Chapter 176 - Amelia's Anger

Mischa was about to chase Ren who was carrying Fae away from the hall, but two bodyguards dressed in black had blocked him.

"Sorry, Sir. You are not allowed to follow His Highness Prince Renald," said one of them with a stern face. 

"But he is taking my assistant," said Mischa quickly. He could only watch Ren walk away with a worried face.

What happened to Fae just now? Why did she pass out?

Amelia hurriedly took out her cell phone and called Doctor Lehmann as Ren requested. Even though she really hated Fae, for her, Ren's request was an order that must be obeyed.

She actually felt bad about bothering Doctor Henry in the middle of new year's eve like this. It felt so heartless. However, she had no choice.

"What happened?" asked her mother with a confused face. "Who is that girl?"

"I don't know .. maybe she's just a guest who happened to fall unconscious while dancing with Ren. I think Ren is worried that the royal family reputation will be smeared if a guest passed out at our gala," Amelia replied, pretending not to know who Fae really was. She bowed slightly towards her parents and the Akkadian monarchs.  "Excuse me, Your Majesty. I will check on the girl's condition and let you know if anything bad happened to her .."

Queen Elena and King Gustav looked at each other. They remembered that the girl was the person they had met at the palace entrance. Ren had been looking a little weird since they met. Was the prince interested in that beautiful girl?

They became curious to know who the girl was. They only knew that she came with Mischa Rhionen from RMI. King Gustav summoned a man dressed in black and whispered something to him. The man nodded and then left.

Mischa clenched his fists when he realized that he couldn't break through the palace security. At least not openly like this. He turned and talked to London.

"How long will you be in Almstad?" he asked the man.

"Only tonight. Lily is still waiting for us at home. L came to perform here because Queen Elena invited her personally and didn't feel comfortable saying no. We always want to spend the new year together at home. Tomorrow we also plan to fly to Stuttgart and get together with mom and dad and the others."

"Hmm .. is that so?" Mischa nodded. He could only sigh. At first, he wanted to introduce London directly to Fae. He did not expect L and London to be at the royal gala tonight. He was excited when he saw the man among the guests and rushed over to see him.

Mischa wanted London to see how similar Fae was to Altaïr, Vega's twin, and ask his opinion. since London often saw his nephew.

Mischa already knew that Fae was not Vega, because her fingerprint records didn't match, but ever since that day, his heart had been in a mess and he kept thinking about the possibility of Fae having a relationship with them.

He didn't know why, he just wanted London to see Fae for himself and give his opinion. And if he agreed with him, London could be tested for his DNA as well, since he was the girl's uncle.

That way, Mischa could prevent Elios Linden from knowing about all this. After so many unfortunate events in the past, Mischa didn't dare to do it by himself. Sometimes he was worried that his passion to find Vega had turned into an obsession that affected his judgment. He would only pursue this if London supported his suspicions.

However, unfortunately, Ren already took Fae away before Mischa could show her to London Schneider. He could see from Ren's attitude toward Fae that the girl was fine, but he still felt very worried. He didn't know why Fae suddenly fainted.

What happened exactly?

He could only cast his gaze towards the exit and try to think about how he could meet Fae.

***

"What happened to her?" asked Amelia when she arrived at the magnificent pavilion, behind the palace. Her forehead creased when she saw Ren lay Fae on the bed and sat beside her with a panicked face.

"Have you called Doctor Lehmann?" Ren asked back, ignoring Amelia's question.

"Yes. He is coming straight here," replied Amelia. "In ten minutes or so."

"Good." Ren nodded. He then looked at Amelia deeply. "Thank you."

"It's okay. That's my job as your secretary," said Amelia. She looked to the right and left. "Karl isn't coming?"

She rarely saw Ren without his quiet personal assistant.

"He has something to do," said Ren. He looked at Fae, who was lying unconscious next to him, and his face turned murky. They were dancing earlier, and he was again trying to convince Fae to come back to him, but apparently, the conversation was too depressing for the girl that she fainted.

Maybe she was in poor health because she was pregnant, Ren thought. His handsome face was filled with a worried expression.

While he was staring intently at Fae, Amelia was staring at him deeply. 

"They will look for you. You have to go back to the hall," said Amelia breaking the silence. "You have a speech to make, on behalf of the king."

"Hmm .." Ren instead grabbed Fae's hand and squeezed it gently. He didn't want to return to the hall. He was distraught, seeing how his wife lying motionless in bed.

KNOCK KNOCK

The door was knocked and entered a royal guard with Doctor Lehmann, who came hurrying.

"Good evening, Sir. I came here immediately when Lady Amelia called .." said Doctor Lehmann. He immediately went to bed and took out his medical bag. "Did Madame pass out?"

"Yes. I think she's under a lot of stress," said Ren. He got up from the edge of the bed and invited Doctor Lehmann to examine Fae.

KNOCK KNOCK

He turned towards the door with an annoyed face. 

Who else would dare bother him like this?

A man dressed all in black immediately walked in and bowed respectfully to him. "Your Highness, His Majesty King Gustav wants to see you."

Amelia touched Ren's arm and nodded. "I told you they'll be looking for you. If you're gone missing for too long, they'll be suspicious. You'd better go back to the hall."

Ren looked very reluctant. He turned to Fae, who was lying unconscious on the bed. Seeing that Ren was so worried about Fae, Amelia felt her chest burn with anger. However, she tried to restrain herself and still put a smile on her face.

"Don't worry. We have Doctor Lehmann here. I'll stay with him too until Fae wakes up."

Ren sighed. 

"King Gustav said he requested your presence to give a speech on behalf of the royal family," said the officer again.

Ren waved and sent the man away. "I'm not deaf! You go first. I'll be there in a minute."

The man looked very scared. He immediately bowed deeply and then left. Ren got up from his chair and sat back down on the edge of the bed. He looked at Doctor Lehmann and asked for an explanation.

"How is her condition?"

"Hmm ... her pulse is very weak. Maybe Madame is really stressed. She needs to have bed rest. I will prescribe some vitamins and medicine for her ..." said Doctor Henry after removing the stethoscope.

"She is pregnant. Don't give her the usual medicines," said Ren. 

Amelia frowned when she heard Ren's words just now. 

W-what did he say? Fae is pregnant?

Amelia had never felt the anger and hurt she felt right now.
