The answer came back quickly.

“Lobster.”

“…”

“Foie gras too.”

”…What the heck, why is everything I^[1]you want to eat so fancy! I’m^[2]you are so sick. I’m^[3]you are so hungry, this is really hard!”

How can I feed that! I cried out. clenching my fists in anger. I felt a round, cotton-like tail quiver behind my butt. Then Chase glanced at my tail, then suddenly shrugged his shoulders and muttered while looking at the distant mountains.

“You did it? What’s so difficult about it?”

“My shoulders are heavy. I have to earn a lot of money… Oh, what should I do? I heard you said you didn’t have any money!”

I remembered the other day when I asked my boss how much personal assets I could afford to spend, and the answer I got back was:

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Listen without misunderstanding.”

I was worried because I didn’t know what he was trying to say and why he was holding back so much. The director continued speaking with a serious expression.

“You don’t have any money. Well, I have some, but it’s not a lot.”

What does it mean that the only remaining direct descendant of the Caesar family has no money? I stammered in surprise at the unexpected words.

(Why don’t I have money?)

(The chairman suddenly passed away, and you were so young at the time. The vice chairman took all the money at that time. Since you are under the watchful eye of the family elders, I can’t stop you from participating in the company’s management, but I^[4]he blocked all the funds that you could use for personal use, so you have almost nothing left.)

(So I’m broke? Really?)

Now I understand why in the original, Leoruka jumped into management before even graduating from college and clashed with the vice president. There was no other way to survive than to run the group’s affiliates directly and gradually increase his stake.

But I’m not as smart as Leoruka, and my only management experience is running the BuXmarble Hotel during group playtime at daycare….

(Your only asset is this Caesar mansion that the Chairman gave you while he was alive, but it’s useless because you can’t sell it.)

(Why can’t I sell it…?)

(This mansion is a symbolic building that has been passed down through generations of the Kaisa family. It has been passed down for hundreds of years, and if you sell it, the elders of the family, the board of directors, will never recognize you. The fact that the current vice chairman has not been able to properly establish himself in the Kaisa Group is largely because you control this mansion.)

This must be the reason why Leoruka didn’t sell the mansion even though it was full of servants planted by the vice president. The situation was more serious than expected.

How can I get a lot of money? I have to earn money to feed the black panther that eats so much… Where can I get the money? I’ve never had more than a million won in my bank account in my previous life, so how do I know how to earn that much money?

When I explained the situation to him, groaning and filled with agony, he scolded me as if I was being ridiculous.

“How much can I eat?”

“You only like expensive things! And what happens when you have a baby? Do you know how much it costs to raise a child?”

“How do I know that? Do you know?”

“I don’t know, but… I’ll probably hear a lot!”

He waggled his tail wildly from side to side and shouted busily. Chase frowned and stared at the ball of fur moving back and forth in front of his eyes for a while before lowering his voice and asking.

“Are you trying to give birth?”

“What!”

“Stop yelling. We’re talking about something serious.”

“Chase kept screaming too!”

He kept whining like that, and finally, after Chase glared at him with force in his eyes, he wagged his tail and avoided eye contact.

Chase tilted his head to the side and asked with a very serious tone.

“Are you really going to have a baby?”

“Uh, that’s…”

What Chase said was serious… It was true. I paused for a moment and rolled my eyes, not knowing what to do. Just a moment ago, I was just thinking about making money, so I didn’t know that this question would suddenly come up.

“Haven’t you thought about it?”

Chase was just looking at me.

Every time he blinked his pretty eyes slowly, his long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. The voice that asked softly was strangely soft and affectionate. It seemed that the black panther also knew that it was not something to be as harsh as usual.

“Well, that’s…”

I haven’t thought about it. But I haven’t thought about it much either. It’s because it still doesn’t feel real. It’s like a weird joke or a hidden camera prank.

Even though I was diagnosed at the hospital, there was no change in my body, and even the morning sickness was done by Chase instead of me. To be honest, I was still half-suspicious that Chase might actually be pregnant.

He’s suffering from morning sickness like that, and when he turns around and looks for food, how can he be pregnant? But no matter how much I think back on that night, the circumstances made that impossible.

But until recently, I was just an ordinary man. Just because I was suddenly informed of my pregnancy. I couldn’t easily accept the fact that there was a baby in my stomach. I had vaguely thought that I wanted to have a baby someday, but that didn’t mean I would give birth to that baby………

But since I was the one who wanted to have a baby, it seems fair that I should give birth to it? So should I give birth to it?

While I was absentmindedly thinking about this and that, a picture frame on the side table next to the sofa suddenly caught my eye. It was a family photo of a smiling young couple and a doll-like child.
