I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 239



239 – Side Story – The Beginning of a New Daily Life (1)

Today again, Loveheim Castle was busy from the morning.

As the head of the family, Ariel, sits down at her desk in her office her on time without any delay, the subordinates start their own work without even the slightest hint.

From noble mtl dot come

“Sister! Sonia, I came to visit!”

Of course, there are always exceptions.

Although not invited, the office had to temporarily delay the start of work due to the appearance of a guest who was always welcome.

Ariel glanced at her watch for a moment and realized that she still had about two hours to spare, so she got up straight away.

She then opened her arms and walked over to Sonia, embracing her warmly in her arms.

With a careful hand, as if handling a very precious glass work.

“It’s been a while, Sonia. “You haven’t seen those clothes?”

Sonia had been traveling with her parents for a week.

It’s not too far away, but to a city called Olores in the northern region, where it’s great to see beautifully blooming snowflakes.

As proof of this, there was a white flower in her hair

It was an ornament called a white flower, a famous specialty of Olores.

“I came because I wanted to show it to my sister! “Is it pretty?”

“Sonia is always pretty. Now, would you like to come here?”

“Yes!”

Sonia approached Ariel without delay and stuck out her face.

Ariel then bent down slightly and removed a small piece of dust from her hair.

Because Sonia had such an innocent personality, she often got caught in big or small dust whenever she forgot.

“Did you bring this from Olores too?”

“Lol…”

Sonia let out a shy laugh as if she were embarrassed and spun her body around in her place.

She wanted to clearly show off the new clothes she bought.

“Where did you buy it?”

“I bought it from the place her sister said. Actually, you have yours too?”

“Mine too?”

Ariel’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

Could it be that Sonia brought her a gift herself?

She looked at Sonia with expectant eyes, deciding that if what she said was true, she would give her at least a hundred kisses on the cheek.

“Yes, and it’s the same clothes as Sonia.”

“You mean it’s the same clothes you’re wearing now?”

“That’s right!”

Ariel smiled when told that she bought the same clothes in different sizes.

Although she was still young, Sonia had a unique eye for clothes. I would say she has an excellent sense of aesthetics.

Maybe that’s why the clothes she was wearing now looked pretty enough to Ariel’s eyes.

If we were to consider her tastes her her, it might have been a bit inferior, but that was next to nothing when it came to her cute little brother’s gift her her her.

“Then, shall we get dressed together later and go play with my brother?”

“Ugh… When?”

“When this child is born.”

Ariel said, pointing to her own bulging abdomen.

She was already in her full term and was just waiting for her birth date, so she couldn’t try on the gift Sonia brought her yet.

Instead, I thought that later, when this child was born and her range of actions she became more free, the three of us could go somewhere.

“Okay!”

“Then did you promise?”

“Yes, promise!”

The two people, who cutely made a promise with each other’s little fingers, burst out laughing without anyone knowing.

As soon as that happened, Edgar suddenly appeared beyond the still open office door.

“What are you two doing without me? “I feel left out.”

“What is he saying now. Since you weren’t playing with your younger brother, I was playing with you. Right? Sonia.”

“Hi, that’s right!”

As the two women got along and started to drive each other, an embarrassed smile appeared on Edgar’s lips.

However, he was not a great man who could be easily tolerated.

“Oh my, the two of you are doing very well together.”

“Foot, are you upset?”

“I am a child. Anyway, I went.”

Edgar also had to go to Hildeck for three days, so he came back after a long time and gave me a belated greeting.

Ariel, who was staring at him as if something was missing, slightly lifted her tiptoes in her seat.

Edgar, who realized what that meant, smiled and glanced at Sonia next to him.

“Is Sonia there too?”

“What do you think? Sonia won’t even care?”

“Well.”

Edgar agreed with her words and lightly kissed her lips.

Only then did Ariel smile brightly.

Sonia, who was watching this from her side, realized that it was not her turn to step forward and she took a quick step to the side of her.

It was a precocity that was not appropriate for his age

“How was work?”

