Transmigrated Into A Trashy TL Novel Father
Enrique was transmigrated into a Trashy TL Novel, and he became the Villain's father/mother who was equally a Trashy father/mother. Always wanting to be a father he decided to take care of this gift that was given to him. avoiding the doom path of both him and his child.
Enrique sat on the corner of the bench depressed, tired and frustrated, inside his hand was a bottle filled with liquor, the rain was pouring down heavily on him. He had enough years of dedication to this relationship all for it to end like that. But can he blame her? He was only half a man who could nor give her what she wanted, adopt? No she wanted blood, she wanted the experience of carrying her own child in her womb.
Want to see the ultrasound, gender reveal, get everything from scratch. Oh how lovely it sounds but look at him now sitting on the corner of the road, rain pouring down on him, if only he was not half of a man. It's been a year since they divorce and today he saw her with her family. The baby looks just like her and he can't help but feel pathetic seeing them.
He was not pathetic, but he can't help but feel miserable at his situation. Feeling painful, he feels like he could end it all, getting up and walking out in the road as the truck approaches he opens his arms then shouts.
"Take me!"
He closes his eyes waiting for impact.
¡KREEESHH! *BRAKES* ¡SLATT!
Opening his eyes, a bright light shines, this was in contrast to the dark weather and grey skies. As his eyes adjusted to the lighting he came to see very unfamiliar surroundings.
The room was spacious, and white, there was a door at the end of the room but then he saw something. He looked down to see a woman holding both his legs while looking beneath him and it was then he saw another woman when he felt a wet cloth being wiped against his face. He wonders who these strangers were and why they were here?!
"Your Majesty, we need you to stay focus"
Before Enrique could ask any questions he felt this pain struck his lower body and on instinct he pushed.
"URGGHHHH!"
He looked down to see his swollen belly, he didn't understand. He grabbed onto the maids head next to him then screamed.
"URGHHHHHH!"
He began to cry as this pain was unnatural, he didn't understand anything.
"Come on, your majesty, I can see the head!"
Head?! What head?! But again as if his body were on autopilot he began to push.
"F CKING, F CK! $H!T! # # $ $ !"
The servants were at aw with the queen's extensive vocabulary, how could he utter such foul language!
"GET IT OUT! MAKE IT STOP! I'M GONNA DIE! I'M GONNA DIE! AHHHHH!"
"It's coming, keep it up your majesty, our young royal is on the way"
Everything was going blurry, all he knew he was to hold on to the nearest thing possible, he was sweating and swearing in every language he knew.
"khudhha! VOY A MORIR, MIERDA! Kore ni ataisuru tame ni watashi ga okashita tsumi wa nanidesu ka? ! Kuso ~tsu! Mère s'il vous plaît sauvez-moi ! je suis en train de mourir !"
The servants believe the queen was being possessed, speaking in such strange language and so they send for the emergency priest.
The servant whose hair he grabbed onto was dragged out in his hand leaving a bald spot, even with his best efforts the child still was not out yet and the priest was brought in but as soon as he put his hand over him, Enrique bit into his arm as the priest screamed out in pain.
"YOU HOLINESS!"
"Your Majesty fight it you mustn't let the demon win"
The midwife smiled seeing the baby was close and so she ordered to get the hot scissors and warm towel.
"Just a little more, your majesty"
And with a little more push Enrique fell back releasing the priest's arm, he had no strength left in his body.
"Congratulations your highness, it's sweet young boy" the midwife spoke softly.
She slaps the baby's bottom allowing it cry out loud, when the cries fill the room Enrique's body froze.
'Did I just push out a baby?!'
Enrique quickly sat up once more and began to feel himself, he could feel a bit of swallenness on his chest he looks inside his shirt that looks like premature chest from school charts. He then looked down, relieved that there were male genitals but it was so little. But on the sheets he irked, what was that blob thing? He then realised what was attached to it and then it clicked.
Labour, birthing cord, blob thing(placenta), baby plus him.
He just gave birth? How?! Panic struck his entire body as panic and stress began to cloud his mind. How he was male even the male gentile was there how was this even possible.
"Here is your highness your majesty"
The midwife gently placed the baby in his arms, before turning to the servants. "What are you all doing?! You children know nothing of childbirth, demons? What nonsense and blasphemy!"
The midwife has dealt with a good amount of childbirth to know the experience for the first time is hell, so it's not out of the ordinary for the queen to be out of pocket with language and actions.
Enrique was now looking down at the baby with a long pause.
Enrique can't help but think this baby looks a lot like the baby from a Trashy novel he read. He disliked the novel but the illustrations were so beautiful that they left a mark in his mind.
He can't remember some of the contents of the TL Novel but he can remember the characters because of the illustration page there was also a book that solely had illustrations for each of the characters and from the illustrations it had a better storytelling than the book instead.
This baby has the exact same hair as hair, the golden sunshine-like colour. The eyes that were blue yet green at the same time it reminds him of a rare marble, the lashes that form a beautiful shelter over his eyes, the rosy round cheeks, the soft plum yet pink lips.
What a radiant child, he thought, he was tired but he couldn't remove his eyes from the precious thing in his arms.
After the priest composes and heals himself, he looks at the beautiful Queen, such a pretty face but mouth has the bite of an untamed beast. He raises his hand hesitantly, backing off a bit then breathing.
Enrique looks up feeling something warm over his head, the previous aching he felt has now subsided to nothing but tiredness and fatigue. His eyes were beginning to fall asleep but he fought the urge.
He had a baby, he just gave birth to one and holding him in his arms his heart already has become attached. He doesn't want to close his eyes fearing that this child might disappear, so when the maids came over to take the baby he didn't hand him over he just easeback falling asleep with the baby in his arms.
The servants look at their Queen and gently move the under sheets, another set clean the queen, he was very tired so even though all this was being done he didn't move or show any signs of being awoken until it was time to take the baby.
As the maid was about to take the child, the queen flinched but didn't wake up and the maid took the young prince, cleaned him properly then fed him some milk and put him to sleep next to the queen.
Enrique didn't know how much time passed but hearing the sounds of sobs and small whimpers he opened his eyes to see his baby. He sat up and gently picked up his lovely baby smiling as he tried to hush him.
"Such a lovely little one, are you hungry?"
Enrique looks around wondering how he should call for the women that were previously in the room, after all the baby couldn't go hungry. He felt at distress seeing the baby in his ears crying.
Enrique dragged himself off the bed but felt weak in the knees causing him to almost fall but luckily somehow he managed to save himself. It was then Enrique realised he was hungry, he looked through the window and saw that it was late night and of course he'd be. He pushed out a friggin baby after all, he could eat a whole moose right now. Can moose even be eaten?
Enrique looks at the baby, his hand brushed across his premature breast, then an idea stuck. He blushed at the idea but he sat back on the bed then put the little one down on the bed. Though the baby was still crying and he was majorly embarrassed he lifted up his shirt then squeezed the breast gently, Enrique was ready to let out a relieving smile until the milk actually came from it.
'Why?! Nah why?!'
His face was red with embarrassment, kill him now. But! He then took deep breaths picking up the baby, "for the little one, for the little one"
He inhales then picks up the baby and holds up his clothes allowing him to suck on his breast, seeing the baby finally quieting down he smiles softly putting his pinky between the tiny palm.
The baby grips on tightly to it and a strong relief flush over his body, the grip was really strong.
Tears of joy soon flowed down his cheek, he didn't care that he was a man that just gave birth, he didn't care that this baby was the perfect illustration of the TL Novel he read.
All that matters is that he was in his arms, your health and lovely. He doesn't care if it takes away from what made him a man in his past life. He struggles with fertility issues and when he had a child it was a boy who could not grip his pinky like in movies and the baby didn't live five minutes out in the world.
So he doesn't care about his situation now. The baby he desires was with him.
After the little one was filled he got up pacing around while gently rubbing his back, as he kept walking around he eventually met into the large mirror to see his own reflection, long golden blond hair that looks so shiny. His eyelashes were long and blond forming a small shelter over his beautiful aqua blue eyes. His lips were cherry red and plum so tempting he could kiss them.
Again, Enrique was reminded of the illustration from the trashy TL Novel, in general the novel plot was not bad if the roles had changed up a bit.
Based on the characterization of the illustration this person's name was Ishley Emmet siegel the male mother of the villain of the trashy TL Novel.
Based on the illustration Ishley was not a good father or mother whatever his role was, ishley was that parent who was not only neglectful but also gave empty promises and just got rid of the villain he even added unnecessary things to his schedule just for him to stay away.
Everything he remembers is based on the illustrations and because it's illustrated it has no dialog and you would have to guess it, though the novel has a bad reputation the novel however was popular because of the interesting storyline the illustrations offer on the background of the three main characters.
Knowing the future of his beloved baby that he spent hours trying to force out of him, no way his hard labour would go through such things, Never!
So Enrique has made up his mind, he shall create a healthy family friendly environment for his baby! He looks at his baby squished face.
"Don't worry my little Leslie I'll give you a grand life with happy memories"
So first things first this son of a bitch father who hasn't popped up to meet his baby, his king and yet the deadbeat hasn't shown his ugly mug!
Enrique's tummy growls, he then frowns but before he crew the deadbeat out he will need to fill his empty stomach. He began searching the room until he found an inconspicuous bell on the table by the bed, on unknown instincts he rang it but there was no sound.
"Eh? Is this a prank? What kind of bell doesn't ring? Is it broken"
He put the bell back down when he heard a knock, "your majesty, you called?"
Enrique turns, he then looks at the bell. Was this a magical bell? Right he was in a fantasy.
He turned to the lady awkwardly, "um, c—"
GROWL—
Enrique's face flushes with embarrassment, how could his stomach do him like this?!
