One Week
The old woman's name is Felticia.
She is an advisor to the lord of Garcia Barony.
After becoming an adult, she worked as a nurse at a clinic while studying to be an apothecary and working hard to master recovery magic.
After gaining a certain amount of mana, she entered the church in earnest and aimed to learn healing magic, but she was fed up with the internal affairs of the church and the corruption of the upper echelons, and was branded as having no possibility of learning healing magic. Apparently, she was excommunicated from the church.
After that, she traveled around the country imitating the role of a midwife or apothecary, learning various things in each place and town, and eventually became known as a sage.
And now, she plans to spend the rest of her life in this Garcia territory.
Granny Fel has been taking care of my mother, Lilei Garcia, without a break since I was born.
At certain times of the day, she would mix a blood booster with moderately cold water and slowly give it to Lilei in a pitcher.
Thanks to that, she seems to have overcome it and her face has regained a lot of color.
The [God's Eye] shows that one-third of her HP has been restored.
Now it's time to cure the mana deficiency......
I switch the mana to light magic and keep it flowing. This is because it is easier to penetrate in terms of supplying mana.
"I am surprised. The control of light magic is perfect, and the timing of the supply of mana is perfect. Are you a messenger of God after all?"
Granny Fel, who seemed a little surprised, patted my head.
The next morning after Lilei stabilized. Granny Fel left the maid in charge and went to take a nap in the guest room.
I kept my hand on Lilei and kept the light magic flowing all the time. Thanks to this, my level of recovery magic is increasing quite quickly, and I'm gaining skills in light magic as well. I'll have to cover this up with my [God's Eye] ability as soon as possible......
I copy all the skills that seem to be useful from the maids, butlers, etc. All hidden, of course.
Two days after giving birth, Lilei woke up.
Her first words upon awakening were, [Where is my husband?].
I had a slightly bad feeling about this.
She prioritizes her husband over her newborn child...
I still feel uneasy...
After that, after sitting up a little, Lilei finally picked me up after being encouraged by Granny Fel.
"Is this my baby? He doesn't look anything like me or my husband."
Isn't that kind of an insult?
As I thought about this, Granny Fel once again encouraged her and gave me breast milk, which would be my first meal in this world.
"Breastfeeding is such a hassle."
Both Granny Fel and the maid are stunned by these words.
A few moments later, Stefano Garcia, my father and the lord of this barony, appeared with a knock at my door.
Then, Lilei left me with the maid and immediately clung to Stefano.
"Lilei. I'm glad you're safe."
Saying that, Stefano hugged Lilei back.
"Thank you, husband♪"
When Lilei said so, she kissed Stefano's cheek.
After that, they continued to talk about other things, and as they were leaving, Stefano told Lilei about me.
"Lilei. The child you gave birth to will be named [Light] from now on. And in five days we will discuss his future at a family meeting. Is that clear?"
Without even thinking about it, Lilei replied, [Yeah, that's fine].
Eh... My name was decided very easily, but [Light]? Hmmm... subtle......
Even though Granny Fel had instructed her to hold me as long as possible, Lilei was quite unrestrained, leaving me with the maid immediately, or slipping out of bed and going to Stefano on the fourth night after the birth.
Granny Fel had no choice but to use a diluted mana potion to treat her magic deficiency.
I had come to the conclusion that these parents were no good, and I didn't care what happened to Lilei.
My priority now is to gather and scrutinize information.
The task is to look at the people who come and go in this limited space with [God's Eye], gather information, and organize it in my head.
I will summarize what is currently known.
First of all, in addition to Stefano, the lord of this Baron Garcia household, there are 15-year-old eldest son Adio and 12-year-old second son Felika. These two are children from his previous marriage.
In other words, Lilei is his second wife, and I am the second wife's child.
Lilei was the daughter of the head of the baron's knighthood, but she had been devoted to Stefano since she was a child.
And after his ex-wife passed away, she approached Stefano aggressively, and they got married because Stefano had his hands on Lilei.
Lilei has a very bad reputation among the servants. Specifically, she is single-minded and, to put it in a bad way, extremely obsessed with Stefano.
She wants to stay by Stefano's side all the time, and even neglects the child she gave birth to and the children of his former wife, which causes the servants to look at her with contempt.
Stefano, the lord, doesn't take a resolute attitude toward Lilei, and the fact that he spoils her as much as she wants is not well-received by the servants.
The eldest son, Adio, has an arrogant attitude, probably because he is destined to be the next head of the family, and is rough, probably because of his fondness for martial arts.
In the past, there were servants who quit because of violence by Adio.
The second son, Felika, is smart, but he sometimes shows off his intelligence, and he sometimes makes fun of the servants.
It seems that he sometimes harasses people he doesn't like.
That's why our Baron Garcia family has a bad reputation among the servants who are supposed to support us. Sebas, the head butler, comforts and kindly supports the servants.
In addition to working as a butler, Sebas is also in charge of the administration of the territory under the trust of Stefano, the lord, and has the authority to coordinate with the various guilds and handle various other miscellaneous matters.
This Sebas has come to check on me almost every day since I was born and has been concerned about my condition.
To be honest, the only people I can trust in this Baron family are Sebas, Granny Fel, who serves as the advisor, and Martha, an old maid who is almost becoming my personal maid.
Yep. It's a tough road ahead......
Thanks for the chapter