“Is there anything that can be called work? “I just came back after being treated kindly.”

After the war with Albrich came to an end, Edgar became an honored guest of the imperial family, aside from his position as the second-in-command of the archduchy.

Therefore, there were times when he was called to the imperial palace in response to the call of Bartheus or Beatria, and each time, he returned with the utmost hospitality like this time.

Because Edgar was such an easy-going person, she was not comfortable with such treatment at first.

However, when I changed my position and thought about it, after realizing that they were trying to express their gratitude at least a little, I tended to accept the invitation without feeling too much pressure.

“Oppa, what’s the gift?”

Belatedly, clinging to Edgar’s leg like a cicada, Sonia found her own gift.

Because now I know that whenever he goes somewhere, he always takes gifts from her sister.

Normally, Edgar would have thought this was the right time and had Eline bring him a gift, but he didn’t do that today.

Instead, he crossed his arms and pretended to be upset, deliberately trying to annoy Sonia.

“What, Sonia was looking forward to her gift her more than her her brother her her her her her her her her her her? “This is disappointing.”

“Ugh, no! Sonia likes her brother her better her!”

This is what Sonia can say with confidence.

Even if she has a mountain of her favorite sweet chocolate cake, she can still choose Edgar.

However, despite her sister’s cute rant of her, Edgar’s antics did not stop her.

Rather, as if this was a catalyst, he would become a mean older brother who smiled even more playfully and asked Sonia in a coy tone.

“Okay? “Then there’s no need for a gift, right?”

“Huh!? Well, that…”

Foot.

When Sonia, embarrassed by her unexpected answer, fidgeted with her hands and became depressed, both of them burst into laughter at the same time.

It was truly a cuteness that could not be found anywhere else in the world.

How great it would be if their future baby was also this cute. So much so that I thought that way without even realizing it.

Of course, it would be unrealistic for two such cute creatures to exist.

It seemed like Sonia would burst into tears if he teased her any further, so Edgar decided to leave it at that.

Sonia raised her head, making a noise as she stroked her head with her rough hands from holding her sword.

As expected, her eyes suddenly became watery.

“I’m kidding, Sonia. “I’ll ask Eline to bring it to you later, so shall we look at it together?”

“… Hehe, yes!”

As Sonia smiled brightly again, wiping away the tears that were about to spill, it seemed as if flowers had bloomed in her room.

Edgar gently pinched his younger brother’s cheek and straightened his back.

*

In the end, the two were caught by Sonia for a day and had to be dragged around without being able to do their job.

Katria, who heard about this later, offered her apology, saying that she would be holding on to her tomorrow and that she would not be able to interfere with the work.

However, the two of them had fun together, and now that they had many trustworthy people under their command, they declined, saying that it was not a very difficult situation.

Of course, it is natural for the workload to increase somewhat tomorrow.

“Why are you looking at me so intently?”

While lying in bed next to each other after a day’s work, Ariel felt Edgar’s gaze at her and asked her question.

His eyes were focused on Ariel’s protruding belly.

Maybe it was because I knew there wasn’t much time left until the birth date, but I was a little more worried.

For the time being, I thought it would be better not to leave Hespania unless there were unavoidable circumstances.

“I’m still amazed. “My child is in this.”

“It’s our child? “If anyone saw me, they would think I gave birth alone.”

“Yes, my child.”

When Edgar realized that she had made a mistake, she quickly corrected herself and her cheeks puffed out a little.

At that moment, a small vibration was felt inside my stomach.

“Look, my child is protesting by kicking.”

“Dad did something I’m sorry about.” “You’re not going to apologize?”

“I will deliver it for you, so please deliver it here.”

When Ariel got her chance, she put out her lips and a smile formed on his lips.

She is a woman who cannot let her guard down at any time.

That’s why she’s attractive.

Side.

She pressed her lips together a little longer and deeper than before Sonia, and Ariel replied her head in satisfaction.

Since ancient times, during intimate moments between couples, affection should become more intense.

She had always been quick to notice her strange corners, but after she got married, she found her husband’s behavior to be even more adorable.

