Irit.

The childs eyes gazed at his eyes with that call. Could you even recognize your dad? The child smiled as he saw the sun was too bright.

He just didnt know why the baby was laughing. The corners of Ravens mouth drew up even at the strange flirty sight of his child who was without a morning sleep.

Oh, oh~

His hand, which was holding the childs head while babbling clumsily, eventually turned cautious.

Black hairvivid features that werent really childlike. People had said that he looked like the Duke himself, but he didnt think so.

Raven instantly found Molitia in his childs appearance. His soft cheeks, which seemed to be wrapped around his hands and his white skin that was just like the pear flower, were all too similar to her.

His fingers slowly swept over the childs cheek. A smoothness as if he was touching silk had passed by his hand.

The childs mouth pouted when he tapped against his cheek. Soon enough, just like he was trying to fill his empty hand, the child turned around and put his hand around Ravens finger.

Raven.

He felt as if he could hear her voice faintly in his ears. Irit reminded him greatly of Molitia. The loveliness had even resembled the stiffness in the chest as well. Raven then drew upon a soft smile.

Goo

The childs hand, which was fiddling with Ravens, proceeded to touch his sleeve. The childs eyes didnt pull away from the button, making him wonder if it was interesting to see that small symbol of the Duke of Linerios family.

Is this amazing?

Ah!

The childs eyes had also moved as he waved the button. The figure slowly reminded him of a small animal.

Im afraid not.

It was a button that had gone far too many places. If it was within his reach, it wasnt likely the child would instantly put it in his mouth.

Ah, ah!

He reached out his hand greedily, but Raven managed to avoid it. It had almost touched. The childs face began to writhe when he seemed to have it but just couldnt.

Wahhh!

The child, who didnt cry amidst the morning sun, immediately burst into tears. The nanny, who was watching nervously beside him, quickly embraced the child, but he didnt even think of stopping his cries easily.

How comfortable it must have been. Eventually, the child stopped crying after holding a toy that was similar to a button in his hand. The child smiled happily even though his eyes were still red with his tears of greed.

Youre stubborn.

Who did he look like? As he chuckled in vain, Raven hugged Irit again. Whenever the child cried loudly, the child would smile again at his fathers little pats.

The weight hanging on the shoulder while babbling away with his tiny lips had been too small. Sometimes, it was so soft that he thought he might just crush the baby with his hands.

Whenever he felt the warmth tinged in his heart, it was simply amazing. To have steadily grown day by day, seemed to be the perfect words for the child.

Duke, slowly

When the butler informed him of the time, he walked with the child in his arms. Whenever the child shook stably, the childs messy hair would whiff of milk.

The place where he opened the door and entered was a room with warm sunlight. Under the strong sunshine, the child slowly dug into Ravens arms.

He patted the childs head and continued taking a step forward. He bowed his head as he carefully rolled up the veil over the bed.

Molitia.

The eyelids, which had been tightly closed with such sweetness, trembled. A pair of purple eyes that had been as beautiful as a child eventually revealed themselves to the world.

Waa!

Irit, who recognized her mother, instantly burst into laughter. When he struggled and began reaching for his mother, Molitia quickly held him.

Did you sleep well, Irit?

Her white hand slowly brushed against his red cheeks. Her folded eyes gently wrapped into a soft arch.

Looking at Molitia, who had skilfully held her child, Raven reached out and patted her cheeks instead.

Raven.

Molitia tilted her head as if she was leaning against his hand. Then, her eyes turned naturally towards him.

Although there were several difficulties after giving birth, Molitia had miraculously survived. With all that desire to live, she endured the pain in its entirety.

Molitia gave a faint smile as she felt sorry for her cheek had become hollowed for quite a long time. She couldnt control her body yet, but she would definitely overcome it as she had just done so before.

It had been a life that was predicted of death for every single day since she was young. She had been closer to death than anyone else, but she was ultimately different now.

He was always there when she opened her eyes and she was already with his child, Irit. She was absolutely thankful for a life where she could completely live for another day.

I love you.

Every morning, when Molitia opened her eyes, he would say that. And Molitia would smile affectionately.

I love you.
