The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 222



79. Parents and children are each other’s mirrors (1)

Amor said.

“mom!”

Although it was still awkward compared to an adult’s pronunciation, it was definitely ‘speech’.

Expressing one’s intentions through one’s voice.

Clear language. Words.

“Oh, Mom…?”

Elijah repeated the words with trembling hands.

I couldn’t believe it.

I feel like I misheard.

Amor has mumbled a word similar to ‘Mom’ before.

Especially when you’re hungry.

But today, it was the first time that she looked straight at herself and called her ‘Mom’.

Judas, who had been a step away, also quickly came closer and joined him.

“Ah, Amor. What did you just say?”

Amor looked blankly at Judah and Elijah, then spoke again.

“mom!”

Elijah carefully lifted Amor and hugged him tightly.

A little warmth entered my arms.

It’s so precious.

After a long pause, my mouth finally fell open.

“That’s right… I’m Amor’s mom.”

Those words sound like a promise.

Amor smiled and spoke again, holding her in his arms.

It was as if it was strange that Elijah reacted to what he said for the first time.

“mom!”

Then Elijah hugged Amor tighter.

My daughter’s face touching my cheek is so warm.

It’s so cute it’s harmful to the heart.

“Yeah. Okay, Mom is here.”

Elijah held Amor in his arms and stroked him.

Judas spoke cautiously.

“Me? Amor, me?”

Amor’s eyes met Elijah’s as he rested his face on his shoulder.

Bright red eyes, just like Elijah.

Amor stared at Judah intently and then opened his mouth.

“…mom?”

“Okay. Starting today, I’m a mother too.”

“No. I’m the mother.”

“Ugh…! If only I had milk too….”

“… Even if you come out, it won’t work.”

After that, Amor kept repeating, “Mom, Mom.”

It seemed amusing to see Judah and Elijah react to the first language they had ever uttered.

“mom!”

“Yeah, yeah. That’s right.”

It’s a new feeling every time I hear it.

Elijah thought as he stroked Amor and hugged him tightly.

‘I have to write about today in my diary.’

Since giving birth to Amor, Elijah has been keeping a parenting diary.

Whenever something special happened, I wrote a brief note.

Today is the first time I was called ‘Mom’.

It was enough to write down the stars in my diary.

Judas spoke from the side.

“Amor. Dad, let’s try. Dad. Can you say it too? Amor is a genius, just like Ellie.”

“mom?”

“Not Mom, but Dad.”

“Bwaba?”

“Oh? It was kind of similar just now?”

Amor tilted his head and spoke again.

“Huh?”

“Just a little more….”

“mom!”

“… … .”

Judah smiled as he looked at his daughter who was shouting brightly.

“Yes. I am the mother.”

“no.”

“Anyway, our daughter is just like Ellie. She thinks that if she’s cute, anything is forgiven.”

“When did I… .”

“It’s true that if you’re cute, you’ll be forgiven.”

Judas smiled and patted Amor’s head.

A small head that fits in one hand.

The hair that has grown to the level of my ears is infinitely thin and soft.

“Well, I’ll call you dad someday. I won’t just call you mom my whole life.”

And that day came, not long after.

After completing his usual hellish training to prepare for the future, Judas washed up and returned to his bedroom.

Knock, knock on the door and as always, the door opens gently.

What he sees through the gap is his lovely wife.

Elijah greets with a smiling face.

“Are you here?”

And in her arms, she has a daughter who is just as lovely as she is.

At this moment, when the mother and daughter who look exactly like him greet him with smiles, Judah probably will never be able to adapt.

Because every day is new, fun and joyful.

Amor also opened his mouth with a smile, but the words that came out of his mouth surprised Judah.

“dad!”

“…!”

From noble mtl dot come

Elijah was also startled and looked down at Amor.

“Amor, what you just said, again… .”

“dad!”

Awkward yet sure pronunciation.

It was a call made while looking directly at Judah.

dad.

Judah immediately hugged Amor and Elijah together.

“Yeah… I’m the dad…!”

Elijah burst out laughing as he heard the somewhat tragic story.

“Oh my. Judas, are you crying?”

“… No.”

“You’ve become a crybaby.”

That was something Judah had said playfully to comfort her when she was crying.

“… I usually cry a lot when I have something to cry about. It’s not like I’m a crybaby.”

Elijah just laughed at the unconvincing excuse.

