The Misunderstood King
Birth of the duke 1

Birth of the duke 1

17 years old. That was the age before I died. I was an ordinary kid born into an upper-middle-class family, my mom worked as head manager of some company I think, and my dad was a university professor probably. I can't quite remember, I only remember it vaguely since my head is kind of jumbled up.

Well, that's not important anymore, I can't even remember what my parent's names were let alone my own. So, my memories are kind of just taking up space in my head. I have no idea how I died, illness? An accident? Murder? Who knows, not me obviously.

Anyways you might be wondering why I'm talking about all this or rather how do I even remember these things, the answer to that question is easy. I got reincarnated.

I was floating around in a nice warm place, it was like taking a long nice bath. I never felt hungry, never felt cold, sometimes I could even hear music, it was heaven. It was a nice place until one day, some guy abruptly took me away from that place.

I kind of blacked out for a bit, but when I opened my eyes I was being carried by an old man.

'Ah, I am a baby now aren't I?' was literally the first thing that came to mind after I looked around, I was in a really grand bedroom, there were a bunch of ladies running around fetching water and cloth and stuff, and on the bed was a beautiful woman lying there and seemingly panting like she just ran a mile.

I'm guessing that woman is my mother, then the old guy must be the doctor that helped deliver me. So, this was the bastard that dared to take me away from my haven, I thank you and at the same time, I curse you!

The old man quickly handed me over to a beautiful woman before he started talking to her. The beautiful lady, my mother, was really… beautiful, her hair was a pretty silver color, and her red eyes were also.... um... pretty.... yeah, she was just pretty, it was hard to describe due to my bad language skills. Anyway, some of you might be wondering why I'm not trying to listen to the conversation between my mother and the doctor, well the answer is because:

"!@%%##@$!@#^$&%@$$%."

"@#%!$^#$^##@%$!#^@#?"

Yeah, I have no idea what they are saying. I didn't meet god or anything, so I didn't get the language cheat sadly...

So instead of trying to make heads or tails over what they are talking about, I'm just crying, not because I want to but because it is cold and I’m wet, and my body is reacting on instinct.

Stolen novel; please report.

After one of the servant girls came and covered me in a cloth, I was able to stop my body from crying.

“$#%!@#$%!#$%~”

I still have no idea what you said mom but I’m sure it was nice. So I'll be nice and give you some service.

“Kyah, kyah~”

After making those embarrassing noises, my mom smiled happily and gently patted my head. Then due to a multitude of reasons such as the comfy cloth I was wrapped in, the gentle pats and the fact that I was just born, I fell asleep afterward.

Oh right, I'm not sure if it was because of just being born or because of the lighting of the room, but I'm pretty sure her hands were glowing when she touched me, it bothered me a little but I'm pretty sure that was probably just my imagination.

I was scared. It had been 12 years since I married my husband, Duke Irwin Harris, but during that time I seemed to have not been able to conceive a child.

Even Cana, his newest concubine who joined his harem only 2 years ago, was able to give birth to a healthy baby girl last year.

Though he always whispered gently to me that it was alright, I couldn't help but fear deep in my heart that he would slowly lose interest in me and forget about me, I knew in my head that he loved me dearly, but in our society where it is expected of the heir to be born from the main wife, I can't help but get anxious. So when I found out that I was pregnant I was exhilarated.

"...What... was that..."

I heard the doctor mutter something while looking at my child, worried something was wrong I anxiously asked him.

"Is there something wrong with him, Doctor Lycus?!" 

"Ah, no forgive me I seemed to have been lost in thought for a second. Congratulations on a healthy boy, madam."

Doctor Lycus said to me gently, Doctor Lycus was the capitals- no the kingdoms greatest doctor, currently he was working as the royal family's exclusive doctor.

The reason he was the one who helped deliver my child is due to my husband's relationship with the royal family, being the king's childhood friend and the commanding general ruling over the kingdoms entire military division, he was able to get permission for Doctor Lycus to come so that no mistakes will be made and that the delivery would be safe.

Though usually, he is cool-headed, throughout the whole operation it seemed like he was pacing around anxiously outside, seeing that side of him made me once again think about how he is really cute~

"Thank you..." I said tiredly, I heard about it from the other wives but giving birth is truly tiring, the pain is bearable but the exhaustion afterward really isn't something one would like to experience again.

My child stopped crying after being dried and covered in a soft blanket. After that, he curiously looked around the room before staring at me and smiling with

"From now on, your name is Noel, Noel Harris~ Nice to meet you, Noel~"

"Kyah, Kyah~"

He responded with a cute smile, quietly I cast [Recovery] and [Sleep] on him.

"Thank you for being born safely...."

I gently stroked his head before handing him to my husband, who approached silently from my left (Even I jumped in surprised a little there, I guess him boasting about never losing at hide and seek was true~).

"I'm sorry dear but currently I'm quite tired... Can you please look after him for a bit?"

His large and warm hand gently stroked my head before whispering softly.

"Sleep as much as you need, I'll take care of both you and him."

Ah, I really love my husband~
