Still, wanting to do something as a grandfather for Balter, Franz suddenly thought of the necklace.
“Infuse magic into it. You’ll hear Lea’s voice.”
“I can do that.”
As Balter naturally infused magic, both the duke and his three daughters couldn’t help but be astonished.
‘He has already opened his magic, hasn’t he?’
‘Using it is so natural…’
‘Indeed, he must be Lea Lexion’s son.’
Balter paid no attention to their evaluations. He simply listened attentively to the familiar and affectionate voice flowing through the magic.
“My son also seems to like Edit a lot. Ah, I should talk about my son first.”
Upon hearing his mother’s voice, a brief headache occurred. The mother’s voice, which was heard through the ears, vividly brought back the image of her lips moving as she cooled her forehead. The touch of her hand that used to stroke his head also faintly echoed in his memory.
“I personally named my son, ‘Balter Isack Lexion.’ Since I didn’t marry, I attached my surname, Lexion, as his father’s surname. I wanted to attach the father’s surname to the child, but I’m not sure if he will allow it.”
‘Balter Isack Lexion?’
Listening to his mother’s voice, wondering if there would be any mention of his father, Balter couldn’t help but pause at the part where his full name was mentioned. A slight smile crept up on the corners of his mouth.
“The proud eldest daughter of the Duke, Lea Lexion Ollim.”
Having heard up to the last sentence, Balter gently lowered the necklace he had been holding up to his face.
Franz, who had listened to Lea’s recorded voice with magic, could tell that Balter had heard all the way to the final farewell.
However, just as he was about to initiate a conversation with his grandson, Balter cheerfully said, “I’ll be going now.”
“What did you say?”
Not just words, Balter actually picked up the cloak that had been briefly taken off.
Now that he was imagining Balter sitting in the rightful heir position of the Lexion, Bain, who had just released Balter, couldn’t hide his confusion.
“If you’re tired, we’ll send someone as soon as the enrollment documents are ready.”
“Tired?”
Balter sneered at the bewildered Bain. There was already dissatisfaction and sharpness on his face, making Bain swallow his breath.
“I don’t remember ever allowing my name to be put on the duke’s register.”
Even his close aide, Cacius, couldn’t help but be amazed at the malicious tone. It was only natural for the Lexion family to be shaken.
Franz, without grasping the situation, asked, “Permission? What are you talking about, Balter?”
“Well, you can call me by my name, but isn’t this an unfair deal, Grandfather? For all this time, not knowing where the country was stuck, you even threatened my woman with magic.”
“…….,”
“Still, since our blood is mixed, will you become a member of the duke’s family? It sounds ridiculous.”
Even the three ladies couldn’t speak, but somehow, they couldn’t help but be convinced. It was because Lea occasionally displayed a stubborn and unyielding side, similar to her appearance.
‘Seeing him so assertive, he must be Lea unni’s son.’
‘Usually, men can’t even look their fathers in the eye.’
The more Balter spoke, the more evidence piled up that he was indeed Lea Lexion’s son.
“How about I propose some conditions for the deal, for now?”
Balter knew that Edit found Lexion repulsive. Although the suspicion of the Duke engaging in disciplinary measures akin to abuse seemed to be dismissed, the unfavorable first impression made Balter hesitant about raising the child as a member of the family.
‘So, if I don’t make it obvious that Edit has my child, I need to obtain everything I need while avoiding unnecessary exposure…’
Even though it might appear to others as a futile endeavor to take a longer route, for Balter, who couldn’t afford to leave any chance for Edit to depart, it was an important issue.
Already a woman who could live well on her own, he was finding it challenging to keep her by his side. Now, due to mere lineage, he couldn’t bear to see her become independent and raise the child alone.
Just as he was considering seriously racking his brain for a solution, an unexpected voice reached him from behind.
“Sorry for coming unannounced at this late hour, Your Grace.”
“……!”
“There are things I need to discuss. Issues I want to consult with you about.”
Standing there with a determined expression similar to his own, Edit spoke.
“I have a child. This person’s child.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
