The old man said that his wife died after giving birth to the youngest child. The old man was a doctor, but he thought that childbirth wasn’t his domain and was not involved. So he called the midwife who had received his earlier children and asked her to help with the youngest.

However, the midwife, who had grown old in the meantime, made a mistake during the birthing process, and his wife died after giving birth.

At first, he thought his wife had a postpartum wind.

His worrisome wife died less than a month after giving birth to his youngest child.

It was only later that he found out that she had an infection during her childbirth, but it was already too late.

“I later found out about this and asked the midwife, but she said it was common and treated me like an idiot who knew nothing.”

The old man lost his beloved wife.

Later, even his beloved first daughter became seriously ill after giving birth to her child because she failed to get treatment.

From then on, the old man recognized that ‘childbirth’ was more dangerous than any other disease or injury and must be more careful.

In fact, it was a little late, and it should have been since his wife died, but he said it was too late, the old man blamed himself.

The old man’s name was Eins Heinstus.

He was the only doctor in the country specializing in childbirth, and with the support of the Prime Minister in Northwest Leshanta, he devoted his energy to nurturing doctors like himself.

When Tamon heard that he was nearby, he invited him, and he ran all the way here without complaining, and told many stories that Tamon was curious about.

“Ha.”

Tamon took a deep dip in the hot water and hit his forehead with his fist.

Just watching Asha suffer from morning sickness was so hard already, and now he found out about how dangerous it was for pregnancy and childbirth.

But the more he knew, the more he felt restless and worried.

‘I’ve been too lazy…’

He seemed to be overjoyed at the news that they had a child. Not only was there a great risk during pregnancy, but the woman’s body had to endure a lot of pain even after giving birth.

The more he knew, the more he felt that it was not something he should just be happy about.

Of course, having a child was such a joy, but to be honest, that little life wasn’t more important than Asha’s.

Even after the child was born, the most important person for him would be Asha.

It was not so pleasant that such a precious Asha, whom he had saved with all his might, had to give birth to a child in pain and danger.

“I’m pathetic….I should have been more careful…”

No, I should have been more careful earlier.

Tamon let out a deep sigh, feeling a deep drowsiness.

“I’m fine, Tamon.”

Asha’s voice came to mind as if to soothe his dying feeling as he felt a heavy weight hung over his head.

“I’m fine enough to desire you like this.”

Asha seduced him.

With her slender hands she wrapped him around him and took his breath away.

Tamon was sucked into the temptation that raged until he couldn’t even breathe.

She swallowed him with her peachy lips and made him enchanted.

It wasn’t enough to overwhelm Tamon with her small and fragile body, but she encouraged him.

“I will not break by this. It’s the life you saved. I am not weak.”

Not weak.

Don’t look at me like I’m weak,

Come on, hug me and feel how strong I am.

“So don’t hesitate and hug me, Tamon.”

So she seduced Tamon, who devoured her like an insane man.

He told himself to be careful about everything, but everything he tasted after a long time shook his control.

However, Asha was really fine.

Fortunately.

As Asha said, she was neither broken nor in pain.

It was hard at first because it was their first physical relationship after a long time, but she was okay with it nonetheless.

Her red lips that were wide open like a ripe pomegranate, the sweet tip of the tongue sticking to his, the sweet breath panting along him, and the red cheeks and neck..

It was all too seductive and sensual to the point of being too much to endure.

Tamon swallowed and tasted her vividly alive with her whole body, her skin, her hands, and her mouth.

As if determined to reassure him, Asha led him with her slender arms and her clumsy touch.

…Ah! She led him!

‘Ah, desired Asha.’

Tamon let out a hot sigh and immersed himself in the bathtub.

Asha was permeated not only in his head but also throughout his body.

Tamon, who was comforting himself with a hot sigh, tilted his head back in disappointment.

He couldn’t even prepare Asha’s dinner properly because he was dealing with guests all day.

What did Asha enjoy doing today?

He was with her every day but always missed her.

‘Asha. My Asha.’

As soon as he imagined her bright purple eyes dyed red, his body quickly heated up.

