“Is it okay to start thinking about the baby’s name?” Edit cautiously brought up the topic, and Balter agreed. In the Agnas Empire, there was a superstition that if parents decided on the baby’s name too early, it would bring misfortune. While there was no solid evidence, parents with a child tended to be mindful of even small superstitions, so it was common for a baby’s name to be decided just days before entering the world.
Although Balter never mentioned it to Edit, he had secretly studied how others chose names for their babies for moments like this.
“…….”
However, theory was theory, and when it came to choosing a name for the little one between him and Edit, there were too many good candidates. Balter swept Edit’s hair with his hand, lost in thought for a moment.
Certainly, just until a while ago, it seemed impossible to narrow down the final ten candidates by the end of today. However, looking at her sparkling aquamarine eyes, a name suddenly came to his mind.
“If it’s a girl, Alisa. If it’s a boy, Adrian.”
“…….”
Upon hearing the first name that came out of his mouth, Edit couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Izak, Izak! Let’s decide on the names – Alisa for a girl, and Adrian for a boy. What do you think?”
“They say the names of the children should be decided a few days before they are born. Otherwise, our babies might get sick.”
The name that came out of his mouth was the name they had given to a child during their childhood, while they spent a long time wandering through the reed fields. Although it was just a playful naming for two youngsters who weren’t yet adults, due to his golden eyes that gently curved, she still remembered that moment until now.
‘Does Balter remember that event unconsciously in his memories?’
Not wanting to burden him by hastily trying to recover his memories, she didn’t ask, but the joy couldn’t be concealed. Edit responded with a smile.
“I like the name, Balter. Let’s go with that.”
With her immediate response, Balter’s eyes became slightly misty.
“Since you like the name I blurted out first, do you have some other thoughts? It’s a bit suspicious that you have different opinions.”
Under Balter’s subtle inquiry, Edit couldn’t help but tell the truth.
“We had a brief conversation like that when we were young. About baby names.”
Speaking it out loud might sound like she was fixated on all memories related to Izak, but Edit shrugged her shoulders lightly, trying to make it sound casual.
Balter, watching her reminisce with an indescribable expression, couldn’t say anything for a while. Each time he realized that she vividly retained the times that had disappeared from his memory, including the name, his heart thudded heavily.
With an expression that couldn’t be put into words, Edit said to Balter, who was looking at her with a gaze full of questions, “It’s okay if you don’t remember. We can slowly recall the time when Izak was there.”
“…….”
“Once the baby is born, there will be many things to do together, and we will create many new memories, right?”
“Yeah.”
Balter smiled, intertwining his fingers with Edit’s. He could feel her pulse in her firmly clasped hand, as if it would never come undone.
Leaning against his broad shoulders, Edit felt the warmth spreading from him and spoke, “When you first lost your memory, it couldn’t be helped. Now, even if there are issues related to magic, we can seek help from Lexion and resolve them.”
In Edit’s voice, there was an earnestness not to lose the time they spent together. Enchanted by her clear voice, Balter unconsciously made a promise.
“There won’t be such a thing happening again.”
Although he needed to undergo a thorough examination, he hadn’t excessively used magic beyond the warnings from the primary physician. The last letter from Teos contained hopeful words that somehow his altered magic could be fixed.
“Since I can recall every moment of when I was your first love, brace yourself for that moment.”
“Uh…”
Thinking about her bold actions in the past when she was determined to monopolize Izak, Edit coughed awkwardly.
Balter pulled the joined hands and planted a long kiss on the back of her hand.
“I’ll make sure to make you happy from now on. It feels like I was just trapped in the Marquisate, and now things have somewhat improved, right?”
“Becoming Lexion’s Vice Marquis is more than just an improvement in the situation.”
“Anyway, our Madam needs to believe in my outstanding abilities.”
His life had always been like this. Even when there were no clues, with the determination to resolve the situation, he endured, eventually steering the course in the desired direction.
So, this time would be fine too, Balter thought.
On the other hand, on the way to the capital, Gilbert was hearing unexpected complaints.
“Sorry, Gilbert. There’s something Lady Hwangbi ordered, and I couldn’t sleep through it. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I might not have time to spend with you.”
Gilbert, still doubting his ears, asked Elizabeth again.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
