“I can’t forget that. Besides, I was born with that skill, just like our Crown Princess said.”
“Really? Mother said so?”
“Indeed. If Edit allows, I can prove it anytime. That I haven’t forgotten and that it’s natural talent.”
Valter added an explanation that might have been educational or not, but it seemed that he had successfully passed through the awkward question. It was time to head back to the library.
However, Adrian’s casually uttered words made him stop abruptly.
“Phew, I’m relieved that even Abamama remembers. She said you’ve forgotten everything.”
“Wait.”
Valter picked Adrian up again, who had been set down on the ground, and then questioned, pushing the scholars aside.
“Adrian, what did you just say?”
That Edit had forgotten how to make babies. What could that mean?
Adrian’s deep green eyes began to flicker with intensity, but the young boy still didn’t understand the reason.
“Abamama says she forgot how to make babies because it’s too boring and complicated.”
“That can’t be true.”
“Also, she said she forgot because it happened so long ago.”
“It wasn’t so long ago. It happened just a few days ago… Never mind.”
It didn’t seem appropriate to detain his son, who was about to go for a snack, and speak about his busy wife writing history.
“Anyway, it’s not that old. She’s been reviewing quite frequently, so she wouldn’t forget. I have confidence in my abilities. Watching Edit’s whole body covered in sweat during our passionate nights was proof.”
Although there was a firm belief that something had been misunderstood in the communication process, it seemed that writing in the mouth was the problem.
Perhaps Edit was subtly avoiding him for the past four days because she no longer found pleasure in it. No, that couldn’t be the case.
Of course, young Adrian had no consideration for Valter’s suddenly complicated feelings.
“Maybe it was so boring that she forgot. Abamama is smart, you know? If it was interesting and important, she would have remembered for sure.”
“…Let’s go eat snacks, little one.”
With a bright face, Valter gently put Adrian, who was mocking his abilities, down on the floor.
On the second floor of the Imperial Library, there was a meeting room accessible only to members of the imperial family, and Edit was busy perusing one of them, with its threshold worn from constant use.
Having gone through the allocated amount for today, she stretched and reminisced about the conversation with Adrian.
‘A second child.’
Since the first pregnancy was so tumultuous, Edit hadn’t thought about a second child.
Even after safely giving birth to Adrian, she had been busy applying what she learned at the academy as the Crown Princess.
However, once the scholars’ teachings were over, she would have ample time and leisure to add something new to her daily life.
Above all, last week Edit heard an important fact from Duke Lexion, who visited the palace with Theos.
“It’s the result of researching the Emperor’s and Crown Prince’s magic and the magic stones. Also, the process of using the magic stones to completely solve the Crown Prince’s unique magic surge issue is detailed in the paper authored by Theos.”
For the merit of complementing the weaknesses of the family, Lexion was officially appointed as the court magician and granted a large mansion due to his contributions and injuries.
In other words, it meant that now, even if a child with Lexion’s blood was born, there was no need to worry excessively about the child going astray.
Thinking about the time when she worried while infusing magic into the baby in her belly, it was a tremendous improvement.
Since Theos had resolved the most worrying part, would it be okay to create Adrian’s sibling?
‘I wonder what Valter would think.’
Trying to focus on her studies again, her thoughts kept drifting off course.
Edit put down her pen and stretched for a moment.
To ensure Adrian’s healthy birth, she had endured a lot, but Valter had truly risked his life for it.
Perhaps that’s why he had never casually mentioned the idea of having a second child.
‘He almost lost his memories by awakening the magic he shared with Adrian.’
If she casually brought up the topic of having a second child and saw Valter’s stiffened face, it would surely be unsettling.
‘I should think about it after taking the graduation exam. Adrian will take a while to write a long letter.’
Edit trusted Adrian’s writing skills, which were still at an adorable level.
Just as she was about to refocus, someone knocked on the door.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
