"Gr ...."
Where'sme?
I got up and looked around. Right now, I was in a room with a minimalist design.
"Lugalgin? The emir? Inanna?"
Where's everybody? What the hell's going on?
I try to remember everything that happened. We're being attacked by Nina's military. Then, I thrust the generating serum. At that moment, Lugalgin, who had previously frowned, smiled instead. After that, I don't remember anything anymore.
No way! No way! I don't want to take it! Lugalgin must have known that I was going to use the generating serum and he replaced it with sleeping pills. He must have intentionally not eliminated the generating serum in order for me to let my guard down, not thinking of any other alternative.
"LUGALGIN!"
I tried to stand up and run. However, there was not yet a single step, my body felt spinning, making me fall.
"Rina?"
"Emir?"
At the open door, the Emir appeared. He helped me get up and put me back in bed.
"Rina, you've been sleeping all day. Don't move right away."
"Where's Lugalgin? What's he doing?"
The emir did not answer. He just smiled wryly.
"Rina, you better eat first."
Inanna appears with a tray of food and drinks. Inanna didn't use restraint to carry the tray, but the hand.
"But Inanna–"
"Eat. Pregnant women should not be deprived of food. After the meal, we'll explain."
For some reason, Inanna who is usually soft and obedient turned to be firm. I wanted to know the details of the incident, but my instinct said it was unwise to oppose Inanna. I started to eat the warm soup that Inanna brought.
I thought I'd eat this soup with ogah-ogahan, I had to. However, after the first intake, I only realized how hungry this stomach was. I ate this soup quickly and greedily.
"Rina, don't forget that you're pregnant. So, you can't afford to eat enough."
Ah, so yeah. So I'm hungry because I'm pregnant. Damnit damnit! If you know pregnancy will be troublesome like this, I will ask Lugalgin to always wear safety. However, on the other hand, I also need this child in order for the kingdom of Bana'an to acknowledge my marriage to Lugalgin.
Nah! Nah! Lina, don't you think of this child as a means to an end! Don't let you be like your mother! Nay!
Not long after, I finished this soup. Before drinking the tea, I added some sugar blocks. As I downed this sweet tea, Inanna gave an explanation.
After I fell asleep, Lugalgin made a giant dome to protect us all. According to scattered reports of Agade members, Lugalgin had destroyed the entire military base in the Anshan region.
"Then, Lugalgin?"
Inanna. "He disappeared. No signs or information about his whereabouts."
"Then, why do you look so calm, Inanna?"
"Because he's Lugalgin."
"Rina," Emir in. "Lugalgin is not a weak man. He was a disciple of Lacuna, the strongest mercenary. Another identity of Lugalgin is Sarru, founder and leader of Agade. He is also the head of Bana'an intelligence. And, don't forget, Lugalgin was able to clean up the Cleinhad family without revealing his identity. He is Lugalgin Alhold, our husband. Can't you trust your husband?"
"No! Your words are wrong! Human lugalgin too. He is not a god or an immortal being. He could die. He ... he ...."
I don't know what I'm trying to say. I was very anxious to refute and reject all the words of Inanna and the Emir. Yet, for some reason, nothing could come out of this mouth. There should be a thousand and one excuses that could be used to reject their speech.
"The point is Lugalgin could die. If Lugalgin's dead, there's no reason for Bana'an and the black market to help me."
After trying, only that rebuttal appeared.
Inanna grinning. "Rina, remember, the fetus in your womb is a child of Lugalgin. Your content is already the reason for Bana'an and the black market to protect you. How do you think Lugalgin responded when he came back and found out his wife and son had been abandoned? So, by keeping the pregnancy, you'll get protection from the Bana'an and the black market."
"Ta, but ...."
When I tried not to think of this fetus as a tool, Inanna actually stated the opposite.
"Rina," Emir interrupted. "Why are you so adamant that Lugalgin is dead and you will be abandoned? Are you afraid of being left out?"
My body was jolted when I heard the Emir's words.
Am I afraid of being left out? Not likely. No. .. maybe? I don't know. I'm not sure. Maybe I'm afraid of being left out.
I've been abandoned by my mother and almost all acquaintances in Nina kingdom. In fact, Tera has already left me.
When I was in the most fallen condition, it was precisely the person from another kingdom, Lugalgin, who came and accepted me. It's not just Lugalgin. The Emir, Inanna, Lugalgin family, Inanna family, Agade, and Mulisu also welcomed me. They don't hate me even though I keep saying that marriage to Lugalgin is just diplomacy.
What does this mean, I'm afraid of being abandoned by these people I just met?
"Okay, let's put aside the talk about Lugalgin." The Emir cut my thinking. "Now, I will update anything that has happened while you are asleep."
I listened carefully to the Emir and Inanna's explanation.