The maid bows, "his majesty's meal will be arriving soon, if there is anything else your majesty needs"
Enrique shows the baby, "um bath I need to bathe" he said awkwardly.
"I shall prepare his majesty's bath, will that be all?"
"Yes,"
The maid bows, turning to walk outside, Enrique looks at his baby with soft eyes, he kisses the red cheek of his lovely baby.
Soon the maid came with a tray filled with food, his tummy growls at the delicious smell so he places the baby down for a moment as the maid shoves the tray in front of him. The moment he picks up the fork to cut the tender cooked meat, he hears a loud sobbing.
"Ah! Little one! What's wrong?" He said to place down the fork and pick up the baby.
He smiles, hushing the soft sweet thing, who soon calms down. Seeing that the baby was calm he is ready to place back down once more only to be met with more crying from the little critter.
Enrique's heart softens when the little one doesn't want to leave his arms, and so he places the baby in one arm trying to eat with one hand. He looks at the maid on stand by then calls her with one finger, "could you cut these for me please?"
The maid nods, taking the knife and fork cutting the meat as Enrique hushes his little baby.
"Your meal has been cut, your majesty"
Enrique smiles happily, "thank you".
The maid felt strange watching the queen, the queen was a cold person who did not smile much. For most of his time he reads books and drinks tea or fulfils his duties as queen.
Seeing the queen with the young prince hushing and smiling at him allows the maid to see his highness in a new light.
She remembers during the queen's pregnancy it was rare for him to be even remotely happy, he was always in this tense mood, and what made his mood evermore so awful was when it is discovered that the king had to leave and even though he never said anything the maids all knew that the king's pheromones had a calming effect on the queen.
Enrique took the fork and with one hand tried to eat dinner, though he was still a bit terrified of the situation. There is a big plus side to it, his baby.
After eating and taking a bath which he had to do quickly because little Leslie was crying miserably for him.
He was now in bed looking at his baby, he smiles seeing his sleeping child. In his past life it was difficult to have children and that devastated him seeing that he grew up in a lovely family and wanted to raise an equally lovely family.
Enrique frowns then thinks about his family, his mother, father and siblings? What about his nephews and nieces? They must have heard the news by now. He felt a bit saddened at his predicament and could only think of the good things.
"I'm gonna give you the best life, okay?"
With that Enrique drifts off into soft slumbers.
The next day the maids entered the room to see the queen already up, hair messy and eyes looking exhausted. As they predicted, the queen has not slept .
Last night the bell rang around three times for the formula which they had to bring. They had suggested to the queen to let them care for the child but he got very defensive saying no.
Now looking at him, he had the smell of puke and baby vomit, his hair was a mess and bags were under his eyes.
"Your majesty, now will you like us to receive his highness?"
Enrique looks at them, "no, no, *yawn* I got this, I can do it"
Enrique thinks his baby is a ticking time bomb, can't leave his arms and explode with tantrums easily.
The maid sighed, Enrique got up and walked with the baby, "go prepare my bath and stuff"
The maids nodded, then started moving quickly, one preparing a bath, one getting clothes and the other preparing the baby necessaries.
Enrique now had to take a bath with the baby if not he would throw a fit, after bathing he dresses the little baby feeding him and then tries to put him back to sleep.
"Your Majesty, you are going to miss the morning audience with Duke Britley" the maid informs.
"I literally just pushed out another human yesterday don't you think I need time to recover before granting anyone an audience?"
Though if he is being honest he doesn't feel like he is in any pain, just some slight tiredness from the lack of sleep. Which he has seen in many hospitals where mothers have to get a lot of rest and a year's recovery from childbirth. He heard women talking about stitches and the pain they felt, he didn't feel anything.
"Are you in any pain, your majesty?" The maid asked, concerned.
Enrique found their reaction strange, the maid turned to the other maid. "Mari, go call forth the royal doctor".
The maid bowed to Enrique then left as the maid walked towards Enrique with concern. "Your majesty, are you worried for the child?"
Enrique looks at him concerned, "Hmm? He's healthy isn't he? I'm not worried"
Well as a parent he always is but he can't be paranoid, he kisses the cheek of the baby placing him in the white stroller that the maids had carried.
Soon the healer and the maid came through the door, "you called?"
"Royal Healer please check his majesty" she requested.
Enrique looks at the man, right now he barely knows what is what right now. He gave birth yesterday and these people are acting as if it's nothing. Do they not allow others to heal?
The Royal healer raised his hands to his forehead soon a glowing light slightly green shone over his head. Enrique was impressed, he should have expected much. It's a fantasy world.
"Except for some fatigue his majesty is quite fine, or am I wrong?"
Enrique was confused, "wait, I gave birth…. Shouldn't I get at least a recovery period?" He asked.
The healer awkwardly smiles, "well, it would be the natural thing to do but…. With the absence of his majesty….."
Enrique's eyes widened, "huh? Repeat that?"
"With the absence of his majesty? Your majesty? Is there something bothering you?"
Enrique could see concern expressed all over his face, "well" he looks at the maids.
Receiving the gesture both of them bow and excuse from the room.
"I think I've lost my memories"
The healer was shocked, but soon regained his composure. "It must be from the heightened stress of labour, something psychological or perhaps magic?"
The healer seems genuinely concerned about Enrique, "it seems, we must wait for a few more days to be sure".
Enrique nods, "yes, but let's not in form anyone including the king"
The healer nods, "I will try my best"
So after a discussion with the healer, whose name was Uther Ramius. This is the kingdom of Hysteria. Yes, this kingdom is a big joke.
He regrets not making an effort to remember the plot but the main characters infuriated him so much that he could kill their existence right now, but they were babies right now so of course he can't do that. But he became a dad or mom, and to know his baby would be screwed over by two pieces of dumpster trash.
He bit into his bottom lips so hard it started to bleed, the healer was startled. "Your majesty, I know you are nervous right now but please refrain from self harm. I'll be by your side"
The healer Uther healed his lips, Enrique was surprised, he was told of magic but still to see it first hand is astonishing. That would explain him standing right now, though usually he'd get three days rest for his mental health he was currently filling for the king who was at war and recently discussing peace negotiations.
If Enrique was being honest he couldn't care less, but then again if there isn't any peace then it wouldn't be safe to raise his child in so he can let this one go.
'You got lucky this time Mr. King'
If he's gonna raise a child with standards, because that's what he grew up not be. He will have a perfectly healthy environment, good parental figures, good relationship goals and a pleasant personality. If this runaway father doesn't do this, then he can poison him and find a new parental figure.
"Your majesty… your scaring me"
Enrique had no idea about the grotesque expression he was wearing, but soon composed himself. "My apologies, healer Uther"
"I am unworthy," Uther said calmly..
'Something thing tells me he says that a lot'
Enrique sighed when he finally reached the throne room then walked up to the throne still pushing the stroller, he was careful not to shift the sleeping child too much. When he reached the throne he parked it next to him then sat in the queen throne. He went and sat inside the throne placing his elbow on the handle then supported his chin.
He waited for the royal chamberlain to arrive, his husband's so-called assistant. He looks at the sleeping child with a warm heart. The child was so precious.
So apparently this world is ABO well it was mentioned in the book which he remembers but also don't remember, he remembers the parts where alpha males are assholes not limited to the ml did pity the protagonist at some point but it was thrown out the window when he decided to stay with the Ass-shit that not only abused him but tortured and killed his baby.
He looks at his baby once more, all because he didn't have standards. The bar was too friggin low, not even low. It was buried and dancing under the lavas of hell, it was non-existent, it was even the devil praying for him, bad. His poor child.
So if this king is an asshole, it's either a personality evaluation and redeeming himself before his baby is one year old or his dipping, yeah, his taking the runaway dad or mom, his going for the milk but the baby will be taste testing the milk.
That's how serious he is about all this bs.
"Your imperial majesty, Duke Britley of Denya would like to be granted an audience"
Enrique rolled his eyes, "finally" he whispered under breath. "You are permitted to enter, audience granted".
As soon as the door opens revealing the Duke reveals himself, Enrique was almost left silent. Enrique should think of the consequences of coming into a fantasy novel. The consequences of questioning his sexuality.
He should have done this from day one but he was busy pushing out a baby and thinking of his baby's future, how will he do it?! He means how will he not do it these men or friggin attractive!
Duke Britley bowed before the queen, "Greetings the mother of this kingdom, and the moon of Odessa, his majesty Ishley Emmet Siegel".
That greeting made his heart fluttered a bit not much though but it was cute, or maybe it was his voice who knows. The Duke Britley to put it in short was handsome, thick, crimson red red hair, red ruby colored eyes, thick eyebrows look at his dark red lips.
And the way his arm crosses his chest as he looks at him, he can see why teens and women in their 20s loves fantasy men so much48
And the way his arm crosses his chest as he looks at him, he can see why teens and women in their 20s loves fantasy men so much. They are delectable.
"Your majesty?"
Finally Enrique snapped out his thoughts, "aw, yes"
"Congratulations" he smiles gently
"Hmm?"
"The delivery and the mother of Odessa has survive, is it not a reason brings and Congratulates" he spoke fluently.
Enrique closed his eyes, "yes, of course. You'd find pushing out another person takes a lot more than it looks"
"It does, doesn't it?" He said as if fascinated.
"Enough chit chat state your business"
"It's regaining, the refugees from Rokinham. We may need assistance for building a place in which they all could stay and medicine for the omega" he said.
Enrique looks away awkwardly not even here for a week already faced with a problem he has no idea about, reminds him of high-school pop-quiz those where some nasty test that decided to show up at his worse.
"Right, I'll try to do something soo—"
"" WOAAHHHH!"
Enrique sighed, of course what a very appropriate time.
"Well if that's all you may be excuse me"
Duke Britley looks at the queen, there seems to be something different about the queen.
