Previous story:
Dinner starts peacefully. At dinner, there was also a bit of conflict. Especially between Sayn, Robert and Denis. But Sayn and Denis' conflict is intense, given that both come from rival kingdoms.
The three men invite Eva to spend the holidays with them. But Eva can't. Ren appears blatantly and tells everyone that Eva is on vacation with him. Making a bit of a misunderstanding happens until Eva says that Diana is also coming along.
Dinner's over. Denis returns home with an apology to Eva. While Sayn tells Eva that she has a plan by approaching Reina. Ren is still in the mansion with Diana. Robert was also still in the mansion with the Duke.

Diana enthusiastically pulled on Ren's hand, and took the man to her room. Ren was quite shocked when he saw that Diana pulled him into the room.
'Is this not a private place?' thought Ren. She could not imagine her husband's expression when she knew this.
Diana continues to pull on Ren, until they finally arrive at the pram.
"Ren look. That was Evan. Isn't he a little funny?" diana said slowly. He did not want to speak too loudly for fear that the baby would wake up. Evan is fast asleep right now.
Ren saw a little baby in the basket. She had a face like Diana and looked extremely fragile. Ren felt he could crush her with just a small grasp.
"He's funny..." Ren muttered little.
Diana pulls Ren back, making the two of them sit on the sofa near the baby basket.
"When I gave birth to Eva, I was very happy. And while giving birth to Evan, I became even happier" Diana smiled happily. "They are precious to me"
Ren did not answer. He allowed Diana to keep telling stories.
"A long time ago we did not meet. I don't even remember it's been a few years. But your face remains the same" Diana stroked Robert's cheek. "You look even younger than me" Diana smiled painfully.
Ren could also only smile awkwardly. He's not aging at all. And actually this was quite painful as Diana reminded him back about it.
"When you came back that time to draw my blood, I actually wanted to hold you. But your face is so creepy, so I don't dare to do it like today" Diana said later.
"Sorry..." Ren's face looked regretful.
"Don't apologize" He stroked Ren's head as if he were a child.
"Ren, you remember, no, when I was a kid, I said I wanted to marry you, right?" diana asked suddenly.
Ren's body stiffened. He wished the Duke had not come and heard this. Or he would have to endure the impact of having to endure the fury of the wild Duke.
"But it's just a child's wish, okay" Diana continued. "I still like Ren. But I love my husband too. And very happy with Eva and Evan. So don't over-implicate it. I only remember the past."
Ren just nodded slowly.
"How's it going? Emerta's? My mother.." asked Diana with a pitiful smile.
Ren felt awkward. Actually he forgot Emerta's whereabouts, he even forgot her. If Eva doesn't remember her, she'll never remember. But there was no way Ren said that he had forgotten the whereabouts of Diana and Emerta for a long time. It would only hurt Diana's feelings.
"He's fine." she replied softly. He could only lie like this because he did not want Diana to worry. He hopes Emerta is fine and nothing happens to him now.
"I miss her. He died like that without any news. We sent each other letters before. But suddenly I didn't receive any more letters from him for a few years." Diana explained.
"Eva said that you'd take us to see her, right? I'm so grateful for that. I want you to see Eva and Evan. I really look forward to such moments" Diana said with sparkling eyes.
"Ren, actually I have one request. Will you grant her?" Diana asked suddenly.
Ren frowned. "What's that?"
"I really don't remember your true appearance. Will you point him at me again?" diana asked with pleading eyes.
Ren nodded. Then slowly his appearance changed. His appearance did not change too much when viewed. The shape of the face, eyes and lips are still the same. It's just that his skin color is turning darker. Then the color of his eyes turned to gold. And then both of Ren's ears slowly tapered like elf ears. And her hair is bleached.
Ren's appearance was actually quite extraordinary. Even though his human form is handsome. His real form looks more handsome. His true form gave off an elegant aura that actually said that he was a king.
Diana was even amazed when she saw him. "You're so handsome" he praised her. Last time, Diana saw this form while in the elf palace. And he just looked at her for a second. He spends more time with Ren's human form. So Ren's original appearance is only vague in his memory.
