Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 914



914 – Congratulations are congratulations and this is this – 1

My monumental tenth child and seventh daughter. At the same time, a troublemaker who made the whole family’s hearts sink as soon as she was born.

Fortunately, the youngest child, who was the protagonist of the incident that ended with only a bang, was named Florence.

‘Florence Nyard.’

And since his mother, Lize, was destined to become a noblewoman, her last name was Naiad, not Crassius.

Anyway, our daughter successfully evolved from ‘our sick youngest’ to ‘healthy Florence’. She was named after a person who was famous as a nurse in the world before Bing, so from now on, our daughter will not only be healthy herself, but will also take care of others.

With such a small hope, I gave her the name Florence as my father’s first gift. A child who had to be cared for by a nurse had a nurse’s name. The world is really unpredictable.

‘Is this also Jangsaeng’s grace?’

I looked at Jang-saeng, who was burying his head in the plate and inhaling the cookie.

Jang-saeng’s treatment of Florence will be kept a secret between Jang-saeng and I. I will tell you when the joy of Florence’s recovery has subsided─not as a secret, but as a secret between the two of us for the rest of our lives.

Of course, if it is revealed that Florence’s recovery was a miracle of Jang-saeng, Jang-saeng’s status in our family will skyrocket. He may even threaten Titi. To that extent, treating the illness of a newborn baby is an enormous achievement.

But if this story leaks out, the repercussions are unimaginable. Those who know that Jang Saeng-i is a former evil spirit will worry about Jang Saeng-i’s death, the medical community will be bothered by Jang Saeng-i, and our children…

“Jangsaeng! Jangsaeng made sure the youngest didn’t get sick!”

“Jang Saeng-i is a real guy! He’s amazing!”

“Our Jang-saeng is the best! Our youngest, Jang-saeng, is the best!”

“Ghhh! It’s okay if you don’t like it, but please let me go!”

‘hmm.’

It is clear that there will be a future where Jang-saeng will bite and suck more vigorously than usual.

It’s really strange. Even though it’s just something I imagined, it comes to mind so vividly, as if I saw and heard it myself. Maybe Jang-saeng in the parallel world suffered all kinds of pain because I didn’t keep quiet.

Thinking about it that way, I feel like I owed Jang-saeng a little bit of a favor. I don’t know about the me in the parallel world, but at least I kept my promise in this world.

“Jangsaeng! Here you go!”

“ah.”

‘ah.’

However, they only kept quiet about Jang Saeng-i’s miracle and did not stop the children from looking for Jang Saeng-i on their own.

If I suddenly actively protect Jang-saeng, that would be strange in its own way. Usually, I just watch whether the kids play with Jang-saeng or not. This is a good silence for Jang-saeng.

“Hey guys. Jangsaeng is eating snacks, so shall we play together later?”

“Okay! Let’s eat and play!”

“I see.”

However, I tried to dissuade him out of courtesy, and he immediately refuted me.

Our Friedrich. He is very intelligent, just like whom he resembles.

Well, if you play while eating, you don’t have to wait until you’ve finished eating. Besides, Jangsaeng doesn’t have a body that needs to use his hands or feet to eat. If he just carries something in his mouth and walks around, there won’t be any problems.

“Friedrich.”

Unfortunately for Friedrich, however, unlike his easily persuaded father, he had a mother who was quite strict about manners.

“When you eat, you must sit still and eat. No matter how much you want to play, you cannot walk around while eating. Do you understand?”

Mar approached with brisk steps upon hearing Friedrich’s voice.

Soon, Mar crouched down to Friedrich’s eye level and stopped him with a firm look and voice.

‘As expected, in charge of etiquette.’

It was such a heartwarming sight that the corners of my mouth went up involuntarily.

As the youngest daughter of the Marga Duke family, she has a unique experience in thoroughly controlling every action and word she says, and she acts as a teacher of manners to all the children.

“Wooow…”

Perhaps that is why Friedrich, whose eyes sparkled, was at a loss when faced with Marr’s restraint.

But it’s fortunate that she only flinches when she’s being criticized, and that she usually follows me around and calls me “Mom Mar.” If the kids were afraid of Mar and were reluctant to do so, I would have taken up the gun and instilled manners in them.

I can’t guarantee the effectiveness of the education, but if I have to be hated, shouldn’t I be the one to receive it?

“Instead, it’s okay to eat with Jang-saeng. You eat next to me, and then you play after you’re done eating?”

“Whoosh!”

I looked at Marwa, who was smiling faintly, and Friedrich, who was answering brightly, and then turned my gaze.

This banquet was a banquet to celebrate Florence’s birth and recovery. Even the attendees were only our family and the Nayard family. Thanks to this, Lize, holding Florence in her arms, stood proudly in the center of the banquet hall.

Naturally, at this moment, even the best swordsman on the continent, the magic sword, and Valenti’s treasure have no power. Because no one is more important than Lize and Florence.

‘It looks good.’

This time, I was more than just happy; I was also touched.

