My Perfect Omega - Chapter 160
Time passed quickly, and news spread throughout the Camorr Empire. A new heir had been born to the Bavenberg Duchy.
With the arrival of a son in the ducal family that previously only had Rosalie, nobles sent gifts in abundance. It was a natural reaction, given that a successor who would lead the next generation of noble society had been born.
However, the person who made the biggest fuss and noise was none other than the Emperor. Especially since the boy took after Lucas exactly, the Emperor was thrilled, reminiscing about Lucas’s childhood.
Lucas, on the other hand, had hoped the second child would resemble Leila like Rosalie, so he was a bit less enthusiastic. Nevertheless, the second child, who inherited his wife’s hair color, was equally lovable.
“Mommy, I got a reply from Zion!”
Rosalie, with a large ribbon adorning her hair, waved the letter excitedly. Leila, breastfeeding Lucian, glanced at the letter her daughter handed her.
<To the angel left on earth without wings…>
From the opening line alone, it was clear that Zion was quite a romantic child. It was hard to believe such expressions were coming from an eight-year-old.
“Zion’s funny.”
“Why?”
“He calls me an angel and sometimes says I’m more beautiful than an angel.”
“…I see, Rose.”
Leila listened to her daughter’s chatter with mixed feelings. Was her young daughter already having a boyfriend?
“And you know what, Mommy? Zion said he thought he would never see me again. So when I visited him, he was really surprised.”
“Well, anyone would be surprised if someone showed up without notice.”
“But I couldn’t help wanting to see him.”
Leila thought Rosalie’s personality was more like Lucas’s. She had a straightforward, headstrong way of pursuing what she liked.
“And now we get to send letters like this.”
There’s nothing wrong with being bold, Leila thought. While lost in her thoughts, she gently patted Lucian, who was whining in her arms.
“Is Cian sleepy, Mommy?”
“Yes, it’s about time for his nap.”
“Hehe, I love that my brother’s nickname sounds like Zion’s.”
“…Really?”
Love was something to be pursued, but as a noble young lady, she still worried. Should she teach Rosalie a bit about playing hard to get? Leila pondered this while listening to Rosalie hum.
“Hmm? What song is that?”
The melody, which Leila had never heard before, was light and cheerful, fitting her daughter perfectly. Rosalie lifted her face from the bed and smiled brightly.
“Zion made this song for me. He said he’d make an even better one next time. But I like this one just fine!”
“Indeed. It’s wonderful.”
Leila, who had been worried about her daughter, realized that Zion also liked Rosalie very much. The melody seemed to announce the start of a budding love.
At that moment, the door opened cautiously. There was only one person who could enter the Duchess and her children’s space without permission.
“My loves, all here together.”
Lucas, having finished his work, entered while loosening his cravat. He first kissed Leila on the cheek, then Rosalie, and lastly gave a quick peck to the curly-haired Lucian.
“Daddy, Zion wrote back!”
At Rosalie’s proud declaration, Lucas’s expression darkened. Leila, worried that Zion might get into trouble, gently took the letter from Rosalie’s hand and folded it.
“Rose, you and Zion should keep your conversations private. Just like how Mommy and Daddy have our own.”
“But Mommy, that’s not fair!”
“Mommy and Daddy are married. Even you can’t come between us, my little one.”
At Leila’s playful teasing, Rosalie pouted, and Lucas chuckled. Despite cherishing his children, Leila remained the most important person to Lucas.
“Our daughter, it’s true what Mommy says, even if it’s hard to accept.”
“Hmph, I have Zion, so it’s fine. Plus, I have Cian too! You and Daddy can keep loving each other!”
Rosalie’s adorable words made the two laugh. Lucas lifted Rosalie and placed her on his lap. The perfect family of an omega and alpha spent yet another peaceful day together.
