I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration

In early August of that year, she gave birth to a child while thinking, ‘Is this the end of my life?’ She really thought she was going to die. But fortunately, Edith’s wide pelvic body made it possible for her to give birth easily (although it was not at all easy in her opinion).

 

For your information, Killian cried again that day.

 

“Good job, Edith. You really worked hard… thank you. Thanks, Edith. I love you.”

 

Even though she was exhausted, she managed to move her lips and speak.

 

“You’re a crybaby…”

 

Killian burst into laughter even as he cried at those words. It was her first time seeing such a happy smile. It seemed like she gave him even more happiness.

 

The child born was a boy, and they chose ‘Erdin’ as the name that best suited the child among the name candidates they had chosen in advance. Erdin was a really pretty child who inherited Killian’s black hair and her light brown eyes.

 

“The beauty of the Ludwig family is not going anywhere. How can you be so pretty?”

 

“It’s pretty because it resembles you. His eyes completely captured you.”

 

“But these lips are completely yours? Oh my! Look at him pursing his lips.”

 

“Is he hungry?”

 

“Earlier, he ate as much as Mamma could give him. I guess he is sucking milk in his dreams.”

 

They looked at Erdin without even noticing the passage of time. He was a baby wrapped all over, unable to move his limbs, and she made a fuss because the baby moved his lips, she smiled, and she yawned so much that dimples appeared on her cheeks. In fact, in her previous life, it was so difficult to take care of herself that she couldn’t even think about getting married, let alone having children, but when she actually gave birth to a child, her heart was so full that she felt that her happiness was finally complete. Of course, this was only because there was a nanny to look after the child.

 

‘If I were to raise a child alone, I would have used both hands and both feet.’

 

Before the 100-day miracle happened, she was a mother and a father, and it wasn’t a hell of a parenting situation where she barely got any sleep. Thanks to having a nanny, she was able to sleep well and eat healthy food to keep her body in shape. Erdin was a quiet, big child who never gave her morning sickness, so even after he was born, he was quieter than other babies.

 

She thought the bigger Erdin got, the more the baby looked like Killian. Killian said that every time he saw Erdin, he looked like her, which made her laugh.

 

“He looks just like the two of you. If you look at him this way, he resembles the Count, and if you look at him that way, he resembles Madam.”

 

Anna, who has shown as much affection for Erdin as she has for her or her nanny since Erdin was born, said with a happy face even today. And every time she saw Anna like that, she felt regret, and responsibility all at once.

 

“Anna… Don’t you want to get married?”

 

Anna was already twenty-six. In 21st century Korea, she would still be enjoying her youth, but in this world, she was at an age where she would be labeled an old woman.

 

“Do you get married alone? And I am very satisfied with my life now, so don’t worry, ma’am.”

 

Anna looked really happy, and that wasn’t her empty words, but after spending all day caring for her, it put me at ease to think that when Anna went back to her own room, all she would be greeted with was silence. didn’t Of course, this did not mean that being single was bad. Perhaps this feeling itself could have been her own self-indulgent sympathy for Anna. But there was one thing that happened.

 

‘It doesn’t matter if Anna is really happy living alone, but if she feels lonely only after she has wasted all her youth because of me…’

 

If so, it would be difficult for her to shake off the guilt. They would fully support her as she spends the rest of her life, but there were some things that money alone couldn’t cover. As she was worried, she decided to try arranging a standing position for her.

 

‘Maybe Anna is alone because she hasn’t had a chance to meet a man.’

 

There was a huge difference between meeting someone and saying no and giving up without even meeting them. Besides, wasn’t it true that you have to look at the sky to find stars, and that you have to meet a man to know if you want to date or get married? If Anna wanted to remain single even after meeting a decent man, then she could comfortably support her singleness.

 

That evening, she sat down with Killian and started thinking about it.

 

“If it were the capital, we might have been able to find some candidates, but in Ryzen, it’s difficult to find a man suitable for Anna. Moreover, people tend to get married earlier than in the capital…”

 

“But it’s also true that a divorced or widowed man joins Anna. Honestly, where else can you find a bride as good as Anna in Ryzen?”

 

After shaking their heads for a while, mentioning the candidates that came to mind one by one, they were able to narrow down two candidates. Of course, neither of them appealed to her, but it might be different if Anna met him in person. While she was taking a breather, Killian spoke with a worried look on his face.

 

“Not only is Anna a problem, but Renan is also a problem. Renan is already over 30.”

 

“Renan… Is he thinking of getting married?”

 

When she thought of Renan, whose expression never changed, she couldn’t imagine him meeting a woman, falling in love, and starting a family. It feels like Renan will always exist on its own.

