When I Took Back My Beloved Child Who Had Been Taken From Me, My Husband's Obsessive Love Began. Why? - Episode 25

There are many things I want to ask Aman.

However, Craig focused on holding Leoldo’s hand and helping him recover from a state akin to severe magical intoxication.

It seems that Leoldo also has a fever.

Since it was a common symptom of magic intoxication, Craig poured his significantly depleted magic into Leoldo to stabilize the magic disturbance for now.

Along the way, I noticed Lucienne’s maids entering the bedroom and starting to take care of various things.

Wipe Lucienne’s sweat, prepare an ice pack for Leoldo, and prepare cold tea for Aman and Craig.

Craig, who was thirsty, drank the tea in one go without even checking it.

Apparently, it seems to be herbal tea; it goes down smoothly and refreshingly, permeating my tired body.

After that, a slight sense of ease emerged, and Craig looked around the room, surprised by the changes.

Leoldo’s bedroom had not only a simple bed but also newly added paintings hanging on the walls, dolls placed on the chest, and many children’s picture books.

I realized how unchildlike Leoldo’s room had been until now.

To be honest, I don’t really know what a child-like room is actually like.

Craig, too, had spent his childhood in a room with decor that hadn’t changed much from the previous one.

It was so taken for granted that I had never deeply thought about Leoldo’s room—the children’s room.

However, I only remember that Lucienne was preparing various things for our unborn child during her pregnancy.

Lucienne had been feeling unwell for a long time, not even leaving her room or meeting with Craig, but I thought she was still properly considering the child.

Even so, I didn’t even bother to see how the room for the baby was prepared.

The breathing of Leoldo, who is sleeping in front of me, has become quite stable.

In comparison, from the makeshift bed positioned a little farther away, the faint sound of Lucienne’s intermittent, weak breaths could still be heard.

Even if I look, I can’t see Lucienne’s current state because she is hidden in the shadow of Aman.

Without thinking, Craig felt like clicking his tongue, but he hurriedly suppressed his feelings.

“Was it… Aman?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“How is Lucienne’s condition?”

“It’s not looking very good. The loss of magical power is immense……”

Suppressing his pride and asking about Lucienne’s condition, Craig received an unfavorable response and clicked his tongue this time.

However, Aman, who answered, also seems to be feeling unwell.

“Aman, are you okay?”

“Yes. I am aware of my own limits.”

In short, it meant pushing oneself to the limit, and Craig grimaced.

If Aman is using his own magic to stabilize Lucienne’s magic, just like Craig, then I realize that we might be able to take turns.

“Aman, Leoldo is stabilizing. Since I have more magic power, let’s switch.”

“I truly appreciate your feelings, but… that’s not possible.”

“Why?”

“The quality of magical power differs between Your Majesty and Lucienne. Therefore, it is not possible to infuse Your Majesty’s magical power into Lucienne’s body.”

“Then, do you possess the same kind of magical power as Lucienne?”

Craig was irritated by Aman’s explanation, but he also understood it.

The fact that each type of magic has its own quality is something I feel every day.

Every time Leoldo got magic intoxication, only Craig could calm him down, and that’s probably the reason.

At that moment, Craig was taken aback.

“Aman, are you a member of the Rector family?”

“Did you know about our family’s power…?”

“To be precise, I recently found out that there is a doctor in the southern region who can treat ‘magic intoxication.'”

“Could it be that Your Majesty’s inspection this time was to visit that doctor?”

“Roughly speaking, yes.”

Aman was taken aback by Craig’s response.

The Rector family has been succeeded by Aman’s brother since the father became the personal physician of the late empress.

Aman, who hadn’t seen his brother in years, was flooded with nostalgia, even though he had more pressing matters to attend to.

“How was… how were my brothers?”

“Ah. Everyone was safe and sound. They were well-liked by the locals, and many parents even traveled from afar after hearing the rumors to bring their children.”

“I see…”

The decision to leave home for Aurelia with my father was supported by my brother.

“Surely, in the future, your strength will be absolutely necessary for the royal family. Until then, please help your father with his research.”

Aman looked down at Lucienne and wiped her sweat-drenched face with a damp cloth.

At that moment, feeling a strong gaze and looking up, I lock eyes with Craig.

For Aman, Lucienne is like a younger sister, but public rumor has it that they are in a romantic relationship.

It’s only natural for Craig to vent his anger.

However, Aman was also angry.

I don’t know if Craig’s anger comes from possessiveness or affection, but he has been neglecting Lucienne all this time.

“……Your Majesty visited my brother to treat His Highness’s ‘magic intoxication,’ didn’t you?”

“That’s true, but your brother refused. He said, ‘I can’t handle it.’ I told him it was fine, but he was stubborn. It was probably because he knew you were by Lucienne’s side.”

“That’s probably true…”

Aman, who had answered, stood up, approached Leoldo, and took his hand.

Craig does not stop him and silently watches Aman’s actions.

Leoldo is indeed quite calm, and he will likely continue to recover like this.

Aman, letting out a sigh of relief, approached the table where the light meal prepared by Rite was placed.

“Your Majesty, let’s take a short break. It seems the Prince is fine, and as for Lady Lucienne… we can’t be too sure yet, but for now, she is in a stable condition.”

“—Understood.”

Craig glanced briefly at Leoldo and Lucienne, then nodded at Aman’s proposal.

However, their inner thoughts are troubled and chaotic, dominated by worry, regret, and other emotions that are hard to understand.

Because of Aman’s movement, Lucienne, who came into Craig’s view, still hadn’t regained her color and didn’t seem calm, only occasionally letting out faint sighs.

Still, understanding that there was nothing he could do—though he was frustrated, he had no choice but to follow Aman’s instructions and sat down on the soft chair next to the table where the snacks were placed.
