For several long moments, the room remained completely silent.The news Anthony had delivered was still sinking in.Keiran and Aria had never discussed having children so soon. Ever since their marriage, life had been filled with battles, conspiracies, political turmoil, and the terrifying invasion of monsters. Between protecting the Empire and ensuring the safety of everyone they loved, neither of them had imagined that fate would choose this moment to bless them with a child.The emotions were overwhelming.Aria gently rested both hands over her stomach, almost afraid to believe what she had just heard."I'm really going to be a mother?"Juliet knelt beside her daughter and held her hands warmly, "You are"Tears welled up in Aria's eyes again, "I-I wasn't expecting this"Keiran sat beside her, unable to look away from her face. His expression was one of disbelief mixed with pure joy,"Neither was I"He let out a nervous laugh as he continued, "I've faced countless monsters without fe

The Imperial Court remained noisy as the elders continued discussing the Emperor's supposed negligence. Anderson sat proudly among them, secretly pleased with how smoothly everything was going. For once, Emperor Wesley had handed him the perfect opportunity to question his ability to rule.Some elders were already beginning to agree with Anderson's arguments while others chose to remain neutral until they heard the Emperor's explanation. Regardless, the empty imperial throne was enough to make many people uneasy. Just as one of the elders was about to speak, the large golden doors of the Imperial Court suddenly opened.“His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Wesley, and Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Selene, have arrived!”The announcement immediately silenced the entire hall.Everyone instinctively stood up and turned towards the entrance.However, the moment they saw the royal couple, their expressions became rather strange.The Emperor and Empress were dressed in simple commoners' clothing.

The entire Empire had entered a state of preparation unlike anything seen before. The recent Titan attacks had served as a reminder that humanity could never truly know peace as long as Titans continued to exist. This time, however, they weren't planning to merely defend themselves or wait for another invasion.They were going to take the battle to the Titans.The decision made by Emperor Wesley and the Imperial Council had spread throughout the Empire like wildfire. Soldiers from every region had begun returning to the Capital while blacksmiths worked day and night forging weapons and repairing damaged armor. Scholars and historians had also been summoned to contribute whatever knowledge they possessed regarding the Titans.This wasn't just another war but a humanity's war.The war that would determine whether future generations would continue living in fear of Titans or enjoy an era of everlasting peace.Within a few days, the entire Imperial Palace had transformed into a massive

Aria's question lingered in the air, making the room feel unusually heavy.“If one day you're given the opportunity to return to Earth, would you leave us behind?”Keiran remained silent for a few moments as he stared at the moonlight shining through the window. He could hear the slight trembling in Aria's voice, and for the first time since arriving in this world, he realized that the people around him had fears of their own.To Aria, Earth wasn't simply another planet. It was a place that could take her husband away from her.He slowly turned his head towards her and noticed that she wasn't looking at him. Instead, her gaze was fixed on her stomach, unconsciously protecting the child growing within her.The sight made his heart ache and wihout saying a word, Keiran gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.“Aria,” he called softly.She smiled faintly, trying to hide her emotions.“You don't have to answer immediately”“No,”he replied. “This is something I should an

The following few days passed peacefully within Keiran's mansion despite the enormous pressure of the upcoming war. Everyone had become increasingly busy with their preparations, but something else had begun occupying Keiran's thoughts.His dreams about Earth had become more frequent.Some nights, he found himself sitting inside the same coffee shop, listening to customers talk about their daily lives. Other nights, he simply walked through the city streets as though he had never left Earth in the first place.Strangely, every dream felt incredibly real.There were even moments when he could feel the warmth of the coffee cup in his hands or the cool breeze brushing against his face as he walked through the crowded streets.It almost felt like he was living two different lives whenever he closed his eyes.The only thing that remained constant was that he always woke up in this world.Keiran had decided not to tell anyone about the recurring dreams, especially Aria. Ever since their pre