In the meantime, Amor was just happy to be hugged by Judah.

It seemed like he was really enjoying the way Judas reacted to his words.

“dad!”

“Yeah, yeah, that’s right, Dad.”

Looking at Judah smiling proudly, Elijah also smiled and thought.

I definitely have to write about today in my diary.

*

“Mom! Dad!”

Amor was now perfectly familiar with both words.

Although he would call out at random times, it was not a problem at all for the listener.

It’s a song that’s always nice to hear.

“Oh my, so pretty.”

Maria was delighted to see Amor chattering excitedly.

Elijah’s childhood came to mind.

It looks completely removed.

“How nice. You’re so cute.”

“That’s what I mean. When I call you mom, my heart starts pounding.”

Today, Judah and Elijah came to the palace of Queen Maria with Amor.

Maria sat Amor on her lap and said.

“When did you grow up so fast? Huh? You were so small when I first saw you.”

Currently, Amor understands only the most basic of words.

The references to Judah and Elijah as Mom and Dad, or calling one’s own name as ‘Amor’.

Other than that, the most I can do is say “Momma” when I’m hungry.

Amor, who did not understand Maria’s words, just stared blankly.

Those shining eyes made me smile just by looking at them.

“You’re so cute now that you’re chubby.”

Maria said, gently stroking her granddaughter.

“Grandma, can you do that too?”

Judas felt awkward about that word.

If we look at the genealogy, it’s my grandmother.

But Maria is quite young.

He and Elijah are currently 20 years old.

Maria is 38 years old.

Even just looking at her face, she is far from the stereotypical image of a ‘grandmother’ that has been ingrained in Judah’s mind.

The actions may be somewhat similar.

“Grandma, try it. Okay?”

“…?”

Amor just tilted his head.

When the word “Mom” first came out of Amor’s mouth, he went around calling everyone “Mom, Mom.”

Just like you did to Judas.

But now I definitely know how to differentiate between mom and dad, so I don’t call anyone randomly.

“Hami?”

At the short words, not only Mary, but also Judah and Elijah’s clowns rose up.

“Not Hammi, Grandma.”

“Hami?”

“Oh, no. I can’t help it. If Amor is going to be a hammy, then I have to be a hammy.”

“Hami!”

In the end, Maria also happily gave in to Amor’s cuteness.

As Amor seemed to want to go down, Maria carefully placed the child down on the sofa.

The large sofa for welcoming guests was almost as big as a bed, so Amor could roll around on it.

The three of them started talking after seeing Amor blankly looking around.

Elijah suddenly asked.

“Was I like Amor in the past too?”

The time he spent with his mother was Elijah’s only color in the past.

I still remember it vividly.

But I don’t remember when I was as young as that.

Maria smiled as if recalling a pleasant memory.

“Yes. How cute was that? A child this small would cling to me all day long and I never got tired of calling him Mommy, Mommy.”

Elijah could completely empathize with Mary’s feelings.

That’s who I am now.

It’s been a few days since I said “Mom,” but something deep inside my heart still rises whenever I hear it.

“It was so embarrassing because he kept trying to put things in his mouth. So when I stopped him, he started sucking his fingers.”

Maria laughed as she told the funny old story.

Meanwhile, Judas couldn’t laugh because a bad thought came to his mind.

When they make love at night, Elijah really likes Judah’s fingers.

Enough to put it in your mouth and suck it often.

‘Fingers… . Ever since I was little… . No. No. Let’s not think of anything strange.’

Elijah was not plagued by bad thoughts.

It was just amazing.

Through Amor, this situation itself is where he hears about his past that he didn’t even know about.

“Ever since I was little, I’ve only done cute things.”

Judas, coming out of his wicked imagination, said:

He too was interested in hearing stories about Elijah’s childhood that he did not know.

Elijah poked him in the side, but he did not move.

Maria smiled as she looked at the two.

How lovely to see a son-in-law who loves his daughter so much and his daughter looking so embarrassed.

“Then. Our Ellie should be a little cute.”

“Even Mom… .”

Elijah blushed and quickly changed the subject.

“Oh, Mom, you said you wanted to go to the beach before.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Now that the North Korean cleanup is almost over and we have a lot of time, should we go and take a look? Amordo too.”

When I was going to see the Beersheba Peninsula with Judah.

Maria also said she wanted to go on a boat.

I haven’t had a chance since then, but now was the perfect time.

“Mom is good. Amor will like it too.”

