Cang's smooth reincarnation seems to have set everything on track.
Before long, List also returned to his position as a guard.
Only now, he has become more silent than before.
Chloe and Stuart are practicing day and night.
Of course.
Inevitably, it involves the act of making babies.
Stuart seems to have no objections to the matter of making babies.
On the contrary, Chloe seems to be preoccupied.
It's not that she's upset, it's just...
"Stuart, why are you so calm about having children?"
Stuart paused for a moment and said:
"What kind of reaction do you expect from me?"
Chloe was taken aback.
Exactly.
What does she hope Stuart feels about their future children?
When she thinks about it carefully, she doesn't seem to have a clear idea.
So she could only say:
"Just...have a little more anticipation for the birth of children."
Stuart blinked and said:
"Why do you think I hold no anticipation for the children?"
She began counting on her fingers:
"First, I've psychologically prepared myself for the birth of children, which is why I came together with you."
"Second, we've prepared everything necessary for the children, including selecting trustworthy guardians who can accompany them in our absence."
"Third, as for education issues, we don't have to worry too much. The royal family is not lacking excellent teachers."
"Fourth, regarding the most crucial psychological building, I've prepared to accompany the children as much as possible until they reach adulthood."
"I've done everything that's needed, is there anything I've overlooked?"
Chloe fell silent.
Indeed, upon reflection.
But why does she feel something is off?
The next moment, Stuart's elegant and fair foot rested on his thigh.
The queen smiled gently and said:
"You're feeling bewildered because between us, our relationship feels more like friends than lovers."
Chloe pondered for a moment, then nodded and said "Yes."
He is someone who bravely faces his inner self.
Previously, whether in simulations or echoes of history, he was accustomed to a sweet and syrupy life.
But now their life is indeed very regular, and very respectful.
It feels like they married just for the sake of marriage, the taste is odd.
Stuart moved forward, grabbed his collar, pulling Chloe's face to hers.
Her bright-eyed gaze looked at him and said:
"There's no need to feel strange, because there's always been a carriage behind us, rushing forward as if prepared to go down with us.
We can't slow down, whether for Rephya or for the world.
So sometimes it feels a bit mechanical, which is normal, for that, I must apologize to you."
Chloe shook his head and said:
"There's nothing to apologize for, didn't we come together for a shared goal?"
"But, Chloe, although you share the same goal with me, the core driving us forward is different."
Stuart gently embraced him, showing a gentle expression on her face:
"You chose to stand here, driven primarily by emotion, by the determination to protect those you cherish.
While I choose salvation time and again, primarily for the responsibility as the Elf Queen.
We have both the ability and determination to make the world better.
But this determination should be borne by us."
The queen gently held Chloe's head, remaining silent for a long time.
Until Chloe grittingly said, "Are you trying to suffocate me, murder your husband?" only then did Stuart let go.
Chloe said:
"There's no such thing as responsibility or not, the goal is unified, just working together is enough.
To be honest, the problem lies with me, maybe I should work harder, like making someone a bit shyer during the act of marriage."
In this way, it adds a bit of fun between the couple.
Stuart coughed and said:
"If you, you go too far, I'll bring out Nini."
"No worries, Nini doesn't dislike such things, we've even agreed to try after leaving."
Stuart's expression stiffened briefly, angrily saying:
"Don't casually ruin my reincarnated form; she's only as big as your two palms, if you want to kill, just say so."
Chloe was wide-eyed, completely astonished that Stuart would think that way about him:
"Can't I seek inheritance to make her grow larger? What's your thought process? Nini's body size is so small!"
Someone immediately counterattacked.
You've been reading too many Beastman and Little Elf fan fictions, haven't you?
How could you come up with such an idea?
Chloe's gaze brought Stuart to silence.
She earnestly reflected on why her mindset deviated.
It wasn't like her before.
After all, she had no experience in such matters.
How did she suddenly think in that direction?
Thinking it over repeatedly, she reached a conclusion.
[All sins come from Chloe.]
Even though initially she went along just to fulfill a dream of the late Queen Angelina.
