The Second Life's

XCIII - Pregnant Mother

I tapped my fingers on the sofa handle tired of waiting for Idris. I've been waiting for an hour in Idris's study, and the owner of the room and the couple have not even seen the nose. It's the second cup of tea I've spent today.

Do they continue their activities that were delayed?

Damnit. If that was the case, I would really make them pay for everything. Hendery appeared while putting on a cheerful face, he had said that he wanted to go to the toilet for a while.

“Does the Queen want to drink more tea?” ask Chloe.

Nah!

I put the teacup I was holding onto the table, in a rough motion. “Do I look like to drink tea again?”

Chloe just shut up.

“My stomach is already bloated and now I no longer have the taste to see the face of the Emperor.” I stood up and glanced at Hendery, Jack, and my three ladies. “We're home now.”

“But ..., we've been waiting for the Emperor for over an hour. Does the Queen not want to wait any minute?” Jasmine started to act wisely in front of me.

Waiting a minute? That's not the right thing. I'm just here to prove that Rose Hindley is really pregnant, I also want to make sure that Consort Sienna has returned to her own body. Besides, I did something in Idris's study without anyone knowing.

Things will get even more interesting if Idris and Rose Hindley arrive on time. That way, I can say both of them as I please. But, too bad it didn't happen. Do they know if I'm gonna do that to them?

Cleks!

Just as I wanted to head towards the door, Idris and Rose Hindley entered first in proper attire. Their faces turned red, as if they had done something fun and embarrassing.

“Where are you going, My wife?” Idris asked, looking confused.

“You've made me wait too long, Husband. Does dressing appropriately take longer if with a full stomach? I don't think Rose Hindley's pregnancy affected the length or absence of you dressing,” my comment was fierce. All three of my ladies were shocked, maybe they didn't think that I knew Rose Hindley's pregnancy.

“What do you mean? You insinuating me?” Rose Hindley was again not being polite to me. “How can you lose to me in matters of descent? Don't you be barren.”

Just be right. How could I be pregnant if I just didn't let Idris touch me?!

“My wife, don't listen to Rose. He is a bit sensitive because by containing my baby,” said Idris. “We can try again to be able to get offspring from you. Don't be sad.”

Goddess, I want to laugh!

“I'm so sorry for you, my husband. You get the offspring of a mistress who doesn't even appreciate your own legitimate wife,” I mocked. “But, I'll be fine, Husband. Descendants of a mistress or even a Concubine, will not be able to ascend the throne if the Queen has children as well.”

Rose Hindley clucked in annoyance. Just now that he was about to charge at me, Idris had already restrained his body first. The bar-bar woman. Mouthed big but not strong accept ridicule.

Just piss me off.

“Basic don't know yourself! You were married out of Idris' mercy! Idris doesn't love you! Basic licker!” rose Hindley shouted, like a doormat. “Go just—”

Plaque!

Well, I can't believe what I just saw. Idris slapped the cheek of Rose Hindley, his bedmate whom he loved dearly. The slap was a very loud and full of energy. Rose Hindley's cheeks were even decorated by Idris's handprints. It's totally beyond belief.

“Rose ..., I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was slapping you. Don't sulk,” says Idris.

“Why did you slap me? Did I say the same thing? Don't you accept what I said to Charlotte?!” scream Rose Hindley. “Do you love Charlotte more than I do?! Just this is how you feel for me?! Doesn't it?! Answer me!”

I chose to stay quiet and enjoy Idris and Rose Hindley fighting.

“Rose—”

“Enough! I'm tired of your behavior.” After saying that, Rose Hindley ran out of Idris's study. His cries in the hallway of the palace, were heard to our ears. He listened to his grief, as if to draw Idris' sympathy.

Idris glanced at me and approached. “My wife, I must see Rose's state. I'm afraid the content is disturbed due to her mood changes just now. Can you come home now?”

My head was filled with meaning for an Idris, but I kept smiling as Idris said that. “By pleasure.”

“Thank you for your understanding, My wife.” Idris smiled and turned his eyes to Jack. “Take the Queen to her train.”

“Good, Emperor,” said Jack, followed by the departure of Idris.

Jack escorted me out of the Imperial Palace. The five of us got on the horse-drawn carriage and went back to the Queen's Palace. Jack's face was visibly troubled as I looked at him before boarding the carriage. Maybe he's thinking about his sister Rose Hindley.

“Queen,” call Jasmine.

“What's up?” I said without looking at him. I prefer to look out the window, watching the people bowing respectfully as my carriage passes in front of them.

“How can the Queen know about Rose Hindley pregnancy?” ask Jasmine. “Is there a waiter who told you this?”

She must have felt guilty for talking about it with the other lady.

“That's my business, no one needs to know how I know,” I said indifferently.

“Queen, if the one born from the womb Rose Hindley is a boy”

“Stop saying about descent!” pissed. After all, this Empire would not be able to be led by the descendants of Vanhoiren anymore. Want a boy, or a girl born by Rose Hindley, it doesn't matter to me anymore.

“Sorry, Queen. I'm only worried about the future of the Empire. What would happen if this Empire was led by the son of a descendant of a mistress? I can't say anything if it's already happened,” Jasmine said.

“Which Dayang Jasmine said has a point, Queen. Does the Queen need a solution so that the Queen's relationship can be harmonious with the Emperor?” ask Matilda.

“We can try to help the Queen as much as we can. We also want the Queen to be happy,” added Chloe.

“It won't happen. You don't have to worry about anything. Everything I planned well,” I told Jasmine, Matilda, and Chloe.

They're too overreacting because they don't know what I'm gonna do. In contrast to Hendery who is now secretly holding back laughter by turning his face away from me.

He really wanted to provoke my emotions for being such a bitch. Hendery glanced at me silently and smiled seductively without the knowledge of my three ladies.

Oh Goddess, why am I surrounded by crazy men in Vanhoiren?
