' You must be the next emperor, my baby ' said a beautiful woman that looks so familiar while smiling brightly and gently caring for her baby in her belly.

Suddenly the surrounding becomes dark and there's only a shadow of that beautiful woman from earlier and a young man standing before her. They were facing each other in that darkness.

' Mom.. dad... I got a hint of my future...for the first time.'

Grand duke Harrison and grand duchess Aria just stare at each other and then nod as a signal.
