[Identity: Eldest Daughter]
[Birthday: February 3rd, Year 1469 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: S Red Dragon King]
[Aptitude: S ]
Ike looked at the system panel before him, at the talent of his eldest daughter, and couldn't help but sigh in amazent.
A monster.
She was completely a monster.
As for himself?
Heh…
[Edward Ike]
[Identity: Head of the Edward Family]
[Talent: B- Above Average]
[Aptitude: B ]
Go on.
Take a look.
Just look at this gap…
Ike didn't even know what the hell to say anymore.
"And besides…" Ike looked at his eldest daughter. Although she had just been born, she was completely different from other infants. His daughter looked perfect—unlike other babies who were wrinkled and crumpled.
In fact—
Not long after being born, she had already started growing hair, a soft little layer of golden fuzz.
"Just…"
Ike raised an eyebrow as he looked at that golden hair on his daughter's head. It seed like a fluffy layer.
But—
What the hell was that long ahoge sticking up on top of her head?
"This…"
"Red Dragon King… is this really normal?"
Looking at that single golden strand, combined with the Red Dragon King talent, Ike suddenly had so… unusual thoughts.
"Uh…"
He muttered, "Artoria?"
"My lord!" A young maid said respectfully, "Do you intend to na the young miss Artoria? What a wonderful na!"
"Hm?!"
Ike froze for a mont, then smiled lightly and nodded. "Alright, this child will be called Artoria."
"Yes!"
The maid imdiately hurried off to make arrangents, notifying everyone.
"Edward Artoria!"
"Mm…"
Holding Artoria in his arms, Ike smiled gently. "I just hope… my guess isn't wrong. Otherwise, sothing about this feels a bit strange."
"Heh…"
Ike couldn't help but chuckle, then handed his eldest daughter to the waiting maid before walking out of the delivery room.
Both Selina and Artoria needed proper rest.
Though—
Looking at Artoria, who had just been born yet already had bright, lively eyes darting around, looking extrely adorable—
His daughter probably didn't feel like resting at all.
"Ike!"
"Ike!"
The mont he stepped out of the delivery room, Newgate hurried over and asked anxiously, "Is the child alright?"
Newgate was practically panicking, worried about whether his nephew—or niece—was safe.
"Heh…"
Seeing Newgate like this, Ike chuckled and said, "Big brother, let's go. Mother and daughter are safe. Artoria was born without any issues. Co back tomorrow—Selina and Artoria both need proper rest."
"Artoria?"
"Mm!"
"The na I gave her. Don't like it?"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"That's a great na! So it's a niece?"
"Of course!"
"And! My eldest daughter's talent is outstanding. If nothing unexpected happens, surpassing you, big brother, won't be a problem at all."
"Really?!"
"Of course it's real!"
"Then let's hold a banquet! A banquet!"
"No problem!"
The Edward brothers left with cheerful grins, while the female doctors collected their rewards and departed. The maids carefully attended to Madam and the young miss, and the other concubines watched with curiosity, each wondering what would happen next.
Especially those who were already pregnant, as well as Sally and Snake Princess, who were close to giving birth—both gently caressed their stomachs.
In short—
Everything was perfect.
The lively banquet lasted until midnight. If not for Newgate insisting that he absolutely had to see his niece the next day, it probably wouldn't have ended at all.
"Mm…"
Back in his room, Ike lay alone for once, without any concubine by his side. Rubbing his forehead, he murmured, "A daughter… setting aside the system, after two lifetis, this is my first child. This feeling…"
Ike truly felt a sense of unreality.
Becoming a father after two lifetis—such an impact on one's heart was sothing most people could neither understand nor imagine.
[Eldest Daughter: Edward Artoria has been born.]
[Detection: Eldest daughter possesses S talent Red Dragon King, S aptitude.]
[Reward: Life Energy Level Increased.]
"Hm!"
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
The next mont—
A green light appeared out of thin air in the room.
Intense pain instantly flooded his entire body. Ike let out a muffled groan as the green light surged into him. That overwhelming pain felt as though every part of his body was being reconstructed—from his bones, to his flesh, to his blood…
From the inside out.
Every inch of his body was being transford.
The sheer agony made Ike want to faint, but he couldn't. The pain wouldn't allow him to lose consciousness—it forced him to endure it.
The transformation lasted for nearly an hour.
"Haa…!"
"Haa…!"
As it finally ended, Ike gasped heavily, his entire body drenched in sweat, soaking the bedding beneath him.
Yet—
After such intense pain, his face wasn't pale at all. On the contrary, it looked exceptionally flushed and full of vitality.
"I swear…" Ike couldn't help but curse, "So the system's upgrades hurt this much?"
He opened his system again to check his updated status.
But—
His panel had completely changed.