(A/n: slight change to the story the kingdom name is Odessa and there deity is Hysteria)
Enrique was trying to hush the baby, if not for the healer restoring some energy, he'd be dead beat tired. Though much can't be said for his mentally he went back to the throne sitting and gently shakes the baby, he looks tithe makes, "his bottle now, bring some toys as well maybe a Suda"
Enrique orders but then he feels the baby bottom vibrating, and a loud sound spreads through the room. "Well excuse you" he chuckled, "ah, nevermind I'll go change him"
Enrique puts him back into the crib then began to push, "sorry Duke Britley, I'll have to cut this meeting short I'll notify you when I'm done with following procedures"
Duke Britley looks at him, "yes, farewell your majesty" the Duke bows.
Uther walks two steps behind Enrique then whispers. "Your majesty, it's not appropriate to reveal his highness before his baptism"
Enrique pauses, "what? My son is to be baptised?"
"It's mandatory for all royals to be baptised,"
Enrique doesn't really have a problem, he is open minded as long as it isn't forced on to his baby he doesn't mind learning especially since he is in a new world and it would be easier to fit in.
"Heh, never in my wildest dreams would I ever think I'd be teaching his majesty about the history of Odessa." Uther Said with a bit of laughter.
Enrique didn't say anything, he wondered what type of person the original was but he didn't think much considering he didn't care much about his own child.
"Well during the second reign of king Farquhar Raynier children got switched by a changeling, '' he said.
Enrique widened his eyes, 'those exist?!'
"Changelings has a history of stealing all the love of humans driving them mad, and when the king discovered the change Well, hm"
"Well what?"
"He killed them all including the ones who wasn't since it was hard to tell the difference, and the mothers couldn't stand the stand it and in result he had to end them as well"
Enrique felt shivers and looked at his baby, "and the reasoning for the baptism?"
"Holy magic protects them, as well as marks them changeling despise the holy essence it kills them so they are considered somewhat demons, they don't necessarily do anything to the babies they take, they are playful and consider trickster as well. There are many aspects to them that are not widely explored".
Enrique doesn't care, imagine having your precious baby taken away and lost by gremlins who only think of as playing around the psychological damage, all the emotions and love just learn they are demons he picks up his baby11
Enrique doesn't care, imagine having your precious baby taken away and lost by gremlins who only think of as playing around the psychological damage, all the emotions and love just learn they are demons he picks up his baby. He will keep his child close.
"When is this baptism?"
"It can only happen after the return of his majesty," Uther said.
"And if he doesn't?"
"Hmm, he will, no need to worry your majesty"
He just told him his baby will become a gremlin, you think there is something to worry about.
"What's my relationship with the king like anyway?"
The healer opens the nursing room for Enrique who walks in, "I am not sure, I've heard rumours but if I could say from personal experience I'd say you both are or like disagreeable strangers"
Enrique thinks that is an interesting way to describe a terrible relationship, he could just say they were enemies and be done with it.
Placing the baby on the changing table he removes the diapers and begins to thoroughly clean his darling baby.
"Well, considering previously the royal family and Siegel family has always been at odds until your majesties happen"
"What do you mean we 'happened'?" Enrique inquires
"I myself is not sure your majesty"
Uther fixes his glasses, after changing the diapers he had the servants bring formula where he sat in the rocking chair by the window giving his baby some sunlight as he feeds him.
"When do you think his majesty will return"
"Well, considering the baptism and your estrus period might be sooner than you think. Usually before healing magic omega wouldn't have to worry about that until the next 6 months but because of healing magic that changes" the healer said, "healing magic is such an interesting thing but it takes away the true human potential for greater knowledg–"
He stops the moment he relieves he was about to yammer on about greater knowledge, while Enrique was more puzzled on what the hell was an Estrus?
Before he could ask the healer had already gone before his eyes, which led him to wonder when he left?
This new world was leaving him on eggshells.
It's been seven days since Enrique transferred to this world and he must say... he is TIRED!
His baby has been nothing but miserable! He clings to him every second not that he doesn't mind but to the point where he can't eat!
And even when he is with him he cries to no end, Uther said it's because of the lack of pheromones on the father side which children born from omega tend to need in their early stages or they might grow a bit sickly or become miserable. That's bull he is the father and he is the mother he pushes him out himself! This is unfair!
Enrique is in distress because last night the little fella caught a cold and even though he is healed he can't help but fret for him. It's obvious the baby is miserable and he doesn't like it. What kind of parent likes seeing their baby like this?!
"WAAAAAAH! WAAAAHH! AHHH"
He pressed the baby closer while gently shushing him. Uther fixes his glasses as he looks at Enrique, "why not, give him some of your pheromones to smooth him a bit? Or rather get his majesty's belongings that have traces of his pheromones?"
Enrique looks at him, "huh? Shouldn't it already be washed out?"
"Well, the king does have a strong pheromones"
He remembers the late stages of the queen's pregnancy when the king had to go, the king had filled him up of pheromones and for him to not have his estrus disrupted had to take a break despite taking the pills, only the beta could stand being the presence of the queen since they are for less sensitive to pheromones than alpha and omegas.
Enrique didn't waste time in calling the servants, "bring me the emperor's clothes, nightgowns, whatever, don't rub up on it too much!"
Enrique thinks this world is weird but even if it has a bit of this "pheromone" he will go to hell and back for it.
"Okay, Leslie shush"
He hushes him, "why haven't you released your pheromones? Excuse me of I'm being inappropriate"
"Eh?"
The healer swallow, it's inappropriate for omega or alpha to release their pheromones to anyone who was not their partners and asking them to could be counted as harassment.
"I'm sorry" he apologised
"How?"
"Huh"
"How do you release it?" He tilts his head.
"Well, I guess it's something instinctual, but if I had to guess think of it as if your holding your breath and you need to release it"
Enrique thinks that's the worst analogy anyone could use, but it's worth a try. He breathes in slowly then exhales repeating the process a few times as he waits... and nothing happens.
"Hgh! Why is it not working?!" He glared at Uther.
"I do not know your majesty, pheromones are something natural like body smell but a bit more"
"My baby is irritable. What do you do when babies have pheromone deprivation?! There must be backup plans Like for widows or single mothers! Something!" He yelled aggressively.
The doctor understood the queen's mood swing. He was a mother and the instincts were strong, he must calm him down before he lost control.
"Well, there are medicines for that but unless the parents is confirmed to be permanently from the family within the first six months there is nothing I can do" Uther fixes his glasses
"Why?"
"Well, it could impact the child's psychology to bond with his parents, his majesty the king," Uther said.
"Explains"
"Well, if we'll when the child medically bonds to artificial pheromones and will he can develop a codependency on the artificial pheromones and will cause problems when the child should separation just like now who his misery that would proven to be for more worse, it will also affects their eating and sleeping habits" Uther said
"And the parents?"
"Usually omega and alpha children identify parents pheromones and grow an attachment to it if he depends on the artificial pheromones he will reject his father's pheromones and will mostly reject the presence of his parents and if you should... ehem... interact with his majesty and his pheromones is left on you their is a 45% chance he will also reject you as well" Uther Explains.
Enrique was dumbfounded, thus was all so complicated. This baby was so sensitive, but he had no choice.
When the maid walks in and relaxing smells of Lavenders, "here you are, your majesty"
The maid bows offering the waist coat, as Enrique took it he didn't even realise his pheromones unconsciously left his body as he began to wrap his baby within the waist coat.
The two scent mix together as smoothing the child as he cooed in his parent's embrace. Enrique smiles seeing the little one finally relaxing as he lifts him up gently kissing his soft cheek.
"Oh my sweet thing"
Uther smiles, he picks up the tea fixing his glasses.

The pheromone problem has ended, Leslie is now two weeks old and Enrique must say….. his baby is the cutest! But he must compose himself but he can't because his baby is too cute! He wishes cameras exist!
He was now sitting on the throne; he was granting an audience with Duke Britley to discuss matters about the refugees.
He sighs looking at the chamberlain honestly he should manage this kingdom he doesn't know the first thing about it! But he does know some things about buildings.
"I built this, Charmin!"
Charmin opens a portrait of a certain area and some housing design to keep people, the building was designed in a 'U'.
"So we are going to build this, it will be four stories as you mention before there should be separation of each of the secondary gender so as to not cause trouble, so on the two ends will be alphas and omegas family like marked companions shall be in the middle alongside betas" Enrique discusses.
Though the arrangement of the omegas was not entirely his idea he is still getting used to this secondary gender thing.
Duke Britley smiles softly, he has been trying for months to get the queen to help. It seems motherhood opens his heart.
Enrique seeing his handsome smile he looks away, it is not gay to find another man's smile sweet is it?
"Thank you your majesty"
"We are not done yet your excellency" the chamberlain stops him, "the rations and work, during the building of this project, we shall have the refugees work alongside our people as well as help distribute ration for several months until we can create a stable area"
Duke Britley looks at the chamberlain, he doesn't say anything, only stares at him.
"Is that all?"
"For the most part yes, some other nobles has decided to contribute to the situation"
Duke Britley glances at the chamberlain and asks "who?"
"Count Leyhe, Marchioness Rashna and viscountess Edwine"
"Edwine?"
Enrique could see a spark lit at the name mentioned, Duke Britley glared at the chamberlain. Seems there is bad blood between these two.
"Must it be 'her' your majesty?" He asks in a dead manner.
"Watch your tone as you speak to his majesty"
"Watch your tone as you speak to me,Chamberlain," he said snarkily.
"Both of you watch your behaviour as you're in the presence of his majesty, no manner of disrespect shall be tolerated" Uther said.
Duke Britley looks at Uther who stand next to Enrique, he had forgotten that omega for a moment.
Omegas with recessive traits are not very well respected, while normal omegas are treated as common betas, dominant omegas are revered as much as alphas.
