As I entered the spring garden, I felt the mild air. Noah quickly changed his appearance and laughed at the unexpected person.
"Haresh."
"Mr. Noah."
"What's going on? You're here?"
Ran's not in the Sky Mansion?
"It sounds like I only come to Ran when I have business."
"It's true, isn't it?"
Haresh was indignant at Noah's rebuttal.
"No."
"It's No?"
"Yes, and I'm here to see Noah today."
He then stuck out a bunch of parchment paper. It was a ragged, crumbling document.
"It's about Dragon."
"Oh, thank you."
"But we don't have much data either·······."
"I know. The dragons left before the Darkness ate up the continent, and I was the only one left. Most of the records were destroyed by the darkness."
"Yes."
"It's strange."
Noah frowned.
"What a country I don't know."
Haresh asked cautiously.
"Do you want your memory back?"
Noah raised his eyes and looked at Haresh. In the dragon's golden eyes, Haresh slightly avoided looking.
"No, not at all. It's weird, but I don't think it has anything to do with me. That's the story."
"I see."
"And it's pathetic to ruin your life because of a woman."
Grumbling, Noah asked Haresh, taking a bunch of parchment paper.
"Ran?"
"Healthy."
"Baby in the boat, too?"
"Yes."
Noah smiled like a child.
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Are you?"
"Yes, and I assure you."
The golden eyes, which were close to yellow, glistened.
"It must be a girl."
*******
Before winter came, Ran returned to the Sky Mansion.
When the owner of the mansion returned, the mansion also became lively.
In fact, we should call it the palace now, but everyone still called it the Sky Mansion.
Some said that the mansion might reduce the dignity of the royal family, but the opinion was also quieted by building a new palace.
A new palace was being built in the center of the country, not a biased ice wall. So they called them royal palaces, and this was still the Sky.
As the uniform became a kingdom, everyone from servants to chief butler worked in low clothes.
It would cost an enormous amount of money to match the uniform to that large number of people, but the Lazian royal family was willing to pay all of it.
"You get what you spend."
Ran said so, and the day the maid entering the royal family expected the most was also the day of the uniform payment.
Uniforms were customized, so it took about a week, and everyone used to smile proud when they first wore uniforms.
"I like it when everyone looks happy."
Kara, who is now the chief of maid, said with a pleased face. Ran nodded her head.
"I'm glad to hear that. As expected, it was good to leave it up to Kara. It's a sad I can't see Kara all the time."
The chief of maid had a different role from the ordinary maid who was waiting by Ran's side, so Kara and Ran met on business.
Kara added, "Huhu, the grateful Word."
"But there's Soda."
Ran nodded at Kara's words. Now, Soda was quite well treated with the newly introduced maid.
Kara, who was listening next to her, smiled and said.
"Please speak up when you hear it."
"Next time, definitely."
At Ran's words, Kara said, "Oh my!" and said, "Soda will turn red if so."
Just in time, soda came in with some refreshments on the tray and asked.
"What are you saying so pleasantly?"
Ran grinned.
"Eum - Soda is doing great."
The Ran words make soda blushed on the cheeks.
"It, It's grateful."
Kara laughed out loud.
"There are few people who don't change like this. You have Her Highness, and you have an eye for it."
"Kara, rudely."
Soda frowned and quickly put the tray down. Kara smiled and said.
"You're almost done."
"Yes."
Ran lifted the little wool she had put on her lap.
Soda held both hands tightly.
"Oh, my God, this is so cute."
It was a white fur shoe with a teddy bear pattern.
Ran put a pair of shoes on her palm and looked.
"Right? I think it's well-made. This is definitely my preference."
Ran let out a sigh of laughter.
I realized here that I was good at numbers and knitting, and the time to focus on it was quite enjoyable.
"I'm ready to be a normal lady. I'am talented."
"Isn't it a problem that you don't want to?"
The maids bowed quickly to the voices from behind.