The bedroom door sounded. Ren stiffened, he was afraid that the mad Duke was coming. But it was Eva. Ren let out a sigh of relief and quickly changed his appearance back.
"Eva, kari~" Diana was not awkward at all and had Eva sit on her lap.
I entered and the atmosphere in the room was very quiet. At first I had expected that Diana would take Ren to the room, because she wanted to introduce Evan to Ren.
I sat on Diana's lap. It's been a long time since I've done this.
"Of course I'll get bigger mom" I replied happily. I really liked Diana. I am so grateful that Diana was my mother.
"As you get older, the sooner you leave me." Diana said sadly.
Uh.don't say that. His words really make me sad. It's as if we have to separate, but my time to grow up is still long.
I clasped Diana's hand that hugged me. "I'm not leaving my mother..."
"Of course, my Eva won't leave me~" Diana said later. His sad face disappeared.
"Are you two talking about the trip later?" I asked about other topics. "I mean the plan to visit the Elf palace!" I unconsciously said enthusiastically.
Diana nodded. "We talked about visiting. And also a little nostalgic about our past."
"Ah~ you two haven't seen each other in a long time" I looked at Ren meaningfully. Diana never knew that Ren had forgotten about her in a few years.
Ren coughed small. She understood the meaning of Eva's gaze because it was her guilt before her. "So when are you going?" He immediately switched his conversation.
"The deer? How's it?" I asked Diana for her opinion.
"Hmm, okay. I'll take care of the preparations"
"All right, I'll pick you up later. We're going to teleport anyway. The existence of my tree house is very secret. I'm afraid someone's following us. So I have to be careful"
Me and Diana nodded obediently.
Our conversation is over. Just this short because we have nothing else to talk about. Ren was going back to his place.
But before returning, Ren heads to the pram. Then, he touched Evan's forehead with his finger.
"What are you doing?" i asked.
Ren smiled. "I just removed the dark aura surrounding the baby. It's dangerous if anyone detects it"
Diana immediately gasped.
"Thank you Ren~" he said in earnest.
"I also gave him a blessing. I gave him protective magic. At least it could be used once when his life was in danger" That was Ren's last words. "See you later" and the man instantly disappeared on the spot.
Shortly thereafter, after Ren disappeared, the Duke went into the room. The Duke looked at Diana meaningfully, wanting to ask for her explanation.
"I'll go to sleep" I said later.
Diana kissed my forehead gently "Dream beautiful dear~" she said.
I also kissed her forehead. "Mother too. Dream good" then rushed out of the room.
There was only Diana and Duke, as well as baby Evan, left in the room.
"What's with your look?" diana asked annoyed.
"Don't you feel guilty for what you did today? What are you planning, right? What are you hiding from me?" ask Duke full of probes. He is angry at the moment. But he tried to ask Diana in a gentle tone.
Haa ~Diana surrender. He pulled Duke up onto the bed and told him everything. He tells her about his plan to meet Emerta in the dark elf castle.
"Can't I come?" The Duke asked with a worried face. The area they were going to visit was a dangerous region. Inevitably the Duke was worried about the safety of his wife and children. Little Evan was involved. His safety was most vulnerable because he was still a baby.
"Don't worry. We'll be fine" Diana comforted her.
"But still" Duke immediately denied it. "I want to go" he said seriously.
Diana had a doubtful expression. "Not that I don't want to take you. It's just, it's all Ren's decision. Ren's magic circle is a secret. If Eva hadn't persuaded her, I probably wouldn't have been able to go with Evan" Diana explained in a sad tone.
Duke was uncomfortable. Besides, if it was a secret, he couldn't force it. So the Duke gave up. He will protect his wife and children as much as possible. He would multiply protective talismans, protective artifacts, as well as healing potions.
"Don't be too anxious okay" Diana kissed the Duke's lips quickly. "We'll be fine...Eneris..."
The Duke smiled "I haven't heard you call me by that name in a long time" he carried Diana back in his arms and kissed her intensely.
Note: The author also wants the story to end quickly so that it can focus on other stories.but.why is so hard ? 🙃 because the author does not write using a story frame, so the story is purely thought out when writing. And even do not know the ending later like how...
