Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Four: Many Children, Many Blessings

The passage of time is swift, especially for a busy person. Between running back and forth to Arthur's Royal Council and periodically meeting with various colonial governors, June quickly passed.

As Australasia was about to welcome a new election for the Cabinet Government, Arthur received good news: Queen Mary was pregnant for the third time.

The first two pregnancies brought Arthur two sons, Prince William and Prince Peter, and Princess Anna Miller. This time, Arthur would accept the child regardless of gender, as having many children was a blessing, and the prosperity of the royal family included a continuous lineage.

Australasia had no restrictions on childbirth, and the government even encouraged the people to actively give birth. It was common for a family to have three or four children.

As a result, Australasia's birth rate exceeded 500,000 new residents per year, demonstrating a strong desire for childbirth.
