Chapter 25

Then, the seasons changed, and Corinna safely gave birth to a healthy child. It was a boy The whole Heres family and relatives were overjoyed. Albert felt annoyed while thinking that his father's military training ramblings would start again, but it was so nice seeing Corinna with a happy smile that he decided not to pay any heed to it. After all, the child would decide his own path.

Would he turn into a military officer and uphold their household name, or turn out to admire the civil officer career while observing his own father who would probably be the Prime Minister by the time he had grown up, or even take a completely different path?

If possible, Albert wished his son would inherit Corinna's character more than his and become a gentle child. He thought about that and laughed while holding his baby that felt so fragile and light as a feather in his arms.

A few months later, the royal joint wedding ceremony sponsored by the kingdom was held. Albert, as one of the participants, became deeply moved by it, but that's another story.

Corinna eventually gave birth to four children. The second one was a boy, and the Heres family was joyous again. When the third came and it was also a boy, Albert did not overlook Duran's eyebrows, that even though looked happy, dropped down just for a second.

Then, when the fourth one was born, it was a girl. Duran, who said "Huh, a girl?", was the same person that wouldn't hand over the baby to Corinna and Albert.

"See that? I told you. Dad really loves his little girl."

When Albert whispered quietly to Corinna's ears, Corinna looked down and hid her smile. Curiously observing the first girl to be born in their family, the three brothers showed an expression filled with happiness.

Watching the happy scene, Corinna touched Albert's head, who was sitting next to her. She felt a little numbness. Albert, who had become the Prime Minister, was extremely busy. He couldn't afford to spend time with his own family. Even so, if just for a short while, even if it was just one hour, he would return to Corinna at night.

Corinna's hands were always there for Albert. She loved her children dearly but she had decided that her number one would be Albert from the day they married.

Perhaps noticing her gentle gaze, Albert looked back at her and smiled.

The eldest son and the second son, who had grown up quite a bit, looked at each other after witnessing their parents usual lovey-dovey atmosphere and shrug their shoulders.

From an early age, they understood how much she pampered their father. When their father came home, no matter how much they pleaded, she always went to his side. They thought it was something it was meant to be, but as they grew up, they realized their parents had a special relationship.

Honestly, they were a little dissatisfied with their father who hardly cared for them and wouldn't leave work because he was too busy. But the boys would always lose while arguing with him, the current Prime Minister of the Kingdom. And so, the oldest and the second son gave up. However, the third son, who was still young, showed signs that he inherited their father's brilliance, he had a sharp mind that wasn't ordinary. His older brothers had high expectations that the third son would be the one to beat their father.

For the time being, they felt that there would be tough days ahead as everyone, including their grandfather and grandmother, would compete to welcome their youngest sister to their family for the first time, and in that peaceful atmosphere, they were already trying to restrain a few people with their stares and protect her.

Not knowing that such a silly and cute battle had just begun, Albert and Corinna laughed peacefully.
