I Didn’t Tame The Beastly Duke!

Celia’s first child was born in the summer.

Because of the divine beast’s ability, she had an easy birth and did not have to endure a long labour. She was worried about dealing with the heat all summer, but the palace was always kept at the ideal temperature, whether it was summer or winter.

Her daughter was a healthy little girl. She resembled her father, Leonis, and was smart, as if she had combined all of her parents’ strengths.

Leonis, on the other hand, was concerned because she had red eyes. He wondered if she’d be angry at him for passing on his red eyes.

But the child was confident, brazen, and calm.

She was so mature that she looked back carefully to see if there was anything she had worried about about the child without her knowledge.

Celia wanted a big family, so they welcomed a son five years later, followed by twins four years later. They were sons and daughters, twins.

“……I want my younger brother, but I didn’t want a poop mask!”

Ella, the first princess, expressed her frustration. Lance, the younger brother, was urinating already, but the twins were not. They even drooled a lot.

“They are sleepyheads!”

“So they are not cute? Should I give it to the Prime Minister?”

Celia asked, referring to the Marchioness, who loved children. Ella then shouted with a fuming face.

“They are my sleepyhead boys!”

“No, it’s mom’s and mine.”

Leonis responded firmly. For some reason, Ella seemed to be bothered by the twins crawling on her whenever they pooped. It was cute when it was quiet, but the smell of poop was not cute.

“Why are they pooping so much? It also stinks.”

“If you eat a little, you won’t poop much. Should I give you less food?”

Ella shook her head vigorously, although she thought Celia was saying this to tease her. The smell of poop was bad, but that didn’t mean it could upset her younger siblings’ stomachs.

“That’s not allow….ed”

Ella, who was muttering under her breath, sensed Leonis’ gaze and tacked on a remark to the end of the sentence she was speaking. Even though she had only recently begun to study the language, it was time for her to use proper honorifics towards the Emperor and Empress.

She learned the language so quickly that Zeppel was happy that the princess was smart.

Because Ella was Celia’s first child, she received special love from the God of Heaven. That piece of information was imparted to Celia by the Divine Beast, but she specifically requested that he not share it with anyone else.

Because what other people consider normal and how they talk about it could put an unnecessary burden on her child.

The fact that she was smart in no way diminished the effort that she put forth. She felt that it would be unfair if Ella were to be treated unfairly because she had achieved what Ella worked hard to achieve with the grace of God.

To varying degrees, both her second child, Lance, and the twins were blessed. In addition, the Divine Beast informed them that each of them was born with divine powers and could use healing powers.

This was in contrast to Celia, who could not yet use her healing powers.

‘Is it because the Goddess of Destruction saved my life?’

Because the remnants of the goddess’s power were so strong, she seemed unable to use any of the other abilities. It still seems easy to confuse or drive someone crazy.

Recently, Lance and the divine beast had developed a very close relationship, and now Lance spent as much time as he could with the divine beast. When he was a baby he wanted to touch the beast’s tail, but now he was more excited about riding on its back.

The divine beast did not give him a ride easily.

Since he was still a baby, he got upset, pulled his tail, and got scolded by Celia.

‘I still can’t believe I gave birth to all of those children.’

Even though they were born out of hope, it gave her a strange feeling every time she saw them.

She knew that being a mother wasn’t something she was qualified to do as soon as she gave birth. She has to keep being careful, learning, and trying, and she barely manages to become a mother.

That was what Celia felt. Even though she knew what her child had and studied and tried a lot, she felt like she was lacking again.

‘I need to be able to raise them well…’

Because she had seen bad examples up close, she felt a greater sense of responsibility for herself. These children were the children of the emperor and empress, and they had a lot of power from birth.

She is unsure of how much power they possess at the moment; however, once their hair has grown longer, she is uncertain of where the power will be directed.

A person who holds power is more likely to fall into corrupt behaviour than anyone or anything else.

“You don’t have to worry, Mom.”

