The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 226
81. The second one wasn’t easy.
“Why? The baby is in the mother’s stomach. Why does the father have to be there too?”
“… … .”
“So the baby is in the mother’s stomach, and the father is in the mother’s stomach… . Woof… ?”
Amor grumbled and cut himself off, not knowing how to express his curiosity.
Elijah came forward at just the right time.
“Amor. Babies are a blessing from the sun god. They say that when you pray with someone you love, God gives you a gift. Right? Honey?”
Elijah looked at Judah and asked,
With eyes full of a look that tells you to agree.
Judas nodded quickly.
“Oh, oh, oh. Right. That’s right. That’s why you need a mom and a dad. Hmm.”
“Euuum… .”
Amor put his finger to his lips and thought for a long time.
No matter how smart a child is, he is still a child.
There are bound to be limitations to the knowledge you have learned so far.
Elijah dug into that point.
Soon Amor was convinced.
“I see!”
It was an understanding that was possible because I couldn’t even think of the act of giving birth to a baby in a human body.
Judah and Elijah sighed in relief.
This put my mind at ease.
“I want to see my little brother soon.”
Amor leaned his face against Elijah’s belly.
After all, Amor is still a child.
They forget things quickly and easily turn their attention to other things.
Elijah stroked Amor’s head.
“I know.”
The second one is awaited.
So did Judah and Elijah.
*
The second birth went smoothly in many ways.
I tried it once, and it was thanks to the magic of anesthesia.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty. You have a healthy prince.”
This time, May was in charge of the surgery.
“Ewww!”
As if to prove that he was a boy, his crying was loud and deafening.
Judah, who had received the lump of flesh, carefully showed it to Elijah.
“Ellie. Look at this.”
“Phew… .”
Even with the magic of anesthesia, childbirth is an arduous task.
It was not that he was insensitive to pain, but that his body was not tired.
Muscles stretch and bones spread.
It is impossible to eliminate the phenomenon itself.
Then you won’t be able to give birth.
Elijah wiped away the cold sweat and held the child in his arms.
‘… Yeah. That’s the feeling.’
The emotion I felt when I first encountered Amor.
A little warmth that lets you know you’re alive.
Something that gives you a reason to keep living.
Judah and Amor. And believing in this son, Elijah can live happily in the world.
Among the names he was considering, Elijah decided on one.
‘trust.’
This child was his own faith.
“Fides… I want to name the child Fides.”
Judas smiled happily.
She smoothed Elijah’s wet hair.
“Fides. Our second child.”
“yes….”
“Ewww!”
Elijah took the sad cries of the fetus deep into his heart.
Fides di Bevel.
The second son was born.
And Judah and Elijah realized that Amor was an angel among angels.
Caring for Fides, unlike Amor, was never easy.
*
The baby wakes up approximately every two hours.
To be exact, you have to wake up.
This is because the baby’s stomach is very small.
Therefore, you should feed your baby either breast milk or formula milk every two hours.
After feeding, you have to pat the baby on the back to make him burp, and only then is the feeding time truly over.
This process should be repeated approximately every two hours.
Judah and Elijah already knew this.
In fact, that’s how Amor was raised when he was a newborn.
Feed, burp, and put to sleep every two hours.
But his second son, Fides, was quite different from Amor.
“Eww, eww!”
Judas took Fides in his arms and comforted him as he cried.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
First of all, keep crying.
Fides cries often, to the point where my worries about Amor not crying seem meaningless.
That too, very sad and noisy.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. What were you so sad about? Huh?”
Judah and Elijah took turns hugging and comforting Fides.
I breastfed him and changed his diaper, but he still cries.
There is no particular reason.
Please hug me.
It’s crying, asking to be held, cuddled, and stroked.
Only then will Fides gradually stop crying.
“Whew… .”
Stopping crying isn’t the end.
“Fides? Should I go to sleep?”
A baby sleeps approximately 20 hours a day.
But Fides doesn’t sleep.
Stay awake.
There are two things I do without sleeping.
Cry or.
Just sit there, blinking your golden eyes like Judas’.
He doesn’t understand what I say, so he won’t go to sleep even if I tell him to.
Elijah replaced Judah and embraced Fides.
“Fides. Since I ate momma’s food, I should sleep. Okay?”
After much coaxing, she finally falls asleep, and wakes up crying.
While raising Fides, Judah and Elijah came to a realization.
‘ah….’
Amor is not something they raised themselves.
I grew up on my own.
I had no choice but to explain it that way, and I was infinitely grateful to Amor.
“Why is the baby crying?”
Even Amor didn’t show any expression even when Fides cried loudly.
Rather, I asked about various things as if I was curious.
“That’s….”
While Judah was pondering, Elijah answered.
From noble mtl dot come
“When babies cry, they’re talking. They’re trying to tell mommy and daddy when they’re hungry or when they have something to complain about.”
“I see… Did I cry like that too?”
“No. Amor was quiet and well-behaved, wasn’t he?”
“Why? Aren’t babies supposed to cry?”
“… Because Amor is an angel.”
It was a word that contained many meanings.
She doesn’t cry, is dignified, and has a childlike innocence.
He was truly an angel who came down for the two of them.
Judah also vehemently agreed with that expression.
“angel?”
Amor tilted his head.
An angel for mom and dad.
I liked it.
You can become an angel as much as you want because you love your mom and dad as much as they love you.
