Time passed quickly.
When Anastasia’s delivery was imminent, gifts celebrating her pregnancy poured in from all corners, filling the imperial palace warehouse to overflowing.
The labor pains came suddenly and continued for several hours.
Kai put aside all his duties and stayed by his wife’s side as she struggled through the painful ordeal.
How much time had passed like this?
“Wah! Wah!”
The baby’s loud cries noisily shook the room.
The midwife who delivered the child exclaimed in an emotional voice.
“Y-Your Highness is a princess!”
The midwife handed the newborn to Anastasia.
Anastasia, dazed, cradled the baby in her arms.
“Kasha. Let’s name her Kasha. Take the first letter of your name and the first letter of mine—Kasha.”
At Anastasia’s words, Kai nodded.
“Mm.”
[This is the timeline separator]Kasha grew rapidly, day by day.
Their daughter, who looked exactly half like Anastasia and half like Kai, was extremely beautiful.
Soft down covered her head, and silver hair—just like Anastasia’s—sprouted all over, while her eyes, like Kai’s, were red.
When Anderson saw Kasha successfully roll over, he excitedly proposed again that the day be declared a national holiday.
Kai nearly approved it, saying it was a good idea, but Anastasia barely managed to stop him.
“You already made the day Kasha was born a national holiday. Isn’t it going too far to make the day she rolled over into a holiday too?”
“…Is it too much? I don’t think it’s excessive at all.”
Anastasia was baffled by Kai’s utterly serious tone.
“When you act like this, I can’t tell who the child is. Both you and Sir Anderson seem like children.”
Anastasia glared at her husband standing before her, her brows furrowed.
Unaware of the tension, Kasha saw Kai and giggled, reaching out her tiny hands to be held.
Kai felt his heart swell with emotion as he pulled Kasha into his arms.
Seeing Kai smile gently at their daughter, Anastasia’s anger melted away like snow.
Then—
A quarreling noise came from the corridor, and suddenly a man barged into the room where the three were gathered.
“Uncle has arrived! Your Highness the Princess!”
The man who entered with a booming voice was Balt.
When Balt appeared, Kai narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased.
“My daughter has no uncle. And since when does a high official of the imperial court barge into the princess’s chamber?”
“Come now, Your Majesty. I’ve brought a whole armful of gifts for Her Highness.”
Balt grinned broadly, revealing his teeth.
Then, he pulled something out from inside his coat.
In his large hand was a rattle shimmering in rainbow colors.
When Balt shook the rattle, Kasha giggled and stretched out her tiny hands toward it.
“Duke! Didn’t we say no entry here?! What if Her Highness gets startled?!”
Anderson, one of Kasha’s most devoted followers, stormed into the room.
Seeing Kasha enchanted by Balt’s rattle, Anderson wore an expression as if he had lost the world.
Then, refusing to be outdone, Anderson rummaged through his coat and pulled out his trump card.
This expensive pacifier, imported from the distant Seville Empire across the sea, had actually been meant for the princess’s birthday.
“Most noble and sacred Her Highness, this pacifier is known as the miraculous soothe—a device said to bring paradise even to a crying infant…”
Kai gently patted Kasha’s tiny back while glaring sharply at the two men.
Anastasia silently pressed her hand to her forehead.
She was the one who gave birth, yet she had no idea how many doting fanatics had gathered around her daughter.
“…I can’t even tell anymore.”
Anastasia shrugged her shoulders and turned away, clearly exasperated.
When her mother began to walk away, Kasha started whimpering as if she had never been laughing.
“Umma…!”
Anastasia’s eyes widened.
“Did you hear that? Kasha just called me ‘Umma’!”
Anastasia cried out in joy as she took Kasha from Kai’s arms.
Balt snorted in response.
“If I heard correctly, Her Highness said ‘Balt,’ not ‘Umma’?”
“Duke. Your hearing seems to be failing badly. Shall I send a physician to examine you?”
Anderson replied, shooting Balt a sharp look.
