Returning to the training center dormitory, Lucia hastily opened the door.
It didn’t take as long to persuade the emperor as she had expected, but the process of registering the child’s birth with him as a guarantor took quite a while.
“It’ll be interesting to see his reaction when he finds out the child he vouched for is a saintess.”
Unaware that she had deliberately let the birth registration slip in his presence, he had carelessly taken the bait.
She believed that even if the emperor was not heavily involved, he was responsible, as he had entangled her in the plan to seal the saintess before her regression.
The image of the emperor wrapped in fury afterwards made one corner of Lucia’s mouth rise.
As soon as Lucia arrived, she hurried to the bedroom where the child might be.
But the bedroom was empty.
The reception room too.
And the kitchen.
Recalling the voice of the child who was in the bathroom just before coming out, she was unable to find the child anywhere.
“Could it still be?”
When she opened the bathroom door, a child was standing dangerously at the edge of the slippery bathtub, reaching out as if desperately trying to grab something.
The child was startled by the suddenly opened door and the presence, and finally lost footing.
Lucia quickly caught the child.
The child in her arms opened her tightly closed eyes and looked at Lucia.
The eyes were full of surprise, as if unable to believe that she hadn’t fallen to the floor.
As she carefully set the child down, Lucia said,
“Why are you still like this?”
“……Towel…….”
The child, huddled in the spot where she was set down, mumbled.
In a moment, her eyes turned to where the towels usually were.
“……Ah.”
The bathroom towels were placed on a shelf far out of reach for a child who was only half tall.
Moreover, the child was still naked, and the time was already half past noon.
If the saintess were an ordinary child, it would have been fine to have caught a cold by now.
Realizing her careless mistake, she felt the gaze of the child who was far away from her.
The child, looking at her feet, seemed anxious as if having committed a big wrongdoing when their eyes met.
Under Lucia’s feet, feathers and dirty waste were floating all over the floor, over the clogged bathroom drain.
And they were dirtying her shiny black boots as if she had jumped into a mud pile.
The child was still looking at Lucia with trembling pupils.
Apparently, the child seemed to mind that she had made this place dirty.
However,
“I should take off my shoes quickly.”
Unfortunately, Lucia did not realize the child’s inner thoughts.
After washing off the dirt, it’s natural for the dirt to fall off.
As she shook her shoes, the child finally couldn’t hold back the tears that were protruding, and began to sob pitifully.
It was a very sudden cry from her perspective.
Lucia was puzzled by the tears, whose reason she could not understand at all.
“Ah, that’s right. I should have given her a towel first.”
She hastily pulled out a towel at random and wrapped it around the child’s body.
But instead of stopping the cry, the child was getting farther and farther away.
Lucia blinked her eyes, looking at the child.
“……Isn’t this it? I’m sure I dried her off after washing.”
Recalling her memories, she had never lived on her own since she was a child.
As the daughter of a noble family during her growth period, and as a royal knight after severing ties.
Except for living on the battlefield, she had never lived without the help of a maid who always took care of her until she was over ninety.
So Lucia, with zero life skills except for the sword.
As she went over her life, a big question arose.
“……I’m raising a child?”
Lucia, who began to realize what she had done just one day after regressing.
She finally realized that this fate was a much harder path than all the achievements she had accomplished in her lifetime.

Lucia, dressed in her smallest blouse, a child.
The child is slumped over, sitting at the dining table.
Bread, meat, fruit, green lumps of grass.
Maybe it’s because it still retains its original form just grown from the grass lump, it can hardly be called food.
Though hungry, the child did not touch any of the food in front of them.
Lucia felt a bit frustrated as she watched the child.
She had saved the saint.
She had said she would become a mother.
But then.
Could this child really grow healthy before awakening, more than just an ordinary child?
Moreover, the most important reality, aside from the means of livelihood: ‘How much does it cost to raise a child?’
Looking back, in her previous life, she had never worried about money.
Without a penny, she had cut ties with her family and had enough to live as a maid with her monthly salary. Even after retiring early, she was wealthy with war rewards, so she even refused to manage the properties and territories handed down.
But now?
It’s been 9 years since she cut ties with her family, including a special 5year training period.

really disliked him
