Chapter 102 – Lennon Reichhart
Life after marriage could be said to be quite satisfactory.
A beautiful husband and a luxurious mansion.
Night life in a luxurious mansion.
And a husband who loves me.
These three conditions completely changed my daily life and gave me the feeling of happiness.
“Honey, Rania kicked me now!”
“I felt it too.”
Ranel was still doing nothing but putting his ear to my stomach every day, as if it was amazing that I was still pregnant.
He watched Rania’s eyes widen when she moved or kicked her feet and stroked her belly with wonder and love.
“I want to see you soon.”
“Me too.”
It is said that giving birth to a child is painful, but is the pain important when you are giving birth to the fruit of your love with him?
At first, I thought to myself that the prince was just a strange guy, but after guarding him for several months and seeing his human side, I was slowly changing.
Until I got married, I wasn’t sure if I liked this person’s body or if I loved them all, but after spending a happy time together, I was sure.
That I love him and that I love my child.
“But since she’s your daughter, you said you’d raise her to be a knight, right?”
“Huh? “Maybe it’s because all the women in our family have received knight training?”
Ranel hugged me tightly without saying a word, as if she felt something regretful.
“I promise you one thing.”
“What?”
“If Rania doesn’t want to do it, I won’t force her.”
Even though it’s a family business… I don’t mind giving it up for my child.
Anyway, I will be the future head of the family and I have to protect my daughter…
So we lived a happy life together, envisioning our future together.

“Les, Lennon? What kind of letter can you see with that kind of expression…”
“No… This doesn’t make sense.”
As I was reading the contents of the letter, I dropped the letter to the ground in disbelief.
Ranel picked up the letter I dropped for me and checked its contents.
As soon as he checked the letter, he immediately raised his eyes, raised his hand to his mouth, and looked at me as if asking me what to do.
Tears flowed from her eyes.
“Lennon… Are you okay?”
“Uh, mother…”
My mother passed away.
Her mother, who had always been strong and an example to others, suddenly parted ways with her world.
Her mother’s cause of death was excessive bleeding.
To be more precise, knights were sent to stop the demons suddenly flocking to the kingdom a few months ago.
Among them, of course, my mother, the leader of the Reihart Knights, also participated.
And today I heard the news of her mother’s death.
The unprepared breakup made me confused, and even though I had a child in my stomach, I couldn’t stop the sadness that came and started to let it out.
“Lennon…”
As I stood still and started to shed tears, Ranel slowly put his hand on my back and slowly hugged me.
The warm and steady sound of my heartbeat calmed me down.
“It’s okay to cry… I’ll keep hugging you. “You try to carry it alone, Lennon.”
“Huh, huh…!”
This day was the second most tearful day in my life.
That evening…
“Honey.”
“Ranell…?”
It was a moment when I was able to forget my sadness for a moment as Ranel, dressed in a strange butler uniform, tempted me on the bed, saying he would comfort me.
Afterward, I had a lot of work to do in connection with her mother’s death, so I had a hard time for a few days, but I was less tired because Ranel was by my side.
After her mother’s funeral was completed… I was selected as the next leader of the Reihart Knights.
However, since I was currently pregnant, the appointment ceremony as leader had to be postponed for a while.
I thought it would be bad for the child if I moved my body and took charge of housekeeping while the child was present.
Since then, demons have continued to attack the kingdom, but except the Reihart Knights, the Hawks Knights and the Draco family have stopped us, so we were able to live comfortably until we gave birth.
As time passed, the day finally came when I could see my child.
“Ugh!!! Why does this hurt so much!!!!”
It hurts like crazy.
I remember the first time I was cut by a knife, it wasn’t this much pain.
The pain felt as if a Minotaur was pulling and tearing my lower body from both sides.
The priests and nuns feel my pain, so they are frantically trying to save both the child and me.
On the contrary, the pain of repeatedly tearing and regenerating my lower body hurt so much that I almost lost my mind at times, but I gathered all the strength I had from breastfeeding with the thought that I had to save Rania.
