The rumbling only lasted for less than two hours.
Very soon.
Ike saw a ship speeding toward them, its deck packed densely with treasure chests.
"Gurararara~~~"
As the ship drew near, Newgate laughed loudly. "Ike, I'm back!"
"I can see that." Ike waved his hand, examining everything beside his big brother.
Gold and silver treasures.
Supplies and resources.
Right!
Don't think pirates don't care about supplies—on the contrary, aside from treasure, supplies were exactly what pirates always looted.
After all, living at sea ant you had to spend money to buy things.
So why not just take them directly?
And finally—
Standing beside his big brother was a girl in a white dress. She had long golden hair, appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen, with snow-white skin, crimson lips, and a stunningly beautiful face, like a princess from a fairy tale.
Ike couldn't help but think to himself, "If nothing else, this must be the princess of the Korya Kingdom. Honestly… this is what a real three-dinsional beauty looks like. In a fictional world, you wouldn't expect soone this stunning."
This princess wasn't a known character from the original story—just soone who had never appeared before.
But—
She was truly beautiful.
In his previous life, she would've been a world-class celebrity, perhaps even beyond that.
"Ike!"
"Ike!"
Newgate said excitedly, "The princess of the Korya Kingdom—Selina! What do you think? If you're fine with it, she'll be your concubine. If not, I'll kill her and find you another one."
Hearing Newgate's words, Selina trembled in fear.
She was just a sheltered princess—she had never experienced anything like this.
Although—
On this sea, the identity of a princess was often used for political marriages, or as a bargaining chip when needed.
But she…
Had grown up pampered, never facing anything like this before.
"A concubine, huh…" Ike looked at her.
Selina slightly bowed and said softly, "Lord Ike, I will be obedient."
From the mont her father handed her over, she had already understood—
She had no room to resist.
Obedience was her only choice.
At the sa ti, she silently prayed for two things.
First—that the man she would marry was kind enough not to abuse her.
Second—that the Edward brothers would grow stronger and stronger in the future.
Because the stronger they beca, the higher her own position would rise.
"Ike!" Newgate patted his shoulder. "What do you think?"
"No problem." Ike nodded. "Let it be her."
"Gurararara~~~"
"Perfect!"
Newgate burst into hearty laughter.
Ike shook his head with a faint smile.
Honestly, he hadn't expected that the woman his brother casually brought back would be this beautiful.
Compared to the famous beauties of the original story, she might fall slightly short.
But no matter how you looked at it, she was still a top-tier beauty.
And truth be told—
Kings and nobles rarely had unattractive won.
After generations of refined bloodlines, most of them were naturally handso and beautiful.
What followed was simple.
Although she was only taken as a concubine—
As for a proper wife?
According to Newgate, a princess like her didn't qualify to be his younger brother's wife.
At most, she could be a concubine.
Still—
The wedding preparations were carried out properly.
Even if it wasn't grand, the necessary ceremony was there.
After that, the two entered the bridal chamber.
Ti passed.
During their normal voyage, one month later, Selina beca pregnant.
"Are you sure?" Ike looked at the newly recruited female ship doctor, his expression stunned, a hint of excitent rising within him.
After all, across two lifetis, this was his first ti becoming a father.
The feeling was completely different.
"Lord Ike!"
The female doctor said respectfully, "There's no mistake. Madam is definitely pregnant—and it has already been close to a month."
"Damn?!"
Ike couldn't help but curse.
So that night… was it a one-shot success?
Just as Ike was still processing that unbelievable fact—
The system, which had remained silent since its activation, finally reacted again.
[Detected that the host has obtained their first descendant. Beginner Gift Pack granted!]
[Beginner Gift Pack successfully issued!]
"Beginner Gift Pack?"
Ike waved the doctor away, settled Selina down to rest, and then went to the study to carefully check the reward.
[Open Beginner Gift Pack?]
"Open."
[Opening successful!]
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained: Descendant Random Template, Descendant Aptitude Enhancent Potion, Descendant Beginner Comprehensive Training Manual.]
Ike raised an eyebrow.
No wonder it was called the "Many Children, Many Blessings System."
Everything was for the descendants—nothing directly for him at all.
"Descendant Aptitude Enhancent Potion…"
"Descendant Beginner Comprehensive Training Manual…"
"Hmm…"
Rubbing his chin, Ike muttered, "These are easy to understand—one improves training, one enhances aptitude. But what's this Descendant Template?"
[Descendant Random Template: Can grant talents to descendants. So descendants are born with exceptional aptitude and natural talents, while others are diocre. The template allows diocre descendants to gain special talents. The random template provides three talent options to choose from.]
"I see." Ike nodded, understanding imdiately.
