Chapter 637 – Roman Reading a Book
Three months.
It was a small thing that Theodore, who came to Roman, returned after being defeated more than five times.
A matter of great importance to Roman was related to his wives, and a noticeable change occurred in them over a period of three months.
Even though three months have passed in the Empire’s time, isn’t the pregnancy period longer than that?
Niv and Lynn, who started late with Roman, didn’t notice it that much, but the women who had previously had a close relationship had their bellies so swollen that anyone could tell they were pregnant.
“Oppa! See you later!”
“Brother. Thank you for bringing me here today too!”
“Give me a kiss and leave!”
At the main gate of the academy, Roman and the trio share a light kiss.
It doesn’t matter if there are many eyes watching. In particular, Ricke kisses me deeply, as if asking me to see him.
Rumors have already spread among the Empire’s higher-ups, so it’s not a problem even if it’s between cadets and instructors.
Even if there is a problem in the first place, you should say that there is no problem, and if someone tries to raise an objection, you should not raise it. Because that is the current position of the imperial family towards Roman.
And one of the things Lee Cho-ah was surprised to hear is that common sense is different from Korea.
Lofty Academy, the highest educational institution in the empire, does not regard it as a defect or problem even if a cadet takes time off or drops out due to pregnancy.
Another name for Lofty Academy is a social gathering place for nobles.
As if to live up to its name, the reality is that there are quite a few cadets who suddenly get married based on family wishes or connections made at the academy.
Even so.
It was unusual for a trio to freely come to class while married and pregnant.
Most female cadets drop out of the academy immediately after marriage, not voluntarily.
“Everyone enjoys the class comfortably. You know if something happens, right?”
“””Yes!”””
Rike, Chloe, and Seria had been advised by Academy Dean Doran Escaro to wear comfortable clothes.
Unlike other cadets who wore uniforms, the trio often wore comfortable clothes.
There is a large-sized Academy uniform in the mansion, but the three’s outfits are different every day.
And as you can see the schedule.
Roman is always with you on the way to the academy in the morning.
Currently, I am walking around lightly, but when my stomach swells further, I plan to take a break from the academy until I give birth.
‘Good. There is no problem with the academy.’
After Roman reaffirmed his senses that they were spread out like a spider web throughout the capital.
After confirming that the trio entered the academy, they walked back to her mansion.
Crackling─!
A mansion arrived at in one step with understated painting.
As I quietly enter the yard, I see Alice.
─ Hiss! Whoosh!
It looks like it’s outside because of the terro rolling around and playing in the flower bed.
The outfit is a one-piece dress I bought in Korea.
The choker Roman bought for me is always hanging around my neck.
“Alice.”
“Ah, Roman! Thank you for your hard work!”
The corners of the mouth turned up and the smile of the eyes curved was so beautiful.
Roman sat behind Alice and hugged her lightly.
“Hehe… It’s warm.”
Alice is refraining from wearing clothes that reveal her abdomen out of fear that her unborn child might be cold.
The first thing my parents at Edelman told me when they heard I was pregnant was to wear clothes that didn’t reveal my stomach.
“Roman~”
“What’s wrong?”
“I received a letter earlier, and they said that Mom and Dad were coming to the capital again on business. If Roman-nim allows, they will show their faces for a little while…”
“I am welcome.”
In reality, it is unlikely that Alice’s parents, Jane and Dorian, have business in the capital. Roman and Alice know that very well.
But there is no reason to stop it. Because there is no one who feels uncomfortable.
Since her parents want to see their daughter Alice, the only thing her son-in-law can do is prepare lodgings for Dorian and Jane to stay comfortably.
“Roman… I love you.”
“I love you too.”
He patted Alice, who was cutely embracing him, and headed into her mansion together.
“I’m here.”
As I enter the living room, I see three people sitting on the sofa.
Atra, Neve, and Lily are always mistaken as sisters when they go out.
“Honey!”
“You’re here.”
“Mr. Roman. You’ve had a hard time since morning.”
These three have recently been working hard on knitting, saying they will try knitting dolls or socks for their children.
Although Roman could make something in an instant using his creative ability, the fact that he would take the time to make it with sincerity already gave off a strong maternal love and made Roman happy.
“Oh? The shape has already appeared?”
“Hehe, aren’t these socks cute?”
“I heard that this yarn is good for baby’s skin. So, I guess we should make hats and gloves too.”
Roman also wants to sit down and lend a helping hand, but destructive dexterity can cause anger while trying to help, so he is in the position of massaging his shoulders or easing his neck.
“Eclair and Lynn…”
Roman touched her senses and consciousness at the same time to find the two who were not visible in the mansion.
After capturing the two in a different location, he uttered his voice.
