The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 225



80. How are babies made?

“I want to marry dad!”

Amor declared.

Judah watched Elijah.

The wife, who had been seriously contemplating, finally opened her mouth.

His voice, lower than usual, was overly calm.

“Amor. That won’t do.”

“Ellie. That, that’s just the nonsense you say when you’re young…”

“Stay still.”

“yep.”

The questioning Amor had was extremely pure.

“Why not?”

“Dad is already married to Mom. So, that’s not possible.”

“Why can’t I marry my mother?”

Not trying to pick a fight, just innocent curiosity.

Why should people only pair up with one other person?

‘How do I explain the monogamous marriage system to a five-year-old?’

Elijah ran into a dilemma.

“hmm….”

Judah watched the confrontation between mother and daughter from a step away.

Elijah was speechless.

Elijah, who leads and leads conversations calmly and gently in all matters.

It is a rare and difficult experience.

As I watched with interest, Amor detonated another bomb.

“I’m going to marry Mom too!”

“…?”

“Marriage is about marrying someone you love. I love you too, Mom, so I want to marry you too!”

“… … .”

It was a truly transparent confession and proposal that only a child could make.

Also, as a child, Amor did not really understand marriage.

“Marriage is something you have to do if you want to live with someone you love!”

Elijah burst out laughing.

‘What am I doing to the child…?’

My reason wavered for a moment.

What could have been on his mind when he was just a cute kid who didn’t even know what it meant for a man and a woman to get married?

Judas’ words are also correct.

This is just a childish remark.

Even after 10 years, you won’t even remember when it happened.

Therefore, Judah is his own companion forever.

Elijah smiled and hugged Amor.

“Yes, Amor. Mom and Dad, let’s get married and live happily ever after.”

“yes!”

Judah approached the mother and daughter embracing and joined in.

And then he asked casually.

“… Amor. Is there anyone else you want to marry besides Mom and Dad?”

It was an operation to detect the enemy in advance.

Amor blinked his big eyes.

“Other than Mom and Dad?”

The answer came quickly.

“doesn’t exist!”

Just as Judah was relieved, Amor spoke again.

“Ah! There it is!”

“…who?”

“Hami!”

Amor still calls his grandmother Hammi.

That is, it was Maria.

Only then did Judas smile in relief.

“Yes, yes. Our Amor, you are so sweet, you are overflowing with love.”

“yes!”

Amor smiled broadly as he was hugged by his parents.

Big and cozy warmth.

Amor is the people I love and adore the most in the world.

‘I have to marry Mom and Dad later and live together forever!’

Unlike her daughter, who was transparent and honest, her parents’ intentions were not so transparent.

‘Amor cannot be given to anyone.’

‘Judas must be mine forever.’

Both were not normal, but this was also a kind of love.

Anyway, since they were a happy family, everything worked out well.

*

Even after Amor grew up, Judah and Elijah did not neglect their parenting studies.

Amorda is calm and quiet compared to other children.

Still, parenting is never easy or simple.

I have no intention of taking it lightly.

The couple always wanted to be the best parents possible.

I constantly studied and thought about myself in order to remain a parent that Amor could trust and rely on.

Elijah came to the study today to look for parenting books.

‘Even if it’s an unhelpful book, it’s not completely useless. You can use it as a negative example.’

I’m also choosing a storybook to read to Amor. And I’m also doing something else.

The Imperial Palace Study is a space open to all palace servants.

Therefore, the vassals working in the palace also often came to the study.

When Elijah first visited the study, everyone avoided him.

The Emperor did not order it, they did it on their own.

But as her frequency of coming and going increased, everyone became accustomed to the emperor’s comings and goings.

Elijah’s catching on to some of the murmurs was due to his familiarity with it.

It was the moment when Elijah, who had even chosen a fairy tale book, turned around to go back.

A small murmur was heard.

“This book is so good…?”

“Is this the book?”

“That’s right. I happened to read it, and I stayed up all night that day… .”

A voice lowered to the lowest level possible so that no one could hear.

A little excited.

It seems like a strange topic is being discussed.

Elijah tried to ignore it.

But the next words caught me off guard.

“I have a friend who hadn’t had a baby in months, and she got pregnant with her first child right after showing this book to her husband… .”

“Oh… .”

Elijah stood tall.

About 24 years old this year.

About six years after marrying Judah.

It was still a time when I was very interested in dirty things.

Still, Judas and himself are hot at night, almost burning up the surroundings. Still.

