The doctor's voice filled the bedroom. Anna removed her hand from her face and cried out with a twitching expression of joy.
"Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. The two of you are so close that I thought I'd hear from you soon!"
Julia pulled away from Endymion, dazed.
"Now, what..."
"Pregnancy! You two have children!"
The doctor and Anna shouted in unison. Only then did Julia understand the situation and cover her mouth with her hand.
"Oh..."
Julia felt overwhelmed with emotion. As she relaxed, her eyes suddenly became hot, and her vision became blurry.
"Ah. What if we cry over such good news? We have to dance!"
Anna shook her head and took the papers out of her arms.
"When you passed out, the doctor came to ask for advice on the results of the examination. I don't think you're in full body, but the overall numbers are a bit subtle."
In front of Julia, who was sniffling. Anna began to explain eagerly.
She looked into it, and it seemed that the Queen's magic interfered with the examination.
"This is often found in the pregnancy of a wizard, where magic protects the womb by blocking all external stimuli. So, as long as there is no special problem with the Queen's health, the baby will be fine."
Anna finished explaining that she would deliver the relevant data to the doctor. The doctor said he would prepare everything he needed right away
"Thank you... Yes, please do that."
Julia replied with a red-hot face and looked at Endymion, who hadn't said a word before.
"Your Majesty."
"..."
His flower-like face was hardened.
"Your Majesty?"
Julia took Endymion's hand, puzzled. Then, his motionless blue eyes slowly moved to look at her
"Your Majesty, why is that..."
Warak.
Endymion hugged Julia tightly. His arms tightened as if he were holding on to something precious.
"Thank you."
His voice was low and trembling slightly. At first glance, she could feel that he was overjoyed, and a smile spread across Julia's face.
"Well, we're going to leave."
When the doctor and Anna, who had been watching happily, left, the room became quiet. But Endymion felt more tense in his arms.
"Mion, why are you so nervous?"
Julia asked with a smile. She whispered softly, her face resting on his stiff shoulders. And Endymion hugged her tightly and muttered.
"What starts... I don't know what to do first. Is there anything you want?"
He had been waiting for his child for a long time, but it didn't seem to be real when it became a reality. It was a child who came at an unexpected moment, so it was understandable.
"What?"
"Then tell me anything. I'll save you right away."
"No, there is no such thing. I just need to be by your side."
Julia kissed Endymion's stiff shoulder, saying affectionately. Finally, his tense muscles relaxed.
"Then, when will we tell our family?"
Julia smiled as she made eye contact with Endymion, who slowly released her. He wiped the corners of her wet eyes with a stern face.
"Wait a minute. Wait a little longer... I can't believe it."
"Yes, yes."
So cute. Julia chuckled.
'I thought it was an incurable disease until now, but it quickly became heaven.'
Hia mood was as excited as if he was floating on a cloud.
Julia, who was surprised by the sudden news of her pregnancy, was the same. Still, she sensed that she was in a different physical condition, and she was quick to accept it, but Endymion still couldn't believe it.
"Your dad should admit it quickly. Isn't it?"
Julia laughed mischievously, placing his large hand on her belly. As the warmth covered her stomach, she felt even better.
But Endymion was lost in thought, his face blank.
"First of all, yes, I have to declare it a national holiday."
"National holiday?"
"A year later, on the Princess's birthday, it was designated as a special national holiday, and amnesty decrees and congratulatory gifts were distributed throughout the country to commemorate it."
Come to think of it, he once said something like that. He wasn't even pregnant yet.
Seeing Endymion making a fuss so seriously, Julia playfully pointed out.
"But Mion. A baby is born ten months later, not a year?"
"...Oh, right. Did I say a year?"
Endymion swept his face wildly with an enlightened expression. He still seemed to be floundering.
It was strange to see him embarrassed, who was always confident and outspoken. Moreover, it was strangely satisfying to see a man who was Impeccable in many ways disturbed by her and his baby.
Julia, who felt better, took Endymion's other hand and placed it on her belly, and added affectionately.
"And we don't know if it's a daughter or a son yet, Your Majesty."
When Endymion saw his hands covering her slender belly, he tensed up again. Julia crossed her hands over him as if she were okay, and he carefully wrapped his arms around her belly.
"It must be a Princess. She looks just like you did when you were young, and everyone loves her."
Julia giggled and patted the back of his hand with almost certainty.
"Your Majesty? The odds are half and half; it could be your son."
And not all children resemble their mothers. Isn't Endymion much more like the late King than Milady?
"I think you should take some lessons from Dad."
He was smart and erudite, but she was surprised and amused that he was surprisingly bad at this kind of thing. Julia spoke half-jokingly, half-sincerely, but Endymion didn't even pretend to listen and called the handmaiden.
