"Isn't that the beach we were visiting?"

Lail was confused, his eyes sparkled when he found a stretch of grassland around the fatum beach. In the midst of the meadow, some herders brought sheep and cows.

"Yes. It's much more beautiful here, isn't it?" Zavir turned to Lail who was dumbstruck with sparkling eyes, as if to swallow the entire beauty of nature in front.

"It should have been the day after yesterday I brought you, but my invitation at that time was actually delayed because I had to take care of some things," Zavir added.

Lail gave a smile, threw a glance at Zavir. "It's so beautiful, I didn't know that behind the big tree I saw from the beach, hidden this meadow."

Zavir's guilt evaporated and his eyes dropped to observe the rather oversized dress which printed clearly Lail's stomach which began to bulge.

"Well, the sun's about to set, look at Zav—'s sky"

Lail's words were interrupted while Zavir's eyes were still fixed on his stomach and then turned as if he was about to scoop Lail's gaze at the sun earlier.

"Your gestational age is about three months if calculated since your appearance in the palace, yes." Zavir smiled gently.

Lail's eyes then turned to the front there. "Yes. Not felt."

As time continued to roll, they kept silent as they watched the sun slowly rest, polishing the sky into a charming orange. Zavir is enjoying these days, it all feels peaceful.

"Ukh!"

Lail groaned, the stomach suddenly cramped so that his legs felt unsteady. Zavir hastily grabbed Lail's body and took her sitting on a large chunk of rock. Squatting down before Lail, Zavir let both Lail's small and white hands firmly grip his wrists.

"What's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts a little, it's uncomfortable."

Zavir stared anxiously at Lail's stomach, the blonde-haired woman's body shaking.

"Then we go back now, next time we'll take a longer look at the sunset completely." Zavir immediately carried Lail, leaving the pregnant woman's buttocks on top of her left hand while her right hand was behind Lail's back.

Lail poked her hands around Zavir's neck, drowning the face in the recess of the hazel-eyed man's sturdy neck.

"Sorry, trouble you." Lail said somewhat regretfully.

Zavir glanced, his neck feeling wet. Resisting the pain in the stomach, Lail's sweat began to appear and it made Zavir more worried.

"I should have thought about the condition of the contents before taking me away."

Meanwhile, in Valazad, Grand Duke Valazad Castle.

"We don't know, the last time he said that he lived in a small town called Crelam."

Gaiden exhaled, Kyle said a few days ago when he was caught red-handed telling him about Lail had been harassing him. While observing the wedding invitation in his left hand, the lightning of Gaiden's eyes showed a speck of hope.

"I'll find you, Lail. I'll take you back to me, and I won't let you run." Gaiden hits the arm of his chair hard, angry that Lail just left without saying goodbye to him makes Gaiden have to suppress the anger behind his guilt.

"Grand Duke."

Sebas exclaimed outside the room and Gaiden let Sebas in.

"What's up, Sebas?"

Gaiden stood up, his gaze became sharper and left the room. Stepping wide into Nilyar's room, the man with the status of a grand duke was immediately greeted by a hug.

"Grand Duke, you've finally come to me."

"Are you going to kill our son?"

Nilyar's delight changed in fear when Gaiden's low and low gaze seemed to gnaw at him.

Nilyar retreated, taking off the hug while looking down very low. "I ... I want to have more time with the Grand Duke."

Gaiden snorted and ordered Sebas to bring new food for Nilyar after he was about to leave, but Nilyar's threatening words brought Gaiden back to his starting position.

"If the Grand Duke continues this way, then I will be even more depressed and that is not good for our child's health! If the Grand Duke does care about this child do what I ask otherwise the Grand Duke will lose it!"

"You crazy?!"

Nilyar's smile tucked away saw the tension mixed with anger decorate the look on Gaiden's face. If Gaiden only cares about the child in his birth, then it will be his strongest weapon so that Gaiden falls slowly despite the initial compulsion, Nilyar thought.

"Yes, I'm crazy because of Grand Duke ti—"

Nilyar's words were interrupted as her eyelids slowly clenched and her body sagged suddenly, almost hitting the floor fortunately Gaiden was quick to grab her.

"Call the doctor immediately!" Gaiden exclaimed at the waiter standing guard outside the door.

...***...

Morning greeted, Asye had been neatly wearing a soft-colored bright dress. Her hair was slightly high with a beautiful hair decoration.

This time, Asye ventured into the palace to meet Hendry, questioning the woman in the pavilion before the wedding was about to happen a week away.

Once again, they met in one room while enjoying a simple banquet and Hendry continued to stare unblinkingly at him.

"Sorry, Your Honor. I mean to come here ..." Asye slightly hung up the sentence.

" ... Does Your Majesty have a mistress?"

"Huh?" Hendry glared a little, his face looked confused.

Asye gulped then quickly said again. "S-I saw a very charming woman in the pavilion near the queen's residence. I do not intend to interfere and act disrespectfully by saying this, but if indeed His Majesty's heart has owned another woman and married me only for political purposes, then, I think just stop this marriage." Asye straightened her body, her chest slightly puffed up along with her head raised a little higher.

" ... Because I can't be with a man who has loved another woman. I just want to be with a man who only has me as the woman he loves."

Asye's firm gaze and courage stunned Hendry, but the blond man's laughter exploded. Hendry knew who Asye meant, it must be Lail. Hendry admitted that he had liked it when he first saw Lail plus the emerald-eyed woman in the palace, but after knowing that Zavir seemed to like Lail, Hendry had buried that feeling, and he was very happy, then met Asye who managed to make his heart beat faster even Asye managed to make Hendry fall in love especially with his surprising attitude at this time.

"W-what are you laughing at?" Asye's face became very red.

Hendry stopped laughing and returned Asye's gaze no less resolute. "The woman you saw wasn't my mistress, there's a long story behind it."

Hendry was silent for a moment. Learning from the experiences of his parents in the past, Hendry did not want to have a concubine or mistress because it would cause many problems in the future, like the evil that the concubines would do in order to get the attention of the king and seize the position of crown prince, Hendry had enough to feel it just by observing.

"Moreover ..." Hendry gave a smile, chopped his face and could not be seen Asye. "I also have the same thoughts as you and I think we can take care of each other."
