[Side Story] Euphemia El Lorenne Ruerg─Cattleya
“Councilman——!”
May 2nd.
Late dawn.
Members of the Bruteyn family got up from their seats in a huff after receiving the sudden news.
No, in fact, the situation itself was urgent, but it was not unexpected.
By calculating back the date Euphemia became pregnant, we were able to determine the approximate birth date of the child.
However, no matter how advanced the medical technology was in the world compared to the times, it was still a bit old compared to the modern times in which Lee Seo-jin lived.
For this reason, there is an error of about a month in the estimated birth date.
In preparation for that, a nurse with extensive midwifery experience was brought along with Euphemia, so upon hearing the news, the council members immediately completed preparations and then proceeded to the Brutein family’s annex.
“From what I heard, my water has already broken!”
Amniotic fluid bursting faster than delivery.
In other words, if they didn’t quickly arrive at the Brutein family’s mansion—and help Euphemia give birth–there was a very high chance that both the baby and the mother would become infected.
The lawmakers who watched Fersen’s childhood in their own way felt that Fersen had become relatively poor.

If something happens to the mother or child, honestly…… She wasn’t confident she could handle that anger.
Of course, if we look only at the process of childbirth, the nurse who helped pregnant women give birth more than they did—the nurse who will be by Euphemia’s side right now would be enough……
It was forbidden to exclude the possibility of a situation.
Since the mother was Euphemia, Fersen’s wife, the lawmakers, who were so excited that sweet smells were flying from her mouth, assumed the worst.
That way, you will be able to respond to the situation right away without being shaken.
‘Please…’ … ‘
If the amniotic fluid breaks before delivery, there is a possibility that the hands or feet of the fetus may fall out of the uterus along with the flow.
It would be fortunate if it was a hand, but if it was a foot, there was a high possibility that the mother’s uterus would rupture during childbirth.
No matter how you induce labor, the umbilical cord gets caught in the fetus’s neck, or her neck itself gets caught in her uterus.
Although a cesarean section had to be performed right away, most of the doctors were honestly not confident about performing the surgery.
It’s not that I have no experience.
But where can one gain proficiency in the experience of cesarean section?
The number of people in the Imperial Palace, other than the Greenwich Councilor, can be counted on one hand.
Amid such complicated thoughts, the lawmakers who arrived hurriedly into the annex of the Brutein family, immediately opened their bags, disinfected their hands, and changed their clothes.
No matter how much magic you can create in a sterile environment, the most important thing is the cleanliness of the doctors who will perform the surgery.
They completed their preparations and took a step forward.
* * * * *
In front of the room that had been prepared in advance to prepare for Euphemia’s smooth delivery.
There she sat, without Fersen even thinking about changing his clothes, which were soaked in her amniotic fluid.
She clearly remembers the image of the woman who had been sound asleep next to her just a few hours ago complaining of pain and then panicking because her amniotic fluid broke.
She knew that if she was embarrassed, she would become even more anxious, so Ferzen forced herself to remain calm, but inside she couldn’t.
…… At best, she was trying to open the door to the underworld right away.
Fortunately, the nurse who was on standby in advance and had a lot of experience in helping with childbirth reacted quickly and began preparations for delivery, but the steps he tried to follow were blocked by a sharp shout.
Unlike the doctors, the nurse assisting them probably doesn’t even know them.
Was it a clear professional spirit that allowed me to assert my opinion with a loud voice without being afraid?
That voice was still clear in my ears.
「It’s not that I can’t understand her extreme sincerity toward her wife. But…… Count Ruerg. You must not come in. 」
「Why…? … 」
「Life is precious and precious. But the process is not necessarily beautiful. 」
「 …… 」
「 Like the Count, I have seen many husbands who were unable to have proper relationships later on because they were traumatized by watching their wives give birth. 」
If he had persisted, the nurse would have reluctantly let him in.
However, looking back on his past, when he suffered from obsessive-compulsive symptoms that were incompletely cured, Fersen had no choice but to accept the nurse’s advice.
“…… “
And Laura, sitting next to Fersen and not knowing what to say, looked at Fersen with a haggard complexion.
If you become pregnant in the Count of Genoa, it is a sin that will pass down a curse to your lineage.
Because of this, the process of carrying the child of the man she loved and giving birth to that child was all unfamiliar to Laura.
Even when it comes to early detection, there are quite a few cases in the medical field, and when you consider the risk, it is not as high as other cases.
Nevertheless, seeing this man in front of her with her legs trembling slightly and her hands clasped together gave her a new feeling.
‘If…… ‘
Even if, just in case, she ends up having a child.
Will he not make the wrong choice and try to find a solution somehow?
Yes, looking at Fersen now, the thought that she might be like that vaguely settled in Laura’s mind.
But rather, Laura hoped that she would never conceive Fersen’s seed in her womb.
The bondage of the curse that the past life self and the current life self could not break no matter how hard they struggled.
Because I never wanted to see Fersen struggling to unravel that tangled thread that could never be resolved.
“Master.”
“Are you here…?” … “
“Don’t worry. I will do my best.”
“Honestly, no matter what I say to you now, it will feel like a burden. So, if you ever face the worst situation, don’t hesitate to call me.”
That was all Ferzen could say to the arriving lawmakers, so they awkwardly kicked open the door and entered inside.
If you hold the doorknob with disinfected gloves, the disinfection will have no meaning.
──aaagh!
And when the sound of Euphemia filled with pain was heard through the gap where the door was opened for a moment, Fersen trembled.
If it weren’t for Uriel being inside her to create a sterile situation by weaving her vacuum, I would have tried to allay this anxiety by lending her arms right away.
