If a Tyrant Becomes a Father

I was in a car accident the day after my twenty-fifth birthday with no one to celebrate. Should I be glad that I didn’t die on my birthday?



The first thought I had in front of the shadow of death was this.



‘Oh, if you thought this was going to happen, you’d cry when you want to cry and eat a bunch of delicious things.’



Now what if you come and regret it? If you are born again in the next life, you have to make a commitment to live well.



While enjoying ‘death’ in the deep darkness, a sudden puck on the left cheek! A silent shock came.



“……Mom!”



I didn’t even have time to figure out what had happened, and the shock hit my cheek again.



Perk!



“Oh, my god!”



Who’s disturbing my peace? I really wanted to oversleep?



I pushed something that hit my face with my hand and flashed my eyes.



“Oh, please……!”



“Oh! Mom



Yes?



With his immaculate skin, golden shimmering hair, transparent green eyes, and a little boy who looked to be about two or three years old, he looked at me and smiled at me, saying that he was the happiest in the world.



As I pulled myself up in embarrassment, he smiled brightly, jumped onto my chest and hugged me.



“Mummy”



I frowned at the slender arms of the child who ran and held him, and the hand that squeezed the hem of his clothes.



She couldn’t remember the last time she hugged someone.



It was strange to see someone look at me with such love.



Is she dreaming in the aftermath of a car accident?



As if happy that I had woken up, the child pressed his face against my chest and then grabbed my collar.



“Oh my gosh! Worth it!”



“Uh, uh? Let’s go together?”



Just in time, I heard an elephant stomping outside. It sounded more like a herd of elephants than an elephant.



Thump! Thump, thump, thump, thump! Do-do-do Wudangtang!



Quaang! There was a loud sound as if something was about to break, and small children poured out.



Without worrying that the door had been broken, I crouched down to avoid the children rushing over me.



“It’s Mommy, Mom! Gwaa



“Mom! I’m hungry!”



“Wait, Seti, Marley, Rie! If you hang on all of a sudden, it’s hard for your mother!”



A girl and a boy about five or six years old ran through the door and hung around my neck and called out ‘Mommy’.



The six- or seven-year-old boy who came running last tried to stop them, but they didn’t even pretend to listen.



Marley, Rie, Seti? I thought it was a name I’d heard somewhere familiar, so I fumbled with my memory for a while and realized it.



They had gorgeous blonde hair and green eyes, all of whom were children from the web novel <Tyrants and Archmages>. The children of the protagonist, tyrant Lucerne’s first love, who married another man. I dodged the children jumping on top of me as if they were playing, trying to figure out the situation somehow.



“Now, wait guys, I’m ugh! I’m your mother, ugh!”



Marley plopped down like she was jumping on my belly with a sullen look in her eyes, and my guts felt like they were going to pop out.



“Gasp! Gasp!”



Seti hit Marley on the head as he groaned as if he was about to vomit.



“Don’t do that!”



“Ah! Ah! It hurts!” Oh boy!



As Marley shook his fist as if threatening, Seti burst into tears and dug into my arms.



“Hey! Ah! Mom! I didn’t hit him yet! I was just trying to hit!”



Marley lowered her raised fist as if she were looking at me. As Seti dug into my arms, Rie, who was watching from the side, mumbled and crawled next to Seti.



“Mom, are you sick? Marley was bad. Whoa.” I will give you a ‘hoo’.



“Ummm, are you sick?



I accidentally hugged the two children.



My heart was pounding.



What is this? Am I dreaming? Did God send me a last warm dream as a gift because he felt sorry for me when I died alone?



Anyway this was good. The tip of my nose frowned at the kindness shown by the unfamiliar children.



Geo, who was unable to climb onto the bed and mumbled, hesitated and came closer.



“I’m sorry, Mom. I was asked to take good care of my younger siblings, but didn’t.”



Geo pursed his lips as if he was going to cry at any moment. He looked big among children, but he was only seven years old at best.



Having separated from my mother when I was seven years old, I knew the limits of being seven years old better than anyone else. No matter how hard I tried, the hands of a seven-year-old were just tiny hands of a seven-year-old.



He stretched out his arms that had wrapped Rie and Seti’s backs and extended them to Geo. And I said to that child what I wished someone would do to me then.



“It’s okay. Well done. Was it hard? Come here, I’ll give you a hug, Geo.”



Geo twitched his lips and he let out a wail and burrowed into my chest.



“I was scared, Mom!”



Seti looked at Geo, who was crying, with a face that didn’t understand why, and when he copied the sound of crying, Geo really brought tears to her eyes.



I patted the back of the children and thought about what to do, then lied.



“Yeah, sorry…. Uh, mom… I was wrong.”



I was only twenty-five, and the only contact I had with a man was to break the molester’s wrist. As long as I die and don’t wake up, I have these children.



It never happened. There wasn’t, but I felt like I should still say ‘Mom’.