They say that some couples get bored quickly after getting married.

From that perspective, even though it hasn’t even been a year, I thought it wouldn’t be the case for them at least.

As this feeling grew bigger, it never seemed to get smaller.

“Right. Ed, I have good news. Should I tell you?”

“Oh, what is it?”

Edgar, who was gently stroking his wife’s stomach, expressed his joy at the unexpected good news.

If Ariel, not anyone else, said it was ‘good news,’ she was less likely to be excited.

“Actually, it’s the child in the womb. They say there is a high possibility that they are twins.”

Edgar’s eyes widened at the news that was bigger than what he could have guessed.

This is because it was contradictory to the story previously heard from Helen.

“Twins? Your mother’s family name is definitely…”

“Yes, my body could only give birth to one child at a time. The same goes for my mother.”

“But how?”

Of course I’m happy.

Edgar also wanted to have two children, whether they were brothers or sister-in-law, and see them grow up taking care of each other and sometimes bickering.

However, I was dumbfounded because the news was so unexpected.

Besides, I’m just curious as to how such a miracle happened.

There must be a good reason why the characteristics of a long-standing bloodline were cut off in one generation.

“Minette doesn’t know much about the principles either. What is most likely is that it is due to the influence of the magical power of domination mixed in the blood of the Robeheim family, and that my body changed as I reached a certain level?”

“That is really possible…”

It was truly unbelievable news.

However, since that is what Minette is saying, it can be said that the possibility is certain.

Because she, like Ariel, was famous for her personality of not being reckless.

“How is it? Are you happy?”

I’ve been itching all day long to tell you this heart-warming news I just heard this morning.

Ariel was curious about her husband’s reaction as she followed her, so she slowly turned her head to look at his expression of her.

“I’m so happy. Honestly, if it wasn’t at night, I might have screamed.”

“Really?”

“Of course I’m happy. To be honest, it makes me cry a little.”

This fact alone makes me happy.

However, the reason Edgar was moved apart from that was because he knew of Ariel’s hard work her.

Even when she was still an ordinary lover and even while preparing for her marriage, she would occasionally make self-deprecating remarks, recognizing that she could only bear one child.

Each time, Edgar instilled her confidence, saying that she could raise just one person with care, but she could not completely soothe Ariel’s regret of her.

How happy she must have been when she heard this news today.

When she pictured that scene in her head, she couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Even though she probably doesn’t have the ability to share her feelings just because she’s a married couple, it felt like the emotions Ariel felt at that moment were being conveyed right into her heart.

“Hehe, am I amazing?”

“That’s amazing, whose wife is this? “I’ve worked hard so far.”

Edgar gently stretched out one of her arms her and let her head her rest on his shoulder her her her.

I could feel her warmth coming through the thin fabric and her sweet scent.

From noble mtl dot come

“If I tell my parents tomorrow, they’ll be happy, right?”

“Your mother will be especially happy. “You might cry.”

“Hehe, that’s right. “Her mother cried more than me.”

Ariel’s voice as she said that gradually became watery, but Edgar did his best to ignore it.

She must have suffered more than anyone else, so I didn’t want to dare to speak as if I knew how she felt.

Talk. Talk.

However, she just lightly tapped her fingers around his shoulders and offered her comfort and encouragement without saying a word.

She said she had a hard time.

There’s still one more difficult step left, but I’m sure I can make it.

“Anyway, since they’re twins, wouldn’t they fight a lot?”

Ariel quickly wiped away her tears with the sleeve of her dress so that he could not see her, then leaned against her husband’s chest and poured out her concerns.

Since she was having two children without even expecting it, she became somewhat worried.

“You grow up while fighting. Just like you and me.”

“That too.”

To this, Edgar responded differently.

To begin with, when they were young, they were busy pointing and bickering at each other whenever they had the chance.

Nevertheless, in the end, if you stay close, the feelings you cherish for each other are bound to be conveyed.

Just as a man and a woman who seemed to be running parallel paths ended up holding hands in the end.
