*********************************************
Roardnes blinked for a long time, unable to understand Adriene's words.
Then, startled like something had been set on fire, he grabbed her by both shoulders and pulled her away from him.
Confusion appeared between the "neat and gorgeous features" that Madame Leblère had quietly praised.
"...Father?"
His eyebrows twitched, troubled by a word that sounded so strange to him.
His red, rippling eyes peered intently at Adriene's face.
His thick, golden hair, which was so brilliant, rippled, and his face, which he had carefully taken care of his meals, was slightly fuller than when he had first regained his body.
His cheeks, which were full of vitality, were tinged with red.
Only his expression was different from usual.
His light green eyes, filled with laughter, rippled brightly, and his big eyes were slightly curved as he smiled at him.
Roardnes shook his head.
It felt like only the shell of his body remained, with all his thoughts stopped.
Adriene gently took his hand, which was still gripping her shoulders, and brought it to her stomach.
Roardnes flinched as soon as his hand touched her stomach.
He couldn't understand this situation at all.
"A baby is coming to us."
Roardnes stared blankly at Adriene's stomach as if he couldn't hear anything.
His large, slightly tanned hand twitched slightly under her hand.
"I'm going to be a mother, and you're going to be a father, Roan."
His trembling hand exerted no other force on her flat stomach except for the force guided by Adriene.
No, he couldn't.
His face, which had turned pale, began to turn red and purple.
He couldn't believe that something was inside her thin waist and flat stomach.
"It's been about two months. I think it happened right after we first entered the bridal chamber."
Adriene answered with a slightly flushed face, saying, "Huh? Huh?" But there was no answer from Roardnes.
"Roan?"
"I..."
"Aren't you happy?"
Roardnes just mouthed words for a long time, even after hearing Adriene's excited voice.
The man's eyes, which had buried deep inside him the fierce momentum with which he used to kiss as if he were going to eat her, flickered for a long time and then distorted. It was a dramatic change.
Adriene approached him a little more, reacting to the unusual reaction.
"...Roan?"
"Ha."
With a short sigh, Adriene was drawn into his arms.
Warm and gentle hands wrapped around her, as if holding a fragile glass doll.
"It's hard to express it with the word happy, it's just..."
I don't know what to say.
He murmured softly, pulling her closer.
Adriene quietly waited for Roardnes, who seemed to have forgotten how to think.
As she listened to his heart beating wildly while nestled in his warm embrace, she became calmer.
She felt strangely moved when she thought that the baby in her stomach was hearing his wildly beating heart.
Even if he didn't say it out loud, Adriene could understand his feelings better than anyone else.
The ecstasy and joy of the fruit of love.
A little fear of the unknown world of parenthood.
And a burning affection for the woman who carried his child and reverence for the one who carried life.
And besides, a sense of elation that was hard to describe, like setting off small fireworks in the dantian every second.
Because it would be similar to all the emotions she had experienced in the past few days.
Adriene patted Roardnes' back, who was tightly hugging her and trembling her arms.
The emotions expressed by his wide and huge back flowed directly to her.
"If it's a girl... what about Retina?"
"...What?"
"I mean the baby's name."
Roardnes froze again.
Adriene got out of Roardnes' arms and looked up at his face slyly.
Roardnes, whose eyes were bloodshot as if he was about to burst into tears, was clenching his teeth.
His face was suppressing the emotions that were boiling in his chest.
"I... I..."
He gasped for breath like a drowning man. The arms that hugged her tightened even more.
"You don't have to choose a name you don't want for me, just because..."
Roardnes finally seemed to come to his senses and replied in a muffled voice.
"Just knowing that you thought of that makes my heart full."
His trembling lips barely managed to spit out the words without stopping.
"If you name her, I think I would name her something like Roarien. I've thought about it before."
Adriene replied with a twitch of her nose.
Roardnes, whose head was already completely bleached white, finally remembered his own name-giving 'Cowan' and slightly wrinkled his neat brow and then released it.
Adriene gently lifted her heel and tapped her forehead against his.
"I guess I have to name the baby, don't I?"
At the end of her playful remark, a tear rolled down Roardnes's cheek, who had been clenching his teeth and holding back tears.
Roardnes only started to laugh after dropping that single tear on his cheek.
Adriene kissed the small dimple that formed on his firm cheek.
