----- A Few Days Later-----

The air was cold even though the sun was out.

After deciding to adopt the child as their own, Lina and Akihiro returned to the Yotsuba main house.

The family members and servants welcomed them with a grand celebration. Lina and Akihiro happily announced that they had twins.

The family elders looked at the babies and told Lina that the babies looked beautiful. When everyone looked at the babies, one of the elders named Akuma Youtsuba commented that the boy resembled Emilia.

"What do you mean?" Said Akihiro.

Please do not get me wrong, I just said what came to my mind.

Lina slammed the table and said, as one of the elders, you need to think twice before saying something in public.

"He is my child," Lina said.

After shouting at the elder, Lina stormed out of the room with her kids.

Akihiro followed Lina and calmed her down. He then told her not to get too emotional.

After calming down, Lina told Akihiro to observe the elder and keep him away from the boy.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Uncle Akuma might look like a nice person from his appearance. Only those close to him know that he is too clever and cunning. If he finds out the truth about the baby, the consequences will be dangerous, she added.

Akihiro assured Lina and told her to relax.

[TIME-9:00 PM]

After resting for a bit, Akihiro and Lina got ready to go down for dinner.

When Lina was changing clothes, Akihiro asked Lina about Emilia's family and her husband.

She always dodged the question by changing the topic, so no information on her husband, Lina said.

"What about her hometown?" Akihiro asked.

She always said that she came from a small village far from the capital. Apart from that, she never told me anything about her.

While Lina and Akihiro were thinking about Emilia, Arthur entered the room and said everybody was waiting for them.

Lina told Arthur to call a maid to take care of the babies.

Arthur told Lina, "There is no need for that. I must protect and take care of them when you are not around as their brother."

Lina pulled Arthur into her embrace and told him that he would be a wonderful big brother.

Before Lina went downstairs for dinner, she told a maid to look after the kids.

While playing with the babies, Arthur noticed a strange mark on the boy.

Arthur went to his parents and told them that the baby had a strange mark on his back.

Lina and Akihiro went to the baby only to find no such mark present on the boy.

How is it possible? I just saw a mark on him that almost looked like a twin snake or something coiled together.

"You must be tired," go get some sleep, Akihiro told Arthur.

Once Arthur was outside the hearing range, Lina asked Akihiro, "What do you think Arthur was talking about?"

Akihiro said, "I think Arthur did see something."

"What did he say it looked like, a snake?" Akihiro asked Lina.

He said it looked like a twin snake or something coiled together, Lina responded.

If he did see something, why was there nothing when we checked? Lina asked.

I have no answer to that, "All we can do is wait." Said Akihiro.
