‘Frey and Daniel decided to sleep together?’

Damon and Arsene’s eyes shone brightly.

‘I didn’t know it, but sleeping together meant that they liked each other very much.’

Besides, if two people sleep together…

‘Teddy bear family storybook!’

The two remembered an illustration of a fairy tale in which a mother bear and a father bear sleep in the same bed.

It was specially made by Prause’s employees for the basic sex education of the youngsters.

‘Sir Luke said that if you do that, you will have a younger brother.’

Before Frey appeared in prause mansion, it was Damon and Arsene who always spent time relying only on each other.

He’d always hoped that Frey and Daniel would sleep together, holding hands, so he’d have a cute little brother to play with, and that wish might come true today.

“Shall we sleep now?”

“Hoamm… I feel sleepy.”

The two naturally climbed onto the bed. The bed smells even more of Daniel’s usual scent.

Arsene sneaked a peek using his powers.

Daniel, who was looking at Frey, who had just come out of the bath, was giving off a very deep pink air.

“Quickly, quickly!”

“….”

Daniel lay down, unable to resist Damon’s pounding on the bed.

The sudden appearance of children. It was a really unexpected variable.

I wanted to tickle the children’s chubby soles of feet for a long time, much to his disappointment.

“Okay, let’s just sleep for now, shall we?”

Frey also lay down on the bed, leaving the unknown mind behind.

Apparently, Damon and Arsene had gone somewhere, and she couldn’t send the tired children back to the Prause mansion.

[Pat Pat]

Frey covered the children with a blanket and gently patted them on the chest.

Arsene quietly felt the gentle touch and whispered softly.

“Lady Frey. If we do this, will I have a younger brother?”

“younger brother?”

Frey’s eyes widened.

Arsene waited for an answer with an innocent face, not even knowing what question he had asked.

“Well, Arsene. Younger brother…”

Daniel answered on behalf of her, as she rolled her eyes in confusion.

“Arsene. A brother can only make it when the two of us are alone. I can’t because you’re here now.”

“oh.”

“And we can’t make Younger brothers just because you want one like a toy.”

“Huh…”

“And I don’t want to forget how to make your younger brother, so I’ll practice whenever I can.”

Daniel spoke to the children in a worldly friendly voice. But he was staring at Frey.

“If Frey allows me.”

“…..”

Frey held his breath.

Hearing Daniel’s voice, pretending to be for the sake of the children, slyly tempting her, her face grew hot.

“Frey. Is it real?”

“Are you going to practice?”

Damon and Arsene asked with their eyes sparkling, so there was no way to escape.

“Yes. I will try not to avoid it next time.”

“Hehe.”

“You promised. Okay?”

The two children went to sleep with satisfied faces only after confirming Frey’s affirmation.

When Frey could barely make eye contact with him through her blushing face, Daniel said.

“Next time, I will really do it even if you are shy. What couples do.”

“If you say that, it sounds like you’re going to push me even if I don’t want to.”

Frey closed her eyes as if she was about to fall asleep.

“I don’t hate it.”

“….!”

“You can look into my future if you don’t believe me, Daniel.”

[gulp]

Daniel involuntarily swallowed.

In the glimpsed future, Frey was only trying to leave himself.

‘Has the future changed?’

Daniel waited until Frey fell asleep, then reached out and held her hair in his hand.

In an instant, the magic of the transcendent was manifested, and her future was drawn in his field of vision.

[“Fray, come here.”]

‘I knew it.’

It doesn’t look particularly hot, but his future self was still omitting the top.

[“Daniel…”]

Frey’s outfit was not too different from the one Emma had chosen for her on the first night of their honeymoon.

‘It seems that the future has changed.’

‘I almost stopped using this ability for a while because of pride.’

He peeked at his future lover with tight lips, trying not to show his delight.

however

[“Sorry. I don’t want anything to do with you, I’m just scared of the…rumors.”]

“…?”

He tried to hug her, but soon her expression distorted and he stepped away.

‘What kind of rumors?’

Judging by the circumstances, it seemed Frey hadn’t left him.

However, because of the unknown rumors, she frowned and rejected him.

I thought we’d gotten past the remarriage ending.’

No, he didn’t even know that the future of remarrying Vikram, which he had seen before, would happen after Frey rejected him.

With Prause’s ability, he couldn’t determine exactly when the future he had glimpsed would happen.

I can’t believe you’re going to reject me and then remarry that blue-haired wizard…’

Daniel’s expression hardened.

The future he’d just seen hadn’t happened yet, and it might not happen at all.

As a transcendent guardian of time, he knew better than anyone. 

But he had said he loved her.

[“Frey. Then let’s change our future.”]

