[Kael?]
[Did you wake up? I tried to leave as quietly as possible.]
When Adeline stopped him with a sleepy face, Kael smiled at her.
He was sitting on the bed, putting on a shirt. His back was clearly revealed because of how thin it was. He didn't have the scar of the curse Adeline knew on his back.
Although he had scars of all sizes due to his prolonged stay on the battlefield, he didn't have that black, huge trace created by the curse of darkness.
It meant that in his first life, or before turning back time, there was no curse on him.
[I don't know why I'm so sleepy these days. It's hard to wake up every morning, and I doze off even during the day.]
[What about the doctor? Did you call Sir Ion?]
[I guess I'm just tired. It's not something to worry about.]
Kael's expression hardened at once, but Adeline laughed loudly and stroked his face.
[It may not be simply because you're tired. I'll tell Sir Ion, so make sure to meet him today.]
[I'm really fine. Don't worry. And today is a busy day, so even if I want to meet Sir Ion, I can't.]
[Ah, the tea party.]
[It's quite a big party today. I pray that you will come back safely from the battlefield.]
At her playful words, Kael leaned down and gave her a light peck. Happiness overflowed as the two exchanged tickling kisses under the morning sunlight pouring through the window.
Barely able to separate from each other, the two returned to their respective tasks. Adeline skillfully handled the ladies and led the tea party.
[The tea is really good, Your Grace.]
[Yes, that's true. Even if it's the same tea, the tea Your Grace gives us always has a better scent.]
[I'm glad to hear that. I also... Ugh!]
The moment she took a sip of her habitual black tea, Adeline covered her mouth and became nauseous. The scent of the tea suddenly felt sickening.
[Your Grace!]
[Oh my, Your Grace... Are you...]
The ladies looked at Adeline with surprise and anticipation about something.
Adeline, who didn't know the meaning of their looks at first, soon realized what they meant and stared at the women with a blank face.
[Congratulations, Your Grace. The cry of a baby will soon be heard in this castle.]
When she called Sir Ian after wrapping up the tea party in a hurry, the white-haired doctor smiled broadly and told her the good news.
[Don't tell His Grace yet. I want to tell him myself.]
[Absolutely. You should. He will be very happy.]
Adeline still felt slightly bewildered, but her expression showed more happiness than that.
'I can't believe... I was pregnant.'
The present time Adeline, who was looking at her lost memories, was also surprised.
It was unimaginable. She had a child with Kael. It felt like a faraway dream.
[Adeline. What about Sir Ian? What did he say? Is it serious? How could you be so sick that you suddenly feel so nauseous? And now? Are you feeling better?]
