22 Birth of Lyla and Lydia

More than four months had passed since the king's death.

In the nursery, Luna and Livia were giving birth.

"Daddy, is little sisters coming?" Lily asked cutely.

"Yes, your little sisters is about to be born," Maximus eased his nervousness as he hugged Lily.

Although he already had four children, he still felt nervous like a new father.

"Dad, relax," the three-year-old Liam comforted him.

"Daddy, is it not little brothers?" the one-year-old Max, who was still sniffling, asked.

"No, it's a little sister! Daddy promised me!" Lily, like an overlord big sister, said confidently.

"But I want a brother!"

"Brother, I'm here," Nathan, who was usually silent, comforted him.

"B-but I want little brothers~," Max held back his tears.

"There are already three boys, and I'm the only big sister. I need little sisters more!" Lily refuted.

While the kids were quarreling, he was notified by his system of his child's birth.

"The child is born!" The midwife who had been assisting with the birth also came out of the room.

"Thank you; you can collect your reward later," Maximus said as he hurriedly entered the room.

"The little sister is here!"

"No, it's a little brother!"

The children also rushed inside.

...

Inside, Maximus saw Luna and Livia holding their children.

They were indeed twins, even giving birth is at the same time.

"How are you two?"

"We're fine, husband."

"Anyway, look at our angel."

They said, looking at the peaceful faces of their babies.

"Hmm, they are indeed beautiful like angels."

"They inherited their mother's looks perfectly," Maximus praised as he took the two children in his arms.

"I will name you two Lyla and Lydia."

Giggle*

As they understood what he said, the two babies giggled.

"Your child is so beautiful."

"Just like our babies back then."

"Unfortunately, they've already grown and become naughty,"

Hazel and Erica muttered, poking Lyla and Lydia's cheeks.

Giggle*

"Haha, isn't another one coming?" Luna joked, looking at their stomachs.

"Uh, right."

Just a few weeks ago, Hazel and Erica had become pregnant again.

Maximus could only sigh at their fertility.

"Daddy, let me hold my little sisters!"

"No, it's dangerous."

"But I want to hold my little sisters."

"No holding," Maximus didn't relent.

"Oh~"

Seeing that her father didn't budge.

Lily had no choice but to admire her little sisters from the side.

"Little sisters, it's me, your big sister Lily~"

Giggle*

"So cute," Lily was melted by their cuteness.

Even Max, who had hoped for little brothers, was defeated.

"I guess little sisters aren't bad," Max said maturely.

"Hi! Little Sisters,"

Liam and Nathan didn't bother with Max as they played with their newly born sisters.

"You-"

"Don't hog my little sisters for yourself!"

Seeing his children welcome Lyla and Lydia, Maximus smiled.

He opened his system to check the status of his children.

Looking at the potential of his child, he unconsciously smiled.

Unfortunately, the system generated points based on strength, not on potential.

Otherwise, his talent would have skyrocketed by now.

He then thought of upgrading his wives' and children's talent, but it's not something he can afford right now.

The resources in the system that can upgrade talent is not something millions of gold can buy.

"Alright, you should let your little sisters rest," Maximus said, seeing that the two babies were already sleepy.

...

A few days later,

Maximus was organizing papers in Moonshadow City.

After months of chaos, the situation of the kingdom gradually stabilized.

Well, that's for the high in power and the wealthy people.

As for the common people, due to the chaos, many lost their homes.

Without homes and land, they couldn't even eat.

Across the Faerie Kingdom, it was filled with hungry refugees looking for somewhere to stay.

Moonshadow City opened its arms and accepted whomever.

Giving them homes and jobs.

However, it's not enough.

The number of people who can reach Moonshadow City is too small compared to the number of refugees.

Without enough food, how can they have the energy to travel to Moonshadow City?

Furthermore, even though his city is popular due to its richness and generosity.

Few people of low standing know of such a thing.

As for why Maximus bothered himself with this.

Perhaps it's just his whim, a thought that he couldn't bear to see people like this.

Perhaps he wanted to make a change, to see to what extent he could do.

Anyway, with money and the system in hand, this didn't affect him too much.

For now, he just wanted to make homes for these poor people as much as he could.

While Maximus was reminiscing, a knock came at the door.

"I've seen the lord," Doran greeted.

The nobility ranking no longer worked, so most of the officials either called him lord or master.

"Hmm, you're here. How is the clothing and wine business?"

"It's going well, although our profits have been down in the past few months."

"It's been picking up this time. It seems that the nobles are done fighting," Doran narrated.

"That's good. Just continue what you are doing."

"I called you this time to form a caravan."

"A caravan?"

"Yes, that's right. Is there a large excess of food in our granary?"

"It'll be a waste not to sell those things and watch them rot."

"This... It's indeed so," Doran also thought of this and agreed.

The size of the farmland multiplied in size as refugees kept coming and Maximus accepting them.

As there are no other jobs in the city, Maximus can only let them farm.

Those refugees were also thankful as they finally had something to eat.

"Furthermore, you can also solicit refugees and provide transportation to here."

"Refugees? Transportation?" Doran didn't understand the thought process of his lord.

Wasting precious resources and money just for refugees.

"Just do it. I have a plan,"

Maximus didn't bother what Doran thought as long as he executed the task well.

"As ordered, my lord," Doran bowed and left.