But recessive omegas face many prejudices because of their low birth functioning, intellect and usually they are not as beautiful as Uther.
Enrique thanked Uther inside; he really wonders what he will do without him.
"My apologies for unkempt manner your majesty" Duke Britley said slightly bowing
"I as well shall apologise, to his majesty" the chamberlain chimes in.
"Well, it's best to start with the preparations. Do you best to work with each to build Odessa, praise the Goddess Hysteria" Enrique said formally
"Praise the Goddess Hysteria" they all repeated.
'That was actually funny to say'
Duke Britley took a last glance at Uther then left with the plan that was given to him by Charmin. Enrique sighs, "errr, when is this returning" he groans
Uther smiles, "patient your majesty, he'll return soon, besides your doing so well"
"Hmp, well? All I want to do is spend time with Leslie!"
Enrique sighs as he stands, Uther nods at Charmin. "Excellent work chamberlain Charmin" Uther said.
"Not at all, royal doctor," he smiles at Uther.
They both followed behind him. "Seriously, all I ask is to spend more time with my baby! He is busy with war! Should I run away!"
As they walked through the halls something caught the eyes of Uther, "um, your majesty"
"Poor Leslie, he must be me very much!"
"Your majesty"
The chamberlain stops and looks through the window and suddenly his face flush of its color . "Your majesty!" He called
"What!" Enrique suddenly turned
"His majesty…. Is here"
Enrique pauses but suddenly hurries to the windows. He wants to see this bastard who is his baby's father.
As he looked through the window his cheeks turned beat red and his eyes burned with brightens..
"MY EYESSSS URGGHHH!" He yelled out
Uther looks at the queen who was exaggerating. Enrique was literally crying from the beauty he just witnessed from a for, he held his head as he stooped behind the wall.
"I can't face that"
"Your majesty?" Uther said, confused.
Enrique grabbed him, "you didn't tell me he was breathtakingly beautiful! His lips look more kissable than a chick's!"
"Woa— what?"
Enrique started to shake him, "I'm going into seclusion… I shall not be visited goodbye"
"Wha— what?! Your majes—"
Enrique was already running for his life, the chamberlain eyes went blank. "His majesty gotten strange"
Enrique went into the room and took his baby from the maids he sat on the bed to observe his baby. "Your dad is such a gorgeous species, why didn't you tell me?"
He teases the baby, the baby looks at him confused but soon gets distracted by his long blond hair and tries to stretch for it.
Enrique thinks he is gonna be co-parenting with that man but he's so bright his eyes burn.
Enrique inhales that is not the point! He looks at his baby. The point is to create a proper environment and example for his little boy who will grow up to be a victim of bad people and will be diagnosed with lack of self love deficiency.
So in order to grow him well and beloved he needs to create a healthy and positive background as well as surroundings. It means putting up with that man. But what if he goes blind in the process.
He just realised this whole place having him question things about himself, since when he was into dudes!
He went and threw the bed to lay down with the baby next to him watching his precious who was eating his fist. He found his baby to be the cutest in the whole kissing his cheek.
What the heck! For this baby he would chop an arm off, "hehe, don't worry I'll do it for you I'll do anything"
And so Enrique decided to wait until this king came and then he would confront him!
That wait lasted from an hour to a night, from a night to a day, from a day to two days, from two days to four, from four…
"IT'S BEEN A WEEK!" Enrique yelled at Uther.
Uther icked when a droplet of Enrique's spit spilled in the tea. He put it aside then took up some snacks to eat, he took a small bite into the powder puff cake.
"Well, your majesty and his majesty are said to be in a strained relationship…"
"Hello! His kid! Be angry or be a dickward all he wants at least cherish your KID!" Enrique yelled.
"Your majesty, Queen Ishley Reynier language"
Usually Uther wouldn't be so casual speaking with Enrique, but ever since the loss of memories he and the queen have grown quite close. Uther takes another bite into the delicious cake happily he doesn't want to leave this place, he wants to become an imperial physician that serves the queen.
Fixing the rim of his glasses he continues, "well, you could grant an audience"
"With my own husband?! Bullshit!"
Uther covers his cake so if Enrique spits spill, it would not be on his cake.
"Your majesty, language. well I believe you have a goal in mind? If so, is it not best to set your pride aside for a moment?"
"Pride! I'm prideful. for expecting a proper husband and father from this seed donor!" Enrique shouts.
"I'm drowning," Uther said apathetically, He then took off his glasses to clean it.
It was expected for the queen to be defensive about pride; he was a dominant omega after all, he sighed. "Think about his highness, your majesty, are you not trying to create a lovely environment for the prince?"
Uther puts his glasses back on, Enrique thinks for a moment, that is true. And so he gave in, "I'll go visit him, now!" He said
They are married, granted the audience that's no talk for a married couple, Uther nods relieved that he can now finally eat in peace.
Enrique stomps out the room, heading towards the king's office and he must say, it was a long walk! His legs are tired.
Finally at the office door he slams it open, to see the radiant male behind the desk face down writing.
"Have you ever heard the term knocking?" he said casually.
Enrique wonders if this person is used to this he barely sees the phrase, "why haven't you come visit" he asks.
"You wanted me to visit, and here I was thinking you couldn't stand the sight of me"
Enrique didn't know what to say as he watched as the king switched paper, handing the one he marked to the chamberlain.
"I want to thank you for aid you provided for Duke Britley I'll take it from here," he said
"It's particularly my job as well ain't it? But I'm not here about that"
"Oh what could the great Ishley Emmet siegel be here about" he said, sarcastically.
Enrique puts his hands on his hips as he sighs rolling his eyes at this king's condescending tone, "I want you to go on a stroll with me and Leslie" he said.
The king didn't move his eyes from the papers as he continued his works, this was really starting to bug Enrique.
"If by Leslie, you mean the offspring of you and me. I must say I never peg you as the one to joke Queen Ishley,"
"I am not joking" Enrique rolls his eyes.
The king pause for a moment before saying, "chamberlain get the imperial physician as well as the pope, I don't think our queen is in the right state of mind"
Finally lost his patience Enrique slammed the table, "Look me in the eyes Mother Fucker!"
The king looks into his eyes frowning, Enrique is careful not to ruin his paperwork as a man works day in and out he didn't dare ruin hard work.
The chamberlain was speechless from the words.
Enrique didn't break eye contact but he must say, those are some rich and beautiful eyes. He could get lost into those fine gems, not to mention his irresistible peach red lips. The thick brows that fold together as he stares into his eyes.
Enrique if not for his baby would completely forget what he was here for, men like these make straight men straight men such as himself fold and curve into crumble papers.
Enrique was jealous!
"Bold of you to claim I have an incestuous relationship with my mother," he said, frowning at him.
Enrique backs up standing straight with a prideful smirk lined across his face. "I see I've gotten your undivided attention"
The king eases back folding his knees then rests his hand on his knees, giving his full attention to Enrique. "Yes,"
Enrique looks into his eyes and said sternly, "let us all go for a stroll into the garden together"
The king sighed, "fine, if you insis–"
"Everyday, we shall all take two strolls one in the day and evening"
The king looks at him, "what?"
"We will all have two meals together, breakfast and dinner, we shall also share a room" he blushes looking aside.
Why is he blushing! He's a grown man who was once married! This is nothing!
The king rubs his temple, there was nothing hard within his request so he doesn't see why he can't do it. "It was your will to stay in the nursery . I don't see why it is my problem that we are sleeping separate" he said, drawing the chair closer to the desk.
"What?"
They slept in the same room? Why has no one mentioned this?
"If this was what you needed to I didn't see the need to throw a tantrum"
"This bitch" Enrique thought.
"I'm throwing a tantrum for expecting you to be a parent, we are married and this is our child" Enrique looks at him.
The king looked at him, attention piqued, "where you not the one who said not get carried away and this isn't something special just a requirement" he said as he returned to his work.
Enrique wonders just how bad was their relationship?!
"Well, I spend too many hours pushing out a child to change my mind. I want to give this child a happy future"
The king's hand stopped in its tracks, it was as if something was tugged at. "Haa, I see now" he pulls out the chair. "Well, let's begin that stroll shall we?"
Enrique was a bit surprised, he was prepared for a full on asshole but ultimately he was…. Not as bad?
"Chamberlain I shall postpone my work for a moment" he said as walks to the door and opened it, "as for you Queen Ishley, I'll be taking a stroll".
"Now that's more like it, King... King…"
The king looks aside rolling his eyes letting out a sigh, "Queen I'm getting old here"
Enrique closes his mouth, he then walks through the door as the king follows pursuit.
"And next please don't interrupt my work"
"I will interrupt your work whenever I want to, you are king, I am queen as well as spouse, your duties as father comes first then husband worry about the kingdom later" Enrique lectures.
"You expect me to put an entire kingdom with billions of people at 3rd best, hehe, how utterly selfish" the king said.
"Well the entire kingdom would certainly put you first, a kingdom can survive without a king" Enrique looks at him.
"I'm aware, but not enough reason to neglect my kingdom is it" the king said opening the door.
"But you can neglect your family, how pathetic" Enrique scolds walking into the nursery.
"Leslie, daddy is here"
Enrique walks over to the crib with a small child eating his hand looking at the cute ornaments over it, when he sees Enrique he giggles while stretching for him.
"Aww so cute, hehe I miss you too"
The king observes Enrique interest pique, he looks at the nanny who is bowing at them. Enrique turns and looks at her. "Ah, can prepare his Suda as well as his favourite toy and the new stroller I order"
The king looks at him, "how can you know it's his favourite when he can't communicate" the king asks, touching his chin.
A Flashback of the many nights when he was awake stroll through his mind then he smiles.
"Hehe, you shall see soon" Enrique grins menacingly.
"?"
The king felt troubled by that reply but didn't voice his complaints. Soon his eyes met with the little baby who peered at .
