"Rudeus, I want a child!"
I don't know how many times I've heard Eris say this.
In the past, because I was dealing with the task of Orsted, I had to exercise restraint and take some protective measures.
After Ariel was confirmed to be the next king, we spent half a year without restraint.
To put it simply, Eris is pregnant
As for how it was discovered...
"Rudeus... I really have no appetite..."
When Eris said this, everyone at the dinner table was stunned.
No appetite? That Eris?
Think about today's diet
three meals a day
Eris said he had no appetite for breakfast but still ate it
I also said I had no appetite for lunch but I still ate it.
She really didn't eat this dinner, and her expression in front of the dinner table was indeed very sad.
The first one to react was Aisha. She immediately walked up to Eris, held her hand and activated magic to sense Eris's body.
After several minutes, Aisha turned to me in surprise and said
"Brother! You are going to be a father!"
When I heard this, my hand holding the fork froze.
Me? Be a father?
... I have lived in this world for more than 20 years now, and including my previous life, I am 40 years old.
After two lives, he finally wants to be a father?
This thought kept echoing in my mind until Eris spoke excitedly
"Really?! Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know, I can only know that sister Eris has a child."
"Hmm! I hope it's a boy!"
Speaking of which, Eris once told me that if I have a child, I hope it will be a boy
Well...Eris's child will be the eldest son in the family...
"Congratulations, Eris"
"That's great~"
Sylphie and Roxy gave their blessings at the same time, and everyone turned their attention to me.
Should I say something?
As the head of the family? Or as a father?
After thinking for a long time, I said
"Thank you for your hard work, Eris"
It's a cliché, but I really don't know what to say at this moment.
What I have in my heart is not all excitement or happiness, but also pressure.
Not financially of course, but psychologically
I think I am not completely mature yet, but I actually have to raise a brand new life...
"Rudeus... Aren't you happy...?"
Eris said this sentence carefully, which made me realize that there was something wrong with my expression just now.
This is not good, making your pregnant wife worry or something like that
I smiled, stood up, walked to Eris and hugged her
"How could I be unhappy? I was just shocked by this news. I am going to be a father and you are going to be a mother..."
"Yeah! Rudeus likes a boy or a girl?"
"I... am a boy too, right?"
Wanting a boy is not because of such low-level thoughts as favoring boys over girls.
Mainly because I am also a man and may understand my children who are also men better.
I hope so...
"Okay! I will work hard to give birth to a boy for Rudeus!"
I lightly flicked Eris's forehead with my finger.
"Gender is determined from the beginning. Eris It's useless to try hard."
"Um... is that so?"
"Yes, so whether it is a boy or a girl, we must love our children equally."
"I got it!"
After coaxing Eris to finish dinner, our family went out for a walk.
On the way, we talked a lot about the future
Mainly the children's education policy, and the purchase of baby products, etc.
Eris says
If it's a boy, Eris I hope he can be as smart as me and accomplished in magic.
If it's a girl, Eris hopes she can be as talented in swordsmanship as she is
In this regard, Roxy and Sylphie also said that Eris's idea is good
But I don't think so
Well... isn't this the same as Paul and Zenith?
When I got home, after my wives took a shower together, I consciously walked into Eris's room
We didn't do anything, we just lay together and chatted for a while about our children's policies, just the two of us.
"What do Rudeus think? Do you want your child to be like this?"
"Eris, it would be better to wait until the child is born to discuss this matter."
"Why?"
"What if the child doesn't like swordsmanship or magic?"
Eris was stunned for a while
"That's right..."
"Really? Let's see what the child is interested in in the future, and we will do our best to support him."
"Hmm! So Rudeus, what are you doing in my room?"
Huh? What does this mean?
Eris has never kicked me out of the room...
Speaking of which, I heard in my previous life that the mood of pregnant women can be unstable.
But you've just been pregnant not long ago, right? Eh?
I said a little scared
"I'll stay with you. Don't Eris want me to stay with you?"
"I want to, but I don't need to! Go and accompany Sylphie and Roxy."
"But you are just pregnant, I hope..."
"No, you need to go to them quickly. My child needs younger siblings of the same age!"
"But..."
Before I finished speaking, I was pushed out of the room by Eris
Is that what it meant...
I shook my head with a helpless smile and walked towards Sylphie's room.
Sure enough, they were already prepared in advance
Eris should have told them in advance
"Rudeus~Why are you standing there stunned?"
"That's right!"
Anyway, I first shared a bed with Sylphie and Roxy and chatted for a while.
I also learned from their mouths that it turned out that it was difficult for Demon Race and Long-Ear Race bloodlines to conceive, so they never got pregnant.
They seem to feel guilty about this... and afraid
"I'm really happy to find out that Eris is pregnant today... I'm afraid that because we can't give birth to a child for Rudeus, Rudeus will be accused by Paul's father..."
Sylphie felt like he was relieved when he said this.
Roxy beside him also nodded and said
"Well, we had discussed before that if no one could get pregnant, we would ask Rudeus to find another one outside... Fortunately, Eris is here."
After listening to what Roxy said, I spread my arms and held my two wives in my arms.
I don't know why they have such thoughts... Am I acting like a traditional man?
After thinking for a while, I tried to keep my tone gentle
"Even if you all can't give me a child, I won't find anyone else. Am I the kind of person who seems to be unable to survive without a child?"
"But... if it's because of us that Rudeus becomes extinct..."
Sylphie said, the expression on his face was very endearing
Uncontrollably, I gently bit her ear
At the same time, I also extended my claws to Roxy's young body
"What are you doing? We are having a serious discussion."
"It's just...Rudeus ruined the atmosphere..."
Sylphie and Roxy complained together, but their bodies did not resist at all.
"Except for you three, there will be no one else in this life. Even if you are unable to give birth to an heir for me, there will be no one else."
"Hmph~ It's hard to say. I think Rudeus will marry another one."
Sylphie said this playfully
Roxy also agreed.
"I thought so too..."
"Don't you all believe me?"
"That's why I say this because I believe in Rudeus" X2
Eh?
Is that so?
Did I behave like a scumbag after getting married? I thought I was a good husband...
Although he may be a bit lustful, he only behaves like this towards his wife and has never had any bad thoughts or behavior towards any other women. What went wrong?
"Okay Rudeus, don't think too much. Although we said this, we will all agree when the time comes."
"Yeah, after all, she may have liked Rudeus longer than us."
Where is this all from...
"So what exactly are you..."
Before I could finish my questioning words, my mouth was blocked by Roxy's lips.
They are really becoming more and more bold...
"Let's not discuss this matter...Rudeus~I also want a child..."
"Me too~Rudeus It's time to work harder."
In short, let's leave reason behind.