And she stroked Roardnes' cheek for a long time, who leaned towards her and pressed his forehead harder against hers.
The cheek, which had been damp and cold, melted warmly from her warmth.
His red eyes, which seemed to be looking at the weakest creature in the world, looked at the woman who was gently nestled in his arms again and again.
It was a silence as if only the two of them were left in the world. He didn't even know how time was passing.
The light in Roardnes' eyes was Adriene.
The light in Adriene's eyes was quietly watching Roardnes.
The light they had been searching for in each other's eyes was sparkling.
Below their foreheads pressed together, Roardnes' trembling lips finally moved busily.
A low voice, soaked and damp, flowed into Adriene's ears.
"I love you."
I love you.
I love you, Adriene. Damn it, I shouldn't have been going on a monster hunt instead of listening to Vincenzo's dying words...
Adriene replied to the belatedly regretful voice.
"The baby can hear you, Roan."
Roardnes' mouth closed without a word and then opened slowly. A senseless laugh continued to pour out from between his soft lips.
The two of them whispered for a long time, giggling as they named and canceled the baby's name.
Then, suddenly, tears began to fall, drop by drop, from Roardnes's eyes, and Adriene turned her head to hide her face, feeling like her own tears were about to burst out.
Tears on such a happy and overwhelming day were simply out of the question.
Roardnes hugged her tightly from behind.
And he carefully reached out his hand to her belly.
A large hand overlapped Adriene's hand, which was gently stroking her belly that hadn't even come out yet.
"Adriene."
"Yes."
Adriene buried herself deeper into his arms.
"...Did I say it?"
"What?"
"That you are my world."
Roardnes' trembling hand tightly grasped Adriene's back of her hand.
The hands that were rubbing their stomachs together were incredibly affectionate.
Adriene, who had finally shed a tear, smiled softly and replied.
"Yes, always."
It was a question and an answer filled with moisture.
Adriene slowly turned her head and looked up at Roardnes.
Her husband, who sparkled whether it was night or day, was looking only at her with red eyes as usual.
Roardnes' head slowly tilted towards her. When his proudly raised nose touched her nose, Adriene whispered.
"I love you, Roardnes."
At her confession of love, Roardnes smiled silently.
It was a smile where all the stars, suns, and all kinds of light would shatter, a smile that she loved so much.
Adriene was someone who treasured and hid her words of love and took them out one by one.
It was such a difficult word to hear from her that Roardnes was happy like a child receiving candy for the first time every time she uttered that one word.
With the look she loved so much, with the lips she loved so much.
"I love you more."
Roardnes sweetly bit Adriene's lips.
****
"You know, Adriene."
Soft breath scattered between their joined lips.
"When you say you love me, I still feel like I'm dreaming. And now I..."
Roardnes' breath, which suppressed the heat, brushed against my lips.
"I'm so happy I want to stop time. I wonder if I deserve to be this happy."
The words whispered softly filled my heart with spring sunshine in an instant.
"I would gladly die a thousand times for this happiness."
For a moment.
Just for a moment.
I remembered the past Roardnes who said it didn't matter if he wasn't happy as long as I stayed by his side without running away.
For no reason, my eyes welled up and my nose twitched.
"I'm happy because of you, Rien."
Since he was happy, I was even happier.
Expressing this feeling in words was as difficult as holding and spitting out a huge sun, so I opened and closed my lips several times.
Roardnes watched it silently and then overlapped his lips with mine.
The hot breath that stirred thickly blew away my useless worries.
I willingly turned around and clung to his neck.
And I greedily swallowed the immense love he was so eager to give me.
His warm lips heated my whole body, and the warmth that started from my lips rose to the top of my head.
My soul, which had gone on a long journey and returned, danced with joy.
Even though I was bearing the weight of his heavy body while being held tightly, I felt like I was flying through the sky.
"...If you're happy, I'm happy too."
Roardnes laughed softly at my sincerity, which I had barely managed to refine after suppressing my elation.
It was as if the warm sunlight was pouring only on us.
A breeze carrying the scent of early spring blew gently through the slightly open window, bidding farewell to the end of a long winter.
The warm scent of lavender, the fragrant scent of camellia flowers, and the sweet scent of cookies lingered in the air around us.
As my hair tickled my face, two smiles bloomed silently at the same time.
Our lips, which kept meeting, were warm, and the arms that embraced each other were hot.
We are definitely happy right now.
