“It’s fine, you don’t have to worry about it. Like I told you before, I am not angry. I just hope that things between you and Prince Darius will turn out well. I hope that he takes care of you well,” I said as I felt myself getting emotional again.
I wondered if she realized just how calculating and manipulative Prince Darius really is, and then I figured that there was no point in trying to warn her now. Regardless, it was already too late and she was already pregnant with his child. Given the circumstances, I thought that it would be better not to cause her any more worry.
“Take care of your health. I’m sure that your baby will be born healthy,” I said before flashing her a smile.
The way that she carefreely returned my smile made a knot form in the pit of my stomach. I tried my best to maintain my smile before slowly letting go of her hand.
“If it is okay with you, I would like to visit you. Where are you staying now? Are you still in the sacred chambers or have you moved to Prince Darius’s palace?” I inquired.
“I am still staying at the sacred chambers,” Selena said and for a brief mont I could sense a slight loneliness in her tone.
“I will make sure to visit you,” I promised before showing her another smile.
After sharing words of parting, I made my way to look for Prince Leonard again so that we could return to his palace together.
...
“I don’t think she realizes the risk that she is facing,” I complained directly to Prince Leonard when we were alone back at his palace.
“She is already pregnant, so there’s nothing that we can do about it now, Mila,” the prince said as he put a hand on my shoulder.
He imdiately understood the risks that I was referring to. After seeing Selena’s carefree reaction and worry-free attitude, I realized that Prince Darius must have failed to inform her of the risks associated with carrying his child. It wasn’t just a matter of whether or not the child was going to be an ultimate alpha, but whether or not the child could even safely develop to reach full term in her belly. Unlike the king who was worried about the arrival of an ultimate alpha, I was generally worried about the arrival of a healthy child. Just as the prince and the doctors had told before, miscarriages were very common for won pregnant with a princes’ child.
“I’m very worried for her. I feel so scared for her,” I said as I tried to keep my voice from breaking with emotions.
“I know that you really care about her, but there is nothing that we can do so you should stop yourself from worrying needlessly. What will happen will happen and we can just leave it to fate to decide,” Prince Leonard said as he began stroking my back.
When I start to calm down, I realize that I had so many problems of my own on top of worrying about Selena.
“I’m very sorry about what happened today,” I apologized to the prince in a small voice.
“Why are you apologizing? Honestly, I have no idea what you’re apologizing for,” he said before he showed a warm smile.
I was certain that the prince was aware why I was apologizing.
“You wouldn’t have been humiliated like that had it not been for . I am so sorry, this is all my fault,” I said as I felt a sickening tightness developing my chest.
“If you’re apologizing because you’re not yet pregnant, you can forget all about it,” the prince said before pulling into a hug.
“I wish it was that easy, and that I could forget about everything. I’m sorry, things wouldn’t be this way if only I could get pregnant with your child,” I said regretfully.
The single line on the pregnancy test stick ca back to haunt over and over again until it felt like that was all that I could see whenever I closed my eyes. I could feel the prince’s arms tightened around my body as he hugged closer.
“Listen, Mila. None of this is your fault. If there is anyone to bla, then you can bla it on . I know that you’re under so much pressure, and it is all because of ,” the prince said in this effort to comfort .
I knew that we were just taking bla for each other but none of his sweet words could really save from my own fears. I understood and fully appreciated the prince’s patience about this matter. He had never rushed into conceiving a child, and it has always been that wanted to have a child with him rather than the other way around. On top of that, Prince Leonard never involved directly into the politics of his family or anything related to the succession of the throne.
Even though I knew all of that, I couldn’t stop myself from feeling extrely guilty for not being able to do the one thing that would help the prince. The fact that two other won had succeeded in sothing that I had tried to do after trying so hard made feel like a lost cause.
“I don’t know why it’s so hard for to get pregnant,” I murmured.
“Our baby is probably just taking his or her ti. We should just be patient and wait. Our baby will co to us when he or she is ready,” the prince replied smoothly.
Not having to deal with the prince’s disappointnt was a big relief; however, it didn’t ease the pressure from the king and the committee mbers. I clamped my mouth shut as my thoughts darkened. It felt like my worst fear was about to materialize into real life and that the ti where I had to share the prince with other won was just right around the corner. Perhaps it was because I knew that I was being selfish and greedy that I didn’t dare voice my fear directly to the prince. I highly doubted that even Regina or Selena had the other two princes to themselves.
