That’s why I was able to make a stronger resolution to leave Theodore.
Such a father is more than nothing to my precious babies.
‘But…’
If Theodore hadn’t lost his memory.
If only he were a good, right, and kind-hearted man I knew.
Er and Lia would had a father.
‘If he did that, I might have been a little happier.’
A scene flashed before my eyes.
Theo!
Oh no, you have to be careful, my fiancee. What if the baby in your stomach gets surprised?
But my baby is complaining that he can’t wait to see his dad.
I remembered Theodore’s voice and his friendly smile as he gently greeted the baby in Katarina’s stomach, saying, “Hi, baby.”
I clenched my fists.
‘That doesn’t mean our babies are unhappy right now.’
I didn’t regret my choice.
I stared at the door with my lips tightly closed.
When I did not respond to the appeal of tears and recognition, the man eventually offered new terms of negotiation.
“Three, three billion gold!”
“……?”
“This money is the equivalent of a decent estate!”
“You’re going to give me 3 billion gold?”
“Yes, so…….”
This kind of reward was never been heard.
Three billion gold.
It was an astronomical amount.
With that money…
I can live as a nobleman in a big kingdom like Kerbel.
The next day after returning to the mansion, I was able to see that Erwin has talent in swordsmanship.
Since then, I’ve had more thoughts.
First of all, while teaching Erwin swordsmanship, I have to hide his power as much as possible.
However, at the same time, I was worried about whether Erwin could hide it until he became an adult.
It was too much power for a three-year-old commoner boy to have.
It was unclear whether I could completely beat those who approached him with a bad intention by myself.
‘But with the money, I can buy a new identity and slowly build up my strength. That alone will prevent the black-hearted people from approaching with a bad heart.’
Of course it won’t be an easy road either.
I wasn’t as confident of building a fence as hard as Chernisia.
But the three billion gold that the man said would serve as the foundation for building a moderately large and moderately hard fence for children.
Squeak-
When I opened the door, the man smiled brightly and rejoiced.
“Are you finally thinking of accepting the offer?”
“By the way, can you really give me three billion golds?”
Caligor is a very small kingdom, isn’t it?
I asked, looking at the man with suspicious eyes.
“When the king abandoned the castle and fled, he packed the treasure.”
“…….”
I looked at the man who spoke proudly with his chest puffed up and as if he were a peacock.
“Don’t think too much. The only thing the Emperor is after the royals, so our Highness must survive…….”
I was lost in thought, listening to what the man said.
‘Can I beat Theodore?’
I didn’t know because I’ve never competed with him.
‘It’s better not to bump into each other for now.’
I waited for a dark night before moving along with the man.
