It has been that way ever since.

Excited alone, sunk alone, serious alone, and even hyperventilated by himself.

‘no way…… . Did I get hit in the head earlier?’

Gradually, around the time he was worried about his mental state, fortunately, Tamon returned to his normal state.

“…Did I look a little crazy?”

“Yeah, a little.”

At Asha’s honest answer, Tamon wiped his forehead as if embarrassed and smiled.

There was already a nasty purple bruise on the red, swollen spot.

It looked very painful, but Tamon didn’t seem to mind, swiping his hair a few times, then sat down, hugging Asha’s stomach, who was sitting on the bed.

“It’s my first time doing something like this…. Oh, of course it must be your first time…”

He smiled absurdly and rested his cheek on Asha’s thigh.

Asha tried to calm Tamon by brushing his messy hair.

He was genuine, but he still looked a little crazy.

It was unfamiliar to Asha that he couldn’t hide his emotions so much, but she didn’t feel bad about it.

No, to be honest, his excitement was making her more excited.

Asha’s bewildered heart was filled with a tremor similar to that of Tamon.

Of course, she wasn’t that obvious on the outside, but it was deep enough inside her now, full of great waves.

“Hey.”

“Hm?”

“…I don’t know if this is appropriate now.”

“It’s fine. Say anything, Asha.”

Asha brushed Tammon’s gray hair, lowered her head, and came down to his ear.

“I’m glad.”

“…”

“…I’m glad, Tamon, that I have a baby inside me, and that that baby is yours and mine.”

As Asha’s whispering voice grew longer, Tamon’s eyes fluttered.

The world’s most beautiful red ruby ​​eyes were fixed on her.

Asha reached out her little hands and grabbed Tamon’s cheeks, staring at him.

And with a shy smile on her face, she once again strengthened her voice.

“I’m very happy, Tamon.”

Tamon’s forehead twisted in a mess.

However, his lips, which were slightly wide open and trembling, were showing a clear smile. He looked at Asha for a while, unable to say anything, then reached out and pulled her by the back of her neck. The two immediately got closer, and the two lips, which were shaking with excitement, gently overlapped.

Ha.

“…God damn it, Aranrosia.”

‘You will rule me forever. You overwhelm me and knock me down every time’. He grumbled in a wet voice, as if crying and laughing at the same time.

“I’m more than happy. When you say you’re happy, it takes my breath away.”

The two smiled together as they kissed each other.

***Asha decided to stay in Monstein for the time being after strong persuasion from Tamon, Anna, and Asrel.

Anna’s will was particularly strong, and she persuaded Asha that she would live with guilt for the rest of her life if Asha overworked herself.

After much deliberation, Asha decided to stop her journey for just one month.

It was an accidental and sudden decision, but Tamon’s unhesitating execution made her settlement a smooth one.

Fortunately, Asha’s condition improved a lot, whether it was because she stopped moving to rest, or whether it was with the help of a herbal tea prescribed by her doctor.

That didn’t mean Asha’s life had become easier.

“No… What is all this?’

Asha, waking up from her nap, raised her head and looked around her, bewildered.

All kinds of fairy tale books were piled up like a mountain, not to mention the flowers surrounding her bed.

When she turned her head, various fruits and desserts were on her round table, and on one side of the room, a large music box that Tamon had gotten a few days ago was playing music that was pleasant to hear.

Again. Another thing piled up.

Asha looked at the white mink blanket that brushed her toes as if she was tired.

“Ha….”

It was somehow hot.

It was obvious without knowing how something that was not there before she fell asleep came to be here.

The music box that was playing a sweet melody over there, while Asha was asleep, was set up.

To her surprise, Tamon said lightly as if nothing happened.

“It’s music for relaxation.”

Such a high-quality music box was something that could only be seen in the Imperial Palace.

It was amazing what kind of talent he used to get it in Monstein.

… . Seriously, Tamon was way too much of everything.

Asha shook her head and sat up from her seat.

She glanced at the delicacies on the table, hesitated and drank a glass of water. She was a little hungry because she hardly ate breakfast, but she didn’t want to eat anything at all.

The nausea went down a lot, but she still hasn’t been feeling well.

