Vol. 3 Chapter 11.4 - The little sunshine clears away dark cloud



“Are you really thinking of having six kids? It might be better for you to consider that.”

No matter how much Kloff thought about it, it would take 8 to 10 years for that long-term project to complete its final phase. Kloff tried to suggest making some adjustments considering his age and health, also Aeroc’s weight, but Aeroc drew a firm line, saying, “Six kids. No more compromises.”

Why was he so fixated on having six kids? He’d be likely to die giving birth to them all. Kloff wanted to argue, but in the brief moment that he left and came back with the duvet, he saw Aeroc, who was falling asleep, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Well, it’s not so bad if I can see such an adorable sight from you five more times.”

In that short time, Kloff gave a goodnight kiss on the unconscious Aeroc’s cheek, and he forgot about his premature worries.

As Aeroc’s belly became a little bigger, they could get away with hiding it under clothes, but after six months, it became hard to hide. They needed loose-fitting clothes. Still, the protruding belly couldn’t be hidden.

Although they reduced their public appearances, being too reclusive could also raise suspicions, so they ended up attending small gatherings with a select few. His face had become smoother and brighter, but due to the inexplicable fact that the originally slim Count now had a large belly, people began to worry about his health. Add to that the fact that he had recently been spotted being unusually affectionate with the financial manager who had been residing in the estate, rumors naturally spread in that direction.

“Could it be that the Count...?”

“No way. He’s definitely an alpha. I’ve known him since he was young.”

“Well, if that’s the case, maybe.......”

“It does seem likely, doesn’t it? They do seem to suit each other.”

Whenever such rumors reached him, Kloff firmly denied it and pushed the idea that Aeroc had abdominal obesity. Except for the likes of Marquis Wolflake, most people initially believed it. But as the pregnancy passed seven months, even that became a stretch. Still, Kloff’s attitude remained unwavering.

“...Do you really think people believe that?”

When the other accomplice in the scheme asked, Kloff flashed a determined look and replied.

“So what if they don’t believe us? It’s not like they’re going to cut open your belly to check.”

No one dared to challenge them under Kloff’s ferocity. Among the aristocrats, the talk eventually turned to, “Lord Teiwind has gained so much weight lately, hasn’t he?” Later, everyone casually commented, “It’s just plain old belly fat.” Aeroc, the butler, and Martha were absolutely amazed at the absurdity. Meanwhile, Kloff left behind a memorable quote.

“Ah.”

Unlike the omega who was grimacing in pain, the alpha smiled and gently caressed Aeroc’s swollen belly with his large hand. In the midst of his caresses, he felt a tiny kick in the center of his palm.

“Ouch.”

“Oh my. That must hurt?”

“No, it really hurts bad.”

Aeroc frowned and grumbled. Kloff chuckled, patting his belly and landing a kiss on Aeroc’s lips.

“The baby must really be an alpha.”

“The baby is an omega. An omega son.”

For some reason, as if he had received a divine revelation, Aeroc always said his baby would be an omega. Martha, who had experienced childbirth before, thought the baby would be an alpha from the shape of his belly, but Aeroc’s baseless belief didn’t change at all. Consequently, all the baby items were prepared to suit an omega, although Kloff secretly bought and stocked up alpha-related items.

“If the baby is an omega, that’s great too. Especially if he’s blond with sky-blue eyes, he would be adorable.”

In response to those words, Aeroc glanced at Kloff and then smiled thinly.

“Just as you wished, I hope the baby will be born with blond hair and sky-blue eyes, resembling your wife.”

Kloff laughed at Aeroc’s self-reference.

“Yes, a beautiful and lovely omega will be born, resembling my wife.”

Finishing his words, Kloff kissed his beloved wife.
