I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 351

"I see. Did you have a twin?"

"Yes, it is, Archbishop Paul. For my part, I intend to raise the twins well. It could be troublesome later, but one of them could die prematurely."

"That's right. Looking beyond the emotional aspect, I don't think that having two successor candidates in your current situation is a bad story in itself."

"I knew it. In this case, I think the biggest problem is which of the twins is at the top of the inheritance right? Is there any way to find out?

"Unfortunately, there is no way to find out about inheritance rights. You'll have no choice but to find out later that it was better to take over naturally after you died."

"... is it easier to pass on magic to one of your children before you die?

"If you decide to raise twins well, I think that's the best way to do it. Decide which child will succeed you after the 6-year-old baptism ceremony. But it's hard for children. Do you understand, Ars?

"Does it hurt to be a successor to the Barca family?

"No, it's not. The very fact that you weren't chosen. That child will surely think so. Why wasn't I chosen? Why doesn't my father or anyone around me recognize me? Why is another brother who should have been born at the same time better than his own, who should be exactly the same? I'm sure it's going to be sentimental."

"... when I hear that, it seems to refract at the stage of growth."

"I can't say that's not possible. Besides, I don't know how people around me act. Everyone wants something. It could be wisdom on one side or the other."

"No, don't scare me too much, Archbishop Paul. I've decided to raise my twins healthily, but I'm starting to get anxious."

"Come on, Ars. You will be the Lord of the Barca Knight before being a father. What I have just said is by no means a matter of worrying. The twin problems of nobility and knights are so deeply rooted. There are precedents for all of that."

"Hmm, that's not exactly because I'm confident in raising a child... I feel absolutely greasy if I am not chosen in the same position. What should I do?"

"I have an idea. There's a way to keep both of your twins alive and out of the darkness of your mind and around you."

"Really, Archbishop Paul? How do you do that?

"You're going back to Vulcania now and you're going to kill one of the twins."

"Yes? Do you want me to die?

"That's right. It will already be known that twins have been born. So he died as soon as one child was born. That way, the one who has inheritance rights is left to decide. You won't be able to move around with twins."

"That may be true, but the prerequisites will collapse. You said you both wanted to raise them.

"I won't say anything bad. Give up raising both twins with you. One for you, and the other for your mother."

"To your mother?

"That's right. Your parents are still healthy, both physically and mentally. It's not strange to have a new child yet. One of the twins is raised by your mother Marie as her own child, your brother. That way, even if you have misfortune with the child you brought up with you, you can replace it."

In aristocratic and knight societies, twins are treated as abominations.

My child has been born into a society with such a bad image.

Just because I'm twin, I don't really think that's a bad thing.

So I was going to grow up without worrying about it.

However, it is necessary to always be aware of the surrounding eyes.

If we broadly announce that we will raise twins who are said to rub together as a successor problem, it may lead to unspoken slander.

It may also be said that those who cannot manage the crisis as knights are acting on behalf of the principal.

Leon and others were worried about that.

So I came back to Fontana once to get another person's opinion.

The person who seems to be the most knowledgeable, trustworthy, and tough about this story.

That was Archbishop Paul.

The advice of Archbishop Paul was quite simple.

The idea is that there should be more than one person with inheritance rights when something happens to me.

And a way to clear it while not letting people out of your surroundings.

It was about giving up one of the twins to my mother and raising her as a parent's child, that is, my brother.

I'm sorry about the kid, but I'll hide my identity.

You will only be raised as a child of your father and mother.

But in the end, I felt it was the best.

I talked to Lyon about this, and I agreed with Archbishop Paul.

So I decided to put this concealed children's plan devised by Archbishop Paul into practice.

Thus I lost my son immediately after he was born, and a brother was born on the same day.