“Hmm… I have to prepare well so that I don’t get cold.”

It was Judah’s advice.

It was around fall of last year that Amor was born.

A year later, it is still a similar late autumn.

Elijah smiled.

“Don’t worry about that. I have something I developed for Amor.”

“huh?”

“It’s a small stone that you carry in your pocket. It always maintains a certain temperature. It protects you from the cold.”

Judas could tell without even having to hear any more.

After looking into his memories, he realizes that it is an object that magically creates a ‘hot pack’.

“Then there’s nothing to worry about. I can look into the date and available ships right away.”

It was a ship that the royal family would be riding on, so they couldn’t afford to hire a lowly ship and captain.

“I’ll ask Sir Galahad later. He’s been resting recently, and he might be looking for a captain who can sail for him.”

“Okay. Okay. I’ll leave that to Judah. ​​… Oh, right. And there’s something else I want to see. The old fireflies…”

The moment Elijah was about to say that.

All three of their eyes turned to Amor at the same time.

“…uh!”

Amor was standing up, trembling.

Without any assistance from others, only with one’s own strength.

Maria, sitting on the same sofa, froze in place.

I was afraid that if I moved, I might disturb Amor.

Judah and Elijah also kept quiet and watched Amor.

“… … .”

In the silence that suddenly fell, Amor stood up firmly.

From a crouching position, slowly straighten your knees and hips and lift your upper body.

Shaking precariously as if he might fall over at any moment.

But at the end of it.

“…!”

Amorga stood tall.

“Oh, oh…!”

“Amor, I believed in you! As expected, you are a genius like Ellie… .”

Amor didn’t stop at just standing.

I took a difficult step forward, with my short arms spread out to the sides.

It was the moment of first steps.

All three of them shut their mouths again and watched Amor.

step.

And one more step.

As I took my third step, I fell down with a thud.

“Amor!”

Judah and Elijah hurried and ran to look.

“Are you okay? Does it hurt?”

“You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”

Amor smiled brightly, making their worries seem meaningless.

In fact, it was hard to even feel pain after falling down on the soft sofa.

Maria laughed as she watched the two worrying.

“Don’t worry too much. Children are light, and even if they fall to the floor, they will get up without a hitch.”

“phew….”

The two people quickly felt relieved.

It was a fact that Judah and Elijah also knew.

But as soon as I saw Amor fall, I was more worried than the truth.

“Mom! Dad!”

When Amor called, smiles quickly appeared on the young parents’ faces.

“Oh my, so cute. Our Amor has learned to walk!”

“It’s clear that he’s a genius. Really. How amazing.”

Judah praising excitedly and Elijah calmly praising.

It was a combination of contradictory ideas that went well together.

Amor was sandwiched between the two and laughed happily.

“Mom! Dad! Hammy!”

Maria also patted Amor’s butt.

“Well done, Amor. You’re truly amazing. Are you looking forward to the future?”

“yes!”

The child who looked like Elijah nodded, answering like Elijah.

These days, because of this cute creature, neither Judah nor Elijah have any heart left.

*

“elegance!”

Amor cried out in Judah’s arms.

There is a large ship in front of you.

It was the biggest thing I had ever seen in my life of about a year.

It was enough to elicit elasticity.

Amor squirmed in Judah’s arms.

Judah smiled happily as he watched his squirming daughter.

As the North stabilized, blocked shipping routes were also opened.

That’s why there’s a recent trend among the nobility: going abroad for education or travel.

Moored at a large dock, this passenger ship is at the cutting edge of fashion.

The ship was originally designed to carry hundreds of people, but today there are only four passengers.

Judah, Elijah, Amor, and Mary.

A departure has been prepared for only the four current royal family members.

“Oh my gosh… It’s really amazing that something this big can float on water.”

Elijah couldn’t help but laugh at Mary’s innocent, childlike reaction.

As it happened, the captain of this voyage came out to greet us.

A man bowed down before them.

“It is a great honor to be able to serve Your Majesty the Emperor and His Family. We will do our best to ensure your comfort during the voyage.”

Edward Prudayne.

He was a captain from the navy and a relative recommended by Galahad.

“Then shall we go?”

Judah spoke, and Elijah followed him, taking him by the hand.

Maria was right next to her.

His daughter, clinging tightly to his arms, had shining eyes as she looked at the large ship.

As we all set foot on the ship, our family journey begins.
