「A child is coming.」
「Oh, is that so? Congratulations. A man becoming pregnant is rare—unprecedented, in fact—but that doesn't mean it's impossible forever, does it? Congratulations on being the first man in the world to experience pregnancy.」
I offered my congratulations twice, yet my husband replied, 「No, that's not it.」
It was unusual to be summoned to his office, and there he was, my husband, leaning his elbows on the desk, hands clasped together in a tight, praying posture.
Cloud Fondis, the Duke. He is my legitimate husband. We are entering our third year of marriage, but we still have no children.
More precisely, we have not engaged in any activities to make a child.
My family, Melissa’s, is a Viscount house, which is clearly not a suitable match for a Duke's house, but due to various circumstances, connections, and reasons, I became his bride.
There was only one condition: that we would not conceive a child.
As for me, I didn't even have a desire for marriage, much less a child, so I figured a marriage of convenience that helped my poor family was fine, and I accepted the proposal.
In these three years, my husband has truly never laid a hand on me. Furthermore, we have completely separate bedrooms.
But our relationship as a couple isn't bad at all. He gives me an allowance, and I'm free to do anything I want.
My only job is to attend events like evening parties as his partner.
Honestly, I'm living the easiest, most wonderful life.
My husband is a truly capable Duke, so there is no need for me to gather information for him at the tea parties hosted by the Ladies’ Society.
For me, who celebrates social awkwardness, this marriage is exactly what I wished for.
For that reason, it’s no exaggeration to say that my husband’s office is the only room in this huge ducal mansion that I have never entered.
So, I was summoned to that office right after breakfast. What on earth is going on?
「I was planning to go on a praying mantis hunting expedition in the garden with Mira today, so please be brief and state your business in five seconds.」
When I said that, he replied with 「A child is coming,」 in two seconds. As expected of my excellent husband, he easily surpassed the condition I set.
...Wait, that's not the issue.
Since I was confused, I gave the response from the beginning, but he said I was wrong. What is wrong?
「I have no intention of becoming the first man in human history to be pregnant. Besides, it's impossible, as we haven't engaged in any activity to conceive a child.」
「Please don't make me imagine you getting pregnant, Your Grace. Who is the father? Is it your excellent right-hand man, Alas, the butler?」
「No, I just said I'm not pregnant, and even if I were, why would Alas be the one?」
「You two are very close.」
I said, glancing at Alas, the butler, who was standing at the edge of the room.
Black hair and blue eyes, the beautiful Alas is a handsome man who doesn't lose out even when standing next to my beautiful husband, who seems to concentrate all the world’s beauty in one person. By the way, Alas is only 15 years old. He just took over from his grandfather, the previous butler, last year.
Even at 15, he is frighteningly competent—a true genius. When I told him he was so talented it was scary, he said, 「Your Grace is so funny, it's scary.」 What is that supposed to mean?
Alas is now staring at me with a terrifying look, so I think I’ll look away. Is he really three years younger than me? He has so much presence that I mistake him for an older man.
Feeling a bit of a murderous intent, I twirled my golden hair around my finger, pretending not to notice.
But in front of me was my husband, who was wearing a very displeased expression, though without any murderous intent, so this time I directed my violet eyes to the ceiling.
「What are you looking at?」
「Eye exercises.」
I thought, Does it matter what I'm looking at? but when I turned my eyes to my husband, a childish expression, which was unexpected for a man who will turn 25 this year, was looking back at me.
My husband sometimes makes these young faces.
「What is it?」
「Nothing, I just thought you were cute.」
「Cu—... Enough. Let's get back to the main topic.」
I always tell him he should just honestly accept compliments, but my handsome husband blushed crimson again at my words today. Hmm, cute.
Our relationship as a couple is perfectly harmonious today as well.
But the moment things turn ominous is five seconds away.
