Did I just hook up #### with my husband!?

A few hours earlier, after Aether and Xara went on a date, Delphine finally returned to the house after hours of continuous work.

However, she was not happy at all...

Not because of the work... maybe that too, but more importantly—

"I cannot believe Sister-in-law actually adopted Aether as her son," Delphine muttered under her breath, her teeth gritted in sheer disbelief.

She still couldn't wrap her head around it.

How could this have happened?

How could her sister-in-law make such a decision without even considering her feelings?

The moment she had heard the news, she wanted to rush back home as soon as possible, but her responsibilities had held her back.

The Empress had gone somewhere unknown, leaving the entire Empire in a fragile state. As one of the generals, Delphine had no choice but to stay behind, working tirelessly to maintain stability.

There had been no room for rest, no moment of respite.
