You Two Will Give Birth To Me In The Future

Divinity was hereditary, and the ranks of the empire were similar to those of the temple.

My grandfather, the emperor, was a cardinal in the temple, and my aunts and uncles, who were members of the imperial family, also became at least a high-ranking holy official. It meant that everyone had great powers. Since I am not like them, I inherited my father’s place and became the Pope without any special abilities⋯⋯.

“But, why doesn’t His Majesty Fariel have stigma?”

Just in time, the young servant was curious about something similar to me. I thought he looked exceptionally young, but he seemed to be a new employee, who had just come to the Imperial Palace.

“It’s a famous story, don’t you know?”

“Well, in detail.”

“Do you know who His Highness Fariel’s mother is?”

“Ah, did you find out who she is? I heard that she secretly abandoned His Highness in the Imperial Palace and disappeared.”

The young servant shook his head.

“Nothing could be done to keep her identity a secret. Because she was one of the maids of the Imperial Palace.”

‘A maid in the Imperial Palace?’

I blinked at the unexpected identity.

Because Fariel was an illegitimate child, of course, I knew that the mother had a very low status or had some kind of problem. But she was a maid of the Imperial Palace? Doesn’t that mean a new noble family will take over the position of being the Empress?

Moreover, the Empress died while giving birth to Aunt Viola, and Fariel was younger than my aunt. My grandfather didn’t remarry after my grandmother passed away, so the position of the Empress must be vacant.

“Then why did he become an illegitimate child?”

“Shh, lower your voice.”

The new servant hurriedly looked at the door. Checking that it was quiet outside, he whispered secretly.

“His Majesty’s mother was a woman from Ibina.”

“That western city? How did she get here?”

“Obviously, she ran away.”

The servant shook his head.

“Because it’s too old-fashioned for a young woman to live there.”

The newcomer tilted his head as if he did not understand.

“Then why doesn’t she marry His Majesty. Why did she leave His Highness?”

“In Ibina, it is forbidden to marry a foreigner.”

“But His Majesty is the Emperor of the Holy Empire?”

“Isn’t there a saying, ‘the Empire is not above small countries’ for nothing?”

When I overheard the story, I laughed out loud at the part.

Since Fariel was an illegitimate child, I thought my grandfather had an inappropriate relationship. But when I heard it, it wasn’t like that at all.

Ibina is the westernmost of the eight countries that make up the Union. Fariel’s mother seems to have left her family as if she had run away from there. I don’t know why, but there must be something like maybe she didn’t like arranged marriages, or there was a quarrel within her family.

While coming to the empire and working as a maid of the Imperial Palace, she met my grandfather in person.

In the light of the servants’ words, they probably tried to get married. However, she faced opposition from Ibina.

The emperor of the Holy Empire is not an almighty position.

The original text of the phrase ‘the Empire is not above small countries’ that servants ridicule is ‘Empire is not above continents’.

It was the first treaty of the Holy Union.

The process of uniting all the countries of the continent into one was not through a war of conquest. About 300 years ago, in Nasha, the northernmost city on the continent, magical beasts began to overflow. At that time, the country where Nasha was located, Halsterian, requested help from neighboring countries.

However, at that time the continent was in a state of the cold war. Of course, the eight countries, fighting their own battles, rejected Halsterian’s request.

And the downfall of Nasha.

An unprecedented situation occurs in which all humans in Nasha are annihilated.

At the time, Nasha was the second largest city in the country. The beasts that slaughtered all the humans there, where countless people built houses and cultivated the land, lived vigorously, flooded the border country of Halsterian, Genas, and soon spread across the continent.

It was then that other countries realized that the situation was serious. The countries joined hands with Halsterian under the ideology of ‘All human beings on the continent are children of the Holy God.’ And until Nasha is completely rescued, a treaty of unification is signed that nullifies the border.

However, Nasha has not been rescued for 300 years, and the treaty still exists.

300 years ago, Yehad, who was holding the role of supreme of the continent at the time, became the head of the Holy Union. In the year of proclaiming unification, the Emperor of Yehad promised to respect the cultures and laws of the seven countries.

So, no matter who the Holy Emperor is, if the King of Ibina opposes the marriage, saying that it is their law, he has no choice but to obey.

Each of the countries, including Yehad, preserved their own laws and cultures like one country. Respect and balance were like the foundation for forming the Holy Union.

‘Even if it means making a son an illegitimate child.’

Perhaps at that point, Fariel’s mother could no longer stay in the Empire. I don’t know exactly what happened when she returned to Ibina, but it was probably after she arrived home that she found out that she was pregnant.

So, she gave birth to the emperor’s child alone and entrusted the child to the imperial palace. I don’t know if that’s her decision or her family’s.

