Apus Village.

Weiss Manor.

"Mother found me a fiancée? We were getting married in a few days?" Roland, who was basking in the sun, widened his eyes, looking bewildered.

"This is too sudden!"

He knew nothing, not even who the bride was, and he was already getting married?

Just like that?

It was more crude than a blind date itself.

"That's right! Your father and brothers are both gone so the lady was worried about you and the continuation of the bloodline."

"If you didn't hurry up and get married and have children if something unexpected happened, the bloodline of our Weiss family would be completely cut off!"

Priya's expression was very serious.

Indeed, this was a very serious matter.

Throughout history, countless nobles on the continent have disappeared into the river of history due to the extinction of their bloodlines.

For nobles, procreation was a very important mission. The more members in the family, the more stable the family heritage.

From this perspective, the Weiss family was obviously in the most critical moment. There was only Roland left in the direct bloodline.

If Roland died, the Weiss family would almost certainly be expelled and cease to exist. Their past generation were Tribal chiefs but during the founding of the Kingdom of Jin, his ancestral grandfather took a stand.

He fought and survived with farming tools, followed by a ground of farmers. Witnessing his bravery and loyalty, the King of that time bestowed them a title that had lasted this long.

However, the term arranged marriage made her a bit uncomfortable. What if the woman was a bad character?

Moreover, instead of young girls, he liked mature beauties like Priya. In fact, he had already planned to pursue Priya and take her as his wife. They were so close during the child and he had even declared in front of everyone that Priya would be his wife.

Noticing his gaze, Priya shook her head.

"Master, it's not time for that. I am already your maid so I am already in your grasp, whereas you shouldn't ignore Her Lady's dying wish. I can't be the main wife and tarnish her reputation."

Roland was both shocked and uncomfortable about this and then sighed in regret. He can't just force her like a beast, can he?

"Alright! But if the woman isn't good, then I am not going to marry."

"Don't worry, she is both virtuous and beautiful," Priya answered with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Roland's sense of rejection immediately decreased.

As an adult, he naturally understood that responsibility and obligation went hand in hand.

Since he had inherited the title and land of the Weiss family to inherit and strengthen this family.

Of course….

Obligations were obligations.

If he was asked to marry an ugly woman, he definitely wouldn't agree.

Knowing Roland's thoughts, Priya smiled and gave a positive answer, "The fiancée your mother found for you is Janet, the eldest daughter of the neighboring territory's Knight. She was a very beautiful girl, so you could rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Roland's eyes lit up, and the remaining trace of resistance disappeared a bit.

Soon, Roland started researching about her. He didn't hear anything negative about her and as per people, she was sensible so at the end he agreed and the preparations began in full swing.

............

Five days later.

The wedding was held as scheduled.

To help Roland, who had just become the Baron of Weiss, integrate into the local noble circle as soon as possible, Priya chose to make it a grand event.

Invitations were sent to almost all the nobles they knew nearby.

Therefore, the Weiss family estate that day could be described as bustling.

Noble guests dressed in formal attire could be seen everywhere.

Roland, also dressed in formal attire, saw his future wife, Janet.

Just as his mother said, she was a very beautiful girl.

Fair skin, a voluptuous figure, and a head of soft golden hair.

It perfectly matched his aesthetic.

What mattered was that she wasn't just any young girl of similar age to him. It seemed despite being not so close, his mother knew his preferences.

Feeling Roland's burning gaze, Janet, dressed in a pure white gown, blushed slightly and shyly lowered her head.

Next…

Under the witness of numerous guests and the priest of the Church of Love, Roland, and Janet successfully completed their wedding.

Officially becoming a newlywed couple.

After the wedding was completed.

The two of them completed the final step that night.

Roland, who was so excited about his first experience, showed what it meant to be a Master Knight.

Under his repeated spear attacks, Janet, a young maiden, was unable to bear his full vigor and passed out.

Despite this, she still had a satisfied expression on her face and seemed to be quite pleased with her husband's performance.

………

In the blink of an eye.

Three months had passed.

During this time, Roland had been consciously cultivating feelings with his wife, Janet.

Although the two of them were a typical noble political marriage. But he didn't want his wife lying next to him to have her heart elsewhere.

With Roland's efforts, Janet's feelings for him had steadily increased.

The two of them were now inseparable.

