Rachel woke up with a swollen back and discomfort in her female region. Last night, they continued their passionate lovemaking in the carriage and all the way to their bedroom. Sebastian didn't go to the hunt and focus all his pent-up desire to his wife.

Her face flushed as she recalled how they had stayed up till dawn making love. Sebastian was relentless as he was spouting words about his seeds to plant in her womb.

"Wife, your husband wants to put his seeds in this womb. Would you like to have our little human, hm?"

As he pushed his shaft to its absolute limit, Rachel panted breathlessly. Because of the deep insertion, she can feel the shaft almost to her navel.

"Hng husband it's too deep aah, aah, haah!"

"My sweet baby. Answer me, would you like to have my seed?".

He then made a powerful thrust and cupped her face to kiss her mouth ferociously. Sebastian changed his kiss to sweet and tender to coax her to answer his question.

"Aah, aah but the contract, haah haa, aah it says we can't"

"Shall we change that stupid contract? I want to impregnate my sweet baby, so she'll only be mine". He whispers in her ear while sucking the inner parts of it.

He took the pillow and placed it behind her hips so he can penetrate her deeply in this missionary position. Tonight, her husband gently made love to her and spent a lot of time in this position. He continues to kiss her lips and face, giving them both the chance to mingle their bodies in a deeply intimate way.

Rachel holds Sebastian's face while tilting her hips to meet his thrust. "Hubby, can you please give me some time to think about it, aah, ah, ahh". She gave him a deep kiss after that.

"Alright. Whenever my sweet baby is ready". He pulls one of her legs and slides it into his shoulder to penetrate her more deeply.

After remembering their intimate night, Rachel woke up and was dressed up by her personal maids. She holds her stomach in the mirror and stares at it, imagining carrying Sebastian's child. A part of her wanted to have his baby and the other part is holding her rational thinking.

The thing that holds her logical reasoning is her recent discovery of her connection to this vessel. She wanted to know the strange phenomenon of her transmigration here, if indeed she originates from this world. If she was truly from this realm, she will stay with Sebastian and start a family with him. Yes, she can now admit to herself that she like her husband and she will spend the rest of her life here with him and their future babies. She will send a sincere prayer to her family on Earth asking them to let her go in peace so they can continue living.

Rachel smiled dreamily when Corine interrupted her thoughts. "Your Majesty, there are two things. First a letter from your mother and the Crown Princess.".

The head maid handed over the letters while Anne entered to wait her instructions. While hastily reading her mother's letter, Rachel asks Anne to open the letter from the Crown Princess.

In her mother's letter, Lily expressed her wish to send Carole as her head maid to train Corine so that she could be properly cared for. The timing is right since she needs information about this vessel, and Carole was Rachel's nanny when this vessel was a young child. She replied to her mother, telling her to come over right away and bring Carole.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess wrote a letter of apology for her disrespectful behavior during the banquet, and she would want to make it up to you by inviting you to a tea party in the Carlyle Palace." Anne looks at her and waited for her reply.

"Oh? What is she planning this time? Can we reject the invitation?".

Rachel shakes her head in disbelief, she really can't handle the immaturity and shallowness of the female lead. She doesn't want to waste her precious time dealing with immature and narcissistic person.

"Well, Your Majesty, if we decline her invitation, that means you also decline her apology." Anne exhaled a sigh of understanding for her best friend.

"What a backward mindset". Rachel murmur to herself. "Okay, send her a reply and be sure to let her know that if the same incident happens again, I won't think twice to use my authority."

"Yes, I will do that, Your Majesty". Anne eagerly obeyed Rachel's instruction since, at last, she is exercising her power over anyone who dared to challenge her authority as the Royal Duchess Astrid. She is really proud of what she has become.

"Anne, please also don't accept any invitations after this one. I would like to concentrate on my new project with Suhin".

"Yes, I obey your order".

"By the way, how's Simon? I haven't heard anything from him since my wedding. Is he alright?".

"Well, my brother is actually coming today. Viscount Luther invited him to his wedding. On that day, you can ask him". Although Anne smiled, sadness could be seen in her eyes.

Rachel clasps her best friend's hand. "Anne, I'm sorry if I made your brother sad. Believe me, it's not my intention to do that.".

"Your Majesty, it is not and will never be your fault. He has always been aware of your brotherly affection for him, but he convinced himself otherwise. Please don't put that on yourself, I beg you." Anne squeezes her hand to stop her worry.

"Thank you, Anne. I will always be grateful to both of you. You accepted and supported me regardless of my status before." Rachel gave Anne a firm hug, and Anne returned the hug in kind.

"No, thank you for coming into our life. This friend and your subject, only wish you well. As long as your fine."

Rachel's heart is overflowing with joy. She is extremely fortunate to have met wonderful and compassionate people, including her family and friends in this world.
