We went on vacation together, but that didn’t mean we planned to act together.

“What will you be doing?”

Isabel had an unfamiliar expression on her face.

“At first, I just wanted to come out, but when I came out, there was nothing to do. What are you going to do, Sihyeon?”

“There is someone you need to meet.”

I have to go see Edeline.

If I walk leisurely from now on, it will take about two days?

I needed to tell them my story and get them involved in the plan.

“···If it’s okay, could you give me one night?”

Isabel glanced at me and rolled her eyes.

For Isabelle, it seemed that Anne was behind this bold voice.

Because he was looking at me without knowing it.

“Not if you don’t like it.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.”

Isabel looked like Anne overlapped with her.

Is it right for me to touch this foolish person? Isabel holds my hand.

“You still don’t trust me. So, in order to attract me, you either took my side or continued to look out for my convenience.”

“···Did you know?”

“When you become a princess, such flattery becomes more noticeable.”

What I was doing was showing off.

But Isabel doesn’t care and takes my hand.

“I’ll make it so you don’t have to think about that anymore.”

It turns out I wasn’t the only one who wanted to get a confirmation and put a stamp on it.

Why is he so anxious that he demands to sleep with me, who is at risk of pregnancy, rather than someone of a different race?

“Are you uncharacteristically bold?”

I looked at Anne secretly.

The gaze of Isabelle, who read my gaze, added together, creating a strange gaze triangle.

“If you want, I can make it so you don’t have to.”

It was clear that Anne had been delirious.

‘Have you still not given up the fantasy?’

You may need to show how bitter your illusions are.

If you soak the testicles in warm water for about 15 minutes, the sperm will die.

He hugged Isabelle’s slim waist, hugged her small head, and gently brought his face to hers.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like she was feeling rejected, so I kissed Isabelle lightly and looked into Isabelle’s eyes.

‘Your pupils are tense.’

The way he glances at Anne asking for help is obvious to anyone.

When I hit it slightly, it looks at me with slightly widened eyes.

Did you know to stop? We started kissing properly.

Even though he was startled by the feel of his tongue and tried to take a step back, he couldn’t run away because he was holding him.

Isabel is getting hotter, like a heater that has just been turned on and gradually gets warmer.

‘It’s refreshing.’

I try to pretend otherwise, but it’s so refreshing.

I am filled with the desire to pick on the appearance that does not match my beauty.

[Take off the spout.]

“──────?!!!”

Isabel was startled and pushed me away.

······Let’s leave it at this.

“···I’m going crazy because of my medical condition.”

[Deviation? Do you have the right to say that you have a medical condition? See you in ten days.]

Lexi gives a horrifying warning and then becomes quiet.

Fuck.

“Ha… I’m dead.”

He might stab me with a spear again.

Isabelle looked up at me with a puzzled expression.

“···Are you okay?”

“I have to go now.”

“···Yes.”

Isabel also smiles awkwardly and nods.

Ugh. I’ll have to pray all the way.

* * * * * *

In search of the scent of apples, I hid my presence and walked inside the Grand Engineering Academy.

‘Nothing has changed here.’

Edeline’s scent was still coming from the basement.

I silently opened the basement door, went downstairs, and walked into the basement where Edeline was staying.

“Hello.”

“···Are you here?”

The smile that lightly smiles and welcomes you is so warm.

“I missed you.”

When I hug Edeline, Edeline also hugs me.

“How have you been?”

“I had a good time as always. How did you experience that vision?”

A bright smile, as if something happy has happened, is particularly noticeable.

“It was huge. There’s already a mountain of things I want to say and things I want to say.”

Edeline’s help is essential for my future schedule.

So I had to explain and get help.

What will happen in the future. What I planned. train. Encroachment without war.

Edeline’s expression changed from moment to moment, and it made me happy to know that it wasn’t acting.

···I changed Edeline.

Thanks to me, Edeline has her smile back!

As we excitedly told the story and went back, Edeline’s expression gradually began to harden.

“Sihyeon.”

“Yes.”

“Stay away from Isabella di Habstenburg.”

“Yes? Why?”

“She is dangerous.”

I don’t really think she’s in danger.

He is only a sixteen-year-old child.

“No. He wasn’t that dangerous.”

“You should not look at the situation intuitively. If you are sure that someone is tricking you, you should expect the most unlikely and unimaginable thing.”

As I said, it is true that the servant played a trick.

But this is something that is unlikely to happen and is unthinkable?

“You need to judge the number of different cases and think about the future that will come to Sihyeon.”

“Without that person, we can’t overcome the current situation.”

“Si-hyeon is honest, but the political world is a place where treacherous people gather.”

···This is the first time I have seen Edeline disparaging someone else.

‘What kind of bugs are they full of?’

It was hard to imagine.

“Are there so many people who smell like people? I’m a little excited.”

“···You are no longer single.”

“Yes?”

Edeline laughs awkwardly.

You’re not living alone?! I never thought the day would come when I’d hear something like this from Edeline!

Seeing the change in my appearance made me smile without even realizing it.

“I will be as careful as possible. There’s no way I could leave Edeline and go first, right?”

I hugged Edeline tightly.