But right now, there was no one anywhere to lean on for this uneasiness, so Fersen raised her staggering body.
No, I did glance at Laura sitting behind her……
For some reason, her shallow self-esteem made her not want to rely on Laura.
In fact, she is a woman who is no different from the reflection of herself in the mirror, only the gender is different.
Is that why?
Fersen didn’t want to show that she was very weak, so she walked slowly.
Will it get better if I get some air for a moment?
Seeing her like that, Laura tried to follow her, but before she knew it, Jeremiah, the head of the family of Brutein and her older brother from Fersen, made her his leader.
“I will come back again. Judging by the fact that she doesn’t even want to rely on me, her brother…… “You probably don’t want to show that side of yourself to others.”
“…… “
Laura stood up hesitantly at Jeremiah’s words and pressed her buttocks again, but for some reason, Jeremiah’s words made her heart tingle considerably.
‘It’s someone else, isn’t it…? … ‘
Even though she is a concubine, she has clearly abandoned Rosenberg’s last name and shares his last name.
We mixed bodies several times.
As she shares secrets that cannot be told to others, in another sense, the relationship between Fersen and herself can be said to be very close.
Despite such self-consolation, Laura ultimately failed to follow Fersen.
She cannot bear his child.
Because she thought there was no way that her wife, who was only half as good as she was, could comfort her in her troubles at this moment.
* * * * *
Desolate dawn.
Under the quiet night sky, Fersen stopped her as she walked aimlessly.
The pregnancy was merely a means.
It would be a lie if she said she didn’t feel strange when she heard the news……
Rather than her joy at having her own veins gestating in her womb, she felt more joy and security at the fact that she was completely subordinate to him.
But.
She must have been like that, but it was almost comical to see herself trembling so pitifully.
Kirik.
“…… “
“…… “
A sudden sense of popularity made Fersen turn his head towards her.
Lizzy lifts the body herself and guides the wheelchair.
She looks up at herself and smiles.
“Even people like you sometimes show this side of themselves.”
“…… “
“Looking at that mess, it might be more reasonable to have a miscarriage rather than giving birth to your child and making her hate her father.”
“Lizzy.”
“After all, that ugly woman wouldn’t have had your child through an exchange of affection. “Then she will no doubt give the same reaction to your child that I will bear.”
Kirik.
Lizzy pulled her wheelchair a little closer, grabbed Fersen’s hand and placed it against her own cheek.
“That woman…” … I hope you give birth to your child safely. Seeing that child growing up with so much love from her mother and father, how will my child, who will grow up hating her father, feel? Just as you erased my family name, will you kill me with your own hands, thinking that it is the root of an unpleasant future problem?”
“…… “
“If you really want to be human, shouldn’t you just learn to feel happy?”
A word that is not suitable for a gentle touch and is close to a curse.
After pouring out her wetness, Seo Liji easily guided her wheelchair.
I woke up early in the morning, but the weather wasn’t that cold, so it was perfect for an early morning walk.
And Fersen stared at Lizzy’s back as she was getting further and further away with complicated feelings, and then slowly walked away.
* * * * *
“Ha…… Ha…… Ugh! Ah! Argh!”
“Just a little more, just a little more…” … !”
With the help of an experienced midwife, Euphemia controls her breathing and gives her strength.
An hour had already passed, and Euphemia’s stamina began to decline rapidly.
Still, the nurse continued to encourage Euphemia as she was almost at the end of childbirth.
Although painkillers were injected in advance, the effect was weaker than expected.
If too strong a painkiller is injected, respiratory depression may occur in the born fetus.
And Uriel, who had made the room’s environment as close to sterile as possible through her vacuum, sat quietly on one side and looked at Euphemia giving birth.
Her attitude and skill with which Fersen treats her as a pregnant woman come from her learning through her.
Therefore, although Uriel was happy about Fersen’s kindness, a part of her felt a strange sense of displeasure.
Her husband’s change came from a woman other than her.
How great it would have been if the preparation process to become a father of a child had all come from himself.
Uriel often had such thoughts every time she fell asleep next to Fersen.
But at this moment, she subdued her ugly jealousy and, in a small way, cheered for Euphemia.
Her own due date is between the end of this year and January of next year.
Therefore, her own image clearly overlaps with the woman who is doing her best and who will soon become the mother of her child.
Soon……
“aaah!”
The sound of a baby crying, announcing the birth of life, spread.
A cute and lovely voice that would be difficult to call so loud.
“Oh, baby…” … “
And even though Euphemia’s strength was greatly weakened, she stretched out her trembling hands and struggled at the sound of the baby’s cries that never stopped.
The nurse skillfully cut the child’s umbilical cord, wrapped it in a cloth, and placed it in Euphemia’s arms.
“Congratulations…… “You really are a beautiful princess.”
“Ah…… “
A tiny creature that can’t even open its eyes properly and is busy dozing around inside its wrapping cloth.
But this time, Euphemia shed tears as she heard the slow beating of the heart on her chest and saw the child slowly stop crying.
As if she had completely forgotten the pain of giving birth, which lasted almost two hours, the deep motherly love engraved in her beautiful golden eyes.
“Oh, welcome…… “
I thought about that a lot before giving birth, thinking that I wanted it to be a boy.
When she actually gave birth to the child, Euphemia wondered if gender had anything to do with it, so she gently kissed her child’s forehead.
Page.
The only treasure in this world.
The child she carried in her womb for about a year, but will now hold in her heart for the rest of her life.
Yes.
May 2nd.
Eupemia El Lorenne Ruerg.
She became the mother of a child.