Walking outside with the baby in a stroller, Enrique smiles. The king was keeping his distance as they walk, Enrique wants to scold to come closer but because he knew how defensive men can be, he won't push it.
Enrique then paused, his wording terms even changing!
The king looks around as he walks, his hands behind his back.
"This garden is lovely," Enrique said, ready to strike up a conversation.
"Is that so?" he said, looking around at the red rose bushes that create a path into a maze. "I don't think it's all that significant, my grandmother had a more radiant garden but it's no more"
Enrique felt bad then said, "how sad"
"No not really, she burned it down because my grandmother said just like birds and bees the garden will attract beauties. After being burned down my grandmother said what will this attract now? Flies?"
Enrique wanted to laugh, it sounds like a petty couple.
"They sound so interesting,"
"Well, they were the most interesting mates I've ever met," he said.
Enrique wasn't clear on this whole mate thing, Uther did say the king and the previous owner were the strangest he ever met. He said he never understood how two mates could seem to dislike each other.
"What about us? Are we not interesting"
"No, actually we just don't like each other's presence," he said firmly.
"Yet we sleep sleep in the same bedroom"
"Requirements for an offspring, as well as the issue with your pheromone disruption"
Enrique wanted to ask what's that but he didn't, instead he didn't want to pry into bad things.
"Well, how about we be like a real couple, without those requirements"
The king pauses, this was a strange notion to him. "Does it change anything?" He said
"It will set as a good example for our child,"
"He will be a king, I don't see our relationship affects"
"It does, I want him to grow up knowing what love is and how to feel about it, Good Examples" Enrique lectures.
The king stomps his foot towards him, upset. Enrique had poke a spot. "Must I remind again that it was not only the plot of my father but yours as well? I've told you once and I'll tell you a hundred more I never wanted to mark you. You being my destined mate is a lie because I don't feel drawn to you and it's clearly the same feeling for you".
Enrique was speechless, their relationship is more complicated that it seems. It seems this was a forceful marriage, "isn't that a better reason to work it out for our child? We never had a choice, isn't it better that he does?"
The king pauses, it asks if he came to a realisation, he looks down before looking back down, with a genuine smile. "You're right, then let's make a brighter future for our child".
Enrique feels that the king agrees with him and doesn't have to wait a long while to come to an agreement.
"By the way, about his baptism?" Enrique said
"Yes, I've made preparations for the next two days," he said.
Enrique didn't expect it to be so quick but the sooner the better he doesn't want to have his baby kidnapped by gremlins!
"Well that's good," he smiles.
The king nods as they continue on with their stroll. After their stroll they went back to their respective places until night time came.
The king who was next to the bookshelf reading, smiles a bit at the sound of the door opening.
"And here I was thinking we will be starting our agreement some other night" the king skips through the pages as he speaks.
"No, today will be our first day together as parents! So we should plan for taking turns"
The king brows folds for a moment, not sure so he looks up and sees the queen with the baby and a large bag at his side. He drops the book gaping.
"So, until he is baptised, he will be sleeping on the bed with us. Then after the baptism he will be sleeping in a crib"
Enrique puts the bag drawer at the end of the bed, he rests the baby on the bed. The king looks at him walking up to him. "There is a nanny for this," he said.
"But we are the parents, it's our main duty, we can't stress the poor lady can we?" Enrique said enthusiastically.
"A– well, err" the king stretched his head raking for an idea that would be plausible but none. He had no choice but to sigh, "I guess it won't hurt"
"God! We will take turns but for tonight I'll teach you"
The king nods it couldn't be bad anyway can it?
He was WRONG!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The king smiles at Enrique who places the blanket in the middle of the and rest the sleeping baby on it. Enrique then proceeds to instruct him on what to do and what not to do.
"Now remember to be careful and prepare, the milk is there and should be at the right temperature, understand?"
"Yes, yes, how hard can it be?" He said sitting in the bed.
Enrique didn't say anything as his upper lip twitches, the king intentionally or not just uses the forbidden words and now the snow freckle will soon understand the pains of parenthood.
They both went to bed with the baby, one feeling vengeful the other feeling casual. As soon as the emperor is about to settle into slumber.
"WAAAAAAH"
The emperor opens his eyes from shock, such a loud sound. He had no choice but to get up, and pick the baby up.
"According to your mother, your either hungry or you mess yourself simple task let's check"
He searched the diapers to find there was luckily no signs of faeces, and so he went for the milk the king must say.
"Such a deafening sound"
He went to pour the milk from the preserver, pouring it into the bottle he used a little of his mana then put it in the baby's mouth but froze for a moment putting it at the back of his hand. He hissed as burns him.
"WAAAAAAH!"
"WAAAAAAH WAAAAAAH!"
The king could barely focus, "Quiet Child!"
"WAAAAAAH! WOAAAAHH!"
The king could feel a headache erupting, he tries to hush it as the baby's sounds are unbearable.
The king tries walking around the room impatiently then tests the milk again until finally he could feed the hungry creature.
He sat at the edge of the bed feeding him, he looked at the former ugly thing looking so precious drinking the milk and so he smiled.
After drinking his fill the baby once again starts to cry miserably, the king was confused why was he crying, he is fed! Did he poop no!
He went towards Enrique to wake, who mumbles then opens his eyes. "Mm… what?"
"I don't understand"
Enrique looks at him with one eye open, "did you burp him"
"... were you awake this whole time?" The king asks
Enrique stretches, "what do you mean? How hard can it be right? Now give gently patts and burp him then hush him to bed as for me I shall be resting"
"..."
The king had to spend the next three hours tending to the crying child. Until finally he could get some sleep, then the next hour.
"WOAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
He had to change the diapers and spend some time sitting up with a toy until finally getting him to sleep again.
"WAAAAAAHHHHHH"
Feed him then hush, as he was about to close his eyes.
"WOAAAAHHHHHHHHH…
Sitting next to the windows, he sat up hushing the crying child. Inside the king's mind a court was in session.
"I say throw it out the window! We can make new ones" Angry king yells.
"You can't possibly do that, it's only a baby! All we need is patience" Patience king objects.
"Well certainly we won't have much patience left to last the next few days, that thing releases the most putrid smells of all time" the Disgust king said.
"No, no think about the happiness that has yet to come," the joyful king grins
"Not to mention, the queen, will she not be sad and heartbroken? We don't want that, do we?" The Sad king said, hugging his pillow.
The court went quiet, "well grief happens! We've lived through it all, we can throw it away and get a new one with the queen! Be more prepared for our next baby" the animosity king said.
The crowd whispers, a bit convincing.
"But that could break the little relations we have with the queen, did we not all agree that we will end this generational pain" the greedy king said. "We all agree we will parent this child so what is a little struggle compared to war?"
The court went silent once more all agreed, then the king on the throne clapped his hand then stood. "Then it's agreed upon we shall not throw the baby, and aim for a successful family!"
The king closes his eyes as he stands from the window ready to carry him to the bed, Enrique smiles seeing the picture of the perfect father and son.
But soon the sunrise through the window shining upon them it was already the next day7
But soon the sunrise through the window shining upon them it was already the next day.
A/n
How are you liking the ML?
Having felt the light shine in him, he looks through the window. "Ah, it's morning already?"
Having been to war, staying up was not an issue for him, it was the daunting task of the constant need of the baby and loud disruptive sounds that he creates which for some reason disrupts his ability to think and remain focused.
Enrique gets off the bed yawning and stretching. "I'll take him from here" he smiles.
"Huh? Really? Do you not require more of my assistance?"
Suddenly his eyes trail down and so did Enrique the nipple areas were a bit soak, because he was so use Having the little bundle of joy feeding off them naturally he wouldn't have to worry but now all he could do is blush embarrassed at leakage.
"Quit staring!" He yells embarrassed.
"Ehem, pardon me" The king almost chuckles, "well, when shall I take part again tonight"
"Hmm, I'll visit you later today, now focus on work while I take care of our bundle of joy!"
Enrique kisses the baby as he takes him to the king then takes Enrique's chin and kisses his cheeks then casually says. "Good morning Queen" as he walks off to prepare for work.
Enrique was left in a stand still, his brain was broken. Did those soft peaches touch his cheek?! Soon Enrique's face begins to fry and turn red.
He knows he said he will aim for a good relationship to showcase for his son but so fast!
His heart is beating so rapidly he could barely keep up!
Enrique took deep breaths to calm down, then had the day prepare him for the day. He went to have tea outside in the garden with Uther.
"This morning he kissed me!"
Uther took five sugar cubes and put them into the tea, "congratulations" he said unenthusiastically, as he mixed the tea.
"I thought you said our relationship was terrible"
"Well in terms of destined Mates it was" Uther mumbles.
"You made it sound like the king was horrible!'
"He is a wise king, why would you take advice from a bystander who barely knows him as a person?" Uther said while drinking the tea.
Enrique glares at the male who was casually drinking his tea, he then looks at the young prince staring at his mother while sucking on the Soother.
"I feel tricked and deceived," Enrique pouts.
"Reminds me of when they took my virginity," Uther said sarcastically.
"I'm royalty you know" Enrique emphasises.
"I know your majesty" Uther feign respects.
Enrique groans then turns to the baby picking him up, "isn't he being too mean to your mommy we should punish him right?" Enrique talks in a pouty way.
The baby seems a bit confused tilting his head still sucking casually on the Soother.
Charmin the royal secretary was now walking into the room with all the baby books he collected from the royal library and placed them on the table.
(A/n: changed chamberlain to secretary because this autocorrect doesn't like "the" "chamberlain" and use it as if it's a name)
Charmin was surprised when the king came in asking the maids to deliver books on babies as much as possible. He had just received many of the books that were yet to come, which was a lot. He looks at the king who stops and pauses for a moment.
