The Sky mansion was considerably expanded. Because of the Ran Boulevard leading to the northern port, there was a large road and village in front of it, and the Sky Mansion built a wall in the rugged land.
Ran was always amazed every time she passed in front of it.
Who's gonna build a village on the ice? I thought so, but when money was involved and needed, people flocked to build houses and villages.
In addition, buildings were built inside Ran Boulevard.
It takes a few days, so an inn was opened as a resting place in the middle.
Of course, it was an inn authorized by the Kingdom of Lazia and was paying rent.
Of course the police station was in there.
As soon as he arrived at the Sky mansion, Eustaf urgently found the therapist, and the Maid changed Ran's clothes and greeted the therapist behind the curtain.
Ran smiled because she thought she knew the answer when she saw the expression of the therapist, who examined Ran with the examination board.
The therapist bowed as her smiled.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
After hearing the words, the maid looked at each other's faces, smiled broadly, and bowed lightly on their knees to celebrate in one voice.
"Congratulations!"
When there was a loud noise inside, Eustaf, who couldn't resist, finally opened the door and came in.
"Is Ran all right?"
Ran grinned and put her fingers on her lips, and everyone left the room with a smile.
Ran slapped her cheeks and came out of the curtain with a dark face.
"Eus."
Eustaf quickly saw the Therapist and the Maid, and his heart sank into Ran's expression and approached her in a flash.
"What's going on? Are you all right?"
"That's-"
Ran bit her lips and gathered her brows to held the grinning laughter, and Eustaf's expression became even darker.
"Ran?"
"I said I wanted to talk to you in person and everyone told me to back off."
Ran took a deep breath.
"Are you-"
Are you sick?, As the question didn't come out well, Eustaf bit his lips. Ran spoke seriously.
"Eus, are you going to get mad if I don't get to work?"
"Of course not."
His voice became lower.
"You can do as much as you need. Ran, what the hell did you say? Is it not good?"
An anxious voice poured out. Ran lifted her heel, kissed him lightly on his lips and whispered.
"Congratulations on becoming a father."
Eustaf's eyes widened. Ran smiled lightly because she had never seen such a blank face.
Still, Eustaf looked like he didn't understand.
"I'm pregnant."
Once again, Eustaf's lips trembled as she talked as if he had a press.
He reached for her hand and repeatedly folded and asked.
"Can I touch it?"
"Of course, right?"
Ran laughed.
"You don't have to ask that already."
Eustaf slowly touched her cheek as if it was thin ice cubes and asked in a tight voice.
"Child."
"Yes."
When Ran spoke again, a short breath burst out of Eustaf's mouth. He leaned his head against her shoulder.
"Ran."
When I heard his trembling voice, Ran hugged him because she thought he would cry.
Eustaf could not bear to hold her face.
"Really, Ran Romia de Lazia-"
The end of the word shook itself. He pushed her away and asked again.
"It's my child."
"Yes."
Ran grinned and Eustaf smiled. It was good to see a face filled with pure joy, his eyes shining with joy.
"Then how long, no-"
"Well? I guess it's been a couple of months. I didn't know until today. My morning sickness is coming all of a sudden. How could this be?"
When he saw Ran snorting, saying it was amazing, Eustaf couldn't stand it and held her hand tightly.
I couldn't get anywhere else.
I always thought she was thinner than me.
But now there is something smaller and more vulnerable.
He spoke in a trembling voice.
"I can't believe it somehow."
"Actually, so do I."
Ran slightly put her hand on her stomach. There's a kid in here.
Eustaf and my child.
Somehow it tickles and makes me feel lovely.
Eustaf couldn't say anything and suddenly thought of it and asked.
"Then can you walk around? Maybe something happened when you went out earlier? Or-"
"Eus, Eus, Eus."
Ran smiled and lightly pressed Eustaf's floundering shoulders.
"It's okay. I can walk around or run. I'm going to work the same way I used to-"
"No, don't."
"Eum, yeah, I'll cut back on my work. Fortunately, there are more people."
Ran smiled and nodded.
In fact, it is the biggest problem until we gather talent, but the advantage of the organizational system is that we know a certain amount of it after we collect it is the advantage of the organization system.
And if you keep the system in place, it will be a good thing to check if the system works well.
Ran nodded with that thought. Although the early days of the establishment were the busiest, Lazia was surprisingly quickly stabilized because it was not achieved through the war.
'The enemy seems to be increasing that fast.'
No country would want the next country to be too rich.
Lazia was bordered by the South and the other by the Empire, the Ice Wall to the North, and the Kingdom of Rochefen to the East.