“···It’s not just me.”

It’s not just me?

“Yes?”

Ubuuu… Ah! Mom!

A sound like a baby cooing was heard.

huh?

Where does this sound come from?

“The child’s name was decided to be Rohan.”

uh? baby? It’s not my baby, is it?

“Really?”

“Could you please choose Sihyeon’s last name?”

Why did I decide that?

That’s up to the child’s father to decide.

‘···for a moment.’

My heart began to beat wildly at Edeline’s smile and the child’s cooing.

“···This is my child?”

“Yes. This is our son.”

my son? why?

Why is my son, who I don’t even know, here?

“···Can you explain?”

“That day, when Sihyeon hugged me… the child came to me.”

My hair turned white at the fresh tone of speech that seemed like a confession.

pregnancy? Pregnant? My baby?

“···Can you show me first?”

“Yes!”

Edeline smiles and takes the lead.

With a pure smile on his face, as if he wanted to show off, he took my hand and led me to the nursery.

“You must take off your shoes here.”

“Yes.”

The carpet is as clean as new and there are toys and books everywhere.

A perfect playground for children.

There…

“Mom!”

A child who was drawing a picture waddles over.

Although he fell in the process, he got up and came back without any hesitation.

What is it?

Isn’t it supposed to be about a year old to be able to walk and babble?

In the first place, we broke up for about 10 months.

If she was pregnant, this was the period during which the baby would have been born.

But never when the child is walking.

“···It’s cute.”

Is this really my child?

Is it possible that there is a big illness in Edeline’s heart?

Is there something going on that I don’t know about?

“Hello?”

I stroked the child… The child dodged my hand and clung to Edeline. I don’t even care.

Edeline picks up the child and gently caresses it.

“It is right to have a natural birth, but I chose to give birth early because I wanted to see each other early.”

Can you choose that?

“···I think the child is about one year old?”

“Yes. Humans are very vulnerable before the age of one. We promoted the child’s growth in preparation for possible dangerous situations.”

What Edeline said is correct.

My head feels tight.

‘I haven’t prepared anything yet?’

Accelerating the growth of a child born early and turning one year old?

It’s not some kind of magic—it’s magic!

“···Is that okay? It is a period when a child learns and grows.”

“I have complete control over brain development. There are no emotional or physical problems at all. Your child will grow up to have the right values and a strong body.”

no. That’s not what I meant─── The words were stuck in my throat and couldn’t come out.

I don’t know. A situation that only appears in science fiction movies is happening right in front of your eyes.

“···There are no side effects, right?”

“Once secondary growth begins, the procedure must be performed twice, once every three years. I plan to carry out the surgery.”

I used to think that all people who reject new technology in science fiction movies were idiots. but···.

It’s only been 10 months since I slept with Edeline.

I gave birth to a one-year-old child in 10 months, and I can’t help but feel a sense of disconnection.

“···Is this really my child?”

Edeline looks at me intently.

Eventually, he nodded his head with a slightly excited expression on his face.

I guess he finally understood my feelings, and I felt nervous behind the awkward smile that was disappearing.

“···Yes.”

truth.

···I am the father?

like this? Did you come back from the military and have a child with someone you only had one night with?

“You may feel some resistance…”

Eyes full of tension, uncharacteristic of Edeline, look up at me.

“Won’t you love this child?”

The child looks up at me, following Edeline’s gaze.

···My son whom I do not know, and a strange father whom my son does not know.

I───

“Of course.”

Although we cannot love, we must try to love.

Because this is the result of my actions. I gently held Edeline and the child together.

“Abua…?”

“Yes. Dad.”

I’m a father

How many times have you made the assumption in your head, ‘If only I could become a father?’

I had no idea that I would become a father like roasting beans in the heat of lightning.

But I did it.

Although there is still a sense of separation and lack of rapport, Yuso told me.

You said that’s something all parents go through.

“Thank you…”

Edeline’s once sad smile gives me vitality.

I don’t have the confidence to overcome the immense happiness that can be compared to euphoria.

“It’s natural.”

Even though I say it, I don’t know.

Is this normal? This situation is becoming very difficult.

What is right and what is wrong?

The moral notions I have in my head are not helpful.

As if I was unfamiliar, Rohan only looked at Edeline.

It was only natural that Edeline called me to decide the sex of her child.

The last name Grace is the last name given to orphans in the temple.

However, to give him the name Arthur, that is too sensitive a last name.

but···.

“Arthur.”

As expected, I like Arthur.

“Of course you have to follow me.”

“···Yes. I think it’s a good name.”

That means that my wife’s last name should also be attributed to me.

“Edeline, you too.”

“······.”

Edeline was looking at me with a blank expression.

I don’t know what kind of face to make.

It was so sudden.

The child grows up receiving the love of both couples from the time it is in the mother’s womb, and it is lovely because it can give the child the expectation and love that has been raised for 10 months.

For me, there was no warm-up period for love like that.

A sudden situation is so different from my thoughts and expectations.

At the same time, it felt heavier than ever.

What is certain, though, is that I must take responsibility.

[···Go now. Stay right there.]

A voice as cool as the north wind rang in my ears.

······I’m really screwed.
