When I Took Back My Beloved Child Who Had Been Taken From Me, My Husband's Obsessive Love Began. Why? - Episode 21

Children in this world are born with magical power, to varying degrees.

However, if the amplified magical power that grows with the body becomes too great, symptoms such as fever will appear due to the inability to control the magical power within the body.

It was called “magic intoxication,” and until now, it was thought that the only option was to endure it—there was no way to deal with it.

However, while examining various cases, Aman’s father began to think that there might be a way to deal with magic sickness and started his research.

It seems that the realization that children from families where the mother often falls ill and stays in bed tend to have relatively high magical power was the starting point.

As a result, it was discovered that children who have frequent contact with their mothers—those who are often hugged—experience milder symptoms of magic intoxication even if they have high levels of magical power.

From there, it seems they thought that if the mother’s magic was suppressing the child’s “magic intoxication” symptoms, then perhaps the father’s magic could also alleviate the symptoms.

Unfortunately, the father’s magic did not bring about the dramatic alleviation of symptoms seen with the mother’s.

Even so, it is certain that it is more effective than someone else’s magic.

Therefore, I realized that even my father could alleviate mild “magic intoxication.”

When Leoldo fell ill, Craig suppressed the disturbance in the magical energy, which is probably because their magical connection is strong.

However, Aman predicted that as Leoldo continued to grow, the “magic intoxication” would become even more severe.

That’s why Lucienne returned in perfect health.

However, Aman had been researching for the past two years, believing that if Leoldo could learn to control his own magical power, it might be possible to alleviate both his own suffering and the depletion of Lucienne’s magical power.

The results seemed to have been achieved in this lesson with Leoldo.

At first, Leoldo was confused by the different lesson content, but by the end, he was laughing happily.

“Aman, how’s studying going?”

“This is studying.”

“Are you going to study while holding hands?”

Yes

Leoldo, who was sitting across from Aman, was told to extend his hand and obediently complied, tilting his head in confusion and asking questions.

It is undoubtedly incomprehensible even to adults that Aman and the teacher would hold hands during class.

However, Leoldo followed Aman’s instructions without asking any further questions.

“Your Highness, first, please close your eyes and direct your consciousness—your feelings—toward my hand that is holding yours.”

“Yeah”

Although it felt somewhat hesitant, Leoldo closed his eyes and, perhaps unconsciously, tightly grasped Aman’s hand.

After a while, Leoldo suddenly opens his eyes in surprise.

“Warm…”

“Yes, that’s right. The feeling you have is my magic. Will you direct your feelings towards the heat within your body?”

“Understood.”

No matter how much Aman uses gentle words that even young children can understand, a two-year-old wouldn’t normally be able to comprehend them.

However, although Leoldo seemed a bit confused at first, he soon closed his eyes.

There are tight wrinkles between his eyebrows, conveying his seriousness.

Lucienne watched the two of them with a tense expression.

Aman’s magic—his warm heat is pleasant and something I unconsciously seek, but what was it like in the beginning…?

Lucienne remembered the first time she received treatment from Aman after becoming pregnant.

At that time, it felt like all the strength was draining from my body, I was short of breath, felt nauseous, and just lying in bed was painful.

As soon as Aman held my hand and I felt the warmth, I seemed to feel a bit better, and naturally, I clung to that warmth.

It seems that it somehow connected to stabilizing my own magical power.

Originally, there would be a rejection reaction to the magical power of others, regardless of its strength, if they were not bl00d relatives. However, it seems that the magical power of the Aman clan is special, and they can adapt to the magical power of others.

Thanks to that, Lucienne was able to somehow survive these past two years, even during her pregnancy.

On the contrary, I can hold and cherish Leoldo like this.

So, I prayed that Leoldo could also be guided through the disturbance in his magic by Aman’s magic.

“Your Highness, how are you?”

“Yeah… it feels strange.”

“Is your body feeling hot? Are you in pain or feeling unwell?”

“No, it’s fine. It just feels warm.”

“That was wonderful.”

Aman gently smiled at Leoldo, then glanced at Lucienne.

In response, Lucienne nods.

“Well then, that concludes today’s lesson.”

“Is this the end?”

“Yes. However, please remember this feeling. That is the assignment until the next class.”

“Got it. I’ll do my best.”

Leoldo was puzzled by the short class that only involved shaking hands, but when Aman assigned the homework, he nodded vigorously.

That figure is both reassuring and adorable.

“Thank you, Aman. Leoldo did a great job too.”

“I…”

“You were probably surprised since it was your first time, right? But you listened to Aman properly and managed to do it. You did great.”

“Yes!”

Lucienne thanked Aman and then praised Leoldo, but he didn’t seem satisfied.

Therefore, when Lucienne explained how she had worked hard, she answered with a happy expression.

Apparently, Leoldo is not used to being praised.

From now on, I will try to give lots of compliments—without even trying, it seems like compliments will come out endlessly, but Lucienne made up her mind.

“Come on in.”

“Mother!”

When Lucienne kneels down and spreads her arms wide, Leoldo quickly gets off his chair and rushes in.

Even when I hugged him tightly just like that, Lucienne’s magic didn’t get disturbed at all, and I could hug Leoldo to my heart’s content.

It seems that Leoldo, at just two years old, has managed to learn how to control his own magical powers, albeit clumsily, with the guidance of Aman.

If you practice more from now on, your precision in magic control will likely improve even further.

Lucienne gazed at Aman through Leoldo, filled with gratitude.

It seems that Aman has also noticed that, despite his inexperience, Leoldo has managed to learn the method of magic control in such a short time, and it appears that Lucienne’s gratitude has been conveyed.

Perhaps feeling a sense of accomplishment, they smiled happily.

“Your Highness, you truly possess remarkable talent. However, there is no need to push yourself too hard. Let’s learn gradually, focusing on what we can do and what we want to do.”

“Thank you, Aman”

It seems that Leoldo has completely opened up to Aman as well.

The smile directed at Aman was childishly innocent.
