My Wife Is The Demon King

My son's name

The sun has risen and it started my day. It was a battlefield between me and my son. Although his only form of attack is his cold and mocking gaze, I can't back down from any form of provocation from him. After all, I need to show him that I am the head of the family, the backbone of this house. Even if he will be the next demon king, he should still listen to my beck and call.

The battle participant is me and my son with our battlefield location is at my wife's chest. I was battling for a spot to enjoy some fresh milk which is highly nutritious. Heh, I won't call it stealing from my son's plate since it wasn't served in a plate after all.

My wife can only shake her head looking at me. Although I kindly remind her again and again that I have the dignity that I shouldn't lose to my son in any kind of battle.

After the chaotic battle filled my son's cries and my wife reprimand me for reducing his nutrient intake, I stopped my battle for milk because I took pity on my son. After all, he still needs a lot to grow up. Especially for his elephant to rival my Excalibur.

As I am preparing to go to work, I heard my wife speaking to me.

"Dear, I think you forget something."

Looking back at her and lost in my thought, I don't think I am forgetting anything. I have made the bed, wash the dishes, sniff her panties, hung the laundry, basically, all the task that required me to do, I have done it all without forgetting anything.

"My dear, you forget to give our son a name."

Ah, finally I realized what did I forget. The first day he was born is filled with passionate love. The second day he was born is used to clean his bioweapon. It was only now that I remember that I haven't given him a name. I remember that when she was pregnant, my wife insisted that I should be the one who gives the name.

I am thinking for a while and I am confused. What should I name my son? Giving him a trash name for his cold glare at me? Giving him a lowly life name for reminding him that I stand superior to him? Or giving him a girly name to make him regret for ever thinking of going against me?

Ah, how can I be such a degraded father? A name means hope for every parent given to their child. What can I hope for my son who is destined to be the next demon king?

"Kazuki. Kazu means peace and ki means hope. He who brings hope for peace. Kazuki Redheart. That will be your name."

I took the last name Redheart from my wife as it seemed to be the family name of the demon king. Hearing the name that I give him, my wife is tearing up. I believe she didn't expect me to give her last name to our son. For me, I didn't need my last name since no one is familiar with it in this world. Even the name Kazuki was strange already for the people here.

I also notice some changes in my son's eye when he heard the name. it was as if his gaze softened for a bit before it returns to its usual coldness. Was it only my imagination?

Giving my son a pat and a steamy kiss for my wife, I bid my farewell and leave for work. Alright, I need to work hard today too, for my wife and my son.