“But when His Highness came to the Imperial Palace, he was already over 2 years old.”

“Infant baptism can only be received up to the age of 2⋯⋯.”

That’s why Fariel was the son of the Emperor of the Holy Empire, yet he became a single believer without stigma.

In this country where rank and divinity are proportional, what a subtle position it must have been to be a prince without stigma.

I knew that feeling better than anyone.

“That’s sad.”

The newcomer muttered a little. But the inexperienced servant snorted as if it were funny.

“It’s unfortunate for him. Who do you sympathize with now?”

“That’s right⋯⋯.”

As I watched the servants start cleaning again, I suddenly came to my senses.

“Yeah. I’m not in a position to feel sympathy for Fariel.”

If Fariel had known, he would run around, wondering if a witch would have sympathy for me.

I closed my eyes and slowly recovered my mana. Even if I say I can draw a magic circle by getting Sepia, I can’t use magic without mana.

As I focused my mind with all my heart, I felt my mana core filling up little by little.

***

I was taking a nap after lunch, and the door opened, so I wondered if my dad was there. I looked up happily, but a little girl came into the room with my dad.

Upon discovering her, my eyes widened as I ran away. I knew we would meet soon, but knowing it with my head and actually going through it felt different.

“Is everything okay?”

“Yes, your highness.”

While Dad and Nanny Linda were greeting each other, a girl approached the crib.

About 11 years old? She had fine platinum blonde hair fluttering from her shoulders and was as pretty as a doll, with a new blue ribbon on her head to match her eye color. The girl, who walked at a fast yet slow pace, grabbed the baby crib railing, greeted me with her refreshing sparkling sea-colored eyes.

“Hi.”

After licking her lips, she added.

“My name is Viola.”

The child who said so was bright and lovely without wrinkles. I didn’t see her as a person, who comforted me until our last moment, someone who would die such a strong and sad death. I felt like crying.

‘Aunt Viola.’

“Oh my gosh, she’s so cute⋯⋯.”

My aunt complimented me and introduced herself, putting her arm on the railing of the crib and sticking her head close to me. Whenever she blinked, her long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies.

“Can I hug her?”

My aunt looked back and asked like a person, who just asked an important question. After talking to the nanny, my dad approached us.

“Well⋯⋯.”

Dad glanced at me with slightly worried eyes.

“I won’t drop her.”

“The baby is very shy.”

My aunt used honorifics for my dad. I watched the conversation between the two, who did not act like siblings.

“When I first hugged her, she cried out loud and I struggled to soothe her.”

‘Struggled⋯⋯.’

I remembered that day. The touch of my dad, who hugged and patted me when I burst into tears after I met my dad. I’m a little ashamed of crying like a baby, but I tilted my head when I thought that my dad had struggled to comfort me and to say that he went through hardships. I thought you were just calmly hugging me with an expressionless face.

“She cried a lot because she was hugged by my older brother.”

My aunt looked at me as if she felt sorry for me. She fixed her eyes on me and spoke in a soft voice.

“I don’t look like my brother and I look gentle, so I’ll be fine.”

“⋯⋯.”

Dad looked down at the side of my aunt’s face.

A cute little eleven-year-old princess and an 18-year-old prince who is still in his childhood. The scene where two children of the Imperial Family, who resembled each other, were together seemed like a painting. Both of them are precious and respectful people to me, so just watching them live and talk honestly made my heartache.

“Here we go.”

Meanwhile, my aunt reached out to me. She put her small hand under my armpit and held me tightly.

“Please support her butt with your hand.”

My aunt was coached by the nanny and held me stably in her arms. I was so happy and liked this moment, so I laughed, and my aunt’s face brightened.

“Look at this. You like me.”

“This can’t be⋯⋯.”

Their voices sounded like a dream.

‘If you succeed in this spell, this will all be gone. You can go back to the past and start over.’

My aunt didn’t say anything wrong.

Our past really didn’t happen.

‘It’ll be okay, you can do it⋯⋯.’

It was true that I could do it.

“Dodaoyo.”

‘Thank you.’

As I mumbled to myself, my aunt laughed as if I was cute.

“She’s mumbling. I guess I’m recognized as a good person.”

“I think she’s telling you to let her go.”

I buried my head in my aunt’s shoulder. I made an oath alone to the young princess, who didn’t know anything yet.

‘I’ll protect you this time.’

So those innocent and clear eyes are not stained with blood and betrayal.

This peace was even more precious because it was hard to get.

TL/N: Okay, in chapter 11 it stated that the Union is made up of 8 nations instead of 9 like here, but both translations seem correct. So if either translation gets proven incorrect, I’ll make a translation note on it