She barely had a glass of milk in the morning. Fearing that if she forced her to eat, she would vomit, so Tamon cut all the meat by hand, but couldn’t put it in Asha’s mouth.

At his worried gaze, Asha only smiled apologetically.

But when she thought of the baby, she had to force herself to eat it.

Asha reluctantly walked to the table.

There were all kinds of delicious food, but there was nothing she really wanted to eat.

There was only one dish she could think of at this time.

‘I want to eat a mashed banana…’

Mash it with cream, add a little bit of honey to it and freeze it a bit, and it would taste amazing.

Asha touched the fresh bananas on the table in dismay.

The bananas, which were so fresh and had a greenish color, were refreshing, but not so sweet and soft that it made her mouth tingle.

She thought it would taste better when it was a little more ripe, and she was just fiddling around with the bananas for a bit, then the door carefully opened and Tamon came in.

“You woke up.”

He looked at Asha standing in front of the table and walked over to her with a loving face.

Because of his long legs, he didn’t move a few times, but he was in front of her.

“Are you hungry? I brought you something to eat.”

As he said, there was a tray in Tamon’s hand.

Asha’s face lit up as she looked at the tray.

“That…….”

Fresh cream, golden honey, and a bright yellow banana with black spots on the tray.It was just what she was thinking. As Asha looked at him with a surprised face, Tamon smiled and sat her in her chair and whispered to her.

“Miss Rotrega told me. You ate this every time you were sick since you were little.”

‘Oh, Anna.’

A close friend who shared her childhood.

The warmth of the feathers of a young bird permeated her heart.

She looked at the ingredients on the tray with reminiscent eyes.

“It has been my favorite snack since I was little. Bananas were so precious that I couldn’t eat them often. As an excuse for being sick, I begged foolishly for a banana, and every time I did, my grandfather clicked his tongue. And the next day, he would get me bananas.”

Her mother crushed it with her own hands, mixed with cream, and put it into the mouth of the young Roselyn.

Cold mashed bananas were her family’s love and memories of her childhood.

Even if she was not hungry, she always missed the taste.

Tamon, who was looking at Asha’s face as she talked about her childhood, stroked her cheek with his fingertips.

“Looking at that face, I must have done the right thing, right?”

Tamon sat down and peeled the banana with his rough hands.

He put the banana into a round bowl, and casually mashed it by hand and poured the cream into it.

“I heard you like it slightly frozen, but I couldn’t freeze it because I brought it in a hurry.”

Asha quickly shook her head and looked at the mashed banana with cream and honey.

Tamon smiled softly at her rare desire-filled eyes, and scooped a spoon full of mashed bananas and put it in Asha’s mouth.

“How is it? Is it similar to the one you used to eat?”

A sweet scent filled her mouth. How sweet and soft it was, a smile came to her lips.

“It’s delicious.”

Tamon, who read that expression, continued to feed Asha the mashed banana with a face looking at the most adorable thing in the world.

How cute were her lips that open like a baby bird, Tamon, without realizing it, put his lips on Asha’s lips instead of a spoon and sucked it.

“Sweet. Too.”

Licking the banana on Asha’s lips, he smiled with a mysterious expression.

Asha glanced at him and laughed, then she grabbed the spoon and ate it from the bowl.

“I’ll have to keep looking for bananas.”

He never thought he would be this happy to see other people eat.

Tamon looked at Asha with a proud face, feeling fuller than he ate.

If he had known it was her favorite food, he would have brought it sooner.

He was disappointed in himself.

Asha, who had already emptied a bowl, got up from her seat with a face full of vitality.

“Why, where are you going?”

“Oh. I need to see Anna. Do you know where she is?”

Tamon, who nodded his head, extended his hand to Asha, who stood up.

Asha, who was looking at his outstretched hand, looked at him, expressing her displeasure.

“Again….?”

“Please.”

His eyes were sincere when he said please. After hesitating, Asha took hold of his hand.

Tamon hugged her and lifted her up.

“You know that? I haven’t been down to the first floor with my feet since we came into this mansion?”

“That’s a good thing. You always have to be careful with the stairs.”

“…This is overprotective, Tamon. You know that too, right?”

Tamon glanced down at Asha and smiled as he kissed her on the cheek.

He already knew enough, but had no intention of fixing it.
