First. Ask about foods that were easy to eat during morning sickness.

Second. Get beaten until Emilia’s anger is appeased.

Third. After getting thoroughly beaten, get advice from Lilliana on the current situation where he’s getting kicked daily.

‘Andrea’s birthday is this weekend.’

Getting scolded was scheduled to repeat on the weekend too.

“Uncle Edgar is busy dating youngest aunt. He absolutely won’t play with me.”

“I told you not to bother uncle.”

“Dad. Whose side are you on right now?”

“Edgar. Uncle came all the way to Trobancha risking his life because he likes youngest aunt. So you should cheer him on.”

When Edgar looked back as if asking ‘really?’, Edith nodded.

“Hmm. Uncle. I see you in a new light. You do have good taste?”

Is that something a 12-year-old should be saying?

“You seem to be becoming more and more like Marius.”

“Haha. Whose son am I?”

Come to think of it, who would Lilliana and his child resemble?

Edgar was practically Marius’s clone, Filippo had sister-in-law’s looks with the personalities of sister-in-law and Lilliana, and Yosiyas was the spitting image of Leopold.

‘I want to meet them soon.’

Whether the child had blonde or black hair, as long as it was a child born by Lilliana, it would be so lovable that it wouldn’t hurt even if put in his eyes.

Edgar was determined to do his best so the child wouldn’t feel the loneliness he had experienced in his childhood.

“Sister-in-law. Before going to Andrea’s birthday party, there’s something I want to tell you separately. Oh, brother should listen carefully too.”

“What is it?”

“Well…”

The moment Edgar was about to confess.

“Big auntieee-!”

Yosiyas’s voice rang out loudly from outside the gate.

If it were Filippo it would be one thing, but Yosiyas usually had a gentle personality, so this was the first time he had suddenly shouted like this.

“Yosiyas. What’s wrong!”

Startled, Edith drew her sword and stood guard.

Yosiyas was sniffling after having knocked down the knights guarding the manor.

The knights had stopped Yosiyas from entering freely, saying it was his aunt’s house.

“Big aunt. Something terrible happened. Brother collapsed with a severe fever.”

“What?”

“He was fine this morning? But suddenly he said his whole body was shivering, so when we checked his temperature earlier, it was 39 degrees! I was so shocked I left him at the hospital and came here. They said a guardian is needed, so please come with me!”

“Where are mom and dad?”

“They’re at little aunt’s house.”

Emilia’s house was quite far from Regina’s.

Marius, now serious, finished preparing to leave in an instant.

“It wouldn’t be a fever cold… Could he have been bitten by the wrong mosquito?”

“It’s not a mosquito. Marius. You stay here with Edgar.”

“I should go too. I’m Filippo’s godfather. Moreover, Leopold and Regina aren’t there either.”

“He’s not sick, it’s just awakening fever.”

“A-awakening fever?”

“Brother has awakening fever? I’m fine though?”

“Your mother was the same. She suddenly got a fever and suffered terribly.”

He should have learned about awakening fever at school.

At Edith’s muttering, Yosiyas couldn’t help but blush.

“We’re half Imperial, so I didn’t think we’d get awakening fever.”

“You’re half Trobancha too.”

“Brother will be okay, right?”

“He’ll be fine after suffering for a few days.”

“That’s a relief. But what kind of ability will brother get?”

“I wonder. I’m curious too. Sometimes they get the same powers as their parents, but there are many exceptions.”

“Sister-in-law, you stay here. I’ll go check.”

“No. I’ll go, so Edgar, you contact the kids’ parents.”

When he went directly to Emilia’s house to deliver the news, Leopold showed an unexpected reaction.

Regina nodded as if it were natural, saying he was that age, but Leopold was startled and immediately ran to the hospital.

Since Lilliana had suffered awakening fever while staying in Trobancha, he had no opportunity to encounter awakening fever.

After the Regina couple left for the hospital, Edgar was served simple tea by Emilia.

“He’s already old enough to get awakening fever.”

“Elisa will be like that too in the blink of an eye. Emilia. Will our daughter also get abilities?”

