Even so, several decades had passed without the appearance of a being who had contracted with a highlevel spirit.
Therefore, as an empire that had to eliminate remnants of other kingdoms and demons that periodically threatened the continent, the existence of spirit mages was direly needed.
All such political situations aside, since Elysia herself was a courtexclusive spirit mage who had contracted with a mediumgrade water spirit, nothing would be more joyful for her than if her child was born loved by spirits.
In the dawn of that day, Hugo, whispered and read a fairy tale book featuring a strong and brave princess to Elysia’s belly who had fallen back into deep sleep.
Throughout the night, while saying it was a secret from the mother.
Count Hugo who was solely concerned about a healthy daughter, did not care about blessings from the spirits.
Countess Elysia who did not care about gender as long as the child was born under the love of spirits.
After a night filled with different hopes passed, the quiet morning star was rising.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Thump thump thump.
Whoosh.
Thump thump thump.
Whoosh.
The second prince of the Artina family, Cedric von Artina, unusually looked at his father, the only duke of the empire, who was pacing restlessly back and forth, with a very disrespectful eye.
“Father, please sit down. Mother and the baby will be safe.”
“I refuse.”
Although Cedric suggested Hugo to sit down, Hugo flatly refused.
No, father… It’s because I’m restless…!
Cedric, sighing, turned his gaze towards the tightly closed delivery room. He fully understood his father’s feelings.
After about seven hours since Elysia, feeling labor pains, entered the delivery room on the second floor of the spacious mansion, it was already evening, and the full moon was up.
Yet, there were no signs of hearing the baby’s crying, only Elysia’s painfilled screams and groans echoed in the corridor occasionally.
So, Hugo, in case something happened to his wife, or the baby,
Walked from one end of the corridor filled with all sorts of expensive paintings and statues to the other, and then back again, repeating this useless action for a whopping seven hours.
‘Both my elder brother and the baby to be born should be safe. I wonder if my father is worried about my brother.’
Cedric tried hard to distract his mind from the nagging unease.
While thinking about his older brother who unfortunately could not be present at the birth of the sibling and had left for the north.
Cedric’s brother, Arkan, is the eldest and the successor of the Artina family.
Despite being only nine years old, he accompanied an expedition to subjugate demons in the north for observation and participation.
Elysia and Cedric had strongly argued that it wasn’t necessary so early, but Arkan had left for his father’s office, leaving behind a memorable quote, “It is my duty as the rightful successor of the Artina Duke family.”
Hugo, who they thought would object, agreed without hesitation that it was not too early to embark at nine, but it was perfect to observe a minor subjugation led by the reliable knights of the Artina family and sent Arkan to the north.
Cedric could not understand his brother’s mindset, or his father’s.
Isn’t nine years old an age to happily eat, sleep, and play?
He knew that his brother, who was exactly like his father, had an unbelievable martial skill for his age and a relatively tall frame.
However, Cedric couldn’t help but be anxious about his sibling who had always been with him from birth leaving for war.
Especially since there has been no contact until today, the day his mother was giving birth to their sibling, Cedric was constantly worried about Arkan.
Just as Cedric’s thoughts shifted from worrying about his mother and sibling to worrying about his brother,
Waaaah!!!
A strong baby’s cry penetrated the thick door of the delivery room and echoed in the corridor.
Cedric was surprised and shouted out.
“The sound of crying, it’s that of a great general!!”
Hugo, who had been lingering, his steps reaching the opposite end of the hallway, used his excellent physical ability to rush to the delivery room in a flash.
Kyeeek
The door of the delivery room opened, and Elysia’s personal maid and a few other maids who had been assisting with the delivery walked out, wiping their hands with handkerchiefs.
Hugo rushed in joyously, pouring out questions like a machine gun.
“Is the lady safe? What about the baby? Are all limbs attached? Is the important part there or not?”
Huh? Important part……? I think I misheard……
The maid, momentarily taken aback by the question about the ‘important part’, quickly recalled how much the duke desired a daughter, and answered with a smile on her face.
“Both the madam and the baby are safe. A very healthy princess has been born. Congratulations, master.”
“The baby girl looks exactly like the madam, very beautiful. Congratulations, master.”
“What did you say……?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