"I see the King, Your Highness. May the blue flame bless you."
Eustaf lightly raised his hand and asked for his greeting. Ran looked up, "Are you here?"
"I stopped by to say hello before I left."
"Winter hunting?"
"Yes."
"You're coming this year, too."
"I have to go."
"Have a safe trip, Dad."
At those words, Eustaf had an embarrassing face and then his gaze came to the fur shoes that Ran made.
"That's small."
"Small."
His blue eyes looked at Ran.
"It doesn't matter if you really, really take it easy if you want."
"I am relaxed right now."
After the moon was almost full, I was fooling around with nothing to do. As I worked to fill my empty hands because I was bored, I already had about three pairs of wool shoes and ten handkerchiefs.
She frowned as she put the fur shoes on the table.
"I must be really workaholic."
"Please take a rest.'
"Okay."
Ran nodded, and Eustaf looked at her stomach and said, "In fact, I don't want to leave at this time of year, but·······."
"You'll be right back. And there's still time."
"I'll be back as soon as I can."
Eustaf nodded. Ran added.
"And there will be a new guest today or tomorrow."
"Oh, the Duchess of Cyrus is coming."
It's a grateful guest to come at this time. Kara nodded her head.
"We will serve her without any inconvenience. We have a guest room ready."
Due to Ran's birth time, winter hunting has also been accelerated.
"Then."
After greeting, Eustaf kissed Ran's lips, carefully stroked her stomach, and left the room.
*******
"Give me a greening."
Elegant greetings rang out in the drawing room.
"The essence of green is to you."
After greeting each other, Ran smiled broadly and held out her hand.
"Lizzie!"
"Your Highness."
Elise looked at Ran, holding hands like a little girl.
"I congratulate you."
"You already told me in the letter."
"Still."
Elise peeked at Ran.
"That's weird, why are you so pale?"
"Well, it's rounded up. Besides, my legs are swollen, and when I look, tears come out."
Ran lowered her voice.
"I even go to the bathroom often."
Elise smiled cheerfully, so Ran laughed and sighed.
"I'm glad Liz came."
"It's grateful."
"How's about Duke?"
"Ah-"
Elise grinned.
"I'm having fun. I was wondering what the Marquis and the Duke were like, but they were definitely different. The Duchess."
"Eum, I can imagine Liz being the center of the Imperial community and wielding it wildly."
"Oh my? Your Highness. No way."
Lizzie sighed.
"Your Majesty the Emperor is not married yet."
"What about the Empress dowager?"
"Stand back for the shock of many things."
"Well, I suppose so."
Ran nodded her head.
I already know the story of the imperial family through Nokyeong, but it was fun to hear such a vivid story, not a report.
"What about Baron Joko's parrot? Still?"
"Ah, it flew into a tea party recently and stole a cake and got caught."
"Really? Does the parrot eat cake?"
"It was the nuts. Baroness Joko guided the guests to a salty, newly Made tea room - her parrot was eating nuts on the tart."
"Oh, my gosh."
"That's it."
The two burst into laughter again. said Ran.
"Once again. Thank you for coming, Liz."
"Don't mention it. You'd better be prepared because we'll be around all winter and chat."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Ran grinned.
Time flew by quickly as Elise came.
Eustaf frowned when he Saw Ran greeted him.
"I said you didn't have to come out."
"Yes, but I wanted to come out."
Ran grinned and reached out, Eustaf sighed and hugged her carefully.
I want to avoid hugging her from the front when she's almost done.
The lips that lightly kissed her cheek were cold, so Ran collected the brows.
"It's cold."
"It's winter outside."
"What about Masu?"
Eustaf was on his way back from winter hunting as always. Eustaf shook his head lightly.
"I can't see the Masu anymore. Is it because the darkness is gone? Instead-"
"People?"
"Yes, people and money gather together to create criminals. Even in the middle of winter."
"Isn't the king not supposed to do that?"
Eustaf grinned.