"Tell them to place the rest in our bedroom, have them prepare a shelf strictly for children" he commands with a serious tone.
The king was very much unprepared and his nature never made him yield to a challenge he shall overcome this battle with greatness.
He looks, takes the book at the top then opens it and begins to read, focusing on it.
Charmin is in awe for so long he doesn't realise how much time passes until there is a knock at the door.
"Come it," the king said as he drew from his seat. "Stroll, or lunch" he asks.
Enrique was left silent; he didn't properly enter yet seeing the king's enthusiasm he was left speechless.
"I was thinking a stroll, but if you're hungry how about lunch inside the garden"
"Yes, Charmin go tell the maids to prepare lunch"
The king walks up to Enrique and looks at the baby looking at him, the baby has pretty aqua eyes like his mother. He heard from the doctor that he has dominant traits which wouldn't be surprising since both had such traits, he looks at Enrique smiling.
Enrique scratches his cheek, thinking of the lips that were very attractive.
"Well shall we begin walking?" Enrique asks.
"Yes of course" the king said.
Out In the garden Enrique smiles as he looks at the king who was looking at the baby.
"I've already prepared garments for tomorrow," he said firmly.
"Right the baptism" Enrique said.
"Though I'm certainly not looking forward to seeing your family"
"Excuse me?" Enrique asks
"You have…. Invited them haven't you"
Enrique avoids eye contact 'was that also a requirement'
The king touches his lips then smiles. "Then I guess we will go without them just us"
"What about your family?"
"Won't be attending," he said, drinking from the cup.
Enrique feels that another thing he might want to fix is this family, the king seems to hate his in- laws and family.
He smiles while taking a bite of the sandwich as his eyes sparkle. He sucks the fingertips and thumbs as the juices from the well cooked meat drips on his fingers, he looks up to see the king staring at him and realises that Now they had two different sets of sandwiches. His was more meaty and juices resembling a burger and the king was like a midnight snack. Not to mention his was large and the king's was medium small.
Enrique looks away feeling conscious, he then looks down to see the baby staring at the side of his mouth drooling.
Enrique wonders why he is staring? He doesn't have any teeth!
The king chuckles, "what an appetising looking meal" he compliments.
"I'm not sharing," Enrique replies with sharp eyes.
The king pauses then blinks twice, "I didn't ask"
"Then why are you staring?"
"Because it looks appetising"
"And I said I'm not sharing," Enrique said sternly.
"..." the king felt confused but sighed and closed his eyes admitting defeat to whatever battle he was fighting. "Fine you will not be sharing"
Enrique smiles as he goes back to biting the sandwich, the king leans his elbow against the table as he watches the queen happily eat his sandwich.
'Cute'
The king subconsciously licks the side of his lips looking at the queen eating, soon the baby who was staring at Enrique's eyes begins to shake then…
"WOAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
The king looks at the side into the stroller then takes up the young baby in his arms.
"How is a creature so small as you make such a loud noise?" the king said, trying to hush the weeping child.
The baby was looking at Enrique crying loudly, Enrique looked at the baby looking at him then looked back at him looking back at him.
Enrique puts the sandwich to bite again but the crying just gets louder, he puts it aways as the child quiets down but the moment he puts it back near his mouth he gets louder.
Enrique feels offended he puts the sandwich down then points. "You're being unfair, no one cries when you eat!"
This led the little prince to wail uncontrollably, the king felt ansy as he took his toy from the stroller to help him calm down. Enrique feels guilty and walks over to the king.
"Give him to me" he asks, sighing.
The king looks at him, "you have not finish your lunch, no need to I'll take care of him"
"No worries, you haven't done yours besides we are a team" Enrique said, taking the baby from his arms.
"But you have him for most part of the day I believe it is only fair I let you enjoy lunch"
"Even if you want that, little Leslie doesn't, hehe" Enrique chuckles.
The king smiles and chuckles, but pauses when he sees the queen pulling his shirt he glares at the guards surrounding them who looks away.
"Why do you sit while you feed, it must be uncomfortable standing," the king offers
"Right I wi–"
Enrique was surprised when the king took him in his lap to sit. Processing it he blushes realising he is sitting in the king's lap quite comfortably as the little prince breastfeeds.
He blushes and realises how close their faces are, the king rests the side of his head on his chest, shushing him gently in his lap.
"Is it not more comfortable this way?" The king said smoothly.
Enrique was in awe, it's not about comfort it's about the fact he might go blind if he looks up. His baby was beautiful but his baby looks like him. He was breathtakingly beautiful of course but this king possesses a beauty that should be behind blindfolds. The forbidden essence.
Though his son was beautiful, the fact that he saw his squishy and ugly appearance since birth kinda made him immune but to him his baby was the most beautiful in the world but objectively speaking. The king was shiny.
Soon Enrique looks down to a cooing child sleeping while still attached to his nipple.
"So cute, teehee!"
A/n
How do you like the mc?
After lunch the king escorts Enrique and the baby back to the nursery.
After resting in the nursery Enrique had the nanny watch him, while he went to the queen's office he wanted to learn more about the previous owner.
He didn't investigate much before because he was not interested but seeing as how the king was easy to sway he can't help but feel complicated at his ignorance. Looking at the desk he saw a crystal orb that must be one of the magic artefacts. Enrique learns that this era is run by magic and artefacts. Interestingly enough this place has a train but not cars it has guns but not gunpowder.
Mana is the main usage in this kingdom and is known for being one of the most modern kingdoms. But to Enrique this was not impressive, his from a world of iPhones so this civilization could only scratch the surface of it's full potential.
So currently the original host is 24 and the king is also 24. They have been married for 10 years!
Enrique holds the bridge of his nose putting back the book down. He opens the drawer looking at pictures inside, the fact they were married while just entering their adolescent period didn't sit well with him.
He heard that it was like this in victorian periods and mediaeval times but will he have let his son engage so early?
This world custom is foreign compared to his but having his child marry young. Soon the crystal orb begins to shine. Enrique tilts his head confused about how to answer it and so he randomly places his hand on it before a face of a man pops up on screen.
The man had short hair, it was a bit wavy with bright sky blue eyes, his tone was fair, his lips were a slightly peach colour with thick eyebrows that frowned at him.
"Why were you not answering?! I've been contacting you for weeks?!"
Unconsciously Enrique feels intimidated; he doesn't know why but fears this person.
"I was busy..." Enrique slightly answers.
"..."
The man looks at him taking a long pause before continuing, "what gender is it?"
'Hi, how are you? How's it been? Not even that who was this person'
"How have you been?" Enrique inquires.
The man straighten looking at him, "... I have been fine! Now what gender is it?"
"Yes I am okay, I've managed to survive that great endeavour"
The man looks at him filled with annoyance. "Ishley Emmet Raynier Queen of Odessa, 4th son of Marquis Rergis Erhard Siegal destined mate of King Astolpho Evaniya Raynier Mother of the first son of this kingdom WHAT GENDER IS IT?!"
"Oop"
"What?!" The man asked, startled.
"His name is Astolpho," Enrique said, touching his lips.
"Huh?"
Enrique smiles, then chuckles. "Why are you asking what gender, when you already know?"
The man looks at him in disbelief, "I meant the second gender!"
"My son is a hermaphrodite?" Enrique looks at him confused.
The room went silent as the man looked at him weirdly, "have the labour made you gone stupid! What is that? What gibberish are you talking about?! you bird brain brat what's the second gender are you a neanderthal to not know what I mean by second gender? Did you go retarded after receiving your son!"
Enrique feels his ego fall, why does this remind him of his father. He wonders if there is a hang up button. This man is too vicious.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Your majesty, his highness, is awake" the maid said from beyond the door.
Enrique feels relief, "got to go"
"Wait a minute! This ungrateful child! Ishley!"
Enrique walks away happily to meet his little cute son but on the way he saw something ahead of him.
Uther was backed in a corner with a man holding his waist while smiling at him promiscuously, Uther was very visibly uncomfortable as he looks down.
Enrique could feel an uncomfortable shiver down his spine as he smells something foul in the air.
"It seems like doctor Uther is getting harass again" the maid sighs.
"Again?"
"Well it's something natural for omegas in general to go through but recessive on the other hand experience it a lot more"
Enrique puffs then stomps over to the knight, "Hey you!"
The knight was ready to curse the person who disturbs him but the moment he did he was kicked in the nut sack, he fell to the ground weeping while holding
"Scumbag pervert!" Enrique yelled folding his arms. He then turns to Uther. "If anyone harassed you do this then come to me I will back you"
Uther looks at him as his eyes lights up and chuckles. "Yes, your majesty"
A/n
Meme hehe
Later around bedtime, Enrique returns to the master bedroom with their son, he puts him on the bed where the king walks from the library corner then sits next to them.
"Astolpho…"
The king looks at him, this was the first time he heard his name being called from the queen's mouth and he must say he likes it, "Ishley" the king smiles.
'That's not my name but it still sounds nice coming from your mouth'
"Astello"
"Hmm?"
"Astello Leslie Raynier, that's our son's name"
"How nice, our child Astello" Astolpho gently brushes the crown of the baby.
Enrique smiles as he kisses his baby who smiles snuggling. "Aww too cute"
Astolpho smiles as he stretches hands across hugging the two, later that night at the baby crying he gets up ready but when he sees that Enrique was getting up as well he was confused.
"It's my night," Enrique smiles.
Astolpho was confused but he watches as Enrique gently picks up the crying while trying to hush him. He walks over to the bottle then turns to Astolpho "can you come heat the water?" Enrique asks
Astolpho smiles getting up and walks over heating the water, with Enrique instructions he stops then starts making the formula.
"Stop, too much, he'll have a hard time pooping if you make it so thick" he advised.
Astolpho read about that, he tested the back of his skin to find the right temperature. He reads that the baby's body temperature was different and it's something that needs to be careful with.
