her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pregnant, pregnant, pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahahhahahahahhahahaha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon’s joy oozed out as he couldn’t contain it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly happy for both Lucius and his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder that Lucius didn’t want her to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he panicked a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he knew everything about childbirth, he knew that it was good for pregnant women to exercise regularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it wasn’t proper to keep her in her room all day long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, his worries didn’t die down as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This won’t do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to add her bodyguards, get a full-time nurse to be by her side, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the pregnancy was six months gone, she would get maternity leave from all her jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, she would get the leave when she felt like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon didn’t want to be too pushy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was her body, and she more than anyone else knew what she could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Kim chuckled while listening to her son and her husband make arrangements for the baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hopefully, it’s a girl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what I was hoping for too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucius nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wanted a little imp who would be taking his wife’s attention away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already in his 40’s, and he had taken Landon as his son for the last 18 years of the boy’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to them when Landon was just one year old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Landon, his son, would be turning 20 this November and will be marrying Lucy sometime next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he felt like a father who had successfully watched over his son’s life from infant to a.d.u.l.thood\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was done with sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted a soft squishy daughter who he could pamper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell wanted a boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already decided to pray to the ancestors for a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hopefully, his wish would come true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon had a similar desire as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just preferred to have a little sister over a little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if it were a boy, he would still love him to bits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But com’on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl was just way cuter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When little Linda came here, she was just nine years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so cute that Landon almost had a heart attack every time she released her ultra-cute power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she grew up, the little girl didn’t stick to her brother all that much again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon had invisible tears in his eyes and instantly knew how parents felt when watching their children leave them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now mature and slowly grew into an outstanding lady, which was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still missed the sticky princess from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most parents or older siblings also missed their daughter’s\u002Fyounger sibling’s sticky nature when they were younger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was just the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, his mother was pregnant again and he had a chance of getting a younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how can he not want it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sister\u002Fdaughter fan club was here to stay, with Lucius and Landon holding signboards while cheering mother Kim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(*^∆^*)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for mother Kim, she too wanted a daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already had a son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she also hopped aboard the Daughter train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio discussed merrily about breaking the news to the public, as well as long other traditional ceremonies too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Kim suddenly frowned when she thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Landon, we are royals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as you know, the royals in our continent, as well as those from within the continents of Veinitta and Morgany, have some traditions that must be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them is the birthing procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As royals, you know that we have to give birth in front of 300 witnesses in a hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Son, I don’t want to do this again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Kim trembled a bit when she thought of her birthing scene when Landon came to this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process was very degrading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These public births were done to ensure that the child was legitimate and born from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because some noblewomen sometimes lied that they were pregnant and later stole babies just to continue staying in their noble homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a rough era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And any woman who couldn’t bear a child was deemed useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperate times called for desperate measures among nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the group of witnesses had to watch everything for themselves to ensure that she was indeed the mother of the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, they also did this check if the child is evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any form of disability was taken as a sign of evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at times, both mother and child would be banished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t the reason why she hated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 300 witnesses watching her every move, how could she be comfortable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, she opened her legs to all these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they in turn watched her perplexing moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Childbirth wasn’t clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most women pooped during labour, and they also farted as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the hospitals, they would clean up the poop and discard it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the royals would keep the poop in a bucket until the delivery is over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell would fill the same room that had several men and women watching in there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they would be judging on how you conduct during the delivery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, some women got convicted as demons, while others were laughed at, making their reputations plummet to be ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Royals had to have at least 300 people watching; nobles needed 15~200 people watching, depending on their nobility class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women had been subjugated to this and had prepared themselves over the years to give birth like a pro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noblewomen controlled themselves and would rather die than let their reputation fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Mother Kim, at the time, she was just a 17-year-old newly hired maid who knew nothing of noble or palace delivery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had travelled to the city from a village along the outskirts in search of a stable job after the death of her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Alec ravished her just a month after she got hired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she was about to give birth at 18, she who was ignorant was sent to the hall for all to bear witness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other wives also came as well to see her make a joke of herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as they predicted, she became a laughing stock amongst the nobles and maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to them, she had passed out too much gas when compared to the regular noblewomen, and her poop was a lot as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was blamed for not being able to control her bodily fluids in front of men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news also made Alec strongly feel that she was an undeserving woman, as well because now, she made him lose face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of his ministers, knights and others had seen her disapproving attitude, which made him feel like his reputation was being attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just one of the many reasons why Alec hated her\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When mother Kim remembered the scene, she was scared silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will she have to go through that too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She trembled like a frightened chicken while biting her lips anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Landon and Lucius hurriedly tried to calm her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, it will be alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re pregnant now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So take it easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the birthing process, we are Baymardians and have our way of doing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry; I will never allow you to go through that again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Kim still looked worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, but, but wouldn’t that make others look down on us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They dare?\" But Lucius and Landon exclaimed coldly in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, don’t you trust our son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can he allow that to happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More still, don’t you trust me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the beat isn’t up to the task, then just know that I’ll always be there for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Kim looked at Lucius with watery eyes and felt touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she wanted her face in his chest, Lucius just looked at Landon and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when were they competing here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the matter of mother Kim’s pregnancy was handled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time for business!\u003C\u002Fp>",1376,"2026-06-03T07:55:32.838Z","2026-06-03T07:55:39.972Z",1,"novelbin.me","43f24b81dc49ca0709932e737da16dd5e946d5e660948c9413fbaa020556d62f","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-844","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-842",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
