Chapter 1

*Uwaaa*

Someone is sobbing nearby.

Is it an infant?

*Uwa, Uwaa*

Nope, it’s me who has been crying.

*Uwaa, Uwaa*

I want to stop crying but I can’t.

They drag me into the light from the comfort of the darkness as I bawl my eyes out.

“Sonya-sama, it’s born.”

“It’s a healthy baby boy, Sonya-sama.”

My body was taken out from the darkness into the cold air.

It was too bright to see anything.

I couldn’t even open my eyelids, all I could do was cry.

“You were born…”

Suddenly a low voice descended from above, whereas until now I could only hear a woman’s voice.

I had the feeling that someone was looking down at me.

“Yes… it’s been born… it’s our, my and dear’s child…”

“Don’t call me “dear” so familiarly. You better know your place, Sonya.”

‘I’m sorry, …… Gareth-Sama…’

The woman apologizes.

Her voice was filled with fear.

“Hey, quickly bring the magic crystal and measure the magic power…”

“Yes…”

“We’ll be right with you.”

There were signs of people moving hurriedly.

I felt something round and cold against my body.

“What the hell is this… it’s useless magic… is it even my child?…”

The words of the person with the low voice are discouraging.

“You’ve given birth to such a failure… you disappoint me, Sonya.”

“I’m sorry…Gareth-Sama.”

“I shall give you the right to succeed to the throne in due course. But that’s all. It will be impossible for you to become emperor of this country with such rubbish magical power. You and your mother can live quietly out of my sight…”

“Sorry, I’m sorry.”

A woman with a voice that for some reason instinctively feels familiar repeats her apologies incessantly.

The man with the low voice rushes away, mainly with irritating footsteps.

‘Don’t worry… you’re safe with me…’

A woman with a familiar voice held me and whispered in my ear.

‘No matter what happens I will… protect you… my precious son…’

“Uwaa..”

I calmed down hearing the woman’s soothing voice.

I fell asleep soon after, too tired to even look around.
