It wasn't just the Emperor; the Empress, holding the small bottle, was also filled with anticipation.
For so many years, she had longed for a child of her own, but the blessing had never come. If her wish could finally be granted this time, she would be willing to do anything.
The Emperor was in high spirits, unable to hide the smile on his face. His gaze fell upon his younger brother and sister-in-law, and a sense of gratitude welled up in his heart.
True kinship had always been a rarity within the Crown, but his family was different. Though his younger brother seemed cold and distant, he still cared for him. Otherwise, he never would have sought out a fertility potion for them, knowing he was without a child.
He was deeply moved.
The Emperor thanked them again.
"Brother, I must thank you both for this."
The Empress clasped Celeste Grant's hand, her face full of gratitude. "Sister-in-law, thank you. Whether it succeeds or not, I am truly grateful."
