"Come here."
She pulled her husband closer, placing her lips on his soft, pink lips. He completely surrendered to her embrace, obediently offering his lips.
"Today, we welcome another little one into our family."
She gently laid him down on the bed, lifting his underwear. His smooth, white, and alluringly shaped legs were visible to her even in the dim light. His hairless, unpigmented genitals and slender waistline drove women wild. Her eyes gleamed with desire.
"Love me as much as you want, darling," he whispered.
"I love you, Ervin, my Ervin."
"Haaang…! You…! Me too… Aaah! I love you too!"
She completely undressed him, burying her face in Ervin's chest, rubbing against him, sniffing his skin, and slowly sucking his pink nipples.
Thus, the couple's long night began.
"Aaaah!!! Euaaaah!!! Yessss!!!"
As the night progressed, moonlight filtered into the room, illuminating the floor and the large queen-sized bed.
His mother and father explored each other's bodies, reaffirming their love.
The wife was on top, bouncing rhythmically on his firm, pert buttocks, constantly producing a loud clapping sound.
Daniel retreated; he could no longer take it. The scene was overly stimulating for him.
He had never seen a woman this wild in bed, while the man completely submitted to her will.
The memory replayed in his mind, and unknowingly, an instinct was awakened in him—an instinct he had never known existed.
Was it the instinct to submit?
He quickly shook his head to rid himself of such thoughts and hurried to the bath.
He had delayed long enough, and if the servants saw the bath still unused, they might start looking for him.
He quickly took a short bath alone, allowing the water to calm his thoughts, and soon entered his room.
"Damn, what a day it was..." he mumbled as he collapsed onto his bed. He couldn't sleep at all. The scene kept replaying in his mind over and over.
"No! I need to focus on becoming strong and living a life of freedom far away from all this!"
He shook his head, steeled his resolve, and forced himself to sleep.
"Good morning, son, did you sleep well?"
Daniel looked at his mother, who was seated at the dining table, sipping red blood from a fancy glass.
"Y-Yes, mother," he stammered in reply.
"Hmm." She nodded.
Alice, who was seated beside him, eyed him strangely. For some reason, she felt her little brother was oddly flustered today. His cheeks would redden whenever he looked at their mother or father.
"What happened? Why are your ears so red? Are you all right?" she whispered, making him flinch.
"W-What? I'm fine. Maybe I ate too much!" he quickly responded.
"Is that so?" Alice didn't believe him but decided to let it go for now.
"Daniel, dear, your awakening ceremony is scheduled for this week. Be sure to come to my room later. I've picked out some of the best dresses for you."
His father called to him from across the table, and Daniel simply nodded.
It was finally here! The awakening ceremony—the moment when his magic affinity would be revealed.
"I'm sure he will awaken a great magic rune," his father said cheerfully.
"Son, do you know that even in the royal family, there were almost no males in our generation who ever awakened a magic rune?"
"Ah..." Daniel nodded, surprised.
"Hmm? Son, aren't you shocked to hear that your father is related to the royal family?" His father looked perplexed.
"Well, teacher told me about it in our last history session."
"Hmm..." Ervin seemed disappointed, as if he had hoped to surprise his son with the news.
"W-Well, let's not dwell on it." His mother quickly intervened when she saw this.
"Daniel, what rune do you wish for? Fire, Water, Wind… there are countless runes out there." She smoothly changed the subject, and Ervin's ears perked up as he, too, looked at his son curiously.
Alice narrowed her eyes, awaiting his answer.
They all wanted to know what he was hoping for.
"Hmm... Rune..." Daniel stroked his chin in thought, then replied seriously, "I want to awaken the strongest rune ever!"
"..."
They all fell silent for a moment. Ervin hesitated before asking, "Why, son?"
"Why what, dad?" Daniel tilted his head in confusion.
"Um, why do you want to awaken... well, the strongest rune?"
"Huh? To become the strongest man in the world, maybe?"
"Ah..." Ervin nodded, a wry smile forming on his lips. His son was truly ambitious.
Normal boys his age would be reading fairy tales about princesses saving princes or thinking about wearing different dresses, playing with dolls. But Daniel had always been a bit different...
Ervin worried that his son might be influenced in the wrong way. Although Daniel was an obedient and well-mannered boy, sometimes he acted in a way that was a little too girly, which often concerned him.
The two women in the room also had wry expressions as they listened to him.
His mother asked, "Well, do you know what the strongest rune is? There are people with basic runes who have become powerhouses through their efforts."
She smiled as she explained.
"Well, I don't know exactly. Maybe the Rune of Space or the Rune of Time?"
Alice, who was drinking water, choked when she heard his ambitious dreams.
"Cough, cough... little brother, no, Dan, do you even know what you're talking about?" she asked, her voice exaggerated.
"Rune of Space, Time… I don't even think such runes exist." She seemed perplexed as she told him this.
Their mother looked at them thoughtfully, resting her hand on her chin.
