Side Story 8

Right now, she thought it didn’t matter if they had a boy or a girl, but when they were born, she wondered how nice it would be if they had a girl and a boy.

She still doesn’t know if they’re identical or fraternal, or if they’ll have to get along well as siblings. She started to worry.

Idina smiled as she imagined her daughter, who resembled Killian, running around. 

“I hope the kids come out soon. How pretty they’ll be……?”

The wives said that the process of giving birth is hard, but after giving birth, she will get happiness from the kids that she can’t get from anything in the world.

Idina’s heart raced just thinking about those words. They’ll definitely be prettier since they’re twins.

They’ll have accidents sometimes, but there will be more days when they make Killian or herself happy.

Just imagining that made a smile appear on her face. Killian laughed along as he watched her, then asked back.

“Is it because they take after you, Idina?”

Idina flinched.

“What are you talking about? They should resemble you.”

Idina sincerely thought that they should resemble Killian more than herself. First of all, she was in danger……! Her older brother, Duke Bride, was quite handsome, but her father was not handsome at all.

On the other hand, Killian’s royal family was made up of people with outstanding beauty. She heard that Emperor Escass was also a very handsome man who was the object of envy among noble women  back in his day. He is now a handsome middle-aged man.

Beauty is not everything, but since he is already pretty, Idina wanted her children to be pretty not only in her eyes but also in everyone’s eyes.

Of course, if they are the blood of an Alpha, they will be born with beauty by default……

Is that too much to ask?

Idina tilted her head in thought. In the meantime, Killian put his hand on Idina’s stomach and whispered.

“But I wish they had eyes just like yours.”

“My eyes……?”

Idina looked at Killian with her clear eyes like a deer. Killian nodded, still looking at her beautiful eyes even after seeing them tens of thousands of times.

“Yeah, when I look at those eyes, I would do anything. Anything in the world.”

To the point of buying her this many strawberries.

Idina smiled quietly at his words, which contained a serious confession in their own way. Then she looked at Killian’s face one by one and recited her pure desires.

“Then I…… I want the children to have a nose like yours. And the lips, and the ears. Here…….”

As she spoke, Idina unconsciously touched Killian’s face. Clean skin, straight nose, and well-shaped lips…… Not only that, but the line from the cheekbones under the eyes to the chin was elegant and beautiful.

Most Alphas are said to be beautiful. However, Killian was unique among them.

Is this what a male god who represents beauty looks like?

When she looks at his face, she can’t help but fall in love with him again.

“I wish everything about our child resembled you.”

Killian, who noticed that she was looking at him as if she was a little absent-minded, let out a soft voice.

“You like me too much, don’t you?”

“……Yes, Killian.”

At Idina’s shy confession, Killian tilted his head without hesitation and quickly kissed her mouth.

Idina’s tongue tasted like strawberries.

It was a sweeter kiss than any kiss he had ever had.

Three months later.

Idina, who was pregnant, ate a lot, but her belly was so swollen that even the doctor was a little flustered. Idina’s due date was fast approaching.

At the last minute, Idina’s body was so heavy that she could barely get out of bed. Killian was not only worried about her health, but honestly, he was also very anxious that something might go wrong during the birth.

Still, as the due date approached, the royal family prepared a delivery room for Idina, and everyone there would do their best to protect her and the babies’ life.

Killian tried hard to suppress his anxiety. 

However, “Aahk……!”

Killian, who was pacing around the hallway absentmindedly, flinched involuntarily at the sound of Idina’s screams coming from inside the delivery room. He ran to the door.

“Idina!”

Even though they saw his bewildered face, the servants stationed in front of the delivery room did not move at all. It was understandable, as those who had gathered to attend the Crown Princess’s birth were all experienced midwives.

Even so, Killian couldn’t hide his anxiety and asked those guarding the door.

“Why, why can’t I go in?”

“That’s because you might see an unsightly view… Most noble families only allow the mother and midwife to enter…….”

In short, it wasn’t the beautiful scene he imagined, so she was telling him to wait quietly until the babies were born.

But even at this time, Idina’s screams didn’t stop.

How much is the b*by in the womb tormenting its mother? He had heard that it would be harder since it was her first birth and twins. But this situation, where Idina’s labor pains wouldn’t even last, felt so unreasonable to Killian.

It was said that omegas generally have an easier time giving birth than betas. But just listening to Idina’s voice, the current situation didn’t seem easy at all.

Killian clenched his teeth when he heard Idina’s screams again, but soon gathered his courage.

“I want to go in and help. I can at least hold her hand.”

“But…….”
