134 Episode 6 Nia Lukarios Before (1/2)

”You've done well, Sifanny. You're doing great.

”Yes, great.

Some time later, after Sifanny's pregnancy was discovered, it was told only to a few people in Hercule's family, such as Karolina and Lunalie.

The only other two people who knew about it were Todoris and Loukanos.

It will be made public in due course.

Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, Your Highness the Empress, Your Highness the Lunary.

Cifany smiled happily.

Since only High Elves could succeed to the position of Emperor, Cifanie's child would never be a rival to Carolina's child, and the same was true for Lunalie, who would give birth to the next King of Hayastan, the two of them would never be hostile to Cifanie.

The fact that there are other women in the world besides them is a new story.

”Well, take a break for a while. You can work again after the baby is born. What's important now is to have the baby safely.

”Yes, I understand. But, you know, ......

I'll come see you when I can. Don't worry.

Yes!

Hercule patted Cifanie on the head.

In the event that you're in the market for a brand new pair of shoes, you'll be able to find a great deal of options.

And by the way, Your Majesty ......, which would you prefer, a boy or a girl?

Isn't it a bit early to be asking?

Hercule smiles bitterly.

If you're not sure what to do, you can always ask your doctor.

I guess this is the difference in consciousness between a man who just conceives and a woman who has a life in her belly.

I think the model answer is ......, but to be honest, I think it's a girl.

”Why?

If it's a boy, he'll have trouble finding a job. If it's a girl, she'll have plenty of places to marry, so it won't be a problem.

Hercule has no intention of supporting a waste of food just because it's his child.

She needs to be a bureaucrat or a soldier.

But there are limited posts.

Whether he can rise to the top depends on the boy's ability.

If he's good, he's good. If he's mediocre, he's mediocre.

It's hard when people expect a lot from you just because you're his son.

Lunalie agreed with Hercule.

Parents and children do not always have the same abilities.

There are cases where a steeplejack gives birth to a hawk, and there are cases where a hawk gives birth to a steeplejack.

Hercule is definitely a hawk.

There is no one better than Hercule.

I wish I could be as good as Sir Edmund Erdemort.

Karolina muttered.

Edmund, as you know, is Hercule's half-brother, the son of Hadrian and a concubine.

He is currently supporting Hercule's regime as a soldier.

If a child like Edmond is born, it will help Karolina's future child, the next emperor, so Karolina is probably hoping for the best.

I'm sure you're right. ...... But your father didn't have a very high reputation to begin with. I'm sure Edmond would have taken it easy, not being expected to do so much. I'm not trying to be ...... smug, but I do have a reputation to uphold.

The emperor's son!

I'm not going to get carried away.

I'm not going to flatter myself.　As a concubine. You could marry her off to a foreign country. We'll have Kuro Sticks, Fullerlings, Foulls, you name it.

If you're a girl, you can live happily even if you're a little stupid because you still have a permanent job called marriage.

As long as you don't have a bad face - although you will definitely be a beautiful woman since you are the child of Hercule and Ciphany - you will be branded as the child of Hercule, so you will be in great demand.

But there's no need to get worked up. I just want her to be born safely. It's my first child.

”Yes.

Sifanny nodded.

You can't tell if it's a boy or a girl until it's born.

The devil will laugh if you worry about it before your belly is full.

In the culture of the Lemurian Empire, would that make me a demon instead of a demon?

In fact, since a while ago, Asmodeus and Citri have been laughing in a voice that only Hercule can hear, saying, ”It's really funny that the master is your father.

Hercule decided to give them a good beating this evening.

”Your Majesty, I want it as soon as possible.

”Don't be hasty. Don't be in a hurry. You have a hundred years to live.

Hercule patted Karolina's head.

Karolina would like to have a boy as soon as possible, but when you can have a child, you can have a child, and when you cannot, you cannot have a child.

There was no point in getting defensive.

Well, I'm going to be quiet for another year, so I should be able to be there for the birth. At least, if some other country doesn't do anything unnecessary.

”So you're saying you're going to do something in a year?

”Sort of.

Hercule smiled and answered Lunalie's question.

Hercule intends to achieve his original goal.

It's a big project that will be finished within his reign no matter what.

It is time to punish him for what he has done.

Hercule smiled lecherously.