“… … .”

Elijah poked his head over the bookshelf.

A place where the noise of the bustle has dispersed.

It’s quiet now.

Everyone left.

I took a quick look around.

There is no one watching.

Elijah walked like a thief to the place where the women had been making noise.

Areas sorted by name.

Among them, there was a book that particularly stood out.

[The circumstances of a lewd cat maid and a tyrant who must pretend to be sadistic.]

Just reading the title makes my head feel hot.

Volumes 1 and 2 were on the bookshelf.

Judging by the blank space on the side, it looks like there are more series to come.

“… … .”

Elijah took out Volume 1 and opened it.

The book was written more like dialogue from a play than a novel.

Especially the exaggerated and dramatic lines reminded me of a play I had seen before.

[Maid: Master, I just came to clean the room. Please don’t touch my tail.]

[Master: Is that really all? Is that really all you have to do to lift that plump butt and wag that cute tail in front of my face?]

[Master: (Sighing inwardly) Oh, my goodness. It was the biggest mistake of my life to hire her as a maid. The only distinguishing features of the water spirit are its ears and tail, but other than that, it has a rare appearance that looks exactly like a human, so I bought it! But in reality, she is a sadistic hedonist who pursues s*xual stimulation, and the strongest assassin on the continent who kills and runs away with any master she fails to satisfy! In order to survive, I have no choice but to satisfy her!]

[Maid: (blushing as if embarrassed) This, this is…! It’s just a characteristic of our race!]

[Owner: (Pretending to be calm again) Of course, cutie. Right, you said you came to clean, right? Then shouldn’t you clean these crevices too?]

[Maid: There’s a big, sharp spear there! You’ll get stabbed!]

[Master: Don’t worry. This spear will stab you roughly, but it will never hurt you. But I might grab that tail hard.]

[… … .]

Elijah, who was completely absorbed in the experience, suddenly raised his head.

I checked my surroundings again, making a whoosh, whoosh sound.

Fortunately, no one was watching.

Elijah read the title of the book again, then closed his eyes tightly.

‘I, I’m like this… like this… no, this, this content… .’

Elijah quickly put the book back in its place.

‘I, I just. I just read it briefly. I, I, don’t need this, okay…’

I had to take my foot off the gas, but I couldn’t.

Elijah hugged the storybook tightly and looked up at the bookshelf.

The books I had just read were lined up next to each other.

The words he had just read from the book began to flow through Elijah’s mind.

A fantasy species called Suin with black cat ears and tail.

And the male master who tries hard to satisfy her.

‘… … .’

Elijah left the study.

And, volumes 1 and 2 of the book were also missing from that place.

*

“You want to read a book with me?”

This was what Elijah suddenly requested when he returned from the study.

“yes.”

For some reason Elijah blushed.

Judas agreed, although he did not know why.

“Well, I can do it if you want… Is that okay? I’m a slower reader than Ellie.”

“are you okay.”

“Okay, fine. What book is it?”

This was the first time something like this had happened.

I was excited to read the book together, wondering what kind of book it was.

And the book that Elijah shyly took out shattered all expectations and predictions.

[The circumstances of a lewd cat maid and a tyrant who must pretend to be sadistic.]

“… … .”

Judas just opens his mouth.

I couldn’t say anything.

Elijah quietly climbed onto his stiff knees, leaning against the bedside.

I sat with my back against his chest.

This way, you can hug him and read a book together.

“… … .”

Judah had no choice but to remain silent until Elijah took his place.

When she finally turned the page, Judas was sucked into the book.

[…(syncopation)…]

[Maid: Master, what should I do to get this huge loaf of bread into my oven?]

[Owner: Cutie. That bread isn’t ready to bake yet. Isn’t it still not risen?]

[Maid: Oh, really? What should I do?]

[Master: (in a warm yet cold voice) It’s so pitiful that a guy who doesn’t even know that came to be my maid.]

[Maid: (Blushing with anticipation.)]

[Owner: Okay, I’ll tell you, but you have to do it yourself next time. Okay? And don’t forget to heat your oven while the dough rises.]

[… … .]

“…Judah.”

Elijah called to him with a wet voice.

“…Uh, yeah. Ellie.”

She closed the book and looked back at herself.

Glistening eyes.

Tightly closed lips.

It’s clear that there is something you desperately want.

The same was true of Judah.

He glanced around.

“… Amor?”

“Sleep in Mom’s room. I checked on the way here.”

“… … .”

