"What! Alisa has given birth to a child, and I have become a father?!"
In the grand hall, Xiulote widened his eyes and stood up abruptly. He was in disbelief, looking at the kneeling envoy of the King, urgently inquiring.
"Have I really become a father?..."
"Indeed, Your Highness!"
The King's envoy nodded respectfully, smiling in congratulations.
"Witnessed by the Chief Divine! At the end of July, Princess Alisa gave birth to a boy in the Lake Capital City...a distinguished little prince!"
"Ah! This?... Why was there no whisper of this beforehand to inform me?"
"...Your Highness was on campaign with the Southern Army, and the King wished not to affect you with this matter... Moreover, the King was also on campaign outside, and with the shifting political situation of the capital, the circumstances were complex... This was also for the safety of the Princess and the child."
The envoy lowered his head, reporting softly.
