Drake is meeting his "other woman' today. Elian forgives him and let go of his 'incident'but now he is once again glaring at him as if refreshing an old wound.

Drake grins. "Stop worrying." He said touching his face. "I will just negotiate about the living arrangement of the baby and not to take a woman."

Elian looks at Drake's eyes. Drake's priorities and his are different. Maybe it's because though he is originally from this world, he grows up on Earth and the difference in culture makes him unable to calm down while Drake just treat is as normal thing.

The good thing about this place. It doesn't recognized side wives. You can only marry one person and if you want to marry again, you have to divorce first. Drake sincerely told him that he would never cheat him. Such words give comfort to his heart.

"Im goin--"

Elian tiptoed kisses his lips making Drake smiles. Just a soft tender kiss from a worried bride-to-be. Drake blood boils as he grabs his hand and kiss it.

Elian sighs after Drake left. His knees gave in. Drake is too handsome. He blushes thinking about Drake's face.

***

Marian smiles as she saw the Duke. Though her stomach is not yet big, she manage to make the small bump noticable wearing a tight clothes. Her curved is beautiful and she looks lively.

General Gustavo salutes and kneel but his daughter just happily stares at Drake.

Drake frowns. But since she is pregnant, he let it go.

Drake sat on the chair before the general stood up. Marian was pleased that Drake didn't comment in her action. It means he is tolerant to her brassness.

Marian wants to greet the Duke first but his father pulls her clothes a bit. Making her swallow her greetings.

"Good morning, your excellency. Its our pleasure to be in your presence. Thank you for taking your time to chat." General said.

"Hm." Drake nods.

"Your excellency, you didn't bring a doctor with you?" Marian blushes. It was important to make Drake concern about their child early. Of course she makes sure that she is perfectly safe and the baby.

"Today is just need to talk. Later I will send my doctors to your house to check up on you and the baby. Let's order first." He said. They are in a high class restaurant. On the top floor. There are noiise barrier in every room making this a very safe place to talk about serious matters.

After ordering.

Marian elbowed her father.

"My daughter wants to get married. This is the only thing we want. She doesn't mind if you will stay a day or two in a week with the Fredrist house but you can't touch him. Just take care and be with the baby."

Drake paused from drinking wine. "I didn't even agree on marrying yet you already have my living schedule taken care of?" He smiles and continue drinking.

The General sighs. He too get a glass and drink. Marian rolls her eyes. Her father is so cowardly.

"It's not like that Your excellency,we are just being frank. I can accept you having a baby with someone else but I can't accept you having another person in your heart."

Drake raised a brow. It seems that 'having another person in your heart' is synonymous of having 'another child outside the marriage'. He nods. It seems Elian's worry is actually normal thing if you want your partner all to yourself.

He smiles.

Marian also smiles.

"I am marrying Elian Fredrist. I thought you already know?" He said as a matter factly tone.

General sighs. He knows this will be his stance. His daughter is the only one blind enough not to understand.

They already talk to the Duke 10 days ago about Marian's pregnancy but the Duke never release any information about it and also he remains in yhe Fredrist mansion. It only means his heart is not even shaken by his daughter's pregnancy. He planned to get the best resources for his daughter and grandson instead of insisting him to marry her. At least 10% of Duke's assets should be given to his daughter if she successfully given birth. They can take the baby and raise him too but the Duke should also promise to give the baby an i heritance equal of the legal children. That is not unreasonable demands and he is sure the Duke will be happy to give it if they arw not going to make trouble. In the very start, the thing about the Duke and his daughter is not a serious relationship.

Marian face was distorted.

"You only propose to him because he is pregnant right? I am pregnant too."

Drake tilts his head. He really has no reason to explain himself.

"Even if there's no Elian, I won't marry you. Come here. I will give the baby my mana." He said.

Marian frowns but soon she's face lit up and walks to the Duke.

General grabs her hand

"Dad?"

"Are you sure?" He asks her.

Marian pause then she nods. Her baby can only be high mana user. Though the Duke of Solice is not as prestigious as the Duke of Wrose. They are the same level. She nods.

The general sighs.

Drake smiles. 'Good.' He is also worried Marian will not allow him to do it. If she hesitates it means she is not confident the baby is his. Now that she is like this, he understand that it was actually his baby. He touches her stomach, he doesn't feel his mana imprint on the baby. Maybe it was because Marian is also a mana user unlike Elian so her mana is stronger and made the baby have both hiis and Marian's mana. Then he slowly gives mana to the baby.

"Ah!" Marian burst in pain.

Drake and the general both eyes widen.

"You...you attack my baby!" She trembles. She hysterically shouted. The baby was hurt inside and so the mother also feel it.

"......." Drake looks at the General.

The General immediately kneeled. "It was this general's fault!"

"What? Dad...He attacked me..He wanted to kill the baby!" Marian visciously glares at Drake. Even if she didn't get him, she can still gave birth to a high mana user son. If so, a lot of people will think highly of her and she can find other marriage! No need to hurt her belly and baby!

General Angrily glares at her. "Marian! How dare you lie! You stupid woman!"

Drake sighs. "Go to the hospital first. Save thr baby."

"Ah?" The general thanks Drake for his kindness and Marian was dragged away.

If this is from the past and there is no Elian, he would still accept the baby as his. And will do his best to save the baby. It doesn't matter if its blood related. As long as you are good and you treat the child as a real son, it's still possible to have feelings.

"Stupid."

Drake may not really notice if the baby is his or not since yhe baby's potential is really high. And there scarce of people who can impregnate high mana user like him so he won't think he was being deceived. It is unlikely for every baby to have imprint like Elian's baby afterall.

Baby are not adult mana user who can accept mana of whoever. Baby only accept their father's mana because it was a mana that he was more familiar with aside from the mother's mana. Though at times there are said that a relative can also give mana, it was not practiced because of the fear of hurting the baby if there's a resistance.

If he was rejected so badly that the baby feels like he is being attacked then it only means he was not recognized as the baby's father.

Loren called him at this moment

"Hahahahha. Someone tried to fool you?"

"You know so fast?" Drake sneers.

"She is stupid though. Does she forgot your mana is different in thickness because of your royal blood?"

"Maybe. She focus on the mana level so much. Give me all the list of level 7-8 mana users she meet during the 5 months."

"Oh? Are you mad?"

"Just want to know if someone is teaching Marian. If he wants to give me a son so badly, I wnat to thank this person, right?"

Loren sneers. "Okay. Ill tell Evangeline to give it to you. When are you bringing my sister-in-law to me the-----bastard." Loren sneers hearing a beeping tone.

Loren smirks. He should just meet this Elian. Drake is hiding Elian from him. As an older brother, Loren should welcome Elian to the family warmly!