Seeing how affectionate they were, Priya was also very satisfied, however, at the same time, she felt quite jealous.

She also had feelings for him, with whom she had spent her childhood days, but as a maid, she couldn't be his first wife and tarnish his reputation.

At the same time, she constantly urged the couple to have children quickly, to continue the bloodline of the Weiss family.

Under the supervision and urging of Priya and all the servants,

Roland had to plough the field several times a day. If it hadn't been for him being a 3 rank Master Knight, his stamina wouldn't have lasted long.

He would have been completely exhausted long ago.

One month later, Janet became pregnant.

"Roland, I'm pregnant!"

"Hahaha! That's great! Janet, you've worked hard!"

Upon hearing this news, Roland's expression froze.

Immediately, with a happy face, he hugged Janet tightly and gave her a passionate kiss. Leaning against her husband's embrace.

Janet caressed her belly, her face filled with a happy smile.

The couple was happy.

"The Weiss family is going to have a new member!"

Upon hearing this news, Priya was more excited and immediately started preparing various items needed for pregnancy and childbirth.

At the same time, she cooked nourishing soup for Janet every day.

Of course.

Roland was not idle either.

In addition to dealing with the daily matters of the territory, Roland even put aside his daily training.

He almost spent all his time accompanying his wife.

Feeling her husband's thoughtfulness, Janet felt very sweet in her heart.

Their relationship became even stronger.

…..

Nine months later.

Approaching the due date.

In order to ensure a smooth delivery for Janet, Roland specially invited a priest from the Church of Life to deliver the baby.

Although this high-magic world did not have scientific medical techniques such as cesarean section.

But it had even more magical and miraculous magic and divine arts.

The Church of Life worshipped the goddess of life, who held authority over life and childbirth.

The priests under its banner possessed the divine art of childbirth, with a 100% success rate in deliveries.

They could be said to be the most powerful midwives in the world.

The only downside was the expensive cost.

To hire a priest from the Church of Life, it would cost at least fifty gold coins.

It should be noted that the annual tax revenue of the Weiss family's fiefdom was only a little over six hundred gold coins.

Ordinary small nobles couldn't afford it.

However….

You get what you pay for.

With the help of the priest of life, Janet successfully completed the delivery in just over ten minutes.

With a cry, Roland's first child was born.

It was a very healthy boy.

"This is my child!"

Looking at the wrinkled little guy in front of him, Roland couldn't help but smile.

He became a father!!

With a child connected by blood, Roland finally felt completely integrated into this magical world of gods and saints.

He truly had a sense of belonging.

However…

In the very next second.

Roland's joyful expression suddenly changed, and a hint of inexplicable shock appeared on his face.

Because he found that the amount of his battle force in his body had inexplicably increased by one-tenth. Moreover, a gust of warm energy flowed into his left arm.

The grievous wound made it hard for him to use his left arm properly but now a miraculous feeling seemed to heal and cure his wounds.

"What's going on?" Roland muttered to himself, his mind racing with confusion and apprehension. The sudden surge in his battle force was unprecedented, and he couldn't fathom the reason behind it.

But before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, a strange sensation swept over him, as if something had awakened within him. It was as though a dormant power had been unleashed, flooding his senses with newfound strength and vigor.

Instinctively, Roland focused his mind, trying to grasp the source of this mysterious surge in power. And then, like a bolt of lightning illuminating the darkness, a piece of information materialised in his mind.

[Host's child detected, family system activated.]

[Begin testing the child's aptitude.]

As the words echoed in his consciousness, Roland's heart skipped a beat. A family system? Aptitude testing? What could all this mean?

Before he could ponder further, another notification flashed before his eyes.

[Ding! The child has no magical aptitude, lesser-rank battle force aptitude, overall evaluation is F rank, you gain one year of battle force cultivation.]

[Note: Child's evaluation is based on cultivation aptitude, divided into F, E, D, C, B, A, S…... The higher the evaluation, the more generous the rewards you receive.]

F rank? Battle force cultivation? It was as though a veil had been lifted from Roland's mind, revealing a world of possibilities he had never dared to imagine.

And as he cradled his newborn son in his arms, a sense of purpose ignited within him.

'I can't believe I would gain something so unimaginable.'

And all of this was possible due to this child and mother, for which he was quite thankful.

He then bent down and, looking at his wife with a loving gaze, kissed her.
