Reincarnated as son of powerful duchess

Seraphie is sick

The first light of dawn peeked through the heavy curtains of Ethan's chambers, casting a soft golden light across the room. It was filled by the quiet chirping of birds outside. Ethan slowly opened his eyes feeling the warmth of Kimora's presence beside him.

 He found it pleasing to have a beautiful woman beside his bed. Her head rested gently on his chest, her breathing even and calm.

Carefully, so as not to wake her, Ethan began to slide out of bed. But just as he moved, Kimora's arms tightened around him, and she mumbled something in her sleep.

"Not so fast, husband," she whispered groggily, her eyes still closed but a mischievous grin tugging at her lips. "You can't escape that easily."

Ethan chuckled softly, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "You always know how to keep me occupied, don't you?"

Kimora slowly opened one eye, giving him a mock stern look. "It's my job. Someone has to make Dear husband doesn't go running off into danger without thinking."

He smiled warmly, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "I promise I won't. Not without you by my side ok."

Satisfied, Kimora finally let him go, her expression softening as she stretched and sat up. "Good. Now go on, I'll join you for breakfast after I freshen up."

"Wait" Kimora stopped him and went in front of him and raised both of her legs to his height and smacking her lips to him "*chuuu*" She took a taste of lips.

"What was that for " Ethan asked surprised by the sudden affection.

"A good luck charm for Dear husband " She replied while leaving the room with a delightful expression.

Ethan dressed and left the room, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. Despite the challenges ahead, the love and support of those around him gave him strength.

The dining hall was already filled with activity when Ethan arrived. Seraphina sat at the long table, she was usually calm but there was a faint blush on her cheeks. Chloe was there as well, but she was busy with discussing the day's training with one of the knights. It was typical of her.

But it was Marina who caught Ethan's attention first. The young girl was seated beside Seraphina, her small hands cradling a glass of apple juice. When she saw Ethan enter, her face lit up, and she quickly hopped off her chair, running over to him.

"Big brother!" she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Ethan knelt down to hug her back, feeling the weight of her small body against him. "Good morning, Marina. Did you sleep well?"

She nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Yes! And I had a dream where we defeated the scary lady together!"

Ethan smiled, ruffling her hair. "That's a good dream. Maybe one day it will come true."

"Oh! I want to know this scary lady " Kimora asked Marina.

Kimora is sitting in the dinning table with a tray filled with butterflies and other food suitable for her.

Ethan said sweatdropping. "You should try human food once in a while. Maybe you will find it tasty."

"I will eat maybe....Only if you feed me Dear husband " Kimora whispered in a sweet tune

"Grrr! " Marina growled in a cute at being ignored.

As they made their way to the table, Seraphina looked up from her book, her lavender eyes meeting Ethan's. There was a flicker of something in her gaze—curiosity mixed with a hint of knowing.