That meant she was the only one who deserved Frey’s gaze, past, present, and future.

It was only right if the others didn’t have a chance.

‘Nobody but me, Frey.’

Daniel stroked Frey’s long hair, trying to keep himself awake by running the numbers.

* * *

“Oh my! Youngsters!”

Wiz, who had ridden in from the north at the crack of dawn, burst into the room, seeing Damon and Arsene.

“Ah, grandfather Wiz!”

“Even if you answer so cutely, my gray hair has already grown. If the spirit is 980 years old, it’s still a bright age…”

Wiz lamented and took the two children into her arms.

Frey smiled at Wiz.

“Thank you, Wiz. I’m begging you for the time being. I’ve persuaded the children well, so they won’t disappear twice.”

“I just hope so, master.”

Frey waved to the children who were disappearing beyond the magic circle.

‘I have work to do here.’

This morning.

This morning, she had a long talk with Daniel who seemed to have had trouble sleeping at all because he was thinking hard about something.

The conversation was mainly about how to deal with the undead monsters destroying the divine power barrier yesterday.

[“It was obviously Lydia who controlled the undead monsters. However, since there is no physical evidence, Gelon will not admit it.”]

There was no way to prove that Lydia intentionally broke the barrier by manipulating the undead monsters.

‘Because no one will believe it unless Lydia testifies herself.’

It is also impossible for the priest knight to analyze how the magic of Lydia, the transcendent, worked.

Gelon wouldn’t budge even if Daniel broke Lydia’s magic and claimed to have sensed who used it.

‘Because there is no objective evidence.’

Moreover, the fact that the emperor vomited blood was known to be due to a hidden ‘chronic illness’.

‘Even if my father died while trying to stop the monsters that suddenly attacked, Gelon would say it was an accident that happened because the timing wasn’t right.’

And he will quickly put Tahar on the throne.

But Frey was convinced that the crown prince and his knight were trying to use the monsters to make the emperor’s death look natural.

My mother was driven to her death using similar methods…’

Because of that, Frey could no longer avoid a fight with Tahar.

“Then I’ll be back, Daniel.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of what you asked me to do.”

Frey headed to the emperor’s bedroom.

When she arrived at the door, the empress’ maids, whom she didn’t want to see, were waiting.

“Lady Frey. Right now, Her Majesty the Empress is looking after Her Majesty’s health.”

“I will join. I also came to see Her Majesty the Empress.”

The empress’s maid was unable to respond to Frey, who smiled.

‘Until a few years ago, if I told her that the Empress was inside, she would have left on her own.’

It wasn’t just that Frey’s eyes and demeanor had changed.

“That lowly thing doesn’t even know what it’s talking about, how dare it challenge the imperial power!”]

The maids working in the Empress’s palace had seen the Empress shouting and throwing porcelain to break countless times.

‘What could be the reason?’

‘The Empress has decided that Lady Frey has become powerful enough to cause problems for the succession of Crown Prince Tahar.’

‘I’m sure Lady Frey realizes by now…… that she can bite us.’

Ceklik!

The maid, who already had a history of looking down on Frey, had no choice but to open the door for fear of repercussions.

“Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress, the mother of the Empire.”

“Hah…Frey?”

The Empress couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Frey walk through the door. Frey went straight to the bed where the Emperor was lying.

According to the doctor, the Emperor was supposed to be asleep all day today.

‘ They said that if he doesn’t sleep until the fatigue of the whole body is relieved by using drugs, the trouble will come soon…’

It means that the body, which had been using divine power too much, was slowly breaking down.

The Doctor who had been rushed from Prause had said the same thing.

“Your Majesty, I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m here, and I’m afraid that someone is going to try and take advantage of my beloved father by using the pretext of taking care of him as an excuse.”

A statement made clearly with oneself in mind. The corner of the empress’ eyes twisted slightly.

‘How dare you!’

‘I know how to scare you and make you run away just at the slightest provocation.’

The Empress calmly opened her mouth.

“Of course. After all, the Imperial Palace is a place where poisonings and assassinations happen all the time.”

Frey automatically thought of her mother. Her body stiffened, her heartbeat quickening with anger

The empress grinned.

“There may be those who are aiming for His Majesty, so the successor must prepare for the throne at any time.”

Frey clenched her fists.

‘You’ve been targeting him. You figured out that my father’s body was weak and sent Lydia to send undead monsters.’

‘I wanted to say that, but I endured it because I saw the Doctor in the room.’

Instead, she smiled the graceful smile she had practiced so many times.

“You are right, Her Majesty the Empress.”

“….?”

“So I’m going to stay in the capital for the time being, not on the Prause estate to learn politics.”