Anderson was a Marquis, one rank below Balt, who was a Duke, but he was also the advisor to Emperor Kai.
Therefore, there was little difference in status between the two.
“I wish both of you would stop doting on my daughter and just get married yourselves.”
At Kai’s remark, Balt coughed awkwardly.
“Your Majesty, unfortunately, there’s no one suitable for marriage. Who knows? Maybe when the princess grows up, I’ll take her…”
“Have you completely lost your mind?!”
Anderson jumped in shock and blurted out a curse.
Anastasia gently covered Kasha’s ears with both hands and whispered.
“Kasha, you should only see and hear good things. Understand?”
“Umma.”
When Anastasia kissed Kasha’s cheek, Kasha beamed with delight, giggling sweetly.
It was such an adorable smile that even the murderous intent Kai felt toward Balt—daring to covet his daughter—vanished completely.
Anastasia looked at her daughter and softly murmured.
“I love you, Kasha.”
[This is the timeline separator]Kasha grew up surrounded by abundant love from many people.
Anastasia and Kai watched their daughter’s growth from the closest distance possible.
From leaving the cradle, to taking her first steps, to becoming an adult, and finally meeting a man she liked and getting married.
The man Kasha brought home, saying she liked him, was none other than Balt’s nephew.
Kai was at least relieved that the man his daughter brought as a marriage prospect wasn’t Balt himself.
They had been quite worried, given how close Kasha had been with Balt since she was little.
‘What’s wrong with that guy that he won’t get married?’
Kai frowned uncomfortably.
Balt seemed more interested in building muscle.
Despite being of a certain age, Balt’s physique remained massive.
Kai had heard there were quite a few women pursuing him, yet he remained unmarried. Once, Kai had asked if there was some special reason.
—There’s simply no woman I’d trust to take responsibility for the first half of my life.
That was the straightforward answer he got.
—And besides, if I really did covet the Emperor’s daughter, my head would roll.
Balt added with a hearty laugh. Fortunately, the man still had some conscience.
—Not just because he’s my nephew, but Twain is truly a good fellow. From the Portman family, known for their coarse speech, how did such a gentle young man come about?
Twain Portman.
That was the name of the young man Kasha brought home as her marriage prospect.
Twain, muscular and handsome—perhaps resembling Balt—had remarkably clear, bright eyes.
Still, Kai was uneasy about the fact that he was Balt’s nephew.
‘They say they’re four years apart in age. Better keep a closer eye on things for a while.’
Kai and Anastasia carefully observed for a long time whether this young man, Twain, could truly make Kasha happy.
After thorough observation, Twain proved to be a good person.
He had a decent sense of humor and would playfully pretend to be utterly smitten whenever Kasha spoke.
Unlike Balt, who had a coarse tongue, he never swore and deeply respected everything Kasha said.
Once they confirmed that Twain, the man Kasha had chosen, was indeed a fine man, they realized it was time for them to step back.
Still worried, they remained for a while in a palace within the imperial garden, even after passing the throne to Kasha, answering her whenever she came seeking advice.
Only when Kasha, now a full-fledged Emperor, no longer came to them for counsel did they finally set out on their journey with peace of mind.
Decades passed, and Anderson passed away first.
Popo, who had found a partner she liked, passed away not long after Anderson, leaving behind children.
It was only when their hair had turned completely white that Kai and Anastasia began traveling to various places.
Yet, they had no regrets about the path they had walked.
They had done their very best.
“Where shall we go first?”
At Anastasia’s excited voice, Kai smiled gently and replied.
“Anywhere you wish to go.”
“Then let’s just go wherever our feet take us. Even though you’re old, your swordsmanship is still decent, right?”
“Mm. Decent enough to protect you.”
At his sturdy words, Anastasia laughed brightly.
Though their hair had turned white and they had become elderly, one thing never changed.
It was their unwavering trust and love for each other.
The sun, emerging from between the clouds, brightly illuminated the two walking side by side.
Wherever they went, the two would be together forever.
Just as they had always been.
