[POV Iona]
It was on that day that I received a summons as a prospective mother of a future hero.
I had heard that the kingdom was planning to have a large number of children in the near future between a man of the hero bloodline and a woman of outstanding talent, but I had never imagined that I would be chosen as the mother of such a child.
I had thought that although I was skilled with a sword, I would not attract men with my looks enough to be chosen.
But apparently, the royal family thought otherwise.
His Majesty Lelouch, the king, is a very respectable man and is known as a gentle and wise king who excelled in both the military and domestic affairs.
As proof of this, this task is not forced, but voluntary, you can refuse if you do not wish to take part.
Therefore, I would decline the offer.
That is what I thought.
"Iona, dear please accept this offer."
I was suddenly told such a thing by my mother, who is the head of the family. Our Cucorose family has been a family of knights for generations. At the same time, it is also a female lineage. All children born, including myself, are girls.
Taking in a son-in-law has become the norm. That's why, as an adopted son-in-law, my father's right to speak is very weak.
I know it's not a great expression, but the man's role is nothing but a breeding horse to give our family children.
I don't hate my father, who has a slender, calm personality, but at the same time I think he's unreliable. That's why I like masculine men. While I was thinking about this, my mother continued.
"It doesn't seem like you have any intention of getting married.''
It's not that I don't have the intention of marrying, as my mother says, but I am known to the world as a man-hater.
However, that doesn't mean that I dislike men themselves. There are just too few men worthy of my respect in this world.
"You're going to give me the hero's offspring, right? You'll never have an offer this good again."
Speaking of the BraveLord family of the Braidea royal family, they are famous for possessing a hero bloodline.
If Sanvolt-sama was still alive and he was my partner, I would have gladly accepted the offer, but the person entrusted with the job of the breeding horse was apparently the youngest prince, who had recently returned and was notorious for being the `prodigal and debauched idiot prince'.
I don't know how true it is, but I haven't heard any good rumors about him. I also remember that his mother was from a commoner family. His pedigree probably isn't very good.
I think it he also had a pretty rare name. However most just call him Charles. "I'm thinking of declining the offer."
"If you have a man in mind, I would respect your wishes, but I don't see that happening at all, right? You're at an age where it wouldn't be strange for you to have children. I'm also looking forward to seeing my grandchildren.''
As the head of the family, my mother's orders are absolute. This is how I reluctantly accepted this offer.
Then, the day arrives.
I've never even had a relationship with a man, let alone kissed, and suddenly I'm making a baby. The burden is too heavy for me. However, it seems that being a virgin is an absolute condition for being selected, so it's only natural. While thinking about this, I made my way to the bedroom where my partner, the Idiot Prince, was waiting.
The man who appeared in front of me certainly had an excellent appearance, it was expected as he was from the hero bloodline. He has a face that could be called beautiful, but his lines are too thin. Although his hairstyle wasn't one that could be mistaken for a woman's, it was too androgynous for my taste.
"My name is Eucharlouch BraveLord, you might’ve heard about me from rumors, such as a foolish prince living a life of debauchery. However I am the only one in our family that is fit to become a breeding horse currently. I may be a foolish prince, but I can properly make children so don’t worry."
He greets me like that. The tone is manly as it should be from a man.
His doesn't seem to be an effeminate man in character.
His voice is pleasant to my ears and it's not bad. He's even likeable. But.
My face clearly showed my dissatisfaction.
"That look on your face shows that you don't like the idea of being held by me."
That's what he says. I'm not satisfied. I'm very dissatisfied. However, the other party is a member of the royal family. There is nothing I can do but hold my tongue and be embraced by him. Yes, even if it's someone who is inferior to me. However, contrary to my thoughts, he said something like this.
"If you're dissatisfied with me, we can duel. If I don't meet your expectations, you can go home. Of course, I won't blame you for that."
I couldn't hide my surprise. Because what he said was beyond my imagination. This is how I ended up confronting him. Of course, the goal was to defeat him and return home with a untainted body. ...There's no need to reminisce about what happened after that.
It didn't take long for me to become attracted to this guy, who I thought I wouldn't like at all.
