New Life
The reason for my recent lack of appetite and poor health was because I was pregnant.
“What a happy occasion! Increase the number of maidservants and have Shanmal stay at the mansion.”
“Mother, Dr. Shanmal is a royal physician.”
“It’s fine. He will not refuse if you hint at his dark history as a student.”
When she heard that I was pregnant, Mother raised a clamor.
She even said she would increase the number of maidservants, improve the environment, and buy a new, high-quality carriage.
“Ahh, how wonderful.”
“Mom, please don’t make a fuss.”
“Whether it’s a boy or girl, I hope they look like Marie.”
Don’t people usually think it’s better if their grandchild looks like their own son, Mother?
“Why can’t they take after me?”
“Because if they take after Marie, they will be intelligent and affectionate. You’re not very sociable… well, mothers love their children, no matter who they are.”
“I don’t like being treated as an afterthought.”
Even though she says it this way, you can feel her mother’s love.
I can’t help but envy them when I think of the strong trust they have in each other.
“Come on, you two, what is important right now is Lady Marie’s precious body.”
“Bella…”
“If you are going to make a fuss, please leave the room. Is that clear?”
“”Yes…””
As expected of the housekeeper.
She was the only servant who could treat both of them like this.
“Lady Marie, from now on, you will always have someone by your side. Please forgive us if you feel a little cramped.”
“Not at all, I will be in your care.”
From now on, I must be more careful than usual.
It is not only my body now.
“But I’m glad.”
“Indeed.”
As I touched my belly, I wondered with all my heart what would have happened if I had found out I was pregnant while I was at home.
I don’t know if I would have been able to give birth.
“Marie…”
“Everything’s going to be all right. I will do everything I can to protect you and the baby!”
“Mom.”
Henry’s words were interrupted by Mother smacking on her chest.
“You have no intentions of giving any credit to your son, huh.”
“Oh my?”
“It’s too late for that, Master Henry.”
Truly, what a very reliable person.
I don’t know if I can put it this way, but I’ve never met a woman as dependable as our Mother.
“Not only maidservants, we have to employ knights for bodyguards as well.”
“Mom!”
And so, thanks to our Mother’s arrangement, not only will we have more servants,
“Let’s take the opportunity to add a new building!”
“You have already started, didn’t you?”
She started building a new addition beside the large mansion to provide a better environment for us.
I was reminded of her frightening wealth.
