“I… I guess I’m sleepy. This is a dream. It must be a dream.”

“Fortunately, she was the only one who had twins… the two of us were separated because we had children. So we… we took care of the children and I casted a spell. The magic was supposed to protect the children for a long time, but she always wanted to go back to the children…”

But as if she couldn’t hear me, she kept talking. She also beckoned to the child who came in with me.

“Rather than talking… it would be right to bring back your memories. Yes, it might be better to see for yourself, Ellinson’s children.”

My mother, who grabbed my hand at the same time as the child who came to me, smiled and closed her eyes quietly. And for a moment, her eyes turned dark.

“E-Ellinson! That’s…That’s the name of my wife but she has already passed away…”

I heard the Grand Duke’s voice, but my body was already droopy before I could open my eyes.

It was as comfortable and warm as my mom’s tummy. There was also someone else who held my hand.

Even if I didn’t say anything, I could feel my hand being held tightly. I also didn’t want to let go of the hand, so I held it tightly.

“Well done, Ellinson.”

But the warmth suddenly broke. The warm air surrounding us disappeared in an instant. Instead, a cold and damp feeling wrapped my whole body.

Tears welled up naturally.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

“The child must have woken up.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

I wasn’t a baby, but my voice went out like a baby. Maybe I felt it, but someone held me in their arms. I couldn’t see the person in front of me well, but it was not difficult to see that they had brilliant blond hair.

“Don’t cry, baby. Don’t cry.”

I quickly realized that the person’s voice was my mom, who raised me and loved me all this time.

“What?”

Mom? But all I could do was babble like a baby.

What was going on here? Was she really showing me something?

When those thoughts occurred to me, my eyes naturally turned to the surroundings. It wasn’t the room I was in, nor was it the room where I was imprisoned in the Imperial Palace.

This was my first time seeing it. It was cold enough to be a prison.

“It’s interesting. Beatrice gets really quiet when she’s in Adele’s arms.”

“Yeah, maybe… maybe it’s because I smell like you.”

“Adele…”

“Ellinson… Ellen, we have to make a decision.”

The person holding me in their arms and patting me on the back spat out their voice with a sad expression.

“But I don’t know what to decide…”

“The Emperor knew you were the Grand Duchess and brought you here. That’s probably why he dragged you here because you weren’t easy to move around. Since you’re having twins, he probably didn’t know you were going to give birth so soon… but surely… he will, of course, try to take advantage of the children.”

Grand Duchess? Ellinson? You couldn’t not know the name of my brother’s mother, whom the Grand Duke loved so much.

I thought it was just a coincidence when my mom mentioned the name Ellinson earlier, but now I didn’t think it was.

“I…”

“If you do it wrong, you’ll lose everything. The Emperor… he’s trying to use you to destroy the Grand Duke.”

“Ha… if I hadn’t been caught like a fool… if I had known that the Emperor had that idea, my children…”

Holding me in her arms, she strode to the woman named Ellinson. Then she patted her shoulder.

“It can’t be helped. I… Even I was brought to the Emperor when I was pregnant. I didn’t know he was this insidious, pretending to be a good person to others.”

“Adele, if I don’t decide here, both children will…”

“The Emperor will take advantage of it. To cover up his sins, the Emperor must… kill the child… on the day he won’t need us. No matter what Ellinson, you won’t be able to  run away with two kids, so leave the child to me first.”
