Plagiarism - Chapter 32

・─ Leticia's POV

These days, I have been experiencing a strong desire for food and feeling restless. 

After completing all the necessary activities and work, my husband and I were preparing to sleep. 

"...Savio, I find it strange that I am hungry again so soon after eating earlier."

As he hugged me, I decided to share my thoughts with him in a candid manner.

Suddenly, he became alert and faced me with shock.

"Did you had experienced any bloating or stomach pain?" 

"I didn't feel anything." 

"I'm glad, it is actually a good thing and that you simply need to eat properly."

"Savio, this symptom is often associated with pregnancy, but thankfully, I did not feel any sickness or weakness." 

"I see. ...that's odd. I'm uncertainty and I apologized for not remembering if we had engaged in any intimate contact. Leticia, we already have three children and our age limit for having more has been reached, and the world productive love exists to only one and three." 

"I know that, bit this situation greatly bothers me." 

"Don't worry too much Leticia, I'm here and you're not alone. I promised to arrange for a check-up with a caretaker tomorrow, and about your activities. I will take care of all your work, you can trust me to handle everything."

"Thank you," I expressing my gratitude, with a sincere. 

He then proceeded to lovingly kiss me on the forehead. 

"...Savio, what if we had another child again?" In a contemplative tone, I posed the question. 

"I would consider myself the luckiest man in the world," He chuckled.

"You never changed, and I appreciate your consistent nature, acknowledging that I am fortunate to have you." 

"So I am, and what are you saying? I don't have the reason to change who I am, it would only cause me suffering."

"It's just. ...you never hurt me, or mistreated me, unlike some other husbands I have observed." 

"Because I do love you. ...About the others, the varied behaviors of someone can be complex and influenced by personal perspectives, like, I sees myself as a protector and advocate for women, emphasizing my adoration and commitment to never hurting them, but I firmly believes in the equality of everyone as the god created us."

"You're so serious, that's how I like about you." 

In a vulnerable moment, he was blushing and I find it endearing.

"I-I acknowledged the understanding of my emotions." He said, and lay down beside me, embracing me once more, " Dear, it is you, who sometimes playfully strike me though." He continue.

"Of course," I said, and we shared laughter together.

We talked for a while, we had a lighthearted conversation about our past, including how we first met and some memorable moments. 

Eventually, we decided to go to sleep. 

However, I couldn't help but recall something he mentioned before we knew each other well, regarding his previous lover whom he slept with. 

...I wonder why she left him? As he appears to be a good man. 

I also wonder about their child. 

"...Savio." 

"What is it?"

Despite my curiosity about that woman, I understand that it is not my place to pass judgment or draw conclusions hastily. 

"... Nothing, let's go to sleep."

Another day passes by.

To our joy, it turns out that I am pregnant, and we are overjoyed to learn that it's a baby girl. 

We can hardly believe our luck. 

Today, we are having lunch together.

"Mother."

"Yes, my daughter Asen?" I said with a smile on my face.

"Why is your stomach so big?"

Suddenly, my husband starts choking and coughing while eating.

..... ....

"...It's because of your father and me, expressing our love for each other and for all of you in a special way."

I cannot bring myself to disclose the t-truth about adult matters.

Asen: "I love you too, mother." 

Istera: "...Me too."

Fort: "My dearest mother, I reciprocate the love you have for me, and I assure you that I will fulfill my duty as a brother and shield you and our siblings from harm. I wonder what will my little sister inherit?"

My children are incredibly adorable and cheerful. 

As the Princess of the South Edge and their mother, it is evident that my children have inherited certain traits from me. 

However, my first son and younger daughter have only inherited one horn, while their father's gigantic bloodline remains concealed. 

On the other hand, my older daughter has inherited my bloodline completely, as she is able to transform into a dragon. I was truly astonished. 

"My son, do you not wish to conceal your horn like your siblings?"

"Yes, mother."

"I see, I will ensure that it is taken care of, if that is your decision." 

It is clear that he strongly resembles his father. 

The concealment of the bloodline ability is crucial, as everything is currently under control. 

It has been several months since giving birth today. 

"...Why didn't she cry like my children?"

While lying in bed, I was unable to hear my child crying, causing me to become confused and anxious. 

"... ...It can't be."

Thoughts of birth asphyxia and stillbirth started to occupy my mind. 

I am perplexed as I did not exhaust myself during labor, and my husband has been taking good care of me, so where is the mistake?

"...I see."

I have come to realize that it was considered taboo. 

The chances of successful births in the world are inevitable, as the productive birth exists to only one up to three.

I feel a sense of emptiness and despair, reluctantly accepting the situation. 

Eventually, I fell asleep.

.... .....

"Thank you, Leticia."

I woke up to the comforting presence of my husband holding my hand, expressing gratitude for giving birth, and I feel mad.

"Savio, why are you so happy? Could you please stop? ...It was considered taboo." 

"Dear, what are you talking about? The baby was breathing and moving slightly." 

"... .....What."

It surprising me with relief that she has a pulse. 

"...Thank goodness." 

It has been a few days, and I have been able to rest well. 

I visited my daughter, holding my baby in my arms, she is very quiet.

"..........."

Suddenly, I observed an anomaly on her forehead - two distinct, slender black horns. 

A surge of disbelief overwhelmed me. 

"Demon?!" 

"I had expected dragon horns to be situated on the head!"

"Ah!"

In my astonishment, I nearly released her from my grasp. 

"...I'm.... I'm sorry, my child, I didn't mean to, I was shocked," I said and hugged her.

Afterward, I proceeded to conceal her horns and divulged the situation to my spouse. 

The revelation elicited surprise from him, sparking a moment of mutual understanding as our eyes met. 

"A demon, you say?" He queried.

"Your ex-lover was a demon."

"...Y-You're right, and h-her appearance resembled my former lover who possessed demonic qualities.. ...why is this happening? ...N-No way. It's a f-forbidden..." 

He then experienced a sudden contemplation, which led me to embrace him tightly. 

It dawned on us, simultaneously, that we had both arrived at the same conclusion. 

The [Transfer] is on a list from forbidden magic. 

The process of transference, a forbidden and immensely powerful magic, could only be wielded by individuals of great aura flows.

"...I would accept the child, as I am also the mother." 

"Leticia, I apologize for burdening you. Please do not harbor any resentment towards me... and do not abandon me," My husband vowed to stand by me. 

"I won't."

Despite my ruthlessness, malice, and modesty. 

...You have embraced my flaws and chosen to unite with me in marriage.

"Savio, It was evident that the child should remain under your care, as you, being the father, comprehended the situation entirely."

...That woman, the feat that she achieved is truly remarkable, causing it to set a new record.

...I wonder how did she do it? The child managed to survive, which is a relief considering that it possesses our three bloodlines, a result of the utilization of the Forbidden Magic.

Good thing the child didn't die, and I'm so angry.

...... ...

My intention is to promptly proceed to Lucifer Empire to locate her.

However, she proves to be elusive, as her brother, the reigning King, we were informed that she serves as a Founder within Apex Association, and conceals her whereabouts.

The organization operated from an undisclosed location.

The organization was monstrous, merciless and ruthless.

...Just you wait and see.

The consequences of our encounter would have been severe had we crossed paths! 

I would not hesitate to engage in physical altercation with you, as you are merely the mother of the child I adore.
