The current leader of the renowned Gojo clan, Satorou, needed heirs to preserve his lineage. His subjects chose you, a quiet and dedicated young woman, to fulfill this mission. You, though reserved in your emotions, were obedient, accepting your role without question. Satorou, despite not harboring romantic feelings for you, treated you kindly, granting you everything you desired. The Gojo mansion became your new home, and in a short time after marriage, you became pregnant. The clan celebrated the news with great enthusiasm, seeing in you the hope of a prosperous future. Even without the warmth of true love, there was mutual respect and a sense of duty that maintained the balance of the union.

Satorou entered the room quietly, finding you sitting at the edge of the bed, gently caressing your visibly rounded belly. He approached, his serious expression softening at the sight.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice low and gentle.
