Chapter 571 – 164. Eirin and Lilia’s Sincerity. And What About the First Wife? (2)
“Something feels strange. Sitting side by side like this and taking a bath together.”
At Eirin’s words, Lilia smiled.
In recognition of her merits during her time, Eirin was elevated in her rank from a commoner to a noble in Essenmund.
Even though she perishes, Eirin is also from the royal family of Gloria Kingdom.
Lillia shook her head in response.
“Eileen Gloria. As she is also a descendant of a great family, there is nothing awkward about taking a bath with me.”
Lilia, now aware of the fact, also pointed it out. And she said
“And in fact, each other’s status doesn’t matter. The two of us are united here with only one mind.”
It was not a word mixed with pretense.
Like Eirin, Lilia would know it well.
Whichever of them gets pregnant with Julian’s first child.
That the work itself is a very important thing to prevent the end of Island.
No matter how competitive these two are.
She couldn’t prioritize her selfishness when the fate of that human race was at stake.
‘Okay. Even if Lilia becomes her first wife…She deserves it.’
And vice versa.
No matter how little ago Lilia acknowledged her own identity.
There was no comparison between Lilia’s Asterisk family and Eirin’s Gloria family.
A great bloodline from the Old Empire era.
The family lined by blood is the Asterisk family and the Reinhardt family. And only the Orhein family.
Even in that great family, Lilia rose to the position of emperor.
Even so, the fact that she allowed her to take a bath together with Ei-rin alone, with her naked body.
Lillia also acknowledged that Ei-Lin deserved to be her first wife.
She, who had been Yulian’s only fiancée for a long time, was her word.
Ei-rin, lost in thought for a moment, opened her mouth.
“It would be a lie if there were no regrets for each other. But now I know too. Lilia isn’t your first person either…”
“She says, first and foremost, that she wants to be the one to give it all to?”
At that, Ei-rin nodded her head.
The reason why both of them want to be Julian’s first wife.
I want to be the first to give rather than the first to receive.
In fact, Lillia had already intended to give her empire to Yulian.
To her, her emperor, her empire is all her Lillia has.
Erin was the same.
Until now, Eirin has thoroughly maintained the mindset of a maid.
Because she, as a maid, wanted to give all of her life to Yulian.
“I’m sure they both felt the same way.”
The two people Eirin mentioned, Lillia recognized right away.
“Are you talking about the Great Saint Agnes and the cold-hearted demon king Lucifer?”
“Yes. Those two who are your parents.”
At those words, Lillia was also silent for a moment.
We already know the anecdote of the two through the Pantheon’s music play.
And about the work of those two, Yulian told me more details.
Agnes and Lucifer.
Although the period when the two met together, confirmed their love, and stayed as a couple was very short.
One is the only daughter of the Marquis and a candidate for the next saintess.
And the other side shed even the identity of the demon king and the two fell deeply in love.
And the two who knew the future, willingly gave their lives for their child, Yulian.
Three people leaving here today.
Also, the final destination for Yulian’s army waiting in the primeval forest is Guhwangdo.
“Agnes-sama and Lucifer-sama sealed the fifth Keiatic Gate with their lives. All for Julian-sama…”
And the two of them right now are the ones who can relate to the feelings of those two people more deeply than anyone else.
The two of them were also able to dedicate their lives not only to Julian but also to their new child.
“…”
“…”
Another silence fell between the two.
But the heart was the same.
Eirin and Lilia gently held each other’s hands as if shaking hands.
Only the World Tree knows which of the two is pregnant.
That means that one of them must be pregnant.
Lillia spoke again first.
“Whoever gets pregnant will be Yulian-sama’s child. So he’s a harem child. They are our children.”
“You’re right. Whether it’s me or Lilia… Both of them are the child’s mother.”
Although the two of them were fighting so much.
The last 6 days.
And through the last night, I confirmed it more clearly than anyone else.
That all three of them are sincere with each other.
So, Eirin and Lilia’s feelings too.
It was one now.
Erin said with a smile.
“Then let’s congratulate each other, Lilia!”
“Yes. Eirin. I do.”
Lilia looked at her and laughed together.
The two washed their bodies and came out of the bath.
They were dressed in the priestly clothes prepared in this place, the temple of the World Tree.
“You have arrived.”
Then, the two of them moved to the center of the temple together with Yulian.
