The first task of the new year was to see the lords of Agartha who came to greet the new year. In the Juka period, the nobles always greeted the king at the beginning of the year, but I had unintentionally forgotten to set a date to see them. The lords ended up coming to the capital on the 5th of the New Year according to the old custom of the Jukan era, while I was completely off duty until the 3rd, which caused a bit of confusion. I regret it.

I am glad at least that the lords were open-minded and no one complained to me about it.

I politely entertained Heedata, Niza, and the emissary from the Duchy of Bithos, who had already been scheduled since last year, in the guest house\'s accommodation area. As expected, the sophisticated interior decorations produced by Rico and the hospitality that Soleil and the other guests had prepared with their wisdom were all well-received, and they seemed to like the food we served quite a lot.

Incidentally, the merchants who accompanied the emissaries of the Principality of Bithos left the capital on their way home, saying that they would like to increase their trade from once a year to several times a year. They have cheese and other products there, as well as very elaborate handicrafts. I am sure that Rico, May, Peris, and the others will be pleased to see the expansion of trade.

And two of the seven houses of the lords who disobeyed me came to pay their respects. One of them was the Count of Saracenia. He greeted me plainly and thanked me for the care my daughter had received. Perhaps he was worried about his daughter and came to see her. The other did not try to hide the fact that he had come to scout the city and was looking around the city as if he were licking his lips. I was not in a good mood, but I decided to leave him alone.

In the meantime, I went to the Imperial Majesty\'s office to wish him a Happy New Year. I went there privately to avoid the time of the nobles\' gathering, but His Majesty was looking forward to Rico\'s child. And to my surprise, Queen Taunzet had knitted a woolen hat for the child.

"Your Majesty, I\'m so grateful..."

"Townsend is also looking forward to the birth of a child, Lord Linos. After all, a girl could be the future queen of the Arrows.

Your Majesty, you can\'t just give birth to a...

No, it is better to decide these things at the beginning.

"But the doctor says it might be a boy."

"Then that\'s a big deal. An heir to Agartha will be born. That\'s a good thing. The Arrows and I can help each other.

"Your Majesty..."

Since the birth of the child, this man has become a complete parental idiot. When I told this story to Rico, she laughed out loud.

Rico\'s due date was approaching. I took all possible precautions and put Loni of Posehay under house arrest. I put her under house arrest, but with three meals and snacks. I had her stay by Liko\'s side so that she could give birth at any time.

However, three days past the due date, there were no signs of the baby being born at all.

"...everything is fine..."

Liko sighs while holding her big belly.

The first time you give birth, it is very common to go past your due date. Don\'t worry."

Roni encourages me with a smile.

"He really loves his mommy, doesn\'t he?"

The three of us laughed together.

However, a week passed the due date and there was no sign of delivery. As expected, Roni did not hide her impatience. She placed a stethoscope-like object on Liko\'s stomach and looked at me anxiously while examining her.

"I checked the baby\'s heartbeat, and it\'s very strong, as if she hasn\'t been in her stomach for a week. However, the longer we wait, the worse it will be for the baby itself, and most importantly, the head will be too big for it to be born. I am very sorry, but if there are no contractions by tomorrow morning, please allow me to prescribe a medicine to induce labor."

All I could do was nod.

Rico and I spent the rest of the day patting her belly. And at night, as I slept with Rico, I continued to stroke her belly.

"... Rinos, wake up. Please wake up."

"...Yeah, what? Rico?"

He fell asleep while stroking her belly. When I opened my eyes, Rico\'s lovely face was there.

"I feel a little pain in my tummy," she said.

"Are you coming, by any chance?

"No. I don\'t know. It doesn\'t hurt that much.

I rush downstairs to wake up Loni, who is sleeping. She came running in right away.

"...I think I\'m going into labor. Could you please come downstairs to my room?"

I took Rico\'s hand and we went downstairs to the first floor room. Roni is getting ready quickly and efficiently. I ask her if I can help,

"I\'m fine. I\'m not in full labor yet. You can stay with me for a while.

I took him at his word and cuddled up to him, holding his hand. And the morning came.

"I\'m going to tell everyone that I think I\'m going into labor," she said.

I asked Roni to take care of Rico and headed for the dining room.

Everyone was excited to hear that Rico was going into labor.

"This is it! Master!"

Ferris comes up to me with a twinkle in his eye.

"Yes, it\'s finally happening."

While we were all talking about this, Roni came into the dining room.

She said, "I\'m having contractions. Please prepare what I\'m going to tell you.

Okay, I\'ll do it.

I\'m heading to Agartha. Let me know if you need anything.

I will go to Krumphal and tell him.

Hearing Loni\'s words, everyone moves in unison as if they had already had a meeting. They make decisions on their own in an instant and move very efficiently with only a short exchange of words. Even after all this time, I\'m still amazed at what an amazing family we have.

I head downstairs to Rico. She is in the throes of labor.

"Rico..."

"I... I\'m... I\'m... I\'m fine."

"You got it, Rico."

"Leave it to me... please. I\'ll make sure... I\'ll make sure the baby comes out safely.

I take Rico\'s hand and rub his back.

"Master Linos, I\'m sorry, but we have to prepare for the birth. Please wait outside the room.

Loni, Luara and Peris were waiting behind her with hot water and their luggage. I did not want to leave, but Rico\'s gentle smile pushed me to leave the room.

The child was not born, and it was what is called a difficult birth. I went to Rico\'s room again and again, but I was afraid to go inside. Occasionally, I could hear Riko\'s screams, and I had no choice but to hang around in front of her room.

At night, no child was born. Everyone was gathered in the dining room, but no one opened their mouths. All of us turned to the room where Rico was.

I was unconsciously chanting the Heart Sutra in a pose as if I were praying to God. Actually, I had a difficult delivery. At that time, I heard that my grandma was chanting the Heart Sutra. Thanks to that, I was born safely and my mother was also safe. I suddenly remembered such a past life.

"Because there is no income, because Bodhisattva depends on Prajnaparamita, because there is no obstruction, because there is no fear, because there is no obstruction, because there is no fear, because there is no fear, because there is no obstruction, because there is no fear, because there is no fear, because there is no fear, because there is no obstruction, because there is no fear, because there is no fear, because there is no obstruction, because there is no fear, because there is no obstruction, because there is no obstruction.

I chant the sutra with all my heart. How many times have I chanted this sutra? Then, when the sky began to turn white, Roni appeared in the dining room.

"...The baby is born. Both you and the child are safe. Congratulations!

No one speaks a word. Everyone just exhaled slowly. I could feel the tension that had been gripping the dining room rapidly relaxing.

Not bothering to wipe away the tears that were welling up in my eyes, I let Loni lead me downstairs to Rico.