Rochefen was also a poor little kingdom like Lazia, but as Lazia became a kingdom and wealth overflowed, it became a problem for the people of Rochefen to move to Lazia for work. The Kingdom of Rochefen began to control its borders and imposed excessive tariffs on the top of Romia.
Then Eustaf pinched Ran's nose.
"Eus?"
When Ran was surprised by the noise of her nose, Eustaf let go of her nose and said.
"You're thinking about work."
"Uh-"
"Take a rest now."
"I said I'd cut back on my work, I didn't say I wouldn't."
"Ran."
Eustaf frowned slightly, and Ran sighed quietly.
"Okay."
Well, stability is important in the early stages of pregnancy. Ran nodded convincingly.
And from the 2nd day, I stopped working at once.
'No, can I do this?'
In addition, Eustaf showed up wherever she appeared and followed her.
"Eus, what about the meeting?"
"It will do well without me."
"No, it won't."
Ran said in drooped.
Eustaf groaned and said.
"But I'm nervous about where Ran is."
"I'm a long way off. I'm fine."
When Ran saw him moving her arms and legs around, Eustaf said, "If you move so aggressively-"
Then, Ran opened her eyes wide.
"No, this is really fine."
"I looked into it, too. The kid in Ran's stomach only as big as fingers."
"Eum, It's would, right?"
"So when Ran moves-"
Ran was full of spirit.
"Eustaf Laban de Lazia. You can't control everything about me just because I'm pregnant!"
"It's not about control. If I was trying to control it, I'd have locked it up already. Aren't I just following you around?"
"Oh, no, that's the case."
Then the prime minister came running from over there.
"Your Majesty! what are you doing here?"
"Eustaf·······."
Ran poked him in the ribs and growled.
"I don't think you want to be listed as a monarch of a ruined country because you are so into your wife in the history books."
"I don't."
"Then go ahead. I'll bring Kara and Dimodia on both sides. I'll tell Khan to stay by my side, yes?"
By Ran's persuasion, Eustaf barely fell, and the prime minister said, "Her Highness saved the kingdom." With his words, he dragged the king away.
Ran frowned.
"Is that Eus? Isn't it someone else who's wearing Eus mask?"
Kara laughed and said.
"Because he lost all his family in an accident."
"Ah·········."
Ran took a small breath.
I didn't think of it.
Eustaf's mother was ill and the rest of his family were killed in a carriage accident.
Eustaf say like they're not important, but that's not all.
"Besides, he have had many experiences that almost lost Her Highness. His only family was Her Highness, but now-"
At Kara's words, Ran put her hand on her stomach.
"That's the first blood."
"That's right."
Kara nodded her head.
"But this overprotective is too much."
Ran grumbled and Dimodia said cheerfully.
"But it's been a long break. You'd better rest."
"Yes."
Ran nodded and moved. Kara and Dimodia looked at each other's faces and said, "Your Highness, this is the way to the administration office."
Ran shook her hand.
"Yes, I just need to check."
"That's why His Highness overprotects you."
Dimodia sighed and Kara added a little.
"Workaholic."
Ran kicked her tongue and said.
"And it's strange that I quit my job all of a sudden. Now I'm-"
Ran lowered her voice.
"Pregnant women don't let them leak out."
My behavior suddenly changes like this. You'll notice it right away?
"He's not letting you out. The His Highness actions are, by all appearances."
Kara said with a pathetic face. Ran stepped a little faster.
"Lazia is almost stable now, but there are still some places that are not stable and there are too many enemies. I don't want a child between it anymore."
The creation of a successor means that the throne will be as solid as it is.
Ran sighed.
"The best thing is to pretend nothing happened, but we've already passed that stage."
Kara walked around.
"But is there such a fool? The Sky mansion is like a stronghold now."
"That's true of outside intrusion."
Dimodia spoke sharply.
"Inside?"
"There's been a lot of new people. We're still hiring a lot of new employees. Everyone says they're identifying themselves, but it's actually not easy at this time of course."
In the early days of the establishment of the country, there are many cases in which the government should pass the period.
Ran bit her lips lightly.
"I don't know the faces of the new maidens."
"I think it's weird to know it all."
Demodia rolled her eyes. Ran shook her head.
"No, at least I'm familiar with the face."
She smirked.
"Eustaf is thinking the same thing. I mean, I understand, but that's how it is."
Kara grinned with fox eyes.
"But you like it."
Ran looked back at her with a grimace even though she smiled.
"If a good heart is 10, the difficulty is 90."
As she stood in front of the administration office, the soldier bowed politely and opened the door.
