Rebirth Of The Duke's Daughter

Volume 4: Chapter 174

"A few matters?! What did you do this time!?" ZH was a bit upset that Mila would do something risky again, forgetting the fact that he was still there while she was pondering her thoughts about something. "When will you stop taking such risks? Every single time, I feel like you are not being truthful and that you do not trust me at all. Am I that unreliable?" ZH had a pained expression, making Mila feel terrible for not relying on him anymore when they were now officially a couple.

"I'm sorry, but I needed to handle this matter since the woman that I was trying to help had just passed away not too long ago." Mila hugged ZH, nuzzling into his chest, feeling better after hugging him. "It's not that I can't rely on you. I just don't want to get you harmed in it. After all, I can't let our children be left alone. They still need their father." Mila smiled, closing her eyes, and wanted to call Kate out. "Kate."

ZH could not even say anything back since she went to Kate's attention. 'Silly, they need a mother just as much as a father.'

[Mama!!!!! Papa!!!] Kate appeared happily, wagging her tails behind her and looking at Mila and ZH, who were loving one another. [I finally get to see you both!!!] Kate said, nuzzling them both as they all smiled.

"Hey, how would you feel if we had another little one, but they are not blood-related to any of us?" Mila asked, hoping that ZH would understand what she meant.

"You mean almost like adopting another child?" ZH questioned while petting Kate on the head.

"Well, the woman that I had to help. She was pregnant with a child, and I am currently caring for them." Mila was hoping that he did not ask too much about the details.

"Well... how does that exactly work? How are you carrying her child right now?" ZH looked up and down to Mila, seeing that there was no difference in her figure.

"Dummy!" Mila smacked him lightly on the head, seeing how he would actually look at her from head to toe. "They are currently in my... I suppose the unconscious mind is with my beasts, who are giving them mana as a replacement for any other functions that would replace a woman's way of raising a child." Mila had to explain in some sort of way for ZH to know.

"Is that so?" ZH understood it to some extent, remembering that it was still unknown overall to what a healer and doctor would say. "I won't ask much about it, but would I be able to know the mother of the child?" ZH wanted to know at least that much about the child's mother.

"The..." Mila hoped that ZH would not think she was trying to return to the Crown Prince of Mireraweth kingdom since the woman was Prince Leroy's, Princess Consort. "Do you know Prince Leroy's princess consort?"

"You better not be joking with me." ZH immediately came in, questioning Mila for more answers now that she mentioned Prince Leroy's first wife. He knew that the news of Lady Lana's death would not spread so soon, but Mila already gave it away.

"Would I joke about such matters when it involves a child?" Mila looked at him, hoping that he was not trying to start another misunderstanding between them.

"S-She wanted your help?" ZH looked to Mila, who nodded, knowing it was hard to believe. "Well... I guess, like I said... I can't really ask too much now that I said that. How will you have this child then?" ZH was quite curious about how the child would be born if they were not going to show Mila's physical form?"

"I honestly do not know, but I will have to ask Blizzard if he knows about how the entire thing works." Mila needed to see if Blizzard knew what the entire birth or labor would be like.

"It seems as though we will be increasing our little family very soon," ZH said, making Mila glance at him to see how he was getting at something. "We need to work a little harder after our third one is born," ZH said, making Mila see that he was, after all, like a wolf hiding under a sheep's skin. "I can see that you are thinking of me again."
