"Little brothers!"
"Little brothers!"
Artoria happily ran over, supported carefully by a maid, and finally saw the two babies lying in their cribs.
"So ugly!"
Her adorable little face scrunched up.
So ugly!
So ugly!
Unlike Artoria, who had looked like a porcelain doll the mont she was born, the two boys looked like completely normal newborns.
"Hehe…"
Hearing Artoria's blunt comnt about her brothers, Ike chuckled and said, "Artoria, you're not allowed to say that about your brothers, understand?"
"Okay~~~"
"But they're still ugly!"
Artoria nodded obediently, yet still couldn't help muttering under her breath.
Ike could only shake his head helplessly.
Honestly—
This was what a normal child looked like.
His eldest daughter was the unusual one.
"Hehe…"
Selina covered her mouth and laughed softly, then said gently, "Husband, you haven't nad the children yet."
"Their nas…"
Ike looked at the two boys and began to think.
What should he call them?
"The Sun Glanced at You?"
"Iron?"
As he examined them, he thought to himself, "These two, at best, will grow into supporting pillars for Lily. As for becoming top-tier pillars of the family… that's unlikely."
"In that case…"
A mischievous smile curled at Ike's lips.
He had nad his eldest daughter Artoria.
Then…
After a mont's thought, he said, "The eldest son will be nad Gawain, and the second son will be nad Agravain."
"In the future…"
"You must grow well."
"Lily!"
"Father?"
Artoria had been frowning as she stared at her brothers, but when she heard Ike's voice, she turned her head curiously.
Ike said gently, "Lily, you must grow well. Gawain and Agravain are your younger brothers. You must protect your family, and they will beco your right and left hands."
"Mm!"
Hearing her father's words, Lily nodded seriously, her resolve firm.
"Hehe…"
Ike smiled and nodded, then turned and left the delivery room.
Selina followed behind him, her smile just as radiant.
Whether it was to reassure herself—
Or simply the truth—
Selina knew that in her husband's heart, her daughter's position was unshakable.
And that alone was enough.
Eldest son: Edward Gawain.
Second son: Edward Agravain.
The two boys had been born.
However—
One had B-rank talent.
The other had C rank talent.
Ike understood clearly—
At best, his sons would beco the backbone of the family.
As for becoming pillars like his eldest daughter?
Well…
The chances were quite low.
Still—
No need to rush.
No need to rush.
There was plenty of ti.
He was only eighteen years old.
By the ti the events of the original story began, who knew how far the Edward Family would have grown?
With a faint smile, Ike stepped out of the delivery room.
But then—
"Ike!" Newgate rushed over in three strides and asked excitedly, "How is it?!"
"Hehe…"
Ike smiled and said, "Big brother, calm down. Mother and children are safe. I nad the eldest Gawain and the second Agravain. They'll both beco the backbone of our family."
"Hm?!"
Newgate raised an eyebrow.
Though he often seed carefree, he was no fool.
He imdiately understood what Ike ant.
"No problem!"
"No problem at all!"
Newgate laughed loudly and nodded. "I'll definitely find the best teachers for our kids! Every single one of them will be outstanding!"
Newgate longed for family.
He yearned for it.
But—
He also understood—
Where there were people, there would be conflict.
Even among family.
They would form a massive collective.
Yet—
Within that family, there was no hierarchy in terms of status, because they were all family.
But at the sa ti—
There would still be pillars, core mbers, and ordinary mbers who supported quietly.
That was completely normal.
Clearly—
Compared to Artoria, whose extraordinary talent made it obvious she would beco the family's pillar—
Gawain and Agravain would at most be its backbone.
They could not beco pillars.
Newgate understood this perfectly well.
"Alright!" Ike waved his hand. "Big brother, let's go. Let's head back and rest. Today is a good day."
"Gurararara~~~"
"That's right!"
"Rest?! What rest?!"
Newgate snapped out of it and, still laughing, grabbed Ike and dragged him away. "A banquet! A banquet! My two nephews have been born—how could we not celebrate?!"
"Hehe…"
Selina watched her husband being dragged away by his brother, her smile warm and radiant.
"Lily…"
She softly murmured her daughter's na, her gaze filled with tenderness.
"Really…"
Selina shook her head gently, saying nothing more.
There was no need.
Within the Edward Family, this great household, she had firmly secured her place.
And—
She had absolute confidence in her husband.
In the future, the Edward Family would beco one of the most renowned great families in the world.
Perhaps even…
Just thinking of that possibility made her smile even brighter.
She looked forward to the future.
From now on—
She would strive to be a virtuous wife and loving mother, helping her husband maintain this family.
She would be sensible—
Not jealous or petty.
"Mm…"
"Should my husband take more concubines?"
"As the sisters all beco pregnant… are there not too few of us?"