Until just a few days ago, it was a place filled with only gloom, despair, and self-reproach. The mother and daughter even suffered the pain of being forced to separate for the sake of their daughter’s health.

But what about now? Lize, who was standing among her family, her retainers, and her servants, was smiling brightly, and Florence, who was wriggling in Lize’s arms, was far from showing any negative emotions. She looked as lively and happy as our family usually is.

‘Can I keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life?’

I was troubled as I watched Jang-saeng-i, who seemed to want to play with Friedrich as late as possible, eating noticeably slower.

At that moment, I felt a surge of desire to lift Jang-saeng, thinking, ‘This guy is the hero who cured our youngest!’ It was a very weak desire, so I quickly suppressed it, but if this desire becomes a daily occurrence, I may end up giving in to it someday.

It’s really a difficult situation. I don’t want to repay the credit for curing Florence with someone else.

“Abba?”

“master.”

I caressed Jang-saeng and Friedrich without thinking.

“After you eat, should I play with you?”

“Okay! Okay!”

“Let’s do that.”

They both nodded and agreed with what I said.

Friedrich can play with his dad too. Jangsaeng doesn’t have to take care of Friedrich + @’s children by himself.

‘I’ll try my best.’

I made a resolution in my heart at the sight of Jangsaeng-i wagging his short tail quickly.

Let’s keep quiet as much as possible. I can’t guarantee how long it will last, but we should try…

***

The count fled with his family to the Barony of Atigny.

Even though the gate is blocked, there is a large crowd praying in front of the mansion. Even if I were a count, I would have wanted to get away for a while. I don’t intend to make fun of it as a cowardly and ugly escape.

Besides, the place of refuge is one of the wife’s relatives. It is also the hometown of the third wife who is due to give birth, so there is ample reason to visit.

[ The seventh daughter of Count Tylglehen is born. She was diagnosed with a heart problem, but miraculously recovered. The medical team unanimously declared that it was a miracle of God. ]

‘Ugh.’

While I was working and waiting for the count to return when the time came, news that made my heart sink and news that made me sigh in relief came at the same time.

A newborn baby with a heart problem. What a terrible and sad thing. If I were a count, I would feel like the sky was falling.

And soon after, the pain the child had been feeling disappeared. The words, truly a blessing from God and a miracle, will naturally come to mind.

‘What a blessing.’

He put down the report from the Imperial Household Ministry and sighed.

I am truly grateful. As a father of three children, I do not wish for other fathers to despair. As the Count’s master, I do not wish for the Count to be shaken.

Even the crown princess and the prince, and gradually the princess, are treating the count’s children like siblings. If she heard that the youngest child was sick, wouldn’t she burst into tears? Thinking about it makes my blood run cold.

‘I hope it works out well.’

Of course, it was a future that would never come as the Count’s youngest daughter, Florence, recovered.

‘…a miracle of God.’

After the tension eased, I burst out laughing.

It is true that the Count is an adult. He was born with a disease before he was canonized, but seeing that the disease disappeared immediately after birth, it is true that God is protecting him.

I wish I had been born healthy from the start, but God has his own circumstances. Even if the process was a bit complicated, the result was good, so let’s not worry too much about it.

‘The Miracle of the Holy Sword.’

Anyway, the person I need to focus on is ‘the daughter of an adult who overcame her illness in an instant.’

From noble mtl dot com

Following the unusual event of a man ascending to the throne while still alive, this is proof that the man is actually under the protection of God.

‘I didn’t know you’d give me an excuse like this.’

It is satisfying. In fact, a grand service was planned to be held in the name of the Archdiocese of Ausen to celebrate the count’s ascension to the throne.

Naturally, the worship service was supported by the royal family’s wealth, and the Archbishop of Ausen is also enthusiastic about conducting a perfect worship service. Which priest would be indifferent when he is holding a worship service for a living saint in the archdiocese where he resides?

In such a situation, a rumor spreads that the count’s daughter had overcome her illness through a miracle of God? The fervor of worship burns even more, the fame of Saint Charles grows even higher, and the authority of the empire and royal family that produced and supported the saint also rises.

I’m going to be an emperor who can even handle adults.

‘It feels like I’m selling an innocent child.’

The only thing that bothers me is that it’s not the count himself but his daughter who’s at stake, but that’s an inevitable problem.

The priests, magicians, and doctors who helped the countess give birth are already going around talking about it with their eyes rolled back. It is no wonder that they are talking as lightly as feathers, having witnessed the miracle of God.

If you can’t stop the wave, it’s better to ride it. I’m sure the Count will understand. This is a rumor that even the Emperor’s power can’t stop.

‘Didn’t you say that a new archbishop was coming around the time of the service?’

By the way, a day or two before the service for St. Charles was held, the Diocese said they would send a new Archbishop of Ausen.

There is a sense of urgency in sending the messenger due to the sudden absence of the Archbishop, but I am both excited and worried about who will come. Cardinal Lisiuko was a good speaker.