***
I stood between the obelisks with the two of them.
Black and white. The Obelisk of Jedin and Unir.
The world tree was created by growing roots and stems from the obelisk.
Woo woo woo woo-
The obelisk was trembling as if talking to three people.
I closed my eyes for a moment.
‘Could this be the Old Emperor?’
The world tree was sharing a view with his party.
The World Tree known to the Empire is a gigantic tree that exists only in primeval forests.
And in an age when the awareness of the demons was extremely bad, it was known as the source of corruption.
In fact, very few people knew what it was.
The roots of the World Tree were far beyond the area of the primeval forest and were affecting all of Island.
So, the roots of the world tree extending to Guhwangdo show the current landscape.
Old Hwangdo had already turned into a demonic land that could not be called Island.
A monster full of magic in all directions.
It was not an ordinary monster that imitated a monster, but a transcendent monster that was close to an apostle with magical powers at its peak.
And in the center of the old imperial map, a huge barrier came into view.
It is already on the brink of destruction due to numerous cracks, so it only barely maintains its shape.
It’s the first time I’ve seen the barrier in person.
Its presence alone made it clear what it was.
‘Is that the barrier that my parents gave their lives for?’
And I felt that the roots that stretched out to Guhwangdo were drying up in an instant.
It wasn’t just the bad luck.
Inside the barrier, a resurrected Knoia existed.
That Knoia, mimicking the World Tree, was constantly covering the roots of magical power in Island.
And in that moment I felt
That Knoia is also keeping an eye on me.
– Kkeukkeuk. Are you still dreaming in vain?
The will of that ridicule was transmitted to me.
I opened my eyes again.
“It is not a dream. That is the future I will create anew.”
The moment he said that, the world tree took away the shared vision again.
I held both hands at the same time.
“A future where all mankind can understand each other sincerely, instead of vain hatred and anger.”
At those words, Eirin and Lilia also held my hands tightly.
The world tree shared once again.
I told them both.
“No matter what the decision is, I love them both.”
At that, both of them had a beautiful smile that they had never seen before.
The two of them moved forward.
The soft stems of the World Tree made a special throne for the two of them.
The two sat on the throne.
The World Tree conveyed its will.
A crown of golden leaves of the world tree will rise on the head of the lover who is pregnant with my child.
Eirin and Lilia closed their eyes.
After a brief silence that felt like an eternity, even though it was very brief.
A crown was summoned above one’s head and shone brightly.
The owner of the crown was Eirin.
***
All three of them couldn’t stop their surprise for a moment.
The chosen child’s mother.
And the crown of the World Tree confirming my first wife.
The meaning was clear.
My subconsciousness and instincts chose Eirin as my wife for an eternal future.
‘I see. The person I loved the most was Eirin.’
Julian von Reinhardt.
The person who will not only become the hostess of the Reinhardt family, but will also be with me forever, who will later become the god of the new era.
That person was Erin.
‘Then Lilia…’
At that moment, I met Lilia and her eyes.
A dog-like fiancée with soft, gentle eyes.
I saw her eyes quiver.
However, Lilia soon smiled the bright smile I knew and held Eirin’s hands tightly.
“Eirin! Congratulations! A divine child to prevent the apocalypse… Eirin is finally… Our very precious child…”
I was surprised to hear that it was our child.
Everyone will be my wife.
It is not wrong to say that Eirin’s child is also Lilia’s child after all.
But not the child she will give birth to.
Considering the many secret struggles that take place in the noble lineage.
The sincerity and congratulations from Lilia to Eirin right now were unbelievable.
‘Lilia is sincere.’
Although I have read the sadness of not being the first wife.
Soon, even that sadness was covered by Lillia’s sincere congratulations.
Now, the world tree’s will was telling her that her feelings were true.
I was so grateful to Lilia, but at the same time I felt sorry.
‘Lilia…’
Eirin seemed to feel the same way as me.
Unable to rejoice, he held Lilia’s hand tightly.
He continued to make an expression of concern for Lilia.
After all, both of them were full of qualifications to be first wives.
So I suddenly felt the joy of becoming a father and the feelings of sorry at the same time.
But it was just then.
“Lilia? Wait! Even on Lilia’s head…”
Eirin screamed in surprise.
At those words, I hurriedly looked at Lilia.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Above Lillia’s head, the crown of the World Tree, identical to Eirin’s, was being summoned.