But even if initially it was just friendship, over time, it gradually changed.
After all…
She didn't dislike Chloe.
Only that previously, she never imagined in that direction.
Now there's a chance, and accidentally, she steps onto the path of adulthood.
To say she has no other thoughts, and is still only seeing them as friends, is a joke.
And then...
[Our child]
Thinking of this, she becomes a bit dazed.
When talking about children before, it felt very empty to her.
Like a concept that wasn't clear at all.
But as time went on, other thoughts began to grow.
It seemed like she started to look forward to it a little.
Becoming... curious about what it would be like to be a mother.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
But soon.
The situation changed.
One night, amidst a passionate moment, Stuart suddenly gripped Chloe's clothes tightly.
Chloe was slightly stunned.
Thinking that she had accidentally hurt Stuart.
But when she looked down, she found Stuart in an unusual state.
The eyes that usually sparkled with wisdom started to cloud, the once elegant queen, for some reason, had become a bit more...
Uh.
Seductive?
It was as if something inside her body had awakened.
"Don't, don't stop."
"What's wrong with you..."
"Just keep going."
...
After a bout, Chloe finally understood the situation from Stuart.
The way the Elf Race propagates is vastly different from other races.
One could even say that the Elf Race is somewhat asexual.
The future generations of the Elf Race, who inherited characteristics from the elves, are also affected by this trait.
But the intelligent races of this world grow and prosper because they have their own set of natural laws.
The characteristic of the elves is that emotions accumulate over time, and at a high peak, they enter a fervent mode.
Stuart hadn't specifically understood this.
After all, the clan wouldn't show her how to become fervent.
She had only heard that after entering a period of passionate love, the emotions of elves become more fervent than at any other time.
And...
During this period, the success rate of conception rises sharply.
Stuart thought that since she reincarnated as a human, she wouldn't possess the traits of the elves.
But perhaps because the information constituting her current body wasn't much different from before.
Thus... she could clearly feel that something in her was changing.
In the past, the reserved Stuart would be courteous and respectful.
But today, unexpectedly, she didn't want to do that.
"I like it..."
She gently pecked Chloe's lips, only separating after saliva slid down their mouths, saying:
"I'm starting to like this."
She felt her heartbeat begin to race.
In a daze, she seemed to understand why her clansmen said that when you enter a 'fervent' state, you naturally understand.
Chloe couldn't quite understand.
After all, the physiological structure of elves is different from humans.
Just the wings and the Elf Corridor made a world of difference.
But...
There was one point that couldn't lie.
From that day on, he once again felt like he was married.
A month passed just like that.
After an unspecified number of times of marital union, he suddenly felt Stuart's skin become burning hot.
A moment later, she raised her watery eyes and said:
"The elders said that during the fervent process, you can clearly feel the birth of new life. I used to find it hard to imagine what that felt like, but now, I can imagine it."
Chloe paused for a moment, then said with subtle amazement and joy:
"You mean..."
"Yes." Stuart smiled slightly and said, "Chloe, you're going to be a father."
Chloe felt his breath catch a little.
The next moment, he picked Stuart up and spun her around, saying:
"Well, I'll need to work even harder. By the way, is there anything you want to eat today? I'll have the kitchen make special arrangements."
They usually didn't have dietary restrictions, but the situation was different now.
Because their little family was about to welcome a new member.
Another month passed.
Soon, the news that the queen was pregnant spread.
The ministers had long expected this.
Because those knowing the royal family's situation knew that after the queen married the prince, their relationship was seamless.
So having offspring was only natural.
Count Carlos, swearing eternal loyalty to the royal family, came to pay respects with his wife and son.
Chloe and Stuart, after discussing, decided to meet their companion who had become a junior.
Of course.
Synchronization of the information takes time.
During this process, aside from brief moments of clarity, Cang would mostly just be a little smarter than an ordinary child.
The story of Count Carlos' family having a one-month-old prodigy who could speak quickly spread.
Even Count Carlos didn't expect that the first words his gifted son would say upon meeting the queen and prince were:
"Your lives have already entered a countdown."
