Chapter 1723: Birth of a ruler (3)

After a while, I was finally allowed to see my son.

Before seeing him, I had already guessed that he was a boy and had been going over names for him.

When the others asked me how I knew that he was a boy, I didn’t say anything.

While it wasn’t that I discriminated against women, it was just that in my past life, in my past culture, this kind of thing usually represented a son.

So that was why I guessed that it was a son that had been born.

When I was allowed in to see Angela and my son, I wasn’t alone.

In fact, the two that came with me pushed me out of the way so that they could see him first.

Of course, they didn’t just want to see my newly born son.

"Are you alright?"

"Darling, how are you feeling?"

The first thing that the two of them did was check in on Angela to make sure that she was fine after giving birth.

Since she had already rested, she wasn’t as tired as she had been previously. Though I could tell that she was still tired even though she had already rested for a bit.

I didn’t blame her since childbirth certainly wasn’t anything simple.

After walking over, I said, "Thank you."

Angela just ignored her brother and father as she looked at me with a smile.

Seeing this, the two of them glared at me for a bit before turning to look at my newly born son in his crib.

He was still sleeping with his eyes closed, but we could all tell that he was quite healthy.

In fact, it even seemed like he was so healthy that there was a glow around him...

No, there was indeed a glow that was around him.

It was only there when one looked carefully, but that was certainly a faint golden glow that was around my newly born son.

"What a majestic figure, it’s clear that he’s meant to rule in the future."

"Don’t rush him, let him take over at his own pace. We still have that to watch over the throne until it’s time for him to take over."

"Right, we don’t want to rush him onto the throne. We should let that stay on the throne for as long as possible."

A bitter smile appeared on my face when I heard the two of them referring to me as "that" as if I couldn’t hear them.

Still, I didn’t say anything as I observed my son.

As expected, he was the same as the others.

The golden glow that came from him seemed to be coming from the divine energy that was inside of him. I was able to feel the resonance coming from him, which showed that he possessed the same divine energy as me.

Just like with my three daughters, it seemed that I had passed down my divine energy to my son as well.

At the same time, I could feel the same affinity for spirits that my daughters had coming from him. After all, there were small spirits that were hiding from the others that only I could see.

If it wasn’t for Ifrit and Undine restraining them, they would have tried to form a contract with my son even without his permission.

There was no doubt that my son was destined to be someone special in the future.

"What name should we give him?" When the previous king asked this, it was as if a bomb had been dropped.

Noah and the previous king narrowed their eyes to look at me as if they were wary of me. But then the two of them turned to look at each other as if they were wary of each other instead.

It seemed like they both had ideas for names and they didn’t want the other person to come up with a name first.

But before either of them could come up with a name, Angela suddenly asked, "What do you think we should name him?"

The one that she asked this question to was me.

Both Noah and the previous king immediately looked at her with shocked expressions before turning to look at me. The way that they looked at me was as if they were trying to compel me to ask them what the name of my newly born son should be.

However, I didn’t ask either of them this.

Instead, I just looked down at my newly born son with a look of thought on my face.

After a moment of silence, I said, "Arthur."

As soon as they heard this, both Noah and the previous king glared at me angrily as if they couldn’t believe that I would betray them like this.

However, Angela had a smile on her face when she heard this.

She seemed to repeat this name to herself under her breath after hearing it before suddenly saying, "This name is great."

Noah and the previous king looked devastated when they heard this before glaring at me again.

But then the two of them seemed like they were seriously considering this name as they seemed to think about it. After a while, the two of them nodded in agreement to this name as well.

"It seems like there really is something special about this name."

"It feels like there’s some kind of hidden majesty to it."

This wasn’t just them saying words, the two of them were giving their honest opinions after thinking about it.

Since they all agreed, this was the name that was decided for my newly born son.

Of course, this wasn’t a name that was randomly chosen.

In my past life, this was the name of a famous king.

Since there were all these signs that my son would become a great ruler one day, then it was only natural that he would be named after a famous king.

Though this name was a Western name and my son had an Eastern symbol that he would be king.
