Chapter 4: Unprecedented Love
I was picked up.
A woman in white held my head and handed me to another young woman.
"Madam, he's a healthy young master, but he doesn't cry or make a fuss…"
"It's fine as long as he's healthy. He really inherited the bloodline of the Reinhardt family, my adorable Will~"
The woman held me and called out softly.
This is most likely my mother in this life. As the goddess said, she was gentle and beautiful.
I could clearly understand their conversation. The goddess must have taught me the language of this country while telling me about the situation of the world.
Then, a snow-white and plump chest appeared in front of me. Mother moved my mouth closer.
Instinctively, I opened my mouth and dug in.
Mm, my name in this life is Will. My full name should be Will Reinhardt.
It sounds like a classic Western noble name.
Because my neck had yet to fully develop, I couldn't even try to turn it. I could only seize the time and take in the nutrients I urgently needed.
Hurried footsteps sounded.
"Lilith! Are you alright? Will is safe too, right?"
"Yes, dear. The doctor has just checked. Will is perfectly healthy."
I lifted my eyelids and saw the face of a man.
To be precise, it was my father's face.
He had brown hair and a short, neat brown beard. His eyes were bright. He looked at me with love and gentleness. His face was handsome.
"Earl Davis, Madam and Young Master are very healthy. We'll take our leave first. If you need anything, feel free to instruct us."
"Thank you, Dr. Joanie."
A few footsteps left.
Only my parents and I were left in the room.
"Can I hold him?"
Hearing this, I immediately let go of my mouth and stretched out my arms to ask for a hug. I even let out a whimper.
I want to see the room so badly. It will help me judge the family's situation.
All I could see now was my parents' cheeks and the ceiling.
"He seems to understand you, Davis. What a clever boy."
"Yes. I am his father after all. Come, my good Will."
"Take it easy! Will was just born!"
With my mother's reminder, I felt like I was flying. My father raised me to his height for a kiss and spun me around, trying to make me laugh.
I also got my wish and saw the scene in the room.
The hanging crystal chandeliers, the ancient paintings on the walls that were quite old but had been wiped clean, and all kinds of luxurious decorations. Everything reflected the wealth of this family.
In addition,
a window also flashed past.
The scenery outside the window told me that I was on the second floor or higher.
"Davis, will Will also become the Sword of Damocles in the future?"
Mother's voice was suddenly low.
My father's arm around me clearly stiffened. After a moment of silence, he placed me back in my mother's arms.
"Lilith, you know that the Reinhardt family has guarded this country for generations. This country needs the Sword of Damocles. Every noble who dares to embezzle and plot a rebellion will have a Damocles hanging over his head!"
"But Will is our biological child. We still have Chris and Jennifer!"
"No, Lilith, Chris and Jennifer are our adopted children. If we didn't have children, I would choose one of them as the heir. But we have our own child now. When they are older, I will tell them the truth and let them become Will's support. As the eldest son of the Reinhardt family, Will should inherit the Sword of Damocles!"
"But as Will's mother, how can I bear to watch him take the risk to assassinate…"
"Don't worry. I'll train Will seriously. I'll make him stronger than me so that no one in this world can threaten him. Besides, Lilith, you can't give up your love for Chris and Jennifer just because you have Will. They're our children too. Will needs a brother and sister he can trust."
"Alright, Davis, I admit that I was too agitated just now. I promise you that I won't favor any of them until they grow up."
"We'll raise Will together."
Father sat on the bed.
He looked at me gently with my mother.
I felt unprecedented care and love from their eyes. It was different from the President's hypocritical concern. This was a warm feeling from the bottom of my heart.
Judging from their words, I also had an older brother and sister. Even though they weren't my mother's biological children, my father had poured the same love into them.
I have people to spend my childhood with.
This was great.
In addition to honing my assassination skills, I can at least learn how to interact with others, and we can also spar with each other as opponents.
However, I didn't know what kind of training my father would give me.
In my previous life, all of my assassination techniques were targeted at humans. Those who possessed and used magic clearly didn't fall into this category.
The Reinhardt Family was an assassin family that had been lasted in this world for generations. They should have their own unique skills and methods. These are probably what I will learn.
I will grow up with the care of my parents and the company of my siblings. is this really the life I can enjoy as an organization's assassination tool? The thought of this had me really looking forward to it.
I couldn't help but smile.
"Davis! Will smiled!! He finally knows how to smile. You know, he didn't cry or make a fuss when he was born. I was worried that something had happened to him. All is good now, he knows how to smile!"
"Yes, yes, Lilith. Don't get so worked up. Will is so healthy. Of course he'll smile. Babies only cry when they're not feeling well. That can only mean that Will isn't feeling ill."
"How should I know that? It's my first time giving birth. Everything I knew was told to me by the servants. I don't care. I'm hungry now. I want to eat!"
"Alright! I'll instruct the servants to prepare some food for you."
I watched my father kiss my mother's cheek and walk out with a smile.
Mother happily held me and hummed an unknown tune.
The sunlight from the window shone on her face, giving off a golden glow.
"Mother! Mother! I heard from Father that you gave birth to a younger brother for me. Is that true? I'm finally not a younger sister anymore! I'm going to be an elder sister!"
The door was pushed open again.
A slightly childish voice containing surprise and excitement.
"That's right! Jennifer, come here quickly. This is your brother, Will! You two have to get along well from now on."
Mother raised me a little higher.
I watched a three-year-old girl run to the bed and look at me with her jade-like eyes. She tried to reach out to touch my cheek a few times but didn't dare to. She seemed to be afraid that I would cry.
"Jennifer, Will has a good temper. He won't cry if you touch him."
At my mother's encouragement, Jennifer's chubby little hand finally touched my cheek.
"Will, I'm Jennifer! From now on, I'm your elder sister!"
