(From Blue's Perspective)
"Yes, Your Highness," the lady doctor bowed at him.
She had blonde hair and green eyes. She was a perfect example of beauty. Her glasses reflected the light and for so reason, it made her look really wise. But she looked like soone I knew.
Detrius gave a long look before heading out of the room. I sighed. He was getting on my nerves now. If he did not talk to the next ti I was going to see him, I would truly be mad at him.
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Emma Reerba," she bowed at . "I am Ezekiel's older sister."
So, that was the reason she looked familiar. Except for her eyes, she looked like Ezekiel, my personal knight. While she had green eyes, Ezekiel had gray eyes that made him look rougher.
She checked my full body so there was no place left. It was embarrassing. I was counting in my head that how many people had seen naked by far.
"Your Highness, I applied the healing dicine on your body. All the bruises will be gone by noon. I would prefer using the slightly weak one, but His Highness ordered to use the strongest one so the bruises will be gone as soon as possible," she muttered.
"... Yeah," I mumbled.
"But I think sothing else is wrong," she said.
"What do you an?"
"Is Your Highness taking pregnancy preventing dicine?"
"Ah, yes," I replied.
"I thought so. It's having a side effect on your body," she said knowingly.
She talked a bit like Ezekiel. Both of them had serious faces, but Ezekiel's face was much more serious than hers. Even though she talked in almost the sa manners as him, she was a bit easy-going than him. Truly saying, he was kind of unapproachable because of his serious face kind of like Detrius. While Ezekiel was hard to approach, Detrius was impossible to approach.
"What kind of side effect? Is it sothing serious?" I asked.
"Yes, it's actually making your body weaker. It's not supposed to happen, but since Your Highness is a human, the side effects are taking severe forms."
"What side effects?" It was not who asked. Detrius had suddenly burst through the door as if sothing huge transpired.
'Honestly, you should knock. It is basic manners. But of course, it's my husband we're talking about.'
"Uh, Your Highness, are you having headaches these days?" she asked, looking at . She was caught off guard as well.
"Yes, she does," he answered for . It was true that I had complained about headaches for the past few days.
"And is your nstrual bleeding regular?"
"Is it?" I asked, glancing at Ruby.
"Still not sure as Her Highness has been here for a month only," Ruby said.
'Ah, that's right. But it feels like I have been here for a long ti. Perhaps it's because I'm comfortable here.'
"What about dizziness? Does Your Highness feel dizzy sotis?"
"Yes," I nodded.
"Breast tenderness?"
"No," I said while at the sa ti, Detrius said, "Yes."
"What? When?" I asked.
"Two nights ago, you said this when we were..."
"Okay, okay, I understand," I quickly cut him off before he said sothing embarrassing. "Yes, I have breast tenderness though not regularly."
"And because of all these side effects, your body is getting weaker. All the dicines here are made for werewolves. Werewolves' bodies are five tis stronger than humans. That's why the dicines here are not that suitable for humans. Even the healing dicines should not be used too many tis on humans as it can weaken the human bodies," she explained.
"So you an..."
"Yes, Your Highness, you should stop taking the pregnancy-preventing dicines," she said.
'What? Then what if I get pregnant? Detrius and I haven't talked about it yet.'
I could not say a word. I looked at Detrius's face, which held no emotions at all. He was almost always like this. This face of his hardly ever changed.
"Alright. Is there anything else?" he said.
"No, Your Highness," she said.
"You can leave now, both of you," he said blankly.
"Yes, Your Highness."
They bowed and left. I kind of wished they did not leave. I could not think of facing him right now. What would I say to him? What would he even say to ? Would he yell at again?
"Will it be a problem for you if you don't take the pregnancy-preventing potion?" he asked.
"... It's not like that..."
"Then what is it like?"
"I... I just don't..." There was no point in being indirect about this. If he wanted to know the truth, I should tell him that. He could think whatever he wanted. But still, it was necessary for to express myself. "I actually don't plan on having a child at this mont."
"You don't?" he muttered. "Is there any particular reason for that?"
"Yes," I said. "I'm only eighteen. There are more things I want to see and learn. There are a lot of things I want to experience. And I want to get to know you better. So, I personally don't want to have children right now.
And when we first t, you said that you didn't marry just to have heirs."
"So you an to say that you don't want children because you want to live freely for a while at least?"
"Y-Yes..."
He smiled all of a sudden. It was the last thing I expected. But his smile was too sweet for to bear. It was like the way his lips curved into a magnificent shape was driving crazy. It was a usual thing for to wonder every now and then that if it was a dream that I was married to him. For so reason, it was very hard to believe.
After all, I was just a normal human and he was a mighty werewolf, and most importantly, he was handso as hell. How could soone so good-looking be my husband?
"I'm glad you told the truth," he said with the heart-stealing smile of his. "I was worried that... I was worried that you're too afraid of to tell the truth."
'That's your fault. You're too intimidating. But I think I'm getting used to it. It's not as scary as before.'
"To tell the truth, I don't want a kid at all," he said.
My eyes widened with shock. What was he saying? In novels, I never read that a king did not want an heir. It was the first ti I was hearing such a thing. No matter how strange his thoughts and view of the world was, it was far from my expectation.
"I don't like kids. They are annoying. There are so reasons that I don't want children. First of all, as I said, they are annoying. Secondly, giving birth is hard. And since you are a human, giving birth to an Alpha's son is even harder for you.
I don't want to see you in pain. And thirdly, I don't want a kid who will look like or have any of my characteristics. If the kid is like you, then it's okay. But I don't want soone like . That's why I don't want any kid," he said.
I did not want any kid right now, but it did not an I did not want to have any kid at all. After so years, if a kid ca along, it would not be a bad thing. But what was he saying all of a sudden? I never thought he felt this way.
"But why?"
"Why what, my wife?"
"Why don't you want a kid like you? What's wrong with having your appearance?" I asked. 'You're quite handso.'
"Isn't it obvious?" he smirked.
"... You are handso and you know it. It can't be your looks," I muttered. "Then it must be your personality..."
"Right?"
"What? It's really about your personality? I was just joking..."
"My wife," he said as he took steps towards and stopped right in front of , leaving almost no space between us, "do you think your husband's personality is good?"
"No."
"You didn't even think about it," he chuckled.
"That's because it's obvious," I said. "Well, no one has a good personality. Just think about it. Does anyone in this world have a pure heart? I don't believe so. Everyone has a side of them that's dark.
That's how humans are made after all. There is a blend of dark and light inside humans. And I think werewolves are the sa. There is both light and dark in them. So, when I said you don't have a good personality, I didn't an it's just you. If we think thoroughly, don't we all have bad personalities?
It's true that you have so traits that are not positive and so traits that I don't like, but who am I to complain? It's you, right? You can't change who you are no matter how much you try. So, there isn't any point in hating yourself thinking that you have a bad personality."