“You’re in paradise?”
“They said they had something to talk about the sword.”
“Again?”
It’s not surprising. Doggolin and eclair went well together.
Unlike Roman, who just followed his intuition and learned how to wield a sword, these two are swordsmen who are also well-versed in theory.
There were many cases where we could melt for hours as we continued to think about the sword.
On the day that Lin taught Eclair her Jungwon-style non-sword technique, she stayed up all night using it.
‘Both of them have no awareness that they are pregnant…’
The good news is that they don’t take out real swords and clash with each other.
After confirming once again that Lynn and Eclair were calm in paradise, Roman sat down on a chair in the living room and grabbed a book.
“Honey. Would you like some coffee?”
Roman, who smiled at Atra that it was okay, patted Alice, who was lying on her thighs as a pillow, and fell into a book.
‘Have I read half of it now?’
The book I’m reading now is a bestseller I bought in Korea called [Encyclopedia of Parenting].
The book I finished reading just before was a medical book about pregnant women.
What I felt fortunate after reading all of it was that Roman’s wives did not experience any of the negative aspects of the various symptoms that follow pregnancy.
Roman thought he was benefiting greatly from the World Tree tea leaves, but Neve had a different opinion.
In the opinion of Neve, the creator, the tea leaves certainly have a positive effect, but the bigger reason is that Roman’s energy itself is special.
One way or another, it was all good as long as her wives were healthy.
The sound of women chatting while knitting.
The sound of Alice breathing in a light sleep.
Roman realized that this was the best environment for reading books and piled up unfamiliar knowledge in his head.
How many times did I flip through the book like that?
“Huh?”
The voice Roman uttered unconsciously while flipping through a book.
The eyes of the women in the mansion flocked.
“Mr. Roman?”
“Why are you doing that?”
Roman smiled brightly and closed the book. Now that you have the contents in your head, it is time to put this book in your study.
“It’s no big deal. It’s already the last chapter.”
“Hehe, looking at your concentration while reading a book, I wonder if you would still have talent even if you took the magic path.”
“Roman is a wizard… I think he’ll be really cool.”
Alice wakes up and mutters, rubbing her face against her thigh.
“I should go to the bookstore and come back. I also need to charge the battery.”
“Are you going to Korea?”
“I think I’ll come back for a bit. I need to recharge soon.”
Since the wives are using their cell phones as cameras, I don’t know how many auxiliary batteries there are in the mansion.
I heard that it is slowly running out, so it’s time to take it with you and recharge.
“I guess Choa is in Korea right now too?”
“Ah, I think I heard.”
She heard that Lin had moved in with Choa not long ago.
‘I’ll contact you when I get over it.’
She doesn’t know what she’s doing, but if she happens to come over, Rin doesn’t have to move, she just comes with her.
“I’m only planning to visit the bookstore, but do you need anything?”
In response to Roman’s question, everyone gently touches the baby’s growing belly.
After finishing her thoughts, a charming gaze fell on Roman.
“Honey! I’m strawberry.”
“I’m the same as Atra.”
“They say they want to eat anything sweet here.”
Neve raises the corner of her mouth and shows a sly attitude that she wants to eat her child, not herself.
That attitude was also part of the positive changes that occurred over time.
Meanwhile, Roman was touching Alice’s cheek as she fell asleep again.
Then she yawns naturally and opens her eyes.
“What about Alice?”
“Haaam…! I’m a peanut…”
“Something that tastes like coffee?”
“Yes… Ugh…”
I guess I liked the coffee peanuts sold at convenience stores so much that I remembered them in my sleep.
“Then I guess I’ll have to stop by the academy and paradise and then move on.”
Roman had already planned to buy the trio, eclairs, and even what Lynn wanted while stopping by in Korea.
It doesn’t matter that the bookstore, which was the main purpose, is pushed back.
“Hmm.”
Roman put a cushion under Alice’s still sleepy head, got up from her seat, and put her batteries into her inventory.
I took her cell phone that was stuck in her corner and put on her boots.
“Please be careful.”
“If you don’t have something, there’s no need to go out of your way to look for it, so come back comfortably.”
“Roman~ Kiss~”
After kissing his wives, Roman opened the door to see them off.
After saying hello to Tero, who was still playing with the dirt in the flower bed, I would come back.
Finish preparation by tapping the floor with your boot.
The women were watching him go from the front door, waving their hands gently.
Seeing things like that makes Roman want to go too. Because going alone isn’t fun.
Nevertheless, I endure it now.
I thought about taking everyone with me, but since I was heading to a crowded place, I was hesitant to bring all the pregnant women with me.
I was grateful that everyone understood and waited for that part.
“I’ll be back.”
Roman smiled and walked toward his academy.