It's no wonder he failed so terribly yesterday.
He gives Enrique the bottle and passes a chair allowing the mother to sit, he goes to look for the baby toy then walks over to the baby shaking the bear and moving it. The baby fingers folds in and out as he sucks on the bottle while staring at the bear.
Astolpho smiles and finds it funny how his cheeks just moved so vibrantly.
He finds his shiny aqua eyes beautiful, yet so innocent it's times like these Astolpho where the baby was born in a simple family where his only worries are being healthy and being happy. No running a kingdom, no schemes, no fighting or assassination attempts, just simple struggles.
Looking at his wife, he kisses him on the temple, startling him. Enrique looks at him.
"Why do you kiss me?"
"Am I not allowed to?" Astolpho asks, confused.
"It's not that, but didn't we hate each other? It just feels weird" Enrique said, looking at the baby.
"Well it feels more natural now than before if I'm being honest," Astolpho said.
Enrique looks confused. "I don't understand"
"Before we were always told we were destined for each other and were forced to be with each other. Back then I didn't feel anything towards you no love no bond no nothing despite me marking you. But now it feels different, natural somehow maybe it's because of the influence of our child?" Astolpho seems genuinely confused but he was not bothered.
'Or maybe because I'm transmigrated'
Enrique doesn't know this destined mate thing or mark he barely knows anything even about these alpha, beta and omega. Everything here just feels all surreal like reading a made up story of an amateur writer.
Astolpho chuckles, "don't look so worried, I'm sure it's finally time for us to start developing some type of feelings towards each other" he said.
Enrique bit his lips wanting to differ, this man has no idea that 'his' Queen is gone and a new person is here a stranger. But not wanting to be accused of being a demon he lets it go.
After burping the baby he hushs him to sleep then goes on the bed to sleep himself. Astolpho smiles at the two lovely figures before going to rest himself and naturally an hour or so later it was the crying child who picks up the baby then uses his one hand to let his queen rest without waking as he went and changed his baby diapers.
"Now that's a good husband," Enrique mutters in his sleep.
Astolpho chuckles gently as the baby observes his expression, Astolpho smiles at the little watchful eyes. "Your mother is very funny you know"
The baby smiles as if he understood what Astolpho said then raises his hand swaying as if he couldn't control it.
Astolpho picks him up, carrying him to a chair next to the bookshelf where he takes out a children's book ready to read.
"Once upon time…."
The next day bright and early Astolpho and Enrique get up, calling the maids in their bedroom to prepare themselves for the special day.
Though the preparations took over four hours they finally got done, looking into the body mirror he can't help but feel overwhelmed by his beauty.
The usually straight golden blond hair was now wavy and curly making it look natural, looking in the mirror he holds his chin and can't help but think, "I look like a chick".
The usually straight golden blond hair was now wavy and curly making it look natural, looking in the mirror he holds his chin and can't help but think, "I look like a chick"4
With the long eyelashes that flutter over his aqua blue eyes, he could get lost in them and his pair of plum red lips. He could spend all day losing himself in his one reflection and still not be satisfied. Slightly turning to get a better view.
"Wow, I didn't realise but I'm packing a lot round there"
Enrique looks at his now apparent round and firm peaches, even his waist has a little curve while it's not too obvious it's obvious enough to notice. Even though in his past life he was straight as a plain board now all his previous qualities are gone.
Turning again he leans in closer observing his face, "beautiful isn't he"
Enrique was startled when Astolpho popped up behind him smiling, Enrique felt embarrassed he wanted to jump out the window and end his life there! Enrique feels embarrassed.
Astolpho smiles, resting the small crown around his head he then takes the back of his hand putting it near his lips then begins to speak. "May the Goddess Hysteria bless you with eternal youth and beauty, may you be healthy for years to come, may your reign be forever as you shower us with your wisdom, praise the mother Goddess Hysteria".
Astolpho then lays a gentle kiss on the back of his palms causing Enrique to blush. Astolpho smiles, turning him back to the mirror.
Enrique can't help but think he looks rich, his clothes had literal real gold and diamonds, not to mention pearls
Enrique can't help but think he looks rich, his clothes had literal real gold and diamonds, not to mention pearls. And the white texture looks gorgeous. Seeing Astolpho behind him he can't help but wanting to faint such beauty will blind him! He hurriedly looks away.
Seeing Astolpho behind him he can't help but wanting to faint such beauty will blind him! He hurriedly looks away
"We should get going!"
Astolpho nods then gently takes his arms, "Shall we go now?"
Enrique smiles while walking with him outside the meeting in the throne room. They take their baby from the nanny, then head for the exit to the carriage.
Enrique smiles as he looks at his baby who is clenching his pinky tightly as his beautiful aqua eyes stare at his mom.
Astolpho smiles looking at Enrique with a pleasing expression.
Enrique looks up through the window. The carriage was a long drive and for the most part they were seeing pretty trees and lovely surroundings.
"When he is a little bigger we should take him out, like parks and fun places" Enrique suggests.
"I am very sceptical of doing such things nor will I discuss it on a carriage in an open area" Astolpho said.
"Huh?" Enrique said,
Astolpho rested his hand on his knees, "when we are home and alone it will be more appropriate" he said casually.
Enrique is confused but seeing that Astolpho isn't completely right rejecting the idea then maybe they can discuss it later.
The carriage ride had taken about an hour and half to finally reach the church in the capital city of Orentina.
Orientina was a big and crowded place, yet very beautiful. Enrique could tell that people love their ruler very much because as soon as they see the carriage drives by they all clap, cheer and bow at it, he looks at Astolpho looking at them through the window.
"Aren't you beloved by your people" Enrique gestures
Astolpho looks at him, "is it not our people my Queen" he corrects
Enrique went quiet, he is not the original so it's completely different for him. Seeing that the Queen went quiet Astolpho sighs.
"We are almost there, it seems he is already sleeping"
"Well he only has three duties to fulfil, eat poop and sleep" Enrique chuckles.
Astolpho chuckles, "let's not forget, giving us a hard time"
"But it is joyous" Enrique smiles
"I can wholeheartedly agree to that"
Reaching into the lands of the holy place until it reaches the entrance. The footman opens the door for the royal family as Astolpho allows Enrique to exit then follows behind.
Walking inside the large and spacious building Enrique can't help but be mesmerised by its beauty and decoration.
"Wow, a lot of money must have gone into this, why is a church so luxurious?" Enrique asks.
"Well, the church has many functions. It's also a place where you can find your mate. You can stay here if you're homeless and it will aid you until you find accommodations on your own. It also takes care of children and works as a school for the young ones" Astolpho explains.
Enrique looks at him, in his world churches are somewhat like that but more tone down. There is Sunday school and you can't really use it as a homeless shelter.
"The church must be popular," he said.
"Yes, though I'm not deep in the religious aspects, I do believe in the mother Goddess Hysteria. You can say I admire her will for peace but some things I don't like about her beliefs, otherwise from those she plays the mother role well" Astolpho smiles.
Enrique looks at him, he is on the atheist side but his mind is not close off to be curious about religion and mythology. He likes the story telling though.
"Could you tell me more about what you like about her?" Enrique asks
"I like that she protects her people, gods cannot intervene in the lives of men but through her protection and the people's prayers Odessa has been blessed with flourishing crops and riches beyond imagination once a country that was desolate and forgotten listening to the prayers of the people who gathered escape from the Eathnam kingdom, birthed a land to protect the people and she said "give me love and I shall give you hope and prosperity as long as one person loves me I shall give you all my love". She stuck by her words, now within this country she is beloved." Astolpho stops when they now enter the main room where the pope stood on the podium.
"Your Majesty, king Astolpho Evaniya Raynier, it's a pleasure" the pope smiles.
"Certainly not mind," Astolpho gave a fake smile.
The pope puts his hand at his back walking towards them with a smile, Enrique looks at the pope carefully from top to bottom observing.
"Your majesty, you came on such a short notice why not make it an official event like your previous predecessors?" The pope smiles.
"They are previous for a reason, why would I put my child on display in front of thousands of people?" He asked rhetorically.
The pope nods, "I see, well I guess we shall proceed with the process"
"Wait, you have yet to acknowledge my mate" Astolpho said, with his lip twitching.
The pope pauses for a minute then turns and looks at Enrique, he composes himself then slightly bows. "My apologies, your majesty"
Enrique nods, "it's okay".
Actually for a moment he forgot he was here as well, he was so invested in the conversation. The pope nods "Well shall we go"
The family nods as they follow the lead of the pope into a large open room, the nuns gather then bows.
"Greetings your majesties and holy ship"
"Has everything been prepared?" The pope asked
"Yes," The nuns answered.
"Then we begin," the pope gently turned to Enrique and stretched his arms. "May I, your majesty?"
Enrique looked at his baby, he gave him a big kiss on his temple then hesitantly offered the baby. The pope smiles at the young baby.
"He's filled with life, he has a bright future ahead of him" the pope said.
"Yes, he does"
Walking over to the tub that was placed on a table he gave the baby to a nun who changed the baby into white and gold garments then gave him back to the pope.
"Your majesties hands"
Astolpho gently takes Enrique's hand, as he slowly walks the table he then speaks in a low tone to Enrique. "The nun will deliver us a dagger from that dagger you shall prick my finger and drop a few droplets of blood into the water and I shall do the same" Astolpho explains gently.
Enrique smiles, it was a good thing he explained or he would be terrified and clueless.
Just as Astolpho had said a nun had offered the dagger then had their fingers pricked and droplets in the water. The pope puts the religious sign on the baby's chest, Astolpho took Enrique's pricked hands then sank it beneath the water bottom. Enrique looks at Astolpho confused but he smiles then mouths "trust me" then smiles.
Enrique felt a slight tickling feeling in his chest then the pope began.