"So I'm going to do what I have to do."
"Who will stop the will of Her Highness?"
Kara laughed.
"His Highness won't be able to stop you either."
*******
After finishing her work in the administrative office, Ran stopped by the cemetery before sunset.
The cemetery, some distance from the mansion, was not that far away. Lazian Patriarch said that life and death are close.
"I thought I'll have to report it."
Ran muttered so much and stood at Lumiere's grave.
Only the name and year of the tomb were engraved on the tomb's, which was neatly trimmed.
"I know you went that way, but It's over here."
Ran took a short breath.
Oh. When will you stop crying?
"Lumie. I hope you're really happy."
Ran said so and put the flowers down. After standing for a while with my eyes closed, Ran turned around.
The white ice wall was reflected in the sunset and shone scarlet.
I stared blankly at it for a moment, and the black dot quickly approached me. He made a shade with his hand and Ran smiled at it.
"Noah."
The dragon was now about the size of a horse. The dragon changed into a human figure.
It was a boy about five or six years old.
It usually takes 30 years to change his appearance, but Noah changed his appearance after three years.
"Ran. I'm here to meet you."
"That's a thank you."
Noah nodded at Lan's words and turned back into a dragon and sat on the carriage Ran had been riding.
In fact, it was one of Noah's favorite things to sit on a running wagon like this and get caught in the wind. Most horses run wild just by approaching him, a dragon, so this kind of wagon play could only be played in the carriage of Ran or Eustaf.
The horses pulling the two wagons were trained because they were warhorse.
Kara muttered when she saw Noah.
"There's no more reliable guard."
"No more."
Dimodia nodded. When Noah was sitting on top of the carriage, everyone in Lazia knew whose carriage it was.
It's must be Her Highness wagon.
So it is easy to be a target, but no one has ever challenged the dragon head-on.
The carriage safely returned to the Sky Mansion amid the cheers and cheers of the citizens.
*******
'No, but that doesn't mean that. What do you mean imprisonment.'
Ran looked blankly out at the veranda, thinking so.
She was now staying in the kingdom's summer villa, 'Tilanoy.'
Ran grumbled.
"Of course I did some work, but this is too much."
"Not one bit too much."
Kara answered lightly with a teapot in her hand.
"Would you like some more tea?"
"Yes."
Ran nodded, and Kara followed the medicine tea and said.
"It's not easy for you to work until dawn."
"It was once."
When Kara raised her eyebrows, Ran murmured, "Uh-two or three times·········," and drank tea.
"It's good to have a rest, but·········."
"If you like it, please enjoy it as you please."
Kara said so and smiled so Ran sighed and opened the letter she was reading.
Instead of Lumiere, she was constantly writing letters to Lily. Announcing his death and adding details, Ran worried that she would believe it.
And even if she believe it, the fact that Lily is now alone in the world remains unchanged.
So Ran wrote to Lily that she should think of herself as a family member and that she would do her best instead of Lumie, and unexpectedly, Lily sent back a soft note.
'How much I cried after reading the letter.'
And as Lily approached her coming-of-age ceremony, she asked if she was allowed to work in the Kingdom of Lazia, and Ran said she was willingness to welcome her.
So Ran was having fun deciding where to stay and decorating where Lily would stay when she came.
'Huh?'
Until I receive today's letter.
'Haresh.'
Lily's letter said, 'Unnie, I like Haresh!' She added, 'It's something I can't tell my brother, but······,' and Ran narrowed her eyes.
'I'm sure Haresch sees Lily as a complete pit?'
The age difference is at least 70 years.
'You can't help yourself.'
Ran nodded her head. Lily is still young, so you'd better try your best whether it's a crush or a relationship.
After all, Ran was enjoying her leisure time because she had had a leisurely time for a long time.
"Oh, I have nothing to do because I'm not working."
Dimodia frowned as Ran stretched and shouted.
"Enjoy your rest."
"Right. You're reading a whole book...huh?"
Ran flinched and Dimodia turned.
"What's the matter?"
"It moved in my stomach·········."
"Oh my?"
Dimodia smiled with sparkling eyes. Somehow Kara flinched away.
Soda lifted her voice. Ran was amazed and touched her stomach.
"Eum, it's moving."
"It's already so active."
"Isn't that average?"
When Ran asked Kara, she nodded her head nodded.
"Since there's children, that's no wonder."
"Um-"
I don't feel that kind of pressure.
Ran smirked, groaned, and got up from her seat. Now the stomach was quiet a bit.
"Then, how about taking a nap?"
Ran smiled and said, so the maid prepared to go to bed quickly.
