At that time, Endymion said that he had two things, one was holy power and the other was a forgotten memory of the past.
"I'm surprised that I learned so much. The black wolves were definitely twisting my life at will..."
Did this marriage have to take place? Did the god Dunamis arrange it?
Somehow, the word fate came to her mind clearly.
'Do I really need to pray to the gods in the temple and ask them?'
Julia was dumbfounded, but overwhelmed, and she clasped her hands together.
"Oh, and this is also important. When a mage first awakens, their magiv power is the strongest, and it's like a gust of wind. But the Queen wore a suppression ring at that time by the work of the black wolves, and the magic power was away."
"Overflow? I didn't know anything about it, did I?"
Julia opened her mouth slightly in surprise. Anna parted the back of her hand and quickly explained.
"That's right. Even the Lord of the Tower didn't know about the existence of the Queen's high-level magical power. The overflowing surge of life magie brought about a strange harvest of Ametrine at that time. To release the suppressed magic, they drew life force from all over the continent."
"What? Wait, then what about the famine that appeared in another country at that time?"
Julia's heart sank. When her face turned into contemplation, Anna waved her hand urgently
"No, it doesn't. It's magic that the Black Wolves have manipulated to empower the oracle! Like Cheryl's recent incident. At the same time, they suppressed the Queen's magic with the ring, and coincidentally, there was a severe harvest and famine at the same time."
So don't blame yourself, Anna urged. It was all because the Black Wolves were trying to control Julia, Endymion, and the continent in the first place.
"Anyway, now that we've almost wiped out the black wolves, this won't happen in the future. Besides, the Queen's overflowing magic perfectly satisfies His Majesty's divine power!"
Anna assured her that as long as they were together, the power would no longer dangerously suck in other life.
"Besides, the Queen has so much magic that you need to use magic constantly to be safe. If you're with His Majesty, you don't have to worry about anything, so it's very good."
"Oh my God... I can't believe it."
At this point, it was a lucky thing that can only be described as a miracle. Julia was so surprised that she even felt a little dizzy.
'The reason why I was rumored to be the favored son of the gods was because of a fabricated oracle.'
It seemed to be real when the situation was like this. However, considering that she was born as a rare high-ranking mage, it doesn't seem to be entirely wrong.
'Should I make a donation to thank God?'
Julia breathed a sigh of relief and thought jokingly.
Anna promised to send her a detailed document soon. Julia thanked her and carefully spoke again.
"Well, what if? Isn't it dangerous if my magic power is not stably supplied to His Majesty?"
Of course, they will be together, but there may be unforeseen accidents.
It was fine for a few days, but it could have been forced to drop for months. After all, they both have a lot of work to do.
In that case, wouldn't Endymion's divine power destroy his body or take away the lives around him?
Julia pointed out worriedly, and Anna, who was listening, grinned.
"That's why I was just going to tell you. The perfect solution to prevent that."
"What's that?!"
It's perfect, Julla, who didn't want to be anxious anymore, asked happily. Anna replied coldly, as if she had been waiting.
"It's your child. If you receive divine power from the paternal line and magic power from the maternal line, it will be perfectly neutralized! His Majesty will have the effect of cutting off the power of divinity, and the Queen will have an heir to pass on the magical power."
Anna explained that her specialty was magic fusion. Based on the data accumulated over nearly a hundred years of life.
"In fact, it would have been better if the apparitions had done the same. However, due to the nature of taking the opponent's life, they all died without having an heir. So it could never be released, and the strong divine power was inherited through the system."
"Perhaps, if so... Can we stop doing that?"
"In theory, yes."
Julia's quick guess was answered by Anna in the affirmative. Julia's worried face lit up brightly.
"You're still young, so don't worry too much about having a child. Have you had a lot of work during that time? If you take it easy and take a break, it will happen quickly."
Anna encouraged Julia as she wrapped up the long interview. Julia smiled and thanked her.
"We have dinner together at the Queen's Palace. I want to thank you for your hard work, but will you accept it?"
"Of course, the day when I will return to the Tower is not far away, so in the meantime, I will enjoy the world a little like Boris."
Anna was much more reserved than when they first met. Julia burst out laughing brightly and stood up, saying that she would go to the Queen's palace first.
"Then, really, magic and holy power are not a problem for pregnancy, right?"
"Of course. I swear by my lab and Boris!"
Anna finished the paperwork and boasted. Julia chuckled and walked out the door. Then, she added a word to her heart-pounding regret.
"Oh, there. Then, when will I have a child?"
"Hmm. That's something Your Majesty will try harder. If you ask me, who has been unmarried for a hundred years, I don't know. If you're embarrassed and want me to talk to him instead...."
"Yes? No! Never! See you later!"
Kung.