Ella, who was looking at her two younger siblings who were annoyedly hugging her legs, suddenly spoke in a clear voice.

Red eyes resembling Leonis glowed brightly. Celia looked blankly at the lovely smile.

“I will become a good adult and a great emperor. I’ll promise!”

“Keugh!”

Popo, the divine beast, opened his eyes, shivering. He tried to sneak into Celia and Leonis’ bedroom again tonight, but Leonis’ stubborn refusal forced him out.

One of the maids living in the palace soothed him and took him to his bedroom, but he had this dream.

‘They are so aggressive, yet there are four of them!’

The current emperor and his wife had no children. However, there were no rings on the fingers of the two people who entered the bedroom tonight. The contraceptive ring was removed.

The divine beast raised his head from the bed, and a cold sweat broke out through his fur.

Even now, the arrogant Leonis monopolise and refuse to give away the saintess, and they are going to have four children…. It was obvious where Celia’s attention would go.

Even though the divine beast crawled out of the blanket and flew towards the door, the maid, who fell deeply asleep, did not know that he would wake up.

Of course, the divine beast did not have the spirit to care for the sleeping maid, so the divine beast kicked down the door and left the room, scaring the maid who was lying on the bed.

It was midnight when the divine beast woke up.

Celia and Leonis were having a good time together, doing what they always did, which was clinging to each other. The climax of the action had been reached for quite some time, but Leonis, whose excitement had not yet subsided, was about to insert it again.

Bang!

The sound of the door opening out of nowhere startled Celia, who was still basking in the glow of her leisurely pleasure. Leonis hurriedly covered Celia’s body with the blanket and got down from her bed.

“What the…….”

The grey object flying into the bed with no hesitation was familiar. Just by looking at the sparkling wings of light on its back, its identity was clear.

Leonis immediately caught it as he flew by. The nape of the neck, to be exact.

―Le-Let me go! You can’t come inside yet!

What kind of nonsense is this? They had already been married for over three years. Still, Leonis growled without throwing away the struggling white tiger, saying he was a divine beast.

“Stop talking nonsense… I told you not to come in at night!”

―Kruung!

The captured divine beast suddenly grew larger and rushed at Leonis, but Leonis showed no signs of panic. It was because he noticed that the divine beast was trying to become an adult when he saw the light gathering.

Celia covered herself in the blanket and stuck her head out through the curtains of the bed.

“Po…”

The divine beast attacked hard, but Leonis overpowered him in an instant. The divine beast, who was crushed on the carpeted floor, immediately released his assimilation when Celia appeared to be looking out of the bed.

―Huff, huff…

“This ball of fur. Only in times like this do you act weak.”

Because of the commotion, the maids had just come running into the room. Celia covered her body up to her neck and looked at the divine beast that Leonis held in his grip.

“Your Majesty, please let him go. It hurts him all over.”

Leonis whispered to the Divine Beast.

“As soon as I let you go, you just flew into bed. I’ll throw you out of the bedroom.”

Even under normal circumstances, it was a nuisance that snuggled into Celia’s arms. The current Celia was even wearing only a blanket around her naked body. Leonis was filled with jealousy at the thought of this man being held against Celia’s chest.

But as soon as Leonis let go of his hand, wings of light fluttered. Sure enough, Leonis’ large hand caught the beast as it tried to jump into the bed.

Exactly the back of the head.

“……What did I just say?”

The divine beast rolled his eyes, his head held by Leonis. It was because he was feeling a terrible life in the back of his head.

This Paladin guy! Although he knew that it was impossible for the God of Heaven to make an error in judgment, he thought that it might be a great mistake.

―Tsk, it’s in the direction of the bed, but… thinking of stopping in front of that…

“Huu.”

The exclamation in that voice did not contain any trust in the divine beast. The divine beast was moved to tears, but it was difficult for someone who had suffered for decades due to the curse that God placed on the wrong people to find a sense of awe for the divine beast.

“Leon.”