 

“I don’t think there is one. During his life in the duchy, his mother tried to introduce him to a young lady several times, but he always refused.”

 

She knew it.

 

“His father, Sir Theofilch, must be very upset.”

 

“I’m sure the letter you asked me to give to Renan was full of stories about his marriage.”

 

The day before yesterday, a letter from Sir Filch had been sent to Killian, and it included a small letter asking him to pass it on to his son. She couldn’t help but laugh as she imagined that Renan would be indifferent to the letter.

 

“If he hates it so much, there’s nothing we can do.”

 

“Well, Renan also rejects women, but on the other hand, there will be no woman who will like Renan. A dull man who only knows about work.”

 

They sighed anxiously, nodded at it, and went to bed. And the next day, she persuaded Anna in advance before Killian asked the two men he had chosen as candidates about their intention to fight for her.

 

“Although Anna said she would remain single, I thought she should still have the opportunity to meet a man.”

 

“Ma’am, I…”

 

“I know, I know. You’re satisfied with what you’re doing now and you’ve been saving hard so you don’t have to worry about retirement. I know everything, but why don’t you just meet him for experience? If you don’t like it, you can reject it on my own terms.”

 

Even though Anna had a perplexed expression on her face, she eventually nodded her head. Then, she stopped by her room to report that Renan was there. She was at ease with her in many ways, thanks to Renan, who was doing his part clearly while she was taking care of Erdin and putting her body in order.

 

“The winter wheat harvested in spring and summer totals 5,000 tons. The yield of spring wheat, which will soon be harvested, will be slightly lower than this, but there will be no problem with winter food supply.”

 

“What about other fruit trees and vegetable yields?”

 

“It’s similar to last year. However, now that the business of cultivating various fruit tree seedlings has begun, in just a few years, the territory will be filled with different fruits in each season.”

 

Renan handed Anna a document that neatly organized all of her material. Anna was also her secretary, so it was natural.

 

“Would you like to take a look at the crop production situation in the surrounding territories?”

 

“Oh, that’s good then! Have you organized anything?”

 

“Yes. But I didn’t bring it right now…”

 

As Renan blurted out his words, Anna came forward.

 

“If it’s okay with you, Madam, I will go to the administration office and get it. Lord Filch is busy.”

 

“Then will you do so?”

 

Anna nodded her head lightly with a faint smile and followed Renan, who greeted her, and went out. The two people, with similar attitudes, facial expressions, and speech patterns, seemed to be the same person, differentiated only by gender.

 

‘It’s a blessing, a blessing, to have such talented and sincere people by my side.’

 

She watched their faces disappear with a proud heart and then regretted it. Because she forgot to give Renan the letter from his father.

 

‘I forgot that I was giving it to Renan when he came today. After giving birth, I started forgetting a lot.’

 

Since Anna wasn’t with her, she searched her desk drawer herself, found the letter, and then went out after Renan and Anna. She saw them turn a corner in the distance. Because of her position as a countess, she couldn’t run, so she played with her feet and barely made it to the corner.

 

“So, who did she ask you to meet?”

 

Renan’s somewhat anxious voice came from around the corner.

 

‘Huh? What are you talking about?’

 

Without realizing it, she hid in a corner and pricked up her ears. It was truly rare to hear Renan’s voice filled with such emotion.

 

“He is the butler’s nephew and a knight of the Knights Templar. I told her several times that I was okay, but my lady was always worried about my situation…”

 

At Anna’s words, Renan let out a long sigh and said as if he regretted it.

 

“Still, this morning the Count hinted at me and asked if I wanted to get married. If I had know he was talking about Anna, I would have said…”

 

Anna laughed softly. She swore whe had never seen Anna smile so shyly. Not once!

 

“Shall I speak to her again?”

 

“No. I will go and tell her. I was going to tell her this at the end of the year when I have more free time…”

 

“Sorry.”

 

“It’s something I’m sorry about. Miss Anna must have been embarrassed because of me.”

 

Renan smiled and gently touched Anna’s cheek. Anna’s cheeks turned red in an instant, and Renan, who was embarrassed, quickly withdrew his hand. Even though no one was watching (except Edith), the two people were busy pretending like nothing was wrong, making noises like “hmmm” for no reason.

 

‘Oh my god…! You two were dating well on your own, right?’

 

She was smiling proudly behind the corner, and as if to forget about it again, she began to trot towards Killian’s office. She needed to cancel all these plans before they got a chance to confront Killian.

 

‘As expected, it wasn’t necessary to worry about talented people. I just caused a nuisance for no reason. No, maybe I just poured fuel on a small burning ember. Hehehe.’