Even while they had Amor, the two never neglected their love.

Judah, who was stroking her hair and caressing her shoulders, suddenly said.

“…Maid outfit. Can you wear it for me?”

“… … .”

Elijah swallowed.

From noble mtl dot come

My heart was pounding with strange anticipation, yet I was also nervous.

I know where the maid’s uniform is kept.

If you teleport, you can avoid being caught.

After using it, you can just sneak it into your laundry.

Elijah finished his judgment.

“…I’ll bring it.”

And Judah came face to face with Elijah, dressed in a traditional maid’s garment that covered his ankles.

She kept lowering her head, holding onto the hem of her skirt, as if embarrassed.

She said shyly, looking around.

“Oh, my lord…?”

“…!”

Those words cut off the sanity that Judah had been barely maintaining.

Elijah whispered to him as he hugged him tightly.

“You know, even if I tell you to stop, don’t stop. I want you to do whatever you want with Judas. Even if I don’t like it.”

“… … .”

Flesh-colored fantasies swirling through my head.

Judas smiled and nodded.

For a brief moment, the two enjoyed the rare and enjoyable experience of switching places.

And three weeks later.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

Elijah became pregnant with her second child.

*

Judah and Elijah deliberately did not have a second child.

I wanted to focus on Amor.

As this was my first time raising a child, I was afraid that I might become an awkward parent and neglect Amor.

When Amor grew up and was thinking that it was time to have a second child, the real second child came.

“Little brother!”

Amor was excited to hear that he was going to have a younger sibling.

“You’re my little brother! I’m your little brother too!”

Richard and Beninita already have a second child.

The name is Bairin.

He is a boy two years younger than Amor.

He is currently the number one target of Judah’s vigilance.

Sometimes when playing with them, Amor envied the existence of a younger sibling.

“Is your little brother here?”

Amor put his hand on Elijah’s stomach and asked.

“Yeah. I’m waiting to go out and meet Amor. I’ll come later.”

“Oh… .”

Judah stroked Amor.

“Are you going to be nice to your little brother?”

“yes!”

“Oh my, it’s pretty.”

Elijah sorted out the magic in his head.

Since her first birth, she has been improving her anesthesia magic with Epona.

Giving birth to Amor is definitely a happiness and blessing that will never come again in my life.

However, I didn’t want to experience the pain of childbirth twice.

‘It’ll be fine, since the clinical trials have been completed.’

It was impossible to completely eliminate the pain, so it was limited to relieving it.

That was enough of an achievement.

Elijah smiled, stroking his belly, which was not even swollen yet.

“But there is something.”

Amor suddenly tilted his head.

“How are babies made?”

“… … .”

I’m old enough to be curious.

But the timing is not good.

This question comes at a time when I am pregnant with my second child.

Judah and Elijah glanced at each other.

“If there’s a younger sibling inside, that means there’s a baby inside. When I think about it, it’s strange. Why is a baby inside its mother’s stomach?”

“… … .”

What went in wasn’t a baby, but something else… .

I couldn’t say that to my five-year-old daughter.

Moreover, the smart daughter blocked the way for adults to escape with the unrealistic stories they usually tell children.

Where did you pick it up?

Or that it was given as a gift from God.

Excuses like that.

“Huh? Why?”

Judah and Elijah didn’t know what to say to Amor.

Once a question becomes a curiosity, Amor delves into it in some way.

That personality that needs to be understood to be satisfied resembles Elijah.

While Elijah was worrying, Judah somehow took action to resolve the situation.

“That, that’s Amor. Mom and Dad are getting married… .”

“…yes?”

Judas overlooked one thing.

That could be called the curse of knowledge.

The curse of knowledge, that once you know something, you can never go back to the time before you knew that information.

in other words.

He couldn’t think in line with the child’s perspective, knowing nothing about pregnancy and childbirth.

“Do you need a father to have a baby?”

It was a flaw in Amor’s pure prejudice that he believed that a baby could be conceived just by having a mother alone.

The daughter, as intelligent as her mother, never missed the gap between her own knowledge and Judah’s remarks.

“Why? The baby is in the mother’s stomach. Why does the father have to be there too?”

A cold sweat began to run down Judah’s back.

I made the situation more complicated by talking nonsense.

I feel like hitting my lips for making a mistake.

So, if you can retract your statement, by all means.

But words already spoken cannot be taken back.

Elijah, the wife, decided to step in for her anxious husband.

She had just finished coming up with an excuse to give the child back.
