Valter slid his hand under Edit’s knees. As she was pulled toward him without resistance, her long blonde hair, which had been scattered carelessly, spread out like a fan.
Among the ordered items, she thought there would be a playful moment to figure out which one suited her best, but her head throbbed due to her accelerated heartbeat.

He bowed deeply, his muscular upper body bending forward. He approached her sweet-scented skin slowly.

Grabbing her arm and intertwining their fingers, he revealed the long eyelashes she had been trying to hide and her flushed face.

With the remaining free hand, Valter playfully took off her shoes, saying, “Besides, it seems you’d prefer me clumsily riding a horse now more than back then.”

Valter whispered in a low voice while tightly holding their entwined hands. Yes, now she likes it. After all, she knows, right? Like being trapped alone in a narrow, dark cave, his voice and presence were all that she could feel.

Today, Adrian’s schedule was to spend time at Lexion Mansion, receiving love from his grandfather and great-grandparents.

Seated on Franz’s dignified lap, Adrian, who was eating a cookie, suddenly grinned.

“I wish I had a little sister.”

“A little sister?”

“Yes. I’d like a younger sister.”

Franz, who was brushing off cookie crumbs from Adrian’s mouth, chuckled. Adrian, who poured out his concerns in his new pronunciation, looked extremely adorable.

It was a few months before the Academy graduation party. Teos, one of Adrian’s most cherished horses, had a conversation over tea.

“I mentioned that I could completely resolve Lexion’s mana explosion issue, and both Prince Adrian and Princess Adrianne were very pleased.”

Teos, still young, was happy that his research had helped the two of them.

However, Franz realized something during that part of the conversation.

‘Maybe the desire for a child isn’t just Adrian’s.’

Since the birth of Edith and Adrian, who brought life back to Lexion, which had become increasingly dark after Leah left the world, the mansion had once again gained vitality.

If Edith, who cherished the necklace, gave birth to a daughter resembling her, could there be anything more joyful?

‘If there are two children, we might need a new vacation island suitable for them.’

Even though she had already acquired a mansion with a library near the capital as a birthday present for Edith this year, she was considering adding a vacation island.

Since walking to the island wasn’t possible, it might be a good idea to look into a large yacht that moves majestically.

Franz hadn’t liked the idea of Lexion providing such a grand gift lately.

Adrian, still weak with numbers, puffed up his cheeks, not knowing how much money Franz was silently considering.
“If Abamama forgot the way to make a baby and lied that she remembered, what should we do? Can’t it be done with the Duke’s magic?”

“There’s no way that… well.”

Franz distinctly remembered that Valter never left Edith’s side for a moment.

However, he couldn’t give a difficult answer to the child, so he responded vaguely.

“If you play at Lexion Mansion until late, maybe a bird will bring it to you. It’s important to dream well and sleep deeply.”

“…?”

Adrian couldn’t understand why a bird would suddenly appear, but he nodded for now.

“Then, can I eat dinner and go?”

“Of course. Oh, by the way, I read somewhere that a sibling is born faster to a child who eats well without picking out carrots.”

“Really?”

Franz chuckled and patted Adrian’s head, burning with enthusiasm.

Watching their employer, who even fabricated stories to remedy picky eating habits, the Duke’s employees couldn’t help but suppress their smiles.

And some time later, as Adrian’s carrot aversion gradually improved.

“Adrian Lexion Agnas.”

When Valter received news from the doctors who were overseeing Edith’s checkup, he immediately called for his son.

Then, he shared the news that the child had been longing to hear.

“Do you still want a sibling?”

“…!”

Adrian, with large sparkling pupils, ran towards Edith.

As Valter approached with a smile and Adrian, the moment Edith, who had been sitting in a chair with one hand on her belly, saw them, her lips softened.

A few days later, the Prince and Princess Agnas became the protagonists of the most memorable post-graduation party stories in history, creating a buzz in the newspapers.
