136 Episode 8 Battle of Peratia (1/2)

It's obvious that your hair is black ...... because you and I both have black hair, but what color are your eyes?

Blue would be nice, because it's ...... more mysterious.

I think it doesn't matter what color your eyes are.

I don't care what color the eyes are,” said Hercule as he held the monkey-faced baby.

This baby is Petra, daughter of Hercule and Ciphany.

Petra Yulianos was the child's name.

I can't really feel it at all. I thought there would be something that would come to me when I held her. ......

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm here.

Sifany smiled bitterly.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your life.

I'm not sure what to say, but it's true that it's my child. ...... There's no way that a man with such a pompous face could not be my child. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic on the web.

I know firsthand that my father, the previous emperor, failed at every step of the way in raising his children.

”Maybe we should ask Carolina's mother ......, Mary.

The most decent lady that Hercule has ever known is Karolina.

She is a very good girl, even if she is a regular wife.

She is an example of successful upbringing.

The second most decent one is Lunalie.

However, Hercule does not want her to grow up to be a masochist like her.

Similarly, the opinion of Loukanos, who is currently raising Nia, is also unreliable.

Although Nia is a cat in front of Hercule, ...... in reality, she has a number of problematic behaviors, such as bullying commoners and, recently, bullying criminals.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this. ......

His character is definitely the worst.

I don't want my daughter to have such a bad character.

Cecilia is a good person, but I don't want my daughter to be like Cecilia.

Lately, Hercule has been unable to win any oral competitions except for oral whoring and kissing.

One Cecilia is enough for me.

Scheherazade is out of the question.

I really don't understand how she could have been raised to be such a selfish runaway.

Sasan VIII and Helena's child-rearing ability must be evaluated as equal to or lower than that of Hadrian III.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who'll be able to help you out.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Well, next time you go home to your parents, ask them for some parenting tips.

Ciphany looked surprised.

Then she shook her head from side to side.

I'm sure you're not the only one.　It's true that we are somewhat wealthy. This girl is a princess, albeit a bastard. ......

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. If you have a normal personality, you can find a place to marry.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

She's the daughter of Hercule, so her bloodline is fine.

As long as she doesn't have any disabilities, she can be raised to have a normal personality.

She has half my blood.　What if she's raised in a strange way and ends up like me? I don't want my daughter to be a divorcee because of her husband's domestic violence.

...... You're aware of that, aren't you?

Ciffany smiled bitterly.

I'm glad you had a safe birth, at any rate. I was there for the birth. Well done, Cifanie.

”Yes, Your Majesty ......, and not just one, but two .......

Yeah, I know. But you need to rest for a while. There's no need to rush.

Hercule kissed Cifanie on the cheek.

Then he turned on his heel.

I'll see you later.

”Yes, have a good day.

”Now, how far have the Bulgurons come in?

”They've invaded the heart of the province of Tranquia. Currently, under the command of the governor of the province, the Tundan soldiers are the main force fighting against them. ......

Hearing Todoris' report, Hercule snorted in displeasure.

After separating from Sifanny, Hercule quickly gathered his vassals and held a meeting.

The purpose of the meeting was to deal with the invasion of the Bulgaron Kingdom.

The season was May, and Hercule was now twenty-three years old.

Hercule had decided to stop paying tribute to the Bulgaron Kingdom from this year.

Then the Bulgaron Kingdom invaded the province of Tranquia, claiming that it was breaking the treaty.

Tell the governor of the province to retreat as planned. Tell the governor of the province to retreat as planned. ...... Burn down the villages and towns along their invasion route so they don't get a grain of wheat. The cities with strong walls should never be overrun, but should keep their gates tightly closed. Draw them deeper into the empire.

Yes, sir. ...... I will tell them that.

The population of the Kingdom of Bulgalon is about three and a half million.

But of that, only 1.5 million are Bulgurons, the ruling class.

And the number of Bulgaron cavalry that invaded the Lemurian Empire this time is 50,000.

Because of their economic structure, nomads are able to mobilize a higher percentage of their population than farmers. ......
