These days, Endymion has been living a very satisfying life.
The black wolves were wiped out, and the sediment was removed.
Although it was not his intention, Julia sneaked into his consciousness and freed him from the bondage of the past. Thanks to this, Endymion was freed from the mysterious anxiety that had gripped him for more than a decade.
Julia even confirmed her love for him, instead of leaving him.
'...What if you're so lovely?'
I want to eat you.
It's a big deal. When he thought about the joy he felt that morning, he still felt stiff. Endymion clicked his tongue and unbuttoned his neck.
Moreover, after learning through Anna Archon that he and Julia were mutually supportive, their relationship became more inflamed.
To be honest, as a non-mage, it didn't make sense to use divine power or magic power he understood, but he wasn't particularly Interested in it, as Julia and Anna were academically interested.
However, it was so good that they were bound together by something stronger than the institution of marriage.
So these days, Endymion was quietly fulfilling his desires, using the excuse of satisfying his divine power's demands with magical powers.
'One more time.'
'Ugh... But we've already done it twice.'
'Can't I?'
After knowing that his life depended on her magic, Julia grew weaker at his pleading
In fact, he felt good and energetic after skinship, but he seemed to think that it was more effective in controlling his divine power. Originally, she would push him away if the stimulation was so bad that she cried, but now she responds to him if he squeezes her to see if she feels weak.
Of course, It was the same to groan with his physical strength and fall asleep without even realizing it. The fact that she was getting weaker and weaker made his spine tingle.
'That's good...'
Endymion looked at the faint corners of his mouth in the mirror and frowned.
Then, why is he worried about the marital relationship, which is more intense than before? It was because of his deepened possessiveness.
Endymion looked in the mirror with a sunken face.
Of course, he didn't care about what happened with Ed earlier. He was the child Julia had loved since he was a baby. Even when he and Iris were estranged, he didn't know what to do because he was biting and sucking and being pretty just by looking at him.
'I wish you could push me to bite and suck.'
Endymion folded his arms as he pondered his obsessive imagination, which he admitted.
"I'm going to talk to you later!"
...I'm not jealous of my nephew.
It's just that he's worried. He knows that he can't say that he's someone who smiles as brightly as that child.
Of course, he knows that Julla loves him. Not only as a family member but also as a lover as before.
Doesn't he see that she is ecstatic even when he loses control every time and rushes at her like a madman? This was not a one-sided Illusion.
"I really like people who are bright and smile well."
However, he was far from the ideal type of Julia that he had heard about earlier. But why does she like him?
'Maybe it's because we've already been married?'
It's not her taste, but it's okay for her husband, so it was a big deal.
Endymion has become serious. A strange thought bloomed that was neither jealous nor worried.
If they meet by chance without knowing their faces or names. At that time, Julia fell in love with him at first sight, and he wondered if he was attractive to her.
Even in a useless family that had never done that and never did, Endymion wanted to monopolize Julia's attention.
It's not that she likes him because he's her husband, but he wants everything he does to be to her taste.
'Hmm.'
Endymion stared at the smooth surface of the mirror with a possessive look. The eyes were the same color as Ed's.
Endymion tried to copy the smile he made every time.
Stretch your lips from side to side and draw a smooth curve like a bow. Smile so that your teeth and gums can be seen naturally, and your cheeks are bright.
"...It looks like a warning of war."
The man with bloody eyes like a beast on the verge of hunting was just smiling.
Endymion muttered nervously and pressed his forehead.
Wrong. He was already cold from the start, and he couldn't smile as cheerfully and brightly as his nephew.
"I really like people who are bright and smile well."
Well, Julia told him that it was good for her, too. How can all people be the same?
To be honest, she thinks Ed is a cute boy. He resembles Iris and Duke Hyde in all their good ways, and he is full of charm. When he grows up, he will make his peers cry quite a bit. You know.
"Edgar is also my ideal type."
...Originally, the ideal type is just a romance. It is different from reality, she said that because she likes him so much, not just because she likes that kind of style.
Every night, when she kisses him and whispers that she loves him, she hangs on red, but what is her ideal type? Even if it doesn't correspond to that, he's satisfied anyway...
"How could he be so pretty? Just looking at him makes me feel good."
...I can't do it.
Endymion jerked on the bell string, and the chamberlain came right in.
"Tomorrow at noon, bring young master Hyde to the Oval Office."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When he found his nephew like never before, he seemed puzzled. Either way, Endymion had a plan in his head.
"Hmm, I'm so sleepy today..."
That night, Julia blinked sleepily and muttered. Even though Endymion kissed the nape of the neck as if he had been waiting for her as soon as she lay down.
"Can I sleep?"
Julia asked, her face already full of sleep. Endymion was so hot that his throat was burning.
To be honest, it was a foul to just sleep with such a beautiful look. But as a gentle sheep only for Julia, he had already nodded reflexively.
"Haam. Good night, mion."
Julia smiled without realizing it. She put her arms around his waist and fell asleep.
'I'm going crazy'
Endymion looked down at his wife, who was hugging her with complicated eyes.
He used to feel helpless just holding her behind her back, but now she can't help but sleep so well. Maybe it's because he's not the ideal type, but she doesn't feel nervous anymore.
