Enthusiastic Dad

James met the scientist at the castle to ask about the remaining bodies of the criminals who committed suicide. He was so furious with the person who was the brain of this attack, he wanted to immediately find out and punish the person who had attacked Aluna. As a result of their treatment, James almost lost his successor to the throne, they not only endangered the potential successor to James' throne because Aluna who could produce babies for James was also endangered here.

"How are the results of your observations? Were you able to find the magical core of this remaining body part?" asked James.

The science experts were continuing to observe the werewolf's body parts. "We are in the process of doing so, sir. We will do our best."

James nodded in understanding. "I need those results as soon as possible. I will have the werewolf soldiers arrest the main perpetrator of the attack as soon as the results of your observations come out."

"Yes sir, we are analysing the type of magic and the flow of magical energy circulation in this part of the body," the man replied.

James was observing the activities of the magical scholars, he also wanted to analyse the way they did it, in case he found something that the scholars did not identify. Although he was not a scholar like them, but he had a very good accuracy in observing things. Perhaps that could help this process.

"Sir."

The voice made James turn his head. "You? What's wrong Albert? What do you have to say?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you, sir. Mrs Aluna is awake, you can see her now."

James looked pleased, he immediately broke into a smile. "That's good then. I will be there to see Aluna."

James and the man moved as fast as lightning and disappeared from the underground room. They instantly arrived in front of Aluna's room. There was Afrow standing there with a bright face, she must be happy about this news as well.

"Afrow? How is Aluna doing in there? How are my babies?" James asked.

"They are fine, you should meet them inside," Afrow said.

James nodded and opened the door, inside the room Aluna was lying down while being treated by the healers. James who saw it was touched, his eyes immediately fell on the distended stomach that was tightening and deflating, it was clear that there was active movement from there. The babies that Aluna was carrying were moving very actively.

"Aluna? How are you doing now?" asked James.

Aluna took a weak breath. "I'm fine. Your babies are moving very actively, you should say hello to them. I can't stand the kicking of those two."

James was so happy to hear that, after all this time he had never interacted with the babies then he had time for it, he was also so anxious at the cute movements in Aluna's belly made by the babies, James thought he wanted to touch the baby directly, but he had to hold back his desire until the babies were born by Aluna.

"Hey brats, what are you doing in there? Stop kicking and give a respectful greeting to your father," James said above Aluna's stomach.

Aluna who heard that just shook her head tiredly and rolled her eyes. What kind of stupid interaction was that? But Aluna just let it be as entertainment for James, her body was still too weak to move too much. Aluna didn't think that she would still be able to live after the attack, she didn't know what happened but after she got an explanation from the healers, her body immediately got goosebumps. Aluna felt lucky that she could still be saved, otherwise her goal to get out of this world would not end according to her plan.

Aluna saw James so enthusiastically kissing and stroking her belly, James also put his ear on Aluna's belly and joked with the babies, a moment that Aluna rarely saw, only because of the babies James became this friendly with others.

"You will be very strong boys, dad will train you well," James said before he kissed and hugged Aluna's belly again.

Aluna was so amused and disgusted when she saw James like that, she felt James' cold and rude attitude was better than him being friendly and full of jokes like this, his stiff and cold face was not suitable for jokes according to Aluna.

"Do you feel sick, Aluna?"

Aluna who was looking out the window then looked down at James. "I'm fine. Just feeling a little weak."

"You should rest more, after the treatment using golden tulips, your heart is already much better. But you have to keep in mind that the heart is still not fully healed. You should rest more especially during this recovery period. The guard will be more said after this and you will be safer, I have learnt from previous mistakes not to let you out of the castle. So whatever the reason is after this you cannot leave the castle, even if you whine I will not grant your request," James warned Aluna.

"The one who originally gave me the offer to have fun outside the castle was also you, the way to blame me is as if I asked first to be taken outside the castle," said Aluna not wanting to be blamed.

James looked down and then looked at Aluna again. "Well I don't want to argue with you because it could stress you out even more. The point is that you will be kept safe in here, and also I want to say that...."

"I'm really worried about you."

Aluna wrinkled her forehead. This was the first time she heard James so straightforwardly say such a thing, and again it was not an ordinary statement that came out of his mouth.

"Yes, I understand that you are very worried about me as a vessel for your babies. I will take care of myself until the babies are born, so you just calm down and stay focused on your activities so that this castle is maintained and safe," Aluna said not wanting to feel flattered.

James suck his lips and seemed to find it hard to speak. "That's not what I mean, I'm worried about you not just because of that. I'm worried about you because of something else, so don't always assume that I'm a heartless person."

Aluna could only stare at James in surprise, Aluna seemed to question the meaning of James' words. Aluna didn't know what James meant when James said that to Aluna.

"You... You mean a lot to me, not just like someone who benefits and gives me what I want. Ah well, you wouldn't understand," James said as he stood up. "The point is, you just take care of yourself and your pregnancy. Don't think that you just need to live until you've delivered those babies."
