Coco Archeron

## [source]

**Coco Millie Archeron** is the first partner of Richard from the Archeron Family. Throughout the series, she is a timid and shy girl who was outcasted from main storyline due to her unremarkable talents. However, the one singular night that she slept with Richard resulted in her pregnancy, skyrocketing her status within the family.

She is a commoner girl that Richard chose in order to slight Gaton, clearly not in favour of the family traditions.

## Description

Coco Millie Archeron. Age 16, 1.67 meters tall, and a level 2 illusionist. She was the daughter of Pierre Archeron, titled cavalryman and level 10 warrior with an elementary double rune of strength and defense. He was the current vice-captain of Blackrose Castle’s guard.

## Plot

Richard noticed her for the first time at the banquet meant for him and his siblings to decide on partners, he noticed her but forgot about her as soon as the banquet finished.

They meet again in the lab where Richard was doing his Rune experiments, she was an assistant who worked hard met and even surpassed his expectations.

Later, Richard was forced by his father to take up a partner before leaving on his journey to the lower planes, he chose Coco as his partner. But he didn't touch her even after Coco’s boyfriend was executed.

Years later, Richard feels responsible for blocking her from getting a partner and not giving her any attention.

### **Determination**

“This isn’t like you,” he said as he laid down.

“That’s because I thought it through. I can’t keep living like I used to.”

“Oh?”

“My family needs my help, and I… I need safety as well. I don’t want there to come a day when I get kicked off this island; you’re so busy with bigger things that you wouldn’t even notice. So many people are talking behind my back every day, trying to chase me out so the position of your partner can be opened up.”

“Huh?” Richard frowned, “And why wasn’t I informed of this?”

“The steward has been keeping everything at bay, but things are getting harder on him too. Many lords with higher status than him are starting to poke their noses in, and it’s put him under great pressure. I need a child. With a child, I won’t be chased off this island, and I won’t need to worry about daily life. I don’t have any expectations of getting your heart.”

Richard stayed silent. He hadn’t known the girl’s wants were so simple, just security for her to live her life in peace. Such a small desire had changed her entire personalit..

## Plot

She gets pregnant

When he walked into Coco’s room, she looked paler than ever. The cheekbones were visible on her face, and her belly had already started to swell at a speed that far surpassed any human child, and it was clearly draining her of her life.
He placed the case of life potions on the desk, taking a vial out and passing it to her, “Drink this.”

It took great effort from Coco just to uncork the vial, but as she downed the liquid a rosy blush quickly appeared on her face. Her bones started crackling with the life force now coursing through her veins, but the blush quickly faded as most of the life force was drained by the child. A strong heartbeat pulsed from her belly, and as Richard opened and passed the second potion over, it absorbed most of the energy once more. Thankfully, this time it left a tiny bit for its mother.
Richard had expected such a scenario, but the amount of energy the child absorbed was still beyond his predictions. Insight revealed that the baby was still in the form of a core, but it had grown to the size of a fist. Unlike humans, demonspawn formed their core first before the body was created around it. From the size, the baby was almost fully grown and would start with a body soon. The total amount of life force needed for that wouldn’t be nearly as high.

### **Birth**

She had come from Coco’s family and had barely ever interacted with true nobles, her attitude hardly better than a normal commoner. She was only here because the steward had allowed Coco to choose a familiar caretaker during the later stages of the pregnancy, and entering Blackrose Castle was a huge leap forward. It wasn’t just the powerhouses of the Archerons either; this was the main hub for many powerhouses who were heading for Faelor. If she were lucky one day and had some saint fancy her, her destiny would change greatly.

Coco could sympathise with the woman’s train of thought. The two of them had known each other from youth, and she herself had gone to Faust with a similar mentality. She had been a partner candidate then, which was a little higher in status, but the core idea had been the same. She had never expected Richard to choose her, but many many things had happened after that.

Many complicated emotions whizzed through her heart as she recalled the past. It was all like a big dream, where she had been barrelled across insurmountable obstacles almost through no effort of her own. Now, she had arrived at the best ending she could ask for; a child with Richard.

Richard had made her father a noble, and promised her a barony if she carried to term.

When she first stepped onto the Archeron island years ago, she would never have imagined that she could become a true noble one day.
