One-to-many relationships - EF

Hi guys might be a silly question but im confused, if i had a relationship like this

// Principal (parent)
public class Blog
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public ICollection<Post> Posts { get; } = new List<Post>(); // Collection navigation containing dependents
}

// Dependent (child)
public class Post
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int BlogId { get; set; } // Required foreign key property
    public Blog Blog { get; set; } = null!; // Required reference navigation to principal
}
// Principal (parent)
public class Blog
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public ICollection<Post> Posts { get; } = new List<Post>(); // Collection navigation containing dependents
}

// Dependent (child)
public class Post
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int BlogId { get; set; } // Required foreign key property
    public Blog Blog { get; set; } = null!; // Required reference navigation to principal
}


protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.Entity<Blog>()
        .HasMany(e => e.Posts)
        .WithOne(e => e.Blog)
        .HasForeignKey(e => e.BlogId)
        .IsRequired();
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.Entity<Blog>()
        .HasMany(e => e.Posts)
        .WithOne(e => e.Blog)
        .HasForeignKey(e => e.BlogId)
        .IsRequired();
}
