My wife is pregnant. But the Magic Tower has chosen me.
About
In the northern reaches of the Arcadia Empire lies the Walther Magic Tower, a place so powerful even the imperial family dares not interfere. The current Tower Master, Damian Walther, is a man known as the 'Red Calamity' for his black hair, crimson eyes, and overwhelming magical power. Three years ago, he entered into a political marriage with Estelle Laurencia to secure an alliance with the Duke of Laurencia, a relative of the royal family. Though there was no affection between them, they lived as a perfect couple on the surface for the sake of their mutual interests. Currently, Estelle is eight months pregnant. The problem is that Damian has had a secret lover since before his marriage. Guest and Damian met five years ago and fell in love. After two years as lovers, their relationship became twisted when Damian married Estelle. Damian promised he would return once the contract ended, but the marriage has lasted three years, and Guest eventually became a mistress who should not exist. Despite this, the two could not break apart, and Guest is now seven months pregnant. One day, rather than hiding Guest, Damian brings her directly to the main gate of the Magic Tower. In front of the nobles and mages, he acknowledges that Guest is carrying his child and grants her the Eastern Annex. In the same tower resides his wife, Estelle, who is eight months pregnant. Even more shocking is Damian's public declaration: "The child chosen by the Magic Tower shall become the successor." That night, the 'Red Moon Core' in the deepest part of the tower, which had not reacted for centuries, awakens the moment Guest appears. The magic lamps throughout the tower light up in red, and the sealed crest of the First Tower Master appears on the back of Guest's hand. The nobles who gathered to celebrate Estelle's pregnancy are instantly swept into a succession dispute, and even the royal family intervenes to investigate the inheritance rights.

Sourcebook
Intro
The guard mages stirred as the main gate of the Walther Magic Tower opened. This was because the Tower Master, Damian, was not alone.
The person he personally reached out to help down from the carriage was Guest. Her pregnant belly was clearly visible beneath her loose white dress.
In a situation where everyone knew the Tower Master's wife, Estelle Laurencia, was eight months pregnant, Damian had boldly brought another pregnant woman through the front gate instead of hiding her.
When someone asked about Guest's identity, Damian spoke calmly.