Celia appeared to be preventing Leonis from continuing by poking her head out from behind the curtains of the bed. This caused Leonis’ expression to become a little bit more relaxed, but as soon as he looked down at the divine beast, it hardened back up again.

“Just because Celia thinks you are cute if you behave as she wants…”

The lowered voice gave a shiver to the back of his head.

“…It won’t be good. What a tangled mess of pelts!”

The divine beast drooped sullenly. He could hear the maids sighing, as if they were saddened by that sight. Celia also had a similar expression.

Leonis clicked her tongue and let go of the beast. Leonis couldn’t get any closer because his fur had turned blue, but he spread his wings and flew up after her.

―Saintess! Don’t put it inside yet! Do it later, not today!

“Euh, eum……”

Celia’s face heated up as she realised what the divine beast meant by putting it inside. Leonis quickly motioned for the maids to get out of the room. The door to the bedroom was shut by one of the quick-thinking maids.

“You know Leon and I are husband and wife, right?”

―I know! I’m not telling you not to get married!

When Leonis saw the divine beast bouncing up and down above him like it was jumping in the air, he couldn’t help but let out an amused chuckle.

“It’s already late. I had a great time tonight too.”

Rumble, boom, boom!

It looked like lightning struck him in the head.

At Leonis’s brazen reaction, Celia was shocked and shouted ‘Leon!’ and the divine beast was frustrated.

Celia only saw the divine beast’s appearance and treated him like a child, but Leonis knew that he was more knowledgeable about the world than he seemed. He himself said that his current form was a new body created by God in order to come down to earth.

―Already……

The divine beast’s small body fell on the carpet as the wings moved slowly.

―… … It’s too late!

“What do you mean it’s late?”

Leonis questioned as if he didn’t understand what was being said. The divine beast abruptly raised his head and glared at Leonis as if it was all his fault.

― I had a dream! The dream is that oversolicitous people are bothering me!

“What do you mean, oversolicitous people?”

Who would dare to harass the divine beast?

Celia looked at the divine beast with a puzzled look on her face. The only person who treated the divine beast carelessly was Leonis, and everyone in the imperial palace was very fond of the divine beast.

Leonis was tense on the other side. Because the divine beast is a being that does not dream by nature, the dreams that the divine beast dreams are closer to foreknowledge sent by God.

―Hmph! The saintess’ children!

“Children?”

“My child?”

Celia’s face heated up as she listened to the words. It had only been three days since she had had sex without the contraceptive ring.

“Is our first child going to be a set of twins?”

―That’s not what I mean! Don’t bother asking me because I won’t be able to answer you!

But Celia was happy just by what she found out. If her children are healthy enough to the point that people say they are aggressive, this indicates that she gave birth to healthy children.

‘What do you mean put it inside?’

Leonis was also secretly in a good mood. He had already heard that Celia wanted to have several children with him. Leonis intended to do as Celia wanted.

Because he was an only child and did not receive any love from his parents while he was growing up, he is unable to even fathom the possibility of having many children of his own, but he felt like he could do it if he had Celia by his side.

“We’ve already gone over the water; there is no point in going back.”

Leonis picked up the divine beast this time with much gentler hands than before, and he carried him all the way to the door of the bedroom. When he opened the door to the bedroom, the maids rushed in and grabbed the divine beast.

As he closed the door, he took a quick look and saw that the maids were closely consoling the divine beast.

‘You’re a nuisance.’

But it was a good idea, so Leonis decided to tell the chef to prepare a table for him tomorrow morning. Although the divine beast did not need to eat food, he did eat for the taste.

Celia’s face was also red with joy.

Leonis quickly climbed into the bed, fearing that Celia’s body might get cold.

“… Should we do more? Because it seems like today is an auspicious day.”

“Yes.”

Celia nodded happily and snuggled into Leonis’ arms.

Much to the divine beast’s chagrin, the empress and the emperor stayed in bed the next morning because they had received good fortune.