Julia, who had escaped from the blatant prank, returned to the Queen's palace with a cool red face.
'Oh, all the people in the tower are mischievous.'
Still, she was happy that she had solved her problem, and Julia's face smiled. Although she was trying to maintain the dignity of the Queen, she had a calm expression.
'When everything is settled, I should ask him to go on vacation to the villa. Please rest in peace.'
By the way, try harder. How much more do I have to do?
Julia was immersed in a new question.
'I still fall asleep late in the morning... Or maybe my physical strength is weak?'
Julia thought seriously. If she had more stamina, she wouldn't pass out, leaving Endy mion, who was always thirsty, alone.
'I haven't been exercising much lately. I should start horseback riding.'
Julia has been busy with the establishment of a new academy for wizards. As a result, her physical strength was depleted quickly, and lately, when the bed heated up more than three times, it was difficult to keep up.
Unlike before, her body felt a little heavy, and she felt like she wasn't getting enough sleep.
Julia, who had been checking her condition for the past few days, finally made up her mind. She's sure she's been sitting in front of her desk for so long lately that she's become weaker.
"I've been getting tired a lot lately. So I need to build up my stamina. I have to go horseback riding, so please organize my schedule."
"Yes, my Queen."
***
"Ed, is it delicious?"
"Yes!"
It's 1 p.m. on a sunny day. The sunniest room in the Queen's Palace.
Queen Julia and Prince Hyde had a snack time. The elegant and gentle beauty and the innocent child created a warm atmosphere just by their presence.
"...So, Edgar asked Lina to play with him, and he said no."
"Really? Wasn't Lady Lina busy that day?"
Julia, who tilted her chin, replied earnestly at the child's eye level.
"No, I don't."
Then Ed, who was pretending to be an adult who was about to become an older brother, said seriously.
"Lina says, but Ed isn't my type."
"My... Type?"
Julia tilted her head and said. "Ah!" She laughed.
"Ed, are you talking about your ideal type?"
"Hmph, yes."
His little face was quite serious.
'Cute! Did you learn the word ideal type?'
Julia looked at Ed with a look that made her want to bite him and asked him affectionately.
"Hmm. What kind of young Lady Ed likes?"
It's a love story for cute little kids. Julia was so bold that Ed, who was still a baby in her eyes, that the corners of her mouth went up endlessly.
"Well, so... Edgar... I did, Your Majesty!"
"Huh, did you? Then next time, give me a bouquet instead of cookies..."
Julia was a snack and advice, and she soothed him. Then, Ed, who was depressed because he was rejected by the little Young lady, quickly became active as usual.
"Ed is so tired of Your Majesty!"
"Oh my God. Lina, if she hears it, she might misunderstand, right?"
Julia playfully teased. Ed grinned, stood up, and hugged Julia's waist.
"It's okay. Ed type is Your Majesty!"
It was a charming word. In the end, Julia, who was moved, chuckled and hugged Ed.
"Thank you. Edgar is also my ideal type."
"Really?"
"Yes. I really like people who are bright and pretty and smile well."
"Hehe. And Ed wants to marry later!"
"Wow. Do you know the word marriage?"
The handmaidens also laughed at the warm appearance of the two of them. It was a gentle and lovely landscape, a picturesque scene.
"There was His Majesty."
"Yes?"
Then, with the sound of footsteps, Endymion appeared.
"Welcome, Your Majesty. Ed! Why are you so surprised?"
"Oh, hello."
Ed was surprised by Endymion's sudden appearance and bowed his belly.
"Ed? Don't be so nervous. He's your uncle."
"Yes, but. Because I tell you."
"Fuhoot."
"Your master, the Duchess, was looking for me. You'd better go to the Princess' palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Half curious and half nervous, Ed glanced at Endymion and quickly ran outside. Julin looked at him happily.
"How could our Ed be so pretty? Just looking at him makes me feel good."
"...Because he smiles brightly and well?"
"Hmm. Isn't he really lovely?"
Julia rested her chin and said brightly. Endymion was silent for a moment. But before Julia noticed, she immediately raised her teacup and nodded.
"Oh! I decided to go to the Princess's palace for dinner today. My sister said she wanted to buy something before giving birth, so I'm going to look at the catalogue together."
"Yes. Don't be too late."
The King and his wife had a peaceful afternoon tea time.
A few hours later, it's time for dinner.
Julia went to the Princess's palace, and Endymion was left alone for some time.
He put a random mirror on his desk in his office.
"..."
There was a sculptural face on the transparent surface. Even though she had been married for more than 10 years, she still had a flower-like beauty that the maids were eagerly staring at, but she felt an innate coldness.
Endymion stared into the mirror, expressionless but serious.
"...Is a person who smiles brightly the ideal type?"
