But soon his anxiety turned into awe. This was because the sound of a child crying came from inside the tent, along with a slap! It meant the birth of Sharillo.

How is the Empress?! Is the Empress all right? Is the child all right? Why arent you answering?!

Carl yelled without giving them a chance to answer. Soon the maid, who was helping the midwife, came out with a child wrapped in a red blanket. The child was crying in a loud voice.

Ah is this Sharillo?

Carl looked over the child with a thrilled look. The child, wrapped in the blanket, was very red and swollen. It was not cute in any sense and couldnt even open its eyes properly.

However, Carl was completely taken by this tiny, fragile-looking creature. It felt indescribable. Deep down in his stomach, all sorts of emotions seemed to fluctuate.

You need to wake up. Stay alert and give me strength.

Then there was the urgent sound of midwives from inside. Carl, startled, tried to get into the room. Then the maid restrained him.

The birth is not over yet. So you cant go in.

What are you talking about? The birth is not over?!

Her Majesty was conceived with two heirs.

Her words surprised not only Carl but also Pavenik and Hain. Soon they began to get excited.

Are you sure there are two heirs? What do you mean, twins? Thats a good sign! You can see the effect of bathing in Elfs lake. Of course, my efforts to stand on one foot so far have played a big role. I cant even feel it anymore. We cant change our feet until our second one is born, right?

Oh my gosh! Two Oh no, I thought there would be only one of them, so I prepared everything for one. The second one will be disappointed. Im going to have to look for the supplies I need.

Unlike the two delighted people, Carl looked distressed. It was a great pleasure to have two precious babies, but the fact that Siennas pain was not over made him suffer.

Carl whispered softly as he looked at Sharillo in the arms of a maidservant.

Why dont you tell your sibling not to give his mother a hard time and come out quickly? This father is waiting

Shortly after the midwife finished her work and Sienna was examined by the imperial doctor, Sienna took two children in her arms and looked one after the other. The reddish color was still lingering, but they were lovely.

The first child was a son and the second child was a daughter, and the two looked very alike. Sienna couldnt take her eyes off the two children for a long time.

Good work.

Said Carl, looking at sienna. Sienna smiled tiredly and said, You did a great job, too. I dont understand why you did that, but

What?

Im giving birth to a child, and why you and the Chancellor are doing such terrible things.

While Sienna went through a childs labor, Carl and Pavenik did what Hain said would be helpful. While standing on one foot, he was slapped on the back with a tree branch, lit a candlestick full in the rooms, and smoked spices that smelled unpleasant.

Theres nothing I could do, so I thought Id have to do something.

Carl said, blushing with embarrassment, though he ordered Pavenik to do those things.

I didnt feel any better because you did that outside. Id rather have you come in next time and hold my hand.

I will.

As Carl nodded, Sienna burst into laughter and said, Youre fearless. You dont know what Im going to do. It hurts so much that I might tear out all that fine blonde hair.

Well, if its better for you to do so, then you should.

At Carls words, Sienna smiled and nodded.

She really didnt mean to do that even if there was another one. By all means, can you tear off the Emperors hair? Still, she was grateful that Carl answered like that.

Their daughter wriggled her fingers whether she was trying to wake up. Carl was amazed at the little creature as small as his palm. The size of the children was a little smaller than the average, perhaps because they were twins.

Wrinkly and red.

Its because theyve been in the amniotic fluid for a long time. You dont have to worry because theyll be okay over time. Would you like to hug him?

Sienna asked. Carl looked at her with a face full of fear.

Carls face full of fear.

Sienna felt very strange.

Its so small, I dont want to hurt it

Its okay. All you have to do is support the neck and the back properly.

When Sienna winked, the maid, who was assisting the midwife, carefully lifted the sleeping boy and handed it to Carl. Because Hain was inexperienced, for the time being, the midwifes maid was going to help Hain and Sienna and teach them how to handle the child.

Carl took the child with care. Fortunately, the child, wrapped in a white sheet, seemed to have no discomfort in his fathers arms. He kept sleeping, munching his lips.

The weight was so light that Carl, anxious, held the child close to his arms.

With Carl holding him like that, he looks even smaller.

Sienna smiled and said so.

Its too small. When will he grow up?

Its going to grow every day. Im sure you will be sad that they grew up too soon.

Carl nodded. But it was Siennas words, so he just nodded as usual.

He couldnt believe this little boy would grow up. He couldnt imagine.

Sienna looked at the other child who lay beside her and said, But more than that, twins! Its amazing. I guess both Carls conception dream and my fathers dream were correct. By the way, whos the light and whos the Kraken?

When Sienna spoke in wonder of her conception dream, Carl said with a soft smile.

No matter what the dream is, they both just need to grow up healthy.

Yes.

Your Majesty, I know youre happy to have your children, but theres a lot of work to be done urgently.

Carl frowned at Paveniks voice from the reception room outside the bedroom. It was true that state affairs changed from day to day, so there was a lot of work, but Carl didnt want to be disturbed at this time.

Carl ignored Paveniks voice and looked at Sharillo in his arms. After watching them, Sienna spoke out.

Carl, give him here and get back to work. So that they can trust their father and grow up at ease.

Carl looked at Sienna with a sad face. He looked like a child begging his mother to play more with his friends even though the sun was down. Sienna said, holding back a sulky laugh.

The heirs and I are going to be here all the time. Why are you so worried? First, finish your work.

Its not something that can be done in a day or two. You told me that a child grows up day by day. What if I miss my child growing up?

Dont worry, it wont get too big in just one day. Theyre like a garden tree, if you look at them every day, you wonder when itll ever grow up, but one day they will grow up as big as the sun and create a cool shade above your head. Theyre going to grow up like that.

Only

Still, Carl couldnt let go of his child in his arms. Eventually, the midwife kicked out Carl, saying Sienna should breastfeed the children.

After being kicked out of the room, Carl glared fiercely at Pavenik as soon as he went out the door.

Cant a Chancellor work without me? You can leave me alone on a day like today.

Do I do this for my own happiness? I have to get back to work even though I cant feel my legs because of someone. In the present situation, if you take a day off, youll be two days behind. As soon as the work is stabilized, Ill leave you alone even if you say you have to breastfeed the heirs yourself. So hang in there for just another month.

Pavenik said, with an unfair face while massaging his legs.

Carl kicked Paveniks shin hard, who threw a nonsense joke and headed for the Oval Office.

Paveniks screams did not arouse pity for Carl.
