Elisa remarked, “It must be a son. The York family is known for their monk temple, which specializes in giving birth to boys. Their ancestors had daughters, but those daughters were not raised and died young. Only sons were able to survive. The elders say that even if the York family took excellent care of their daughters, they still wouldn’t thrive.”
Serenity suddenly recalled the master who criticized her marriage to Zachary, suggesting that the couple would find happiness and have children.
If she were to have a daughter, would she be able to raise her to adulthood?
If she were to follow in the footsteps of her York ancestors, unable to nurture a daughter even if she gave birth to one, then she would prefer not to have a child at all rather than watch her slowly fade away, which would be a heart-wrenching experience.
Regarding the geomancer from Wildridge Manor, the master mentioned that the geomancer at the Villa wasn’t at fault, yet he also stated that the geomantic pattern of the Villa ensures both prosperity in wealth and family.
“Seren, what’s wrong? Your expression suddenly changed,” Elisa said, noticing Serenity’s shift in demeanor with concern.
“Did you hear me mention the death of a daughter in the York family’s history? Don’t worry; the child you’re carrying must be a son. The emperor of Sonny has claimed multiple times that you’re having a little brother.”
Furthermore, even if you do have a daughter, thanks to advances in medical science and the many prenatal check-ups you’ve had, the baby will be healthy. Consider Zachary’s ancestors and great-grandparents—back then, medicine was not as advanced; even a simple cold could prove fatal.”
Life in the
The ancient palace was impressive; after all, many princes and princesses met untimely ends.
Once Elisa finished speaking, she embraced Serenity’s shoulders and added with a hint of mischief, “You’re not as fortunate. You can only give Zachary a son. Don’t dwell on those other thoughts; it’s not a pleasant topic, and you look so terrified.”
“I want you to know that everything I’ve prepared for your baby is meant for boys, so you must have a boy.”
Serenity struggled to calm her anxiety.
She hadn’t even given birth to a daughter yet; what would she do if she never had one?
Moreover, the master had foretold that she was destined to have both a son and a daughter. Even if she had another child in the future, she would surely be able to raise a daughter to be healthy and safe.

Whether or not she has a second child, she can focus on nurturing one.
The York family is prosperous, so having just one child wouldn’t be a problem. Her future sisters-in-law can have more children if they wish.
After reassuring herself, Serenity’s expression brightened. She said, “Both my children will be my treasures. Who can say now whether the baby will be a boy or a girl? We won’t find out until next year when the baby arrives.”
Elisa responded, “It has to be a boy. The York family hasn’t had a daughter in generations. If you had a daughter along with a son, it would be chaos. The York family can’t treat both a mother and daughter as national treasures.”
Elisa chuckled as she spoke. “Our little Avah enjoys being treated like a national treasure. She’s been sleeping for a long while now. When will she wake up? I want to hold her again. Sister Jane has taken the baby back, and soon it will be…”
It will take a long time before we can see her again.
Jane smiled and said, “From now on, we are family. You can visit Avah whenever you want, but I must warn you that she might be a bit naughty in the future.”
Elisa replied, “Avah is a girl, so she shouldn’t be overly naughty. I believe she will grow up to be a quiet beauty.”
Serenity responded, “Children can be naughty at times. Just look at Sonny—who would argue that he isn’t sensible and adorable? There are moments when he can be quite disruptive. If things seem too quiet, just know that he’s likely causing some mischief.”