“Yeah! I’m an angel!”
“… Well then. That’s right.”
Judah nodded, stroking Amor, who was smiling brightly.
Thanks to Amor, I was able to endure difficult times with some ease.
As time passed, Fides cried less and slept better.
Just by babbling and laughing, Judah and Elijah felt as if all the fatigue from the day had been washed away.
Okay, that’s it.
A small and precious smile.
A pure smile that makes the world seem clearer.
It’s like when I saw Amor’s smile.
With that alone, everything is forgiven and rewarded.
Before they knew it, Judah and Elijah were becoming proper parents.
*
Fides, the second son.
The child tried to prove at every moment how lively a person he was.
The vitality was enough to make it difficult for Judas, who was physically at the peak of mankind, to do so.
“dad!”
“…Uh. Yeah. P, Fides.”
Judas, who had been absent-minded, suddenly raised his head in surprise.
“dad!”
My son is now a little under two years old.
It’s past time to say another word, but Fidesz still only uses two words.
Dad. And Mom.
‘The problem is that most things can be solved with just those two words… .’
As soon as Fides calls, Judah and Elijah will identify the problem and solve it.
Actually, it is possible that language development is a little delayed.
He’s still very young.
The real problem is himself, who was surprised by Fidesz’s call.
The word dad, which at first made me feel happy and joyful, now became scary.
“Dad! Dad!”
Fides, who was on his back, was writhing wildly.
Judah held on to his son tightly, fearing that he might fall.
“Oh, okay. Okay. Let’s run again then?”
“dad!”
Unlike Amor, Fides likes to play hard.
One of them is that he is carried up and down the mountain at full speed on Judah’s back.
‘If this is talent, then it is talent… .’
A body that is superior to that of an ordinary person.
The speed at which he runs is difficult for even the average person to handle.
But Fidesz rather enjoys it.
‘I don’t know about anything else, but it seems like you were born with quite the body.’
Walking comes before talking.
And as I was talking, he started jumping around.
He was a good baby when he was born, so it was clear that his body was just like his.
Judas took a stance and ran again.
Fides clings tightly to his back and holds his breath.
‘I ran so much that the road here became wide… .’
A straight path appeared in the mountain along the path he ran.
This is why playing Fides is so hard.
It’s not that my body is tired.
I’m mentally distressed.
Repeating the same exact task for more than four hours was a form of play that was detrimental to the mental health of Judah, a 25-year-old adult.
This wasn’t just for Judah.
Elijah is also asked to use levitation magic to roam the sky.
The stamina was so great that even the spotted puppies and Yuel collapsed from exhaustion while playing together.
Judah has extraordinary physical strength.
Elijah, who plays with magic rather than physical strength.
Only two could handle Fides.
Judas, who had reached the opposite end of where he had started, slowly stopped.
Only then did Fides burst into laughter.
A child’s characteristic, upside-down laughter.
“Dad! Daddy, daddy!”
Although it is a single word, Judah can now interpret it.
It meant that it was good to be new.
Judas lifted Fides forward.
The sight of him laughing while wagging his short limbs is just so adorable.
Even though he’s a baby, his hair is soft and cute even though it grows in patches.
Judah also smiled as he looked into the golden eyes that resembled his own.
‘Yeah… If you like it, what can’t I do?’
With just one laugh, even mental anguish is washed away.
…not completely, but a little bit.
“Oh my, was it that good?”
“dad!”
“Okay, okay. Running again?”
“dad-!”
Judas ran again with Fides on his back.
In fact, there was another reason for being able to endure like this, other than Fidesz’s laughter.
Judah and Elijah set one rule.
To the person who came to play Fides, I promised to do my best to serve him that night.
‘What should I get today?’
With sinister thoughts in his mind, Dad kept running.
Meanwhile, in the palace garden.
Elijah was reading a storybook to Amor.
The table was covered in dust and he was sleeping soundly.
After reading the entire storybook, Amor briefly summarizes the content and writes down his impressions.
Holding the pen tightly with his short hands, he scribbles awkwardly.
Elijah looked at the sight with pleasure and raised his head.
A small cloud of dust is rising from the mountain in the distance.
This is where Judas runs.
‘You’re working hard today too.’
Then, you have to compensate for that at night.
When I first set this rule, it was a kind of motivation.
Playing Fides was hard work, so these rules were necessary.
But both of them were more than satisfied with this rule; they were looking forward to it.
The process of figuring out how to satisfy the other person was also enjoyable.
‘What should I do today to make you happy?’
Amor, who had finished writing his book review, tilted his head.
“Mom. Why are you laughing?”
“It’s because I like being with Amor.”
“But were you looking over there?”
His daughter, who is as intelligent as he is, doesn’t give in to anything easily.
But Elijah had the ability to handle this situation with ease.
“Seeing my dad and Fides playing over there made me realize how precious family time is.”
Although intelligent, Amor is innocent because he grew up in a happy environment.
“I see!”
So, you will quickly understand.
So that this child will not lose his innocence in the future.
Elijah was to protect him.
It’s not just Amor.
Fides too.
And his eternal companion, Judah.
Elijah vowed again that he would use all his strength and means to protect them.
And then, out of the blue, I thought about what to do at night.
‘I liked it when I was blindfolded and tied up last time… I wonder if Judas would like it too.’
That night, Judas experienced being helplessly dragged into pleasure.
