Love And Secrets

Alice the Caged

That night there was a sudden meeting of the whole family. His Majesty the King and the Ministers attended the meeting prepared by Gara. William and Eric sat side by side. After all the seats are fully filled. Walk with Alice and sit in front of the invitation. Then Gara stood up and prepared to make an announcement.

"Good night, Your Majesty the King.." Because he lowered his head. His Majesty the King nodded and invited Gara to continue his words.

"I want to deliver very important and very happy news." Because she smiled with pride. Alice felt very embarrassed to sit in front of all the members of the kingdom, wanting to feel like she covered her face and ran away from there.

"My beloved wife, Alice..

"He was pregnant with my child, and,

"And he's a man." Closing the announcement with a smile of victory.

Instantly, everyone present was boisterous, including His Majesty the King, he stood up in shock. William didn't show any expression, because he knew everything.

"Will, you know what?" Eric whispered in William's ear. William just nodded and smiled.

"Dad, is there anything to say?" For waiting for His Majesty's answer the King who is still standing.

Her Majesty the King walked towards the seat occupied by Alice, Alice feeling tense and not knowing what to do.

"Alice my son.." The king clasped Alice's hand tightly. Alice did not dare to look at the face of His Majesty the King.

"Is everything Gara says true?" Everyone there became tense waiting for Alice to answer.

He felt Dejavu with his current condition. Remembered by her trial a few days ago, where everyone looked at her with a look of disdain and contempt for the trap Laura set. However, now that everyone was looking at him respectfully, it was a very clear difference to be seen by anyone.

Alice did not say anything, she simply nodded and remained silent.

"Ah..

"My heart is so relieved Alice!!" The king hugged Alice's petite body, everyone who saw felt disbelief at the sight they were witnessing.

Alice was surprised by the treatment of His Majesty the King, it never occurred to the slightest thought His Majesty the King would embrace her like that.

He walked over and whispered in his father's ear.

"Dad, let Alice go..

"You're embarrassing me."

His Majesty the King laughed out loud hearing Gara's words.

"Oh my goodness, Gara ..

"Can't you just let me in for a second?

"Do you believe it?

"I'm going to be a Grandpa!" His Majesty the King shed tears.

"Your mother must be happy now." The king wiped his tears.

"May Your Majesty the King always be blessed.." Everyone was screaming together.

The entire room was filled with laughter, everyone was smiling full of happiness. Gara and Alice hugged each other, enjoying every moment that happened.

It has been 6 weeks since Alice was found pregnant, now that she has been accompanied by doctor Reina, Alice's weight has begun to rise, her stomach has looked a little distended.

During early pregnancy Alice did not experience nausea vomiting as generally occurs in pregnant women, only her appetite was reduced. Whenever her five senses increased, Alice was always accompanied by Lin or Reina's doctor, because Gara was busy with her work.

Occasionally, William and Eric visit only to find out Alice's condition. As of this moment, William came up with the fruits that Alice liked.

"Hi the distended woman.." William teased Alice who was sitting lazily in her bed.

"You, you suck!" Alice threw away her face not wanting to see William.

Lately it is difficult for Alice to control her emotions, William knows it and constantly teases Alice.

"You look cute with that big belly Alice." William laughed out loud.

"Shut your mouth, Will, or I'll chase you with my belly this distended."

"No, don't don't do that.

"I'm giving up." William raised both his hands up.

"I brought you berries, look.." William put the berries on the table.

"Aaah, give me that..

"Give it to me.." Alice sulking spoiled.

"You lazy mother, come down."

"Give me Willl....

"I beg you....." Alice showed a clear face.

"Ha, okay.." William took some berries and put them on Alice's palm.

"Thank you.." Alice smiled happily, then devoured all the berries that were within her grasp.

After Gara learns that Alice is pregnant, she does not let Alice out of her room, except to come out with her, as she does not allow Alice to leave the room.

These few days Alice kept asking to get out of her room at Gara, she wanted to see the garden, wanted to walk in the back pond, wanted to go home, wanted to see the forest and other difficult things.

Because she was too afraid to let Alice out of the room, she always remembered the time when Alice was unconscious at that time and did not want Alice to experience the same thing, she said, so that's why she asked Alice to stay in the room.

"Will..

"Take me out of here." Alice looked at William expectantly.

"Ah..

"You want to tear me apart?

"You really are Alice's best.." William pretended not to see Alice.

"Come Will..

"I'm like a bird in a cage.."

"You bats aren't birds, correct that."

"You're such a bitch.." Alice punched William in the back.

"I can't take you out Alice..

"But I can bring you someone.

"How's it?"

"really?

"Right, Gara didn't let me out, but that doesn't mean anyone else can't come in, right?" Alice's eyes twinkled.

"Are you satisfied?" William was happy to see Alice smiling, his teeth were not neat that always made William fascinated to see it.

"I'm happy, thanks Will.." Alice kissed William's cheek quickly, William's face flushed red, reflexively standing up and walking out.

"I'll go now." William walked away without looking back.

"What's wrong with that kid?" Alice who was left behind suddenly became confused.

"I should have asked him to take Hans and Aunt Ann, I really miss them."

Moments later there were footsteps approaching, followed by a knock on the door.

"Lin, look who's there."

"Good Ma'am.."

Lin opened the door and was surprised to see someone unknown to him. Lin quickly closed the door again.

"Who's there Lin?"

"He's someone I don't know Ma'am."

"You didn't ask her name?

"Go back and ask who he is."

Lin opened the door and asked her name.

"He's named Kent Ma'am."

"What did you say?"

"He's named Kent Ma'am."

Alice got up from the bed and ran towards the door, she almost tripped but Lin helped her quickly so Alice did not fall.

"Ma'am, please be careful.." Lin was very worried to see Alice almost fall.

"Thank you Lin.."

Alice opened the door quickly and without looking again she hugged the person in front of her.

Lin who continued to pay attention became confused by what he saw.

"Kent..

"That's you?

"I miss you.." Alice kissed Kent's cheek gently.

Kent was very happy to see Alice returning Alice's embrace gently. His face looked very happy and filled with smiles.
