I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 843 - Royal Procedures

Pregnant?

Landon looked at her in a daze before excitedly hugging her.

Pregnant, pregnant, pregnant.

Great!

She was sick.

She was just pregnant.

Hahahhahahahahhahahaha!

Landon’s joy oozed out as he couldn’t contain it anymore.

He was truly happy for both Lucius and his mother.

No wonder that Lucius didn’t want her to do anything.

Even he panicked a bit.

But since he knew everything about childbirth, he knew that it was good for pregnant women to exercise regularly.

So it wasn’t proper to keep her in her room all day long.

Nonetheless, his worries didn’t die down as well.

No!

This won’t do.

They had to add her bodyguards, get a full-time nurse to be by her side, and so on.

And when the pregnancy was six months gone, she would get maternity leave from all her jobs.

Well, she would get the leave when she felt like it.

Landon didn’t want to be too pushy.

It was her body, and she more than anyone else knew what she could handle.

.

Mother Kim chuckled while listening to her son and her husband make arrangements for the baby.

"Hopefully, it’s a girl!"

"That’s what I was hoping for too!"

Lucius nodded in agreement.

Who wanted a little imp who would be taking his wife’s attention away?

He was already in his 40’s, and he had taken Landon as his son for the last 18 years of the boy’s life.

He came to them when Landon was just one year old.

Anyway, Landon, his son, would be turning 20 this November and will be marrying Lucy sometime next year.

So he felt like a father who had successfully watched over his son’s life from infant to a.d.u.l.thood

He was done with sons.

He wanted a soft squishy daughter who he could pamper.

Who the hell wanted a boy?

He had already decided to pray to the ancestors for a girl.

Hopefully, his wish would come true.

Landon had a similar desire as well.

He just preferred to have a little sister over a little brother.

However, if it were a boy, he would still love him to bits.

But com’on!

A girl was just way cuter.

When little Linda came here, she was just nine years old.

She was so cute that Landon almost had a heart attack every time she released her ultra-cute power.

But as she grew up, the little girl didn’t stick to her brother all that much again.

Landon had invisible tears in his eyes and instantly knew how parents felt when watching their children leave them.

She was now mature and slowly grew into an outstanding lady, which was fine.

But he still missed the sticky princess from before.

Most parents or older siblings also missed their daughter’s/younger sibling’s sticky nature when they were younger.

And he was just the same.

But now, his mother was pregnant again and he had a chance of getting a younger sister.

So how can he not want it?

Please!

The sister/daughter fan club was here to stay, with Lucius and Landon holding signboards while cheering mother Kim.

Daughter!

Daughter!

Daughter!

(*^∆^*)

As for mother Kim, she too wanted a daughter.

She already had a son.

So she also hopped aboard the Daughter train.

Daughter!

Daughter!

Daughter!

.

The trio discussed merrily about breaking the news to the public, as well as long other traditional ceremonies too.

Mother Kim suddenly frowned when she thought of something.

"Little Landon, we are royals.

And as you know, the royals in our continent, as well as those from within the continents of Veinitta and Morgany, have some traditions that must be done. The source of this ᴄontent is N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net - novelenglish.net . bin

One of them is the birthing procedure.

As royals, you know that we have to give birth in front of 300 witnesses in a hall.

Son, I don’t want to do this again."

Mother Kim trembled a bit when she thought of her birthing scene when Landon came to this world.

The entire process was very degrading.

These public births were done to ensure that the child was legitimate and born from her.

Because some noblewomen sometimes lied that they were pregnant and later stole babies just to continue staying in their noble homes.

This was a rough era.

And any woman who couldn’t bear a child was deemed useless.

Desperate times called for desperate measures among nobles.

That’s why the group of witnesses had to watch everything for themselves to ensure that she was indeed the mother of the child.

Again, they also did this check if the child is evil.

Any form of disability was taken as a sign of evil.

And at times, both mother and child would be banished.

But this wasn’t the reason why she hated them.

With 300 witnesses watching her every move, how could she be comfortable?

Back then, she opened her legs to all these people.

And they in turn watched her perplexing moments.

.

Childbirth wasn’t clean.

Most women pooped during labour, and they also farted as well.

At least in the hospitals, they would clean up the poop and discard it instantly.

But the royals would keep the poop in a bucket until the delivery is over.

The smell would fill the same room that had several men and women watching in there.

And they would be judging on how you conduct during the delivery.

Sometimes, some women got convicted as demons, while others were laughed at, making their reputations plummet to be ground.

Royals had to have at least 300 people watching; nobles needed 15~200 people watching, depending on their nobility class.

The women had been subjugated to this and had prepared themselves over the years to give birth like a pro.

The noblewomen controlled themselves and would rather die than let their reputation fall.

But in Mother Kim, at the time, she was just a 17-year-old newly hired maid who knew nothing of noble or palace delivery.

She had travelled to the city from a village along the outskirts in search of a stable job after the death of her father.

Unfortunately, Alec ravished her just a month after she got hired.

And when she was about to give birth at 18, she who was ignorant was sent to the hall for all to bear witness.

The other wives also came as well to see her make a joke of herself.

And as they predicted, she became a laughing stock amongst the nobles and maids.

According to them, she had passed out too much gas when compared to the regular noblewomen, and her poop was a lot as well.

She was blamed for not being able to control her bodily fluids in front of men and women.

The news also made Alec strongly feel that she was an undeserving woman, as well because now, she made him lose face.

Some of his ministers, knights and others had seen her disapproving attitude, which made him feel like his reputation was being attacked.

This was just one of the many reasons why Alec hated her

.

When mother Kim remembered the scene, she was scared silly.

Will she have to go through that too?

She trembled like a frightened chicken while biting her lips anxiously.

Both Landon and Lucius hurriedly tried to calm her down.

"Honey, it will be alright."

"That’s right, mom.

You’re pregnant now.

So take it easy.

As for the birthing process, we are Baymardians and have our way of doing things.

Don’t worry; I will never allow you to go through that again."

Mother Kim still looked worried.

"But, but, but wouldn’t that make others look down on us?"

"They dare?" But Lucius and Landon exclaimed coldly in unison.

"Honey, don’t you trust our son?

How can he allow that to happen?

More still, don’t you trust me?

If the beat isn’t up to the task, then just know that I’ll always be there for you."

Mother Kim looked at Lucius with watery eyes and felt touched.

And when she wanted her face in his chest, Lucius just looked at Landon and smirked.

Landon was speechless.

Since when were they competing here?

Forget it.

Let them be.

With that, the matter of mother Kim’s pregnancy was handled.

Now, it was time for business!