“She’s more likely to become a mage than get abilities. But Edgar, are you okay? I heard you’re worrying about proposing, you seem to have a lot on your mind. Your face looks complicated in many ways.”

“Hmm…”

Since the situation was like this, he should just confess everything to Emilia and find out various information.

“Actually, the thing is―”

“Hey. Francois. Are you inside?”

It was Marius’s voice. Why did someone who should be at sister-in-law’s house suddenly come here?

Having already missed the chance to confess twice, Edgar felt frustrated.

“Big brother-in-law?”

“Little sister-in-law! I heard you had a baby. I should have contacted you first, but I was too curious about our niece to hold back.”

“Little aunt. Hello! Hello to uncle-in-law too!”

“Wasn’t the scheduled arrival the day after tomorrow?”

“I left two days early. This is a gift for my niece.”

Whether Francois welcomed him or not, Marius held out the gift he had prepared for Elisa.

“Oh my. The face of the successful Marquis has become half of what it was. Are you happy after abandoning Imperial citizenship and going to Trobancha?”

“Are you still sulking about that issue? There are many talented people in the Magic Tower besides me.”

“Right. There are many talented people. Especially our Chris Ruman is important talent who will lead the next generation of magic. But because of Lazarus, I’ve suffered every kind of hardship too, you know? Going off to Trobancha alone to find love, how could I not be heated up?”

“Aha. So you’re saying you’re ultimately jealous of me.”

“I can’t be jealous of our Edgar.”

Sigh. Edgar quietly let out a sigh.

What good was being an Emperor who commanded the Empire? Inside, he was just this childishly petty brother.

Fortunately, Edgar was too absorbed in looking at his cousin sister to hear the nonsense.

“You know what. Andrea really likes Edgar.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“Aren’t you hurt? I’m the most neglected one in the family.”

“Sorry, but I’m not even part of that family yet.”

“Ah…”

Francois, who let out a sound that could be either sympathy or lament, nodded saying he understood.

“I hope Edgar becomes an adult soon. Then I can abdicate. Of course, he has to want it, but since he’s similar to me in childhood, I believe he’ll covet the throne.”

“You’re going to abdicate?”

“Since Edith has no intention of retiring, I have to come down from the throne and stick close to her. Being a long-distance couple is already pitiful enough, I can’t live in my old age constantly fretting from missing her like now.”

“I never thought the day would come when I’d pity you.”

“Right. I never thought the day would come when I’d envy you either.”

“…What on earth are you two talking about.”

Edgar listened to their conversation and trudged out of Emilia’s house.

He had come out reducing time to be next to Lilliana, but far from confessing about the pregnancy, he couldn’t even find out about foods good to eat during morning sickness.

‘I’m very sorry to Andrea, but there’s bound to be some commotion on his birthday.’

By the way, had Lilliana eaten anything?

Worried, he had given Antonio a hint to check on her, but his mind wasn’t at ease.

Edgar’s steps quickened as much as his desire to see his girlfriend.

* * *

It seems like empathy is the most effective way to win someone’s heart.

“I see. You must have been troubled because of us.”

“Edgar seems to think I was deeply hurt by your problems. I was just a bit confused for a moment.”

Antonio, who had been visiting less frequently these past few days, returned to his usual self and chatted as he normally would.

When he first came to the protagonist’s home, his expression was a bit off, but after I responded to his stories, his face brightened again.

“More importantly, Edgar is planning a new proposal for you. It seems like he wants to propose while giving you a diary he’s been writing every day since reuniting with you.”

“Really?”

“Will you accept it? Since this is a cultural difference between you two, I hope you both come to a good agreement. Edgar has been incredibly worried because your morning sickness is so severe. It’s a bit pitiful to watch from the side.”

“You’re right. I feel sorry that I haven’t been considerate of that—”

Just as I was about to finish my sentence, an ominous voice came from the entryway.

“Morning sickness…?”

Creak.

And through the open door appeared the protagonist’s older brother Andrea with a darkened face and Edgar who had turned pale.