She brought her a warm water bag and placed it on the bed carefully.
"It should be a Princess, no, it must be a Princess. That's how she looks like you."
"Yes? No, it would be beautiful even if it were my son."
The Endymion she saw in her memory was very beautiful, even though he was young. He was the most handsome boy Julia had ever seen.
Julia was about to say it casually, but Endymion shook his head firmly.
"Absolutely not, I don't want him to look like me."
"Why? If he resembles your childhood, he must be very handsome..."
"I don't like it because it's pessimistic. My baby will always be as lovely as you, so she's a Princess."
It was almost at the level of religion. His usual cold and rational judgment was all over the place, but it was also very serious.
"Gather experts right away and prepare what you need. The budget is always superlative, with no upper limit."
Julia was dumbfounded to see Endymion giving the handmaiden a speech-level order.
'Shouldn't I like you more if you look like me?'
Besides, he had never seen her childhood before 1 was 7 years old, so what kind of certainty is he?
Even though it was warm, Julia complained as she covered herself with a feather blanket that had been carried up to her chin.
"Mion, it's frustrating."
"Just be patient. It's dangerous to walk around, so you're going to lie down like this for a while.
"No, the doctor and Anna said I was fine..."
"Keep the Queen at rest. I will take care of all the work, so let the Queen rest unconditionally. Consultations are held three times a day. Five times."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
It was a serious overprotective measure. As if she were a patient with some kind of bone.
"Report the physical condition every hour. As for the diet, I add the country of origin to the menu."
No, do you have to do that?!
Julia's mouth dropped, but the handmaiden and the escort knights who took orders were also happy with each other. Even the doctor and Anna, who came back after a while, had the same reaction.
"You are healthy, but you have to be careful in the early stages. Please refrain from going out and exercising with a lot of irritation."
"Queen, you must share the magic power with your baby in a stable manner during your tenure. In the meantime, if you use magic too much, it's dangerous for both of you."
There are many things that she can't do like that.
Anna, who had moved to the Queen's Palace, and the doctor took turns giving advice. Anna even postponed her retirement and announced that she would help Julia prepare for her academy classes.
"I'm healthy. So you don't have to be so overprotective."
"It's your first child, so you need to pay extra attention to it! And you even collapsed, and overwork is absolutely forbidden!"
Perhaps it was passed on to Endymion, and Anna, who was so generous to her, also became strict. Like a glass doll that would break with a little force, everyone became unhappy in an Instant.
"I got a call from the Tower saying that it would take more time to organize the list of mages to go to the academy. I'm going to prepare more for this and postpone the academy until after your baby's birth!"
"Then isn't it too late? Oh boy! Anna and I are co-professors, so I am in charge of the beginning of the class and Anna does it in the second half..."
"No."
"How can you prepare for class with a weak body! Then you will fall down again!"
Julia tried to negotiate, but Endymion and Anna shouted no more. Julia was sad, but they didn't budge.
"For the time being, it would be better to allow only my family, me, Boris, and Adele. If you keep getting external stimuli, it will be stressful."
"I will. If anyone asks for a meeting, report it to me first."
Instead, they were in agreement, and they were seriously discussing how to overprotect her.
They even assumed a defense breakdown that had never happened before, and there was even talk of creating a new magic defense system in the Queen's Palace.
"It would be better to set up a double, or triple, barrier in the Queen's Palace."
"That's an excellent idea. Oh, but it must be a bit budgetary! If it's a triple barrier, you need about fifty times the existing magic stone."
"The budget doesn't matter. No matter how much it costs, put the Queen's safety first."
...How far are they going, these people?
It had only been about two hours since she heard the news of her pregnancy, but the scale was getting bigger and bigger.
Julia, who couldn't even open her mouth and was surrounded by blankets, rolled her eyes in stunning.
Julia, are you uncomfortable?"
"Hmm. I would like to take a walk in the garden..."
Now that she had recovered her strength, she wanted to get some fresh air. But Endymion smiled sweetly and whispered.
"The sun is setting and the wind is cold, which is not good for your health."
"It's not even winter, is it? Just wait a minute."
"Tomorrow, when it's warm during the day, come out with me."
Endymion shook his head affectionately and opened a thick blanket for her.
"You should never go out alone, because you can't fall"
"Mion, aren't I a child..."
"Meals are brought to your room. It's hard for the Queen to move."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The grain didn't even work. Julia looked up at Endymion sullenly.
"Mion..."
With the look he always gave him.
But Endymion, who had begun to become obsessed with protecting Julia from all kinds of trivial things, as if the outside of the room were a battlefield, laughed heartily.
"Let's take a bath together from today."
"What, what?"
