… That's not true. I can't be reckless in giving birth to the child I've been waiting for, right?Menitto and Ruri brought in a professional to assist me. Everything runs smoothly thanks to the neglect of the servants here, and I hope that neglect will continue. Except…“Ma’am?”I clicked my tongue. These servants kept disturbing my time to pamper my baby boy. I opened my mouth curtly. "So what if he comes?"The maid flinches. She parted her lips. “That… uhm, you need to get ready.”I snort. “Bullcrap. Why should I get ready? Just go away. Don't show your face in front of me or in front of my baby again."I sharpened my warning at the last words as I looked at all their faces. They lifted their chins awkwardly when they received a stern look from me as they stopped what they were doing. They were the ones who ignored me until a while ago, and yet Jermaine still employed them at this place. That made them arrogant, assuming that Jermaine cared more about them than me and my baby.[“Tch
Gift boxes began to pile up in the corner of her room, coming from the friendly hands of the nobles who hoped to be under her new grace. But she did not open any of the luxurious gift boxes. The boxes are moved into storage on a certain day, and only the letters inside are taken. She thought that everything would be festive if she gave birth to her child, but the reality approaching her was far from joyful. She did not even have the energy to smile when she looked at her newborn baby girl's face, which looked ugly in her eyes. The baby didn't even have her features or Jermaine's, from the face alone. One thing that perhaps lifted her heart a little was that her baby girl was born with typical royalty hair features, and she kept wishing that as time passed, her daughter's face could also take on the beauty of Jermaine's. However, as time passed and the baby's face began to form like a baby's face in general, she still couldn't find Jermaine's face on her baby's. 'They say even Sasha
“Would you think postponing it for a few days would be wise?”Ruri blinked slowly as she tilted her head. “Won't that ruin your plans?”"It's just... my instincts tell me that even if I'm not the one pushing it, many other people will do it in my stead without them realizing it, so..."“Okay, let's postpone that part. Then what about things related to Bella?"“For that, let's process it as quickly as possible. We have to get Bella out of that place faster. Have you got what I asked for the other day?"“Yes. Following your instructions, I found them gathered in the private study room of the city library. And when Menitto threatened them by mentioning the name of the person you gave, their leader agreed to make a transaction with us."I breathed a sigh of relief. “We need to test it first. Then if no other symptoms follow, let's give it to Bella.”“I understand, sister. And speaking of Bella, she seems to have stumbled upon something troublesome.” Ruri handed me a folded, crumpled paper
Blinking her eyes innocently, Luelle replied. "I heard she's fine and is resting now."Jermaine sat on the sofa across from Luelle. She raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched Jermaine's movements. 'Why isn't he sitting next to me like usual?'“You heard, huh? You… didn’t check on our daughter yourself?”"I did when the doctors checked her right after they arrived at the scene."Jermaine rubbed his face roughly, then buried his face in his hands. Luelle kept noticing Jermaine's strange behaviour, which made her pick up on an uncomfortable vibe from him.After letting the clock on the wall speak itself with the ticking that filled the room, Jermaine opened his mouth. It started with a heavy sigh.“Do you know what I've been through today? Moreover, what have I heard regarding the results of the investigation into this incident?"“Are you finally going to decide the punishment for that woman? She dares to harm our daughter, so of course she will get the same painful punishment, righ
The head of the guard looked at me silently for a while. Then he answered. “There are no such people.”“Ah, is that so?”Was it the disappointment I felt when I realized that no one would visit me in this place for the last time?I thought with their twisted personalities, at least Jermaine or Luelle would come here to rub salt in my wound, but even that didn't happen. It didn't seem like they would suddenly be the ones to wake up to their feelings of guilt, so their absence now was quite surprising to me.“We will finally leave this place, baby,” I whisper to my baby boy, who snuggles in my armpit.Finally, evening arrived. The guards opened the prison cell and then escorted me out to walk all the way to the back gate. I looked around in all directions as I knew it would be the last time I would take in the beauty of this place with my eyes. After all, this place was once the most comfortable place I could live because I was not comfortable in my own family's house.I spent my late t
Four days after the exile of the former queen to the monastery, the people of the kingdom were shocked by the official news coming from the Royal Family about her sudden death. The news came like a bolt of lightning on a hot summer day. Not even the big media company, which is usually very up-to-date regarding news about the former queen, sniffed the tip of this news. The changing tides that occurred in just four days since the news of her exile that night sent all media companies into a frenzied state.As the official notification comes from the royal family, there is not much variety of information that can be written in the newspaper. Even though they tried to sniff out the rest of the investigation, trying to get insight from other views, they came to a dead end. That's because the events that occurred were explained so clearly and openly by the Royal Family."I can't believe that until the end, that woman wanted to deceive our kingdom by joining hands with those barbarians."“Tal
In her past lives, Sashal thought exile to a remote place was a better punishment than the death penalty. At least that way, she can still give birth to her child even in a place where there are many shortages. That's why she accepted the exile punishment without making many protests or tantrums. She followed the punishment decided for her.However, on her way to the monastery, a group of wolves attacked the group accompanying her. She and her party died at that place before arriving at their final destination. When she restarts her life, she thinks they are an army of rebels who want somehow to possess the former queen for their mission of revenge. That's why they attacked the group that escorted her. But after going through three similar incidents, each time she was sentenced to exile, she knows better.The wolf squad consisted of men sent by Jermaine who wanted to kill her. It was at that moment that she realized that no matter if she somehow avoided the death penalty 'route' in th
I blinked confusedly.I'm sure I just crawled into the hole in the border wall, but I was on the other side already. I couldn't grasp what happened with my reasoning as to how it all happened, as I was sure the dividing wall was thick enough for me to pass through in an instant. So I was looking forward to crawling for a while in deeper darkness, but that didn't even happen.‘How did this all happen?’It was so confusing that I was late in realizing Rohan's presence. "Finally, you're here, my princess."I shifted back to my human form in response to Rohan's approach. He knelt in front of me, then pulled me gently into his tight embrace. I could feel his strong arms wrapped around my entire body while his fingers gently caressed my back. I took a deep breath near his neck.‘Ah, this is the warmth I was looking forward to.’The soft aroma like the scent of earth after rain, that wafts from Rohan's body, always bewitches me to linger in his arms. It was a form of comfort that only Rohan