Tamon felt his muscles tense up and opened his eyes narrowly as if annoyed. Now was not the time to act like a promiscuous beast, but his body did not listen to him.

Tamon, who had been in the water for a while, sighed, slowly got up from the bath. Even the time to worry about this and that was just a waste of time because it was the time away from Asha. A stream of water reflecting the dim light flowed down along Tamon’s prominent muscles.

Tamon, who had lowered his gaze and looked at his taut manhood, muttered angrily.

“…Really, I have no shame.”

Tamon, who was clicking his tongue, was barely able to get out of the bathroom until he splashed cold water on him five or six more times.

After all, it was a really cumbersome body.

When Asha had morning sickness, an hour was difficult, but as her condition improved, a month passed in an instant.

After a short one-month break, it was time for Anna to go back home. Asha couldn’t hide her disappointment, and she looked at Anna after finishing her tea.

“Be careful. Don’t overdo it.”

At Asha’s worried words, Anna laughed out loud involuntarily.“Now who is talking to whom? My friend, I hope you have a pain-free and comfortable trip. It’s a pity that I can’t go with you.”

Anna opened her warm arms and hugged Asha tightly.

Anna was obviously smaller than Asha in her stature, but she strangely felt bigger and warmer in her arms every time.

Asha also hugged Anna tightly, and she kissed her briefly on the forehead.

“When the baby is born, you come again.”

Anna’s eyes widened at Asha’s words, but she smiled broadly and nodded her head vigorously.

“Of course. I’ll take the prettiest shoes and the prettiest hats. Those with huge bells.”

Tanatos people used to give shoes and hats to the baby as the first gift.

In the hope that the baby will always go to a good place, they chose pretty shoes and presented the baby with a white hat, hoping that God’s grace would reach the baby.

There was a superstition that the rounder and prettier the ball of fur on the hat would be, the more conspicuous the baby would be in the eyes of God.

Asha smiled and nodded her head.

She thought Anna would definitely give her baby a gift with a bell bigger than the baby’s head.

“See you soon.”

“Yeah. See you again in good health.”

The two smiled together and greeted each other with a bright voice.

Two of Tamon’s loyal knights agreed to see Anna safely to the capital.

“Lersha, Lersha!”

Anna got into her carriage, holding her pot of herbs, which she had grown like her child in Monstein, in her arms. Asha also smiled and waved her hand to her eternal friend.

….Lersha Lersha.

Asha hoped that her sincerity, which she didn’t say aloud, but repeated over and over in her heart, reached Anna dearly…

‘You must be happy, Anna.’

No matter where you are, with whom you are, and how far away you are.

You will be happy.

Bang!

With a roar hitting the wooden floor, the slender man with his long legs tumbled backwards.

However, because it was an attack that had been prepared in advance, he immediately got up as if he had not taken any damage and rushed towards the opponent immediately.

The snake-like flexible and fast grip technique was Ronasso Bashel’s specialty.

Even when fighting Tamon, he was always confident enough to catch it, but he quickly grabbed the opponent’s collar and threw it towards the wall as if revenge.

“Ha!”

He didn’t have a very big body like Tamon’s, but his power to throw was overwhelming, as if proving that the title of the first knight commander was not for nothing.

The opponent slammed her shoulder against the wall, contorting her face.

Had it been a battle with Tamon, Ronasso would have found a loophole here and attacked more.

But how could he do that to the king?

Ronasso took a deep breath and paused the attack for a moment.

“…Why don’t we stop here, Your Grace?”

At his words, Theoransha struggled to raise her head and stared at Ronasso.

“You’re arrogant.”

Sweat-soaked reddish-brown hair clung to her cheeks.

Annoying heat filled her distorted face. Her freckles, which rose slightly when her fever rose, showed how excited she was. Theo shook her clumped shoulders and mumbled as she quickly rushed to Ronasso.

“Didn’t you say you would do it until one person fainted ?”

Ronasso was having a hard time.

“…But, Your Majesty, I can’t knock out the king, can I?”