"This is for refreshing."
"Oh, I can see the faces of low-ranking people who are shivering from the bottom."
The king comes to the forefront and hunts and kills criminals.
I can see a cold sweat flowing on the back of the captain of the guard who will run with him.
"Well, it's possible because it's small."
It's the same size as when it was a Duchy, so it was only during the reorganization that was difficult to do business.
There may be a limit to the number of people because it is small, but it was good that administration could reach every corner instead.
"Are you feeling well?"
"No, it's not well. But it's okay as a pregnant woman."
At Ran's words, Eustaf caressed Ran's stomach carefully.
"It's quiet."
"But it's moving a little bit now."
Originally, they said they would hardly move if the birth date was close, and Ran laughed and sighed.
"She must be happy to meet her dad."
"It's amazing that she know my voice."
"Me, too."
Ran nodded her head.
"But I hope she comes out soon."
Just as Ran's words were seeded, all the lights in the Sky mansion were lit at dawn.
Outside the room, Eustaf shuddered whenever a scream exploded inside.
"Your Highness, would you like a tea?"
Elise asked beside. Her face was also full of tension.
Eustaf shook his head.
"No, it's okay."
Ran was doing that, but there was no way anything could go over it.
Then the door opened wide. Kara was tired but said with a smiley face.
"Her Highness is safe. And the princess is safe, too."
"I'm going in-"
Eustaf snooped over her shoulder and Kara raised her finger.
"Just one minute."
Elise was relieved and flopped down on a couch in the hallway. She looked at her watch and said, "But it came out fast. I've heard that it sometimes takes a whole day."
Eustaf waited nervously for the door to open again without answering. I heard it, but I also wanted to check Ran with my eyes.
After a while, the therapist opened the door and told him to come in, so Eustaf quickly went inside.
Ran smiled faintly with a exhausted face.
"Eus."
"Ran."
He held her hand tightly. Ran's right eye veins were all burst. He reached out and carefully swept her eyes, said Ran.
"My face is red, isn't it?"
"It's the prettiest thing in the world."
Eustaf said so and leaned down to kiss her cheek, and Ran smiled lightly.
"Have you seen the baby?"
"Not yet."
When Ran turned her eyes, Dimodia slowly approached her, wrapping the baby in a blanket.
"She's a pretty princess."
Ran felt tears welling up when she saw the baby.
"Hello, baby."
Eustaf carefully accepted the baby from Dimodia. He looked at the baby for a moment as possessed.
Eustaf said in a slightly quivering voice.
"Looks like Ran."
Ran laughed.
"She's not at the stage to look like anyone, Isn't she? Red and ugly. Oh, her hair is black because it looks like Eus."
"No, it's cute."
Strongly, Eustaf said, Ran laughed again.
"If her hair is black······."
What color is her eyes?
Said Kara as she approached.
"It will take longer to know the color of her eyes. Well, I'll keep the baby. You have to rest Your Highness."
"Yes········."
Mumbling, Eustaf said.
"Can I stay with her until she fall asleep?"
"Then you'll see her in the bedroom."
Eustaf nodded at Kara's words.
Holding Ran's hand, Eustaf kissed her on the back of her hand, and Eustaf left the room. Ran sighed as drooping.
She caressed her necklace. The caritol necklace seemed to give off warm energy.
The remaining pain subsided little by little. She nodded when she said it to Haresh, who followed in.
"Caritol has that ability. It's has the ability to heal the wearer."
"I see."
Ran drank the medicine Kara brought and lay down again.
"I'll see if there's any additional bleeding, and then I'll take you to the bedroom. You can tight sleep."
Ran nodded her head.
It wasn't until three or four hours later that Ran lay in her bedroom and was already dozing off.
Eustaf held Ran's hand lying down.
"Go to sleep."
"Yes······ and name."
"I'll think about it."
Eustaf stared at Ran's face as he spoke and fell asleep. Soon after, Ran was completely asleep.