Fortunately, the children sobbed or laughed as if they were relieved by my words and hugged me more tightly.



Marley, who was standing alone far away, mumbled and looked at me.



Yeah, you want to be hugged, too.



He smiled and reached out to Marley.



“Come here, Marley.”



Marley jumped into my arms and hugged me, smiling happily as if she had never noticed.



“Ehehe. I’m sorry to hurt you mom.”



“It’s all right. It’s nothing now.”



“It’s because I gave you a ho.” Isn’t that right?”



“Woong! Gooch.”



“Hey, what’s the use of hohoing like that? If you’re going to do it, you have to do it properly.”



Geo, who was in my arms, rose up in amazement.



“No! Marley! You can’t do it in the house!”



But Marley ignored Geo’s words and breathed triumphantly into my face.



Whoo!



There was a storm.



I was out of my mind.



The wind stopped quickly, but the room became a mess. Should I say that it’s a relief that there weren’t many items?



The fact that these small children are the “Archmages” of <Tyrants and Archmages> was even more surprising when I actually saw them, even though I had read the novel.



“Marley, that’s not there. Mom’s clothes are the second compartment of the drawer.”



“Oh just put it anywhere. You’re going to take it out when you wear it anyway.”



“Ah! I want you.”



“Seti, you just go over there and play. You’re not helping, you’re messing around more.”



“Don’t do that, Rie. I’m trying to help Seti. Seti, can you get your mother’s pillow over there?”



“Yes!”



“After all, Geo is so nice.”



Looking at the children who were cleaning hard, he contrasted the faces with the names of the children in <Tyrant and the Archmage>.



“Well done, Seti. So would you like to get some cushions over there this time?”



The slender and tall six to seven-year-old boy’s name is Geo.



Although he was used to the role of big brother, he skillfully led the children and arranged the room.



“Oh bother! The warrior Marley is not a cleaning fairy!”



The name of the boy lying on the floor after throwing away his things he was organizing is Marley. He was a famous mischievous boy in <Tyrant and Archmage>, and he was the same here as he was.



“Get up! It’s messy because you used magic in your room!”



The name of the girl, Marley and the fraternal twin is Rie. Although he was young, he was coy and sincere, and he always had a strong relationship with Marley, who had opposite personalities.



The name of the kid who wakes me up from death and slaps Marley in the face with a cushion is Seti.



Although he was young, he was lively and sociable, so he was an admirable guy who didn’t get discouraged even when he was among his older sisters and brothers.



They were all different lengths, but they were all beautiful children with gorgeous blonde hair and jewel-like green eyes.



I reflected my face on the surface of a wall-mounted candlestick that looked like it would soon fall off.



“I can’t believe I’m such a beauty.”



I saw a woman with curly blonde hair and green eyes just like the children. She was Astia, the mother of the children and the first love of the tyrannical emperor.



As an ordinary woman herself, I was unfamiliar with myself.



I thought that if I was shocked, I would wake up from my dream.



Damn! Damn!



I slapped my cheeks a few times, but only happy things happened with surprised children running and clinging to me, but I didn’t wake up from my dream.



“Mom, why are you hitting me?”



“Hmm, are you tired?”



“Are you okay? If you are tired, lie down and rest. We’ll clean it up for you.”



Unlike Rie, Seti, and Geo who clung to me while worrying about me, Marley pursed her lips and clasped her hands behind her head.



“Sheesh. My mother is sick all the time.”



Seti ran over and pinched Marley’s thigh.



“It’s time Marley!”



“Aye, why are you hitting me?”



Marley raised her hand as if threatening Seti and Seti sprinted and hid between my knees. Rie stuck out her pursed lips.



“Marley, do you hate your mother then?”



Marley stiffened in surprise, and Seti and Rie triumphantly snuggled into my arms.



“I like my mother. As good as the universe, as good as the earth!”



“Does mother like us too?”



Cute guys.



I laughed like an idiot and copied the children’s words.



“Well, I like you. I love you as much as the earth as much as the universe.”



“Wow! Mom says she likes us! Who is your favorite mom? Am I the best? I don’t get into trouble like Marley, I’m smarter than Seti, and I’m more charming than Geo.”



“Hey, to be honest, you always play with fire anywhere and make my mother in trouble.”



“Rie, don’t ask like that. Our mother is in trouble.”



Geo glanced at me while trying to stop Rie.



I smiled and hugged Rie, Seti, and Geo in my arms.



“Mom loves you all equally.”



“Except Marley?”



Marley jerked her head away with her grim expression as if she were about to burst into tears.



“What are you talking about? Of course I love Marley too.”



With the three children in her arms, she hurriedly walked over and took Marley in her arms as well. Big loves that she could barely hold with her arms outstretched.



What if it’s a novel or what if it’s a dream?



I decided to enjoy this moment of being loved by these children.
