Chapter 39 Eldest son and eldest daughter

During childbirth, men are not allowed to be present. The operation is to be done by a female.

And as such, I was praying for the good news to come quick while performing my government duties. In a sense, it was just perfect as I had these duties. I can refrain from being too anxious by doing it.

To tell the truth, I was more worried about the mother's health than the safe birth of the child.

It was during night time. Serafina's attendant came rushing into my office.

"The operation is complete! It is a boy!"

"I see! The mother-is the mother alright?"

"Yes… Miss seems to be tired but it is normal after a childbirth. She is able to embrace the baby by herself too."

"Then, it's all good!"

I stood up from the desk.

"Umm… Miss is also a bit tired now so, could you perhaps wait just a bit longer…? There's also a possibility a sudden change in the baby's health right after birth so…"

"Mmm… I see… I get it. Take care of them."

Seems like I got a bit too excited, making the attendant flinch. She probably thought a man unfamiliar with babies might accidentally drop them or something.

"It is also true that my work has piled up. I will go check later. I would like to know when Serafina is ready."

And then, I met with Serafina later.

She was lying down on the bed but it is true that she seems tired.

"I, did my best."

"Yeah, we don't have to worry about a successor anymore."

I gripped Serafina's hand.

"I still don't know if he will become a worthy successor or not, though."

Serafina being a realist again.

"Because you will become more and more remarkable. I still don't know if this child can be a man that great. Who knows, Raviarsan's child might be more wise."

"I thought the mother would normally want their child to be the heir, you know?"

"I want to be the hero's wife first. I don't want a mistake in selecting a heir which leads to the country sinking."

"I am very blessed to have an intelligent wife like you."

I also embraced the child but-

"It's kinda hard to understand if it's a girl or boy, huh?"

"That's just how it is."

She said laughing.

The territory was in celebration mode for a while.

Many different people came to congratulate and so it was difficult as always to deal with them.

But more importantly, as for me, I still had something weighing on my mind.

Two months after Serafina, now Raviara's child was about to be born. It isn't that weird since I did hear about the child being in the mother's womb for longer for half-elves. And so it seems to be right in terms of schedule but-

"It seems it is going to be a breech delivery so she seems to be having a bit trouble…"

The attendant came saying that so I couldn't keep still.

"Is Raviara alright? Is she?"

"We will try our best to save her at least, if not both…"
