171 The Prince

The moment the baby was born, the barrier fell down and disappeared, as if it never was here.

I'm surrounded by many people, and they know what to do to take care of me. Someone also manages to calm Adelphium down.

The baby is wrapped in clean clothes, and he soon ends up in his father's arms.

«It's a boy,» the maid confirms with a smile. «Alba has a Prince, finally!»

While I'm taken care of, Ignis meets our son first. I also want to see, but he doesn't let me for so long. His lips are curled up while he observes our baby. He walks in circles, focused only on him.

It seems that he likes our heir. I'm glad: it means I won't be asked to give birth to other babies like this. One is enough.

«Look at him, Veronica,» he exclaims, turning back and reaching my side. «So cute, isn't he? He resembles you!»
