Book 12: Chapter 17: Charles Mind Reading (3/6)
One month before my sixth birthday
Creator God-sama, please protect Mother and the child she will give birth to so that they will be safe.
Elder Brother Leon was praying to Creator God-sama in the living room, and I sat beside him doing the same.
Our younger brother was about to be born. Mother was doing her best right now.
By the way, Father and Elder Brother Cain werent home. Actually, the babys due date was in two weeks, but she went into labor earlier than expected today.
Father was in a neighboring kingdom for work. Elder Brother Cain was searching for an item called the Wish Stone to pray for Mothers safe delivery.
Mother suddenly realized that shes in labor, so Elder Brother Leon and I were flustered, but thankfully, the doctor and the midwife were already staying in the mansion since two months ago, so they managed to immediately rush to support her.
The butler already sent a Letter Bird to Father and Elder Brother Cain.
Father will wrap things up and return. Elder Brother Cain replied that he had secured the Wish Stone and was hurrying back.
The doctor also told us that it was a bit early, but there wasnt any problems.
So itll be fine.
Itll be fine, right?
Mother was in a different room doing her best to give birth. I was worried about her, so I tried to listen to her mind, but her inward screams scared me, so I stopped.
My super strong and really cool mother breaking down like that
Its very hard to give birth to a baby.
Will I also have my own baby someday?
Its a bit scary.
Ah!
The surroundings suddenly became warm.
Charles, did you feel that just now?
Yes. Did Elder Brother too?
Yeah. How to say this its like being blessed.
Blessed?
Yeah, a blessing. It was only once before, but I remember feeling something like this before.
Apparently, Elder Brother Leon felt it when he went from [First Tier Occupation] to [Second Tier Apprentice].Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
The midwife casted Clean on me.
Alright, its fine now.
I already washed my hands clean, but it seems like it wasnt enough, and itll be dangerous to touch the baby. Thats because his immune system wasnt strong yet.
Thank you very much!
I gently touched the babys cheeks. It was bouncy soft.
His inner voice says he didnt like it a bit.
S-Sorry.
But it felt really nice.
Mother, whats the name of our brother?
Elder Brother Leon asked.
Actually, I already knew his name, since I listened to Mothers thoughts.
I also knew the reason behind it.
The deities named this child.
D-Deities?
Thats right. A few days after I became pregnant with this child, Creator God-sama appeared in my dream, and he gave a name to this child.
Mother lovingly gazed at the baby.
His name is Halt.
