[What does a qualified father look like?]
Questions like this have been lingering in my mind lately
I'm a little unsure
I didn't have a father in my previous life, but my father in this life is Paul
So there is no reference object for the image of father...
After all, can Paul really be called a qualified father?
At least for me, he is not qualified
My imagination of my father is far from a father like Paul
No...
It's not good to deny Paul like this. In Norn's eyes, Paul is a very good father.
As for Aisha... I asked her before [What kind of existence is your father to you?]
Our conversation goes like this
"I don't know. It's true that my father loves me, but if I have to say what kind of existence my father is... I can't explain clearly."
"Why?"
"Well... in the storybook, the image of the protector of the father's family is strong, handsome, and gentle."
"Indeed, what's the problem?"
"I think... what is described in the storybook is not a father, but a perfect man."
"Oh..."
"I think people have to have flaws to be lovable, and only those with flaws can be loved. What do you think, brother?"
"I'm not sure either..."
"My father... may be more like a [friend] to me. He is my brother who has always protected me. He is the person I admire and want to surpass..."
"..."
"In short~ I think the person who loves me the most is my brother! I also love my brother the most. Although I also love my father, my father's position in my heart has always been very strange! It doesn't make any sense for my brother to ask me this question!"
Well... at this moment, I am walking with Aisha and Eris on the way to Paul's house
Aisha held the hand of Eris and bought whatever he liked on the way. He also bought the gift for the meeting by the way.
But in fact, there is no need to buy gifts. I still meet Paul quite often.
After all, I visit Zenith every three days to check on her condition
Looking at Eris, who is three months pregnant but still alive and kicking, I still gave up my fantasy about my father.
Arriving at the door of Paul's house, I knocked on the door
The maid who was sweeping the floor opened the door. She said hello and we walked in.
Paul, who heard the noise, came out of the room and smiled when he saw us.
"Why did you suddenly remember to come see me?"
"Hello father"
Eris said hello politely after seeing Paul
"Oh~Eris, okay, you're not here to sue Rudeus, are you? Is this guy bullying you?"
"No, no! Come here this time..."
Because Eris said before coming here that she wanted to tell her pregnancy in person
So neither Aisha nor I interrupted to say anything.
"What's wrong? Rudeus didn't really do anything to apologize to you, right? Rudeus!"
Paul Seeing that Eris was hesitant to speak, he immediately called out my name fiercely.
It seems that he still has some confidence in his bloodline...
"No, no! I want to say... you are going to be a grandpa!"
When Eris said these words, Lilia also happened to walk out
The fruit plate I was holding fell to the ground after hearing these words.
Paul was still dumbfounded. After a few seconds,
"Is... your...?"
"Yes!"
When the two of them were at a loss, Lilia broke the silence
"Congratulations, Madam Eris, Young Master Rudeus"
"Yeah! Lilia's mom is going to be a grandma too!"
Eris smiled cheerfully, while Lilia smiled peacefully.
Until then, Paul laughed loudly and said
"I'm going to be a grandpa?! Hahahahahaha, Lilia did you hear that? I'm going to be a grandpa!"
"Yes yes..."
Lilia smiled helplessly, leaned down and picked up the fruit that he had just dropped.
"I thought you didn't want children. It took more than two years for the three wives to get the good news. Don't let me worry about it!"
"That's because I have more important things before me."
"Anyway, it would be great to have a child! Hahahaha!"
Paul came to me and patted my back
The reason why I feel that Paul is not like my father is because of this
When he gets along with me, we are completely equal
I don't have to be more respectful just because he is his father.
This... is actually not bad, at least it can be used as a reference...
"Then I have to entertain you tonight. Why don't Roxy and Sylphie come together?"
"They will be a little later. When Roxy get out of class is over, they will come together."
"Okay! Then Lilia and I will go out to prepare the ingredients. Can you... also tell Zenith the good news?"
"I will"
Taking Eris to Zenith's room
She still looks like that
But... if I want, I can use magic to enter her brain to find out, but only to find out.
The treatment still requires continued experimentation, so I have never used that magic on Zenith
I have collected several people with the same symptoms as Zenith, so I am not in a hurry, I just need to use them for experiments.
Eris sat next to Zenith and spoke softly
"Zenith Mom, you are going to be a grandma"
Zenith had a little reaction after hearing this sentence.
Stretched out his hand and put it on Eris's belly
But it's only three months, so I probably can't feel any bulge in Eris's belly
I also walked to Zenith and squatted down
"You are going to be a grandma. If possible, you should also come up with an idea for the name of your first child."
"I really hope Zenith mother can wake up before the baby is born"
"Yes, the case has existed for a long time. Next, I am going to do the final experiment. Eris, will you agree?"
"Of course I agree! But... where...?"
"There is one case in the Asura Kingdom, and there is another case in the Millis Holy Kingdom. Don't worry, I will go home every day."
"Well... come on, Rudeus!"
In the evening, the family got together after a long absence
Because the throne was confirmed, Ariel went back to school, and Norn came into contact with Ariel's new guard, Rujierd
When she found out that this was the escort I stuffed next to Ariel, she was surprised and asked me a lot of questions.
Uh-huh! That's it, the younger sister should worship her older brother!
However...Norn doesn't seem to be interested in me. I mainly ask questions about Rujierd.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen Superd tribe before.
According to Norn, although many people in the college are afraid of him, because of Ariel, many people have turned their fear into respect.
Then there's the discussion of children's issues
Name...Paul said he is stupid, even my name was thought of by Zenith
Lilia means that there is no rush now. It is very likely that one day during the pregnancy, a name will suddenly come to mind when encountering a certain thing.
Everyone agreed with Lilia's statement
Finally, I confessed to everyone about Zenith
Of course, I didn't tell Paul and Lilia about using people for experiments.
I just vaguely told them that I will treat the child before he is born Zenith
Paul was not too excited about this, he just smiled and said
"Just work hard. There is no need to force yourself. If Zenith was awake, he would definitely say this."
Well...
If she were awake...
