Bertia…’s Son, 5 Years Old

“Waaah… Waaaah……”

The lively sound of a baby’s first cry entered my ears as I was waiting at the adjoining room around the time that the sky turned white.

It was said that the first childbirth would take quite a time, and it lasted almost all night.

In the meantime, from the adjoining room, I heard my wife’s painful groans… or not. “Waitt!! This couldn’t be!! What is this pain?!!” “If it’s painful, then it is painful indeeeed!!” “B-baby, do your best and please come out quicklyyy!!” “You’re Cecil-sama’s child, so you can do it if you try!! Mother will work hard as well!! That’s why, let’s do our best together… As expected, it hurtsss!!” I continued to hear those kinds of pointlessly vigorous voice.

Bertia, I certainly had quite an early development, but as expected, it was inconceivable for a baby to worry about their mother and get out of her stomach as soon as possible during their birth, right?

Even if they were my child, since it was a very unreasonable thing, in spite of the situation, I ended up laughing spontaneously.

Speaking of which, my father-in-law whose face was pale as he heard Bertia’s voice next to me, commented, “Bertia, unfortunately that child also has half of your blood in them!! No matter how much of His Highness’ blood is drawn, it’s so pitiful to expect so much from them!!”, but… I wonder if I’m the only one who thinks that the problem isn’t there?

Right beside Marquis Noches, there was Kuro who raised her intimidating voice as her tail expanded, perhaps it was because she didn’t really understand the concept of childbirth or perhaps it was her reaction to Bertia’s painful voice.

She surely wanted to eliminate the existence that brought pain to Bertia, but in this case, the one who inflicted the pain was my child who was about to be born, so I’d tell Zeno to stop her with all his power.

After the difficult night passed, I met my child who let me experience a feeling of tension that I could say as a first time in my life.

“Cecil-sama, I did itttt!! It’s a cute, cute little boyyy!”

Bertia welcomed me with her sloppy face that was full of sweats after her childbirth and tears of joy. In her arms, there was a small, small baby tucked in baby clothes.

The moment I saw his face, I felt a certain hunch at the same time as I instinctively felt like crying.

…This child is [the same kind] as me.

“Please take a look! His hair is a mixture of my and Cecil-sama’s hair color, it’s a strawberry blonde! However, his face looks exactly like Cecil-sama!!”

Since he was just born, his facial features were not yet clear, and it felt like my child’s face was still crumpled, but… he certainly looked like me.

When he grows up a bit more and his facial features become clear, he would surely give the impression that he’s surely [my child].

“This child will surely grow up to be smart just like Cecil-sama!! Even if that isn’t the case, with him being this cute, it’s unmistakable that he’d grow up to be a prince loved by everyone!!”

“…Yes. He definitely will.”

Looking at Bertia who was happily nudging our child, I decided to put off the matter for now.

As if he could sense the mood, our child smiled as Bertia cuddled him. It’s not that I don’t feel anxious about his future prospects, but… Well, it will surely be all right.