"Here is a union blessed by the holy mother and guardian of Odessa, from this union is a new blessing and spring of life given to us by the mother deity of this kingdom, Hysteria. May this child be blessed with happiness, prosperity and wisdom. May the mother Goddess bless and protect you for years to come, may you give hope to the the next generation to and shine light on their paths, praise from the mother Goddess Hysteria"
The pope slowly and carefully sank the baby into the water until his entire face was engulfed, Enrique felt terrified and was ready to break loose but suddenly he felt his hand rasen from beneath the water raising the baby as well. It wasn't long that the baby spent underwater, 2 seconds at best but it was a terrifying two seconds.
The pope smiles, taking the child and passing him into Enrique's arms. The pope rests his cross on the child's crown. "Welcome to our world, may the Goddess Hysteria protect you"
For some strange reason he felt the pope was not only talking about his baby, but maybe he was reading too much into things.
"Congratulations your majesties, he is a dominant omega" the pope smiles. "Shall I proceed with preparations on finding hi–"
"No, that's all"
The pope half opens his eyes, "your majesty, it's–"
"I have spoken," Astolpho said sternly.
Enrique was confused by the change in his tone and wondered what's the matter. But he didn't ask in the end.
Uther was sitting in his office reading some books when there was a knock on the door. He places the book on the table then gets up and goes to open it.
"Yes?" He inquires
He looks up at the larger male with hands behind him who now looks down at him. "Good afternoon"
"Good afternoon, do you need anything?" Uther fixes his glasses.
"Yes, please" Charmin answers politely
Uther moves aside to let him in, since he is now a royal doctor thanks to the queen he won't be needing to return to hospital. Which was convenient for him.
The male walks over to the table and long chair with a paper bag and rests it on the table sitting in the long chair. Uther fixes his glasses walking over to the Alpha male then sits opposite to him facing him. "What seems to be the problem"
"I've been having frequent headaches of lately and difficult sleeping despite being very tired" 1
"I've been having frequent headaches of lately and difficult sleeping despite being very tired"
Uther nods, "I shall do an appraisal"
"Wait!" Charmin utters.
Uther pauses looking at him confused.
"How about not using magic it's pointless, try testing me physically"
Uther brows furrows, was this alpha trying to flirt with him? It's very inappropriate to ask such a question.
"I know I'm being inappropriate, but so far I've been healed six times and the headache still comes back. They said nothing is wrong with me but if you can help," Charmin said. "I've heard you're an eccentric who prefers to study the human body, I will allow it as long as you help me" Charmin offers, crossing his legs.
Uther looks at him, he thinks the offer is tempting but this is the king's secretary his speaking to if anything happens to him he could end up in deep trouble.
"How about I heal you for today, and if the headache comes back I'll consider it" Uther said.
Charmin nods, Uther walks over, raising his palm as it glows a light green.
"Is it better now?"
Charmin nods slowly, he then takes up the paper bag and Uther looks at him confused.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm about to have lunch" Charmin answers
"In my office?" Uther asks, confused.
"You don't mind? I often get disturbed during this time so I was thinking of hiding here for the time being" Charmin explains.
Uther didn't like alphas' being in his space; he has too much experience with their types to not be wary of his comfort zone.
Charmin slowly takes out a large close dish as he opens the sweet aroma of lemon cake fills the air resulting in a tummy grumble from Uther. He looks away embarrassed.
"It seems, that I need to have lunch"
"I don't mind sharing, I have enough for two," Charmin said.
Then Uther realised he did have enough for two but was this a plot to let his guard down so he can take advantage of him?
Seeing the scepticism on Uther's he dug the fork in both sides of the cake taking a bit of each piece."I know it must seem shady to you but I want you to know I have no such ulterior motives. I'm waiting for my mate" he smiles.
Uther was still sceptical but he went to the cupboard and took out a plate and tea set, "I'll make some tea"
Charmin smiles politely, "would be nice"
Within the carriage, Enrique looks at Astolpho who has yet to say anything since leaving the church he wonders what was the pope going to say but he couldn't ask as there was this strange tension within the air.
"Um, so…"
Astolpho sighs a bit frustrated. "I'm sorry for my coldness Queen, I'm a bit tense at the moment"
"I can see that, is there a problem?" Enrique asks.
"No not really, just about an old tradition… I think my family will be visiting in a few days. Please do not engage in conversation with them with my absent presence." He asked politely.
"Is there a problem?" Enrique asks.
"I'm just saying this, please trust me on this" Astolpho asked.
"You know, if we are going to be a couple, communication is best with vague conversations like this. It could lead to Assumptions, Miscommunication and Misunderstanding. I didn't sign up for a dog blood plot" Enrique said.
Astolpho raises a brow, "what?"
"I'm saying you should tell me before it leads to major problems and misery on both sides" Enrique said.
Astolpho smiles, "Queen Ishley, you are so very interesting. It will be a topic we will have discuss in the future but for now"
He places his hand on their child, "let's focus on making a happy environment for him. He is a baby now" Astolpho said.
Enrique nods, he looks at Astolpho's peach lips subconsciously licks his own. He can't help but wonder…
"Do you want to kiss me?"
"What?"
"Your eyes are always wandering off to my lips" Astolpho teases.
Enrique blushes embarrassed, "that's a lie,"
Astolpho leans in holding his chin gently moving his lips closer to Enrique's. "Don't worry I am your husband and what's mine is yours after all, I read that physical and intimate affection can makes a couples grow stronger don't you think it's only natural we tried"
Enrique's heart was racing, their lips were only inches away from touching, he wasn't ready but then again they would have to eventually go further than this. But the lips of his curiosity!
Astolpho smirks, then pulls back, "I was just kidding," he jokes.
"You mother fucker!" Enrique curses.
Astolpho was annoyed real quick, he gritted his teeth then retorted back. "You're the only mother who I ever fucked"
Enrique was too stunned to speak.
Astolpho was in his office completing his royal duties. Suddenly a memory came across his mind..
He could remember the way in which Ishley was being bashful after his comment, he can still see the tinge of red flush against his cheeks as he tries to swallow the embarrassment. He can remember the two weeks in which they watched over their son together. The little critter was noisy and needy but he is ever so lovely, Astolpho has been finding himself looking for these hardly sleep full nights and the lovely morning of waking up to see Ishley and Leslie next him.
Astolpho rests his chin on his hand smiling as he chuckles at the memories. Charmin clears his throat.
"Why don't you take a break, your majesty?" Charmin asks.
"Hm?" Astolpho looks at him.
"I think you should take an early break today, spends some time with his majesty and his highness" Charmin said, "before you never seem interested in spending time with your mate now it's difficult, his highness really changed you both for the better"
Astolpho draws his chair back moving from out the chair then walks around touching Charmin's shoulder. "It wasn't the baby that changed our relationship" Astolpho corrects him as he walks to the door.
"Then what?"
Astolpho smiles, "who knows" he answers vaguely as he walks through the door and closes it leaving Charmin confused.
Enrique is in the nursery sitting in the chair with knees up and the baby rests across giggling, he is playing with him. He chuckles seeing the baby chuckles. Enrique can't help but think his baby is growing too fast. He is already three months old and it won't be long until he eats baby food, then grows teeth.
"Bubu… Agu"
"Aww! I love you too,"
The baby smiles as his little arms stretch for Enrique, swaying his tiny arms about, Enrique puts his face between the tiny arms rubbing nose as his tiny arms hold Enrique's face.
"Hehehe"
Leslie pauses, he too starts to giggle showing his pink gums both mother and son start to laugh for no reason until Leslie starts to tap Enrique's face. Enrique pulls back holding his arms then smiles.
"What song shall I sing… hmm. Ah! I've learn this song from a giant cockroach and a lady"
Leslie was ready to smile again but paused for a moment, his eyes staring at his mother blankly.
(Leslie: 👄 )
Enrique licks his lips.
"She's resplendent, so confident
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
I realise, I'm hypnotised
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
I hear the moon singing a tune
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
Is she divine, Is it the wine
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine…"
Astolpho who was near the doors of the nursery smiles hearing the song, he quietly opens the door seeing Enrique sitting in the chair barefoot with baby in his lap. He looks around at the maids who quietly bow, he is thinking of bringing a piano in this room.
He didn't know what song Enrique is singing but it sounds quite lovely. Soon Leslie turns his head upon smelling his father and chuckles, Enrique turns and smiles as well.
Astolpho walks over, Enrique gets up and puts on the bed slippers. He can't bother to dress everyday he has to dress up and decorate himself like a Christmas tree, he's literally in his own house and it's not a special occasion.
Enrique passes the baby to Astolpho, Leslie smiles looking up at his father with bright eyes and facing up as if waiting.
"Good afternoon, Leslie, Queen"
Enrique smiles, "good afternoon, your back early"
"Yes, I took an early–"
Before he could finish his sentence he receives a slap on his mouth from Leslie, he looks down at the little pouty face.
"What?"
"Buu!…"
Astolpho looks at Enrique as if asking for answers. Enrique looks at the baby, who is looking at his father as if has been wronged by him.
"Que–"
Again the little one slapped him on the lip, this time he didn't stop, soon the baby was on the verge of tears.
Enrique, who was thinking, then snaps his fingers. "Ah!"
"What?" Astolpho was in a panic he could already see the volcano preparing to erupt.
"Where are his kisses?"
"What?!"
"He needs his papa's greeting kisses"
Astolpho was at loss for words, but looking at the tearful eyes he went and kissed the soft baby cheek. Leslie chuckles, Astolpho is amazed then he lifts him over his head then looks at him.
"You are a very bold baby, daring to hit a king"
Leslie tilts head.
"I'm very proud," he said, dropping him back into his arms, and tickling his tummy, causing the baby to laugh.
Enrique smiles, and wonders if he could have children in his past life…
Would it have been like this?