'It seems like your sleep time has increased slightly over the past few days...'
Endymion, who was reading Julia's life pattern minute by minute, was lost in thought
Julia is his wife anyway, and she definitely loves him. So he knows that it doesn't matter what her ideal type is. But...
Pufft.
Suddenly, sparks flew from Endymion's eyes. He imagined that he was just laughing all the time, and that he fell in love with Julia because she was his ideal type.
'It can't be like that.'
They need to take special measures as soon as possible.
Endymion forced his unstoppable blood down. He hugged Julia as she slept and closed his eyes.

The next afternoon.
"Hello, Your Majesty..."
While playing in the garden, Ed was suddenly called in. He had secretly brought him in while Julia and Iris were chatting about choosing baby items for the soon-to-be Princess.
Endymion sat solemnly and motioned for him to come closer. Ed glanced at him and crept over him.
"Young master."
"Yes!"
"What's your favorite snack?"
"What?"
Ed, who was in a hurry, sat down and tilted his head. Endymion asked again.
"If you want to eat something, tell me. Don't hesitate."
"Great... Ed eats chocolate taffy candy and sippers."
Ed was puzzled but spoke quickly. It was his favorite snack, but it was too sweet, and Iris usually gave it to him only occasionally.
Endymion immediately called the chief chamberlain and brought him some taffy candy.
"Eat."
"Oh! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ed quickly bowed and picked up the candy. The sweet-smelling candy looked much more appetizing than the one he had eaten at home.
"Is it delicious?"
"Yes!"
Before he knew it, Ed forgot that he was in front of His Majesty and happily ate the candy.
In addition, when he ate all the small things in no time, he even picked up a vanilla-flavored candy this time. Ed grinned excitedly.
"It's delicious! Mom told Ed that I only had broccoli. But Ed has a much, much more chocolate taffy candy!"
"Tell me anytime you want to eat in the future."
"Really?"
Ed clasped his hands together and exclaimed, as if he was moved. In the eyes of the child, his uncle, whom he had been afraid to go near, began to look like an angel.
"Yes"
"Hmph, ah! But what if my mom scolds me?"
"You can eat it without the Duchess knowing."
"Hey! Yes!"
When Endymion spoke confidently. Ed stomped his feet and liked it.
"Her Majesty said you weren't scared, but it's true! You're a very, very good person!"
Ed smiled and held out his hands. Endymion then picked up a strawberry-flavored candy and handed it to him.
"Hap."
Ed slipped it into his pocket. His cheeks were bulging like a hamster's as he melted chocolate and vanilla taffy candy.
"One, two... So, I'm going to save the blueberry flavor and eat it tomorrow!"
Ed hummed excitedly and counted the rest of the candy.
Endymion looked at his filthy mouth and poured water into his glass. Then, he pushed in front of the child and said casually in a passing tone.
"Instead, you should come here and eat."
"Yes! Then I'll be back tomorrow!"
"And..."
Ed, who was squirming in the cool water, rolled his eyes. The blue eyes of his uncle, who looked just like him, were staring at him.
"Also. I want you to show me how you laugh."
"Ugh, is Ed laughing?"
"Yes. It's better if you laugh at me a lot."
Ed tilted his head, then nodded cheerfully. He was happy to eat his favorite snack, and he was very excited that his uncle, who had been having a hard time, was doing a good job.
"Ah! Then I'll laugh a lot!"
The child began to laugh and chatter.
"Your Majesty, can you use that? It's much bigger than my dad's!"
Ed's eyes twinkled as Endymion graciously handed him the King's quill.
Ed was excited to receive it and started drawing on blank work papers. It was the taffy candy he ate earlier.
"Hmm. Hmph..."
Sweet.
Endymion, sitting across from him, adjusted the angle of the mirror in the corner of the bookshelf next to him. Ed's humming face was captured in it.
He was a difficult child, so he was afraid that he would be scared if he kept staring at him.
'That's how you laugh.'
A warm smile full of happiness.
"Your Majesty, is this moe?"
"Touch it."
A few hours after that, Endymion gave him candy and all sorts of other things that his nephew coveted.
Ed, who was overwhelmed by it, chuckled the whole time, and Endymion was able to analyze Ed's beautiful smile to his heart's content.
***
"Ed. Why did you leave all the broccoli?"
Iris, who was eating with her, narrowed her eyes. Julia laughed and patted Ed on the head.
"I think he's full today. Ed, you're still not picky eaters, yes?"
"Yes!"
Ed smiled cutely and munched on the bread. Iris sighed and complained to Julia.
"I feel like his picky eating has gotten worse lately."
"Sister, he's still young. It will be for a while."
Julia smiled and sided with Ed. Iris shook her head gently.
"Still, I don't even give them snacks, so why doesn't he have a good appetite..."
Iris muttered to herself and raised her glass, and drank the water.
"I need to find out if someone gave him a snack secretly."
"Pooh, no way! Who is that..."
But at that moment. For some reason, Ed, with his eyes in desperation, grabbed her hand under the table.
Julia was about to ask him with a smile on her face, but Edgar whispered very softly without Iris.
"Wow, it's a big deal."
