elijah chuckled.

It was absurd, but she didn’t dislike his excessive worry.

This means that she cares for Amor that much.

“That’s natural.”

“There is no need for such a natural thing…” .”

His gloomy expression soon became hard and solemn.

“Just see what kind of guy he is. “It won’t be easy.”

“… ….”

Protecting this lovely daughter was his duty as a father.

I can do anything for Amor.

He decided that she had to go through a rigorous screening process.

“If you want to have a relationship with Amor, you have to fight and win against me, who is heavily armed.”

“… “When did those conditions arise?”

“Just now.”

“That’s right….”

Elijah decided to freely guarantee his companion’s love for his unique daughter.

Well.

It’s not that she doesn’t understand his reaction.

‘I can understand the expression that it doesn’t hurt even if you put it in your eye.’

As much as Amor is like that, she may not want Amor to have a man.

‘Because there are not only good men like Judah in the world….’

The more Elijah thought about it, the more he agreed with Judah’s opinion.

‘You don’t have to beat me, but I think you have to judge me severely.’

It was embarrassing to tell Judas, so I decided to do it to myself first.

“Mueng.”

The dust cooed at my feet.

“Dust. Come on.”

Judas picked up the dust and carefully placed it on the baby’s bed frame.

“I missed you even in the dust.”

As they shared the same room, even the dust was aware of Amor’s presence.

He showed curiosity from the beginning and participated in quietly watching Amor.

Sometimes I glance at Amor who is sleeping alone.

Like watching a baby sleep well.

“May said that cats are animals that co-parent. “Do you think he treats me like his own child?”

“Teaching a little about the map.”

Judas grinned and patted the dust.

The kitten, which was as small as the palm of your hand when I first brought it home, has grown significantly in just one year.

It’s still small, but it’s bigger than Amor, who was 2 weeks old.

“Now that I think about it, I’ve cried less since I had Amor. “Hasn’t the frequency of running around at night decreased?”

“Wow. That’s right. “I guess you really think that.”

“Thank you. Guy.”

Judas patted the dust and then squeezed her cheek to stretch it.

The dust caught on her cheeks whined.

“Muaieng-.”

Judas giggled and let go of her hand.

“Okay, I’ll stop.”

She patted her dusty butt to soothe, and looked into a corner of her room.

There is a pile of gifts from the Royal Guard and Galahad.

From teddy bears that are 10 times bigger than Amor, cute mobiles, bundles of storybooks, various things.

“I’m not old enough to use it yet, so why did everyone send it away so hastily…? .”

Elijah laughed as he saw Judah shaking her head.

“But it seems like everyone sincerely congratulates me.”

“That’s right. Everyone was so excited about the news that it was a daughter. If others saw it, they would think they had a child.”

She speaks grumblingly sometimes, but Elijah knows.

How much Judas cherishes her fellow guardsmen.

Conversely, how much the Royal Guard values and respects Judas.

Elijah acknowledged quite a long time ago that they are good people.

“I guess because Judah is a good person, good people gather around him.”

He was embarrassed by the compliment, but then he grinned.

“Among them, the best person is closest?”

“… ….”

Elijah was silent for a moment.

He is a good person.

I know how Judah views himself.

Like, cherish, respect.

But this was the first time I heard the expression ‘good person’.

It’s unfamiliar, but I don’t hate it.

Judah smiled brightly at him.

“Wow. Of course.”

As I looked at Amor sleeping peacefully again, someone knocked on the door.

A sound so small that one cannot hear it or not.

Ever since Amor was created, everyone who visits knocks gently on the door.

When Judas opened the door, the person who came was Mary.

Maria also often comes to see Amor.

“Ah, mother-in-law. Welcome.”

“Okay. “Is Amor sleeping?”

“Yes.”

“I guess I should be quiet.”

I knew it from the moment Judah lowered his voice.

Mary walked quietly and said hello to Elijah, then she looked down at the bed.

A melting smile immediately spread across my face.

“Oh my…. “You’re sleeping well.”

“But is it okay to just sleep like this?”

“Kids are like that. “Ellie, you also slept all day as a baby.”

Besides, Judah imagined Elijah as a baby.

She wasn’t drawn well.

‘I guess it’s similar to Amor.’

Then it’s clear that it’s lovely.

‘… In other words, when Amor grows up, doesn’t she become like Elijah?’

In order to meet the man who will meet Amor in the future, Judah decided to increase her training even more.

At that time, Amor slowly opened his eyes.

Red eyes that look exactly like Elijah.

It’s shiny, but it’s out of focus, so it’s somewhat blinding.

“Amor? Hungry? “Would you like to give it to me?”

Elijah asked, lowering her head.

Then Amor is quiet for a while, and then she makes a gurgling sound.

The sound of whining but not crying.

“I didn’t poop…” .”

You don’t know how to speak, so if you want something, you have to guess and interpret it yourself.

Hungry seemed to be the right answer.

Amor regained her stability as Elijah nursed her.

“Hmm….”

She was not without worries about Judah and Elijah, who had such lovely daughters.

“Amor doesn’t cry at all…” .”

That’s right, babies don’t cry.

You know, babies have to cry.

Even if it makes things difficult for her parents.

However, Judah and Elijah have never heard Amor cry, except right after giving birth.

This is also one of the reasons why I look at my bed all day.

Because they do not express themselves by crying out loud, you must always be on standby so that they can respond.

“Have you ever cried before?”

When Mary asked curiously, Elijah nodded.

“Yes. I make a fuss like I just did, or try to express something, but I’ve never cried. I wonder if there is some kind of problem….”

I was seriously worried.

It was the same with Judah.

Could it be that there is a problem with the ability to express or perceive something?

Even though she loved Amor, she sometimes became afraid.

In the midst of the seriousness, Maria quietly burst into laughter.

“Oh, I’m sorry. “Ellie, she looks so much the same as when she was younger, I couldn’t help but stop.”

“… I?”

“Okay. Do you know how much I was worried because Ellie never cried when she was a baby? What’s the problem? Otherwise, I should be able to figure out where she’s hurting. If there was something they wanted, it would have been better if they just cried quietly, but all they did was make a slight frown or stare. “Others said they were jealous, but I was actually frustrated.”

“… ….”

It matched exactly with Elijah’s current feelings.

People around people tend to envy children who are well-behaved.

She resembles herself, the emperor, and is solemn and calm.

When she was a baby she said it was a blessing.

It was difficult for both Elijah and Judah to agree.

No matter what, he is a newborn baby.

A being that cannot speak and ends up crying because it is difficult to express its thoughts.

Since such a baby did not cry at all, as her parents, we had no choice but to worry.

The question has just been answered.

Elijah was dumbfounded and asked again.

“I really did that… ?”

“Then of course. “Why would mom lie?”

Judah was beside her, stroking her face as she sighed in relief.

She did not ignore the possibility that she was not a big deal in the first place.

But since she thought that it was Amor who would be caught up in the problem, she could only imagine the worst case scenario.

It was difficult for her to shake off those imaginations, but she was relieved by Maria’s words.

“I heard he was quiet because he resembled Ellie…. “I really want it.”

As her worries disappeared, she even smiled.

Elijah gently patted Amor.

It was an instinct in her body that she needed to be patted on the back after feeding.

‘Because it resembles me…’ .’

Her black hair and red eyes.

It is not just a simple external feature.

This is a child with all his temper.

She felt good about that fact, and Elijah smiled happily.

Kongdak, Kongdak.

Amor’s small heart is pounding as his body touches hers.

It was a nice sound to hear.
