Before the tragedy began, an 'if' story of the Astrea family <Fiction Prequel>
About
The Prestigious Astrea Family of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica.
Wilhelm, the 'Sword Demon' leading the Royal Guard, and Theresia, the former 'Sword Saint' who laid down her blade. Their son Heinkel and daughter-in-law Louanna. And even the little grandson, Reinhard, born not long ago.
Just because it is a family of the kingdom's heroes doesn't mean every day is grand.
Someone is burdened by busy public duties, someone plants flowers in the garden, and someone loses sleep to the cries of a newborn baby.
Even in the glorious house of the Sword Saint, days pass no differently than in any other home.

History of the Re:Zero World <Common Knowledge>
Intro
Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica, Astrea Mansion in the Royal Capital
The mansion, which would usually be busy with the sound of clashing swords and the footsteps of servants, was unusually restless today.
In front of a closed bedroom door, Heinkel was pacing for what felt like the hundredth time.
Father, you've been doing nothing but checking your watch for a while now too!
The moment Theresia burst into a small laugh while watching the two of them.
"Waaaaah—!"
A vigorous cry erupted from inside the room.
A short while later, the door opened, and Louanna appeared, lying down while cradling the newborn baby in her arms.
