Only a few hours after I fell asleep, my eyes opened automatically as if I havean internal alarm clock. I did work at the port for a few months and it required to wake up before dawn so my biological clock is still a bit ssed up. It would take so ti for to adjust back to being a normal acade student that goes to morning classes at 8am.
Dimitri is still sound asleep since the sleeping spell I casted should be good for 8 hours. He should wake up in 2 hours but I would be long gone by then. I think we just need so space and ti to think what we expect out of this relationship. He clearly needs to think more than I do.
The divorce was just a threat to straighten up and re-arrange his thoughts. He's mine so I'll never let him go. He's going to be deified in less than a month. Even if he wanted to leave , I will make sure he's knocked up before the year ends. Hmpf! I really wanted to hit him in the head since I am still feeling annoyed.
I breathed deeply and gently left the bed. I tucked the guy under the blankets so he won't feel cold. I left a note on his bed side table and left the room to wake up Ioannis. It's the day were going back to Eieneos today.
I soundlessly walked a few steps from the bed then teleported to Ioannis' room. Once inside, I saw him already awake and dressed up. He doesn't have any luggage but I doubt that our shared storage space is not full of them again. He's staying there longer than our last stay so he should have packed a ton of stuff.
I couldn't help but be curious so I peeked into our shared storage space with my mana. I closed my eyes a bit and sure enough, he's almost filled up his part of the space. On my part, I only filled a third of it. This world is reverse in more ways than one, seeing that n loved shopping and hoarding in this world.
I hugged him from behind, making sure to caress his protruding belly. I whispered to him, "Good morning, husband. Good morning my beautiful children." Ioannis imdiately touched my hands and gave a kiss on the cheek. He replied, "Good morning, my beautiful wife and mother of my twins." I smiled sweetly at his response.
Once he's done filling up the storage, I placed a barrier around him to protect him and the babies from the sudden increase in mystique mana after teleportation. With a nod, I signaled Ioannis that I will start the teleportation. He held my hand tightly and nodded back at nervously.
Instead of just holding his hand, I hugged him tight, protecting the twins between us. I closed my eyes and teleported us straight to Eieneos. After a few seconds, I opened my eyes to a plaza surrounded by a colorful array of flowers, vastly different from the ti I visited several months ago.
I looked around and admired the changes. Samir did his job well as my gardener (Author: She's really treating him as a gardener (rofl).) I looked at Ioannis face and he was still tightly closing his eyes. I whispered in his ear, "We have arrived. You can open your eyes now."
His eyelashes fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes. I can see his surprise as he saw the beautiful flowers and slled the fresh scent in the air. He must have thought the sa as when I first saw everything. I asked him while smiling dotingly, "Would you like to walk to the palace, my dear consort? Or... Do you perhaps want to carry you there or perhaps a quick teleport?"
He looked at blankly for a few seconds then looked up as if contemplating carefully. He then responded, "Can we walk for a bit and then when I get tired, could you please carry the rest of the way? I want to enjoy the beautiful flowers." I smiled at him dotingly again and replied, "Sure. You know I'll agree with whichever option you choose. Since it would be quite so ti before we reach the palace, you should start thinking of nas you want for the twins while you're at it."
His head snapped at my direction, his face looking pale and surprised. It was obvious that he forgot about the nas. Well, he was mostly busy with keeping himself and the children healthy. His priority is to be able to carry them to term so I understand that thinking about the nas must have slipped from his mind.
I laughed at his surprised face and shook my head. He looked like he was about to cry as he saw my reaction. He then said, "I am so sorry. I- I forgot about that. I did think about listing so nas but I thought you would be the one deciding on those and I don't want to overstep your authority." What authority is this guy talking about? Is this a cultural thing in this world again? I know about the custody and all but this is new to , definitely not part of my classes or inherited mories.
I looked at him with furrowed brows and asked, "What do you an I have to decide the nas and I have the authority to do so? You do know they're OUR children and WE both have the authority to na them, right? Is this a law or sothing again?" He looked at and nodded. He then responded, "Won will always have the last say in everything. I can suggest and all but you will still be the one to pick the nas in the end and I am not allowed to complain."
I sighed and instructed, "Here's what we'll do. You make a list of nas that you want. I will also make a list on my end then we'll compare them afterwards. AGAIN, We will decide TOGETHER. Do you understand what I am saying?" He smiled at helplessly, obviously relieved and touched as he said, "Yes, wife. I will follow your instructions."
We started walking across the palace grounds and I can see the happiness in his eyes as we looked around the colorful flowers and lush greenery. We were walking quite slowly making sure he does not tire too quickly, trip or fall. The path was quite long so at about 2/3 of the way, he asked if I could carry him for the rest of the distance. I admire his will power as he was able to walk more than half the distance to the main palace with how heavy his belly looked.
It will only take a few minutes to walk the remaining distance with him in my arms but he looked like he was enjoying the special treatnt so I purposely walked slower than usual so he can enjoy the view more. We reached the main palace about 15 minutes after.

Dimitri's POV
When I opened my eyes, I was all alone on the bed. I turned a bit and laid on my back. I sighed and just stared at the ceiling for who knows how long.
I looked towards my right side and saw a note she left on the bedside table. It was very short but it shows how much I angered her. It simply said, "Let's talk when I'm back." I smiled as tears fell from my eyes. It was all my fault after all.
It was my insecurities and my negative thoughts eating up and I just had to insult her efforts to make feel that I was part of the family by saying it was just scraps. I really ssed up this ti. I have to straighten up or else she's definitely going to let go of .
I don't know if it was just a threat but my gut says that she's going to do it for real if our situation and my way of thinking does not change. I'd rather die than let that divorce happen. Even if I had to seduce her and get pregnant with her child just so that she won't divorce , I would do it. (A/N:Who would have thought that they have the sa idea to stop the divorce from happening?)

Aurum's POV
As I woke up, the house felt empty. I knocked on Ioannis' room but no one answered. Worrying about the very pregnant guy, I hurriedly opened the door only to find nobody inside. I knew they're going to leave but do they have to be so secretive about it and escape while the rest of the people in the house are still sleeping?
I could only sigh heavily as I rebered that Luna didn't give a clear answer if she would be able to co back on or before my birthday banquet. I think that I have to start thinking of a way to escape and delay my arranged marriage until she cos back from her hotown.
If she still doesn't accept by then, I will give up my royal title to escape the requirent of going through the arranged marriage and live sowhere far. As for these four minions, I will release them from being bound to so they can marry whoever they want.
I could only sigh at my thoughts about my backup plans. I am deluding myself again. I know that I am still hoping she'll take and those four in. Just a simple "Yes" from her will fix all of my problems.

As I pushed the main palace door, I was greeted by Lia and Aelorus excitedly running down the stairs. They imdiately took Ioannis from my arms and used magic to levitate him gently. They said that it would be best if he gets to our room quickly so he can rest. They seem to be in a hurry for so reason but before they could get him up the stairs, a person that I totally forgot about, appeared at the door.