“Keueuuuuu!!!”
The cloth I was holding in my mouth must have been torn, and before I knew it, I felt like I was chewing on my teeth.
The front of my eyes started to look red, probably because they were bloodshot.
“It’s coming out!”
I squeeze every last bit of strength into my body.
The tearing pain and stiffness that I had felt until now disappeared in an instant.
“Aaaaah!”
“Congratulations? “You are a beautiful daughter.”
“Thank you… Thank you.”
At this time, I don’t know if I was grateful to the priest or the nun, but I felt grateful for everything in the world.
Soon, when the angel wrapped in a white cloth was placed in my arms, happiness flooded me and tears flowed.
This child is my child.
The child in my arms is the fruit of love and a treasure that cannot be replaced even if I give everything in the world.
As she was crying loudly while holding her child, Ranel, who had heard that she had given birth safely, ran to me and held her child in his arms.
“Thank you, Lennon… I love you.”
“Me too.”
I was on the verge of fainting from exhaustion, but I somehow came to my senses and locked lips with Ranelle.
***
Parenting is hell.
No, it was a complex hell mixed with hell and heaven where I could watch Angi grow up.
Ranel couldn’t sleep and was comforting Rania because she was crying all the time.
I felt sorry for Ranel because there were dark circles under her eyes.
“Ranelle, I’ll take care of it now, so get some sleep.”
“No… It’s because I want to raise my child myself.”
In fact, she could have left it to a maid or her butler, but Ranel was stubborn and insisted that she raise her and take care of her childcare.
At first, I made many mistakes as it was my first time taking care of a child, but now I was holding Rania in a stable position.
‘Rania… Your dad is going through such a hard time, but you have to grow up to be good.’
“Lennon, go to sleep quickly. There is an inauguration ceremony for the Knight Commander tomorrow.”
The day has come when I will take over the vacancy in knighthood created by her mother’s death.
In fact, I am far behind my mother in terms of skills, but I can confidently say that the strategy and swordsmanship skills I learned from her mother are not average.
Now I have children and a husband to protect, so I will do my best to protect them.
The next day, I was inaugurated as the Commander of the Reihart Knights in front of the Queen.
Behind me, numerous knights were holding swords and leaning on their shoulders.
From now on, I will be a commander who commands those people and a knight on the battlefield.
Due to the current situation, I can’t come by the house often, but I still love my husband and daughter.
After being appointed as the leader of the knights, I personally trained the knights under me and went to the front lines of the kingdom.
I thought it was too much for a woman who gave birth less than a year ago, but I endured it because I had to protect my husband and daughter.
Miss you. I’m dying to see my husband and daughter.
“Captain, are you looking at family photos again?”
“Of course.”
“Ha, the prince’s wife is really the captain…”
In fact, the knights of our knighthood didn’t know at first that I was married to Ranel.
No, ordinary citizens do not know that Prince Ranel is married.
Is it true that in the first place, this marriage was a sudden marriage of Ranel’s choice, and the child was born so quickly that there was no time to announce it?
At first, I was drawn to Ranel and married her, but now I can’t live without Ranel.
I want to go home quickly.
“I’ll get married someday, right?”
The blue-haired woman looked at me like she wanted to marry me.
“Maybe I should do it, Lacthea? “It would be pitiful to live your whole life without having children.”
“Won’t it hurt?”
“It fucking hurts.”
It hurt a lot. I said everything because the pain was so bad that I couldn’t walk properly for a while.
“The more it hurts, the more I love my children.”
“Does pain mean love?”
“You could say so… But what are you doing if you’re not training?”
Hehe… Dehe!?”
Why are you looking at this?
“Sing everyone above you and below me.”
A knight with the last name of Lacthea stuck his head in the ground for an hour today.
I want to see you soon, Ranel.
Until then, I thought our love would have a happy ending.
