Chapter 37: Running Away After Getting Pregnant with the Tyrant’s Child (6)

–

It was at that moment—.

“Your Highness Tarkan!”

As soon as the door opened, an urgent voice rang out.

“What is the matter?”

“We have it! Permission has been granted!”

Hearing that, Tarkan and of course, the court ladies, were delighted.

“There is nothing in the way now.”

Tarkan nodded.

“Now, let’s go rescue my wife from the clutches of that damn kidnapper.”

Aristine felt a wave spreading from her belly and hugged her stomach. The wave wasn’t intense enough to be painful. However, it felt deeper than usual.

As if it was trying to tell her something.

“Is it because baby knows that Daddy is coming too?”

Since Tarkan said he was coming to her side, he was surely going to be here soon.

Aristine smiled and stroked her flat stomach.

She wanted to give her child a nickname rather than just saying ‘baby’, but she kept putting it off because she wanted to choose it with Tarkan.

“When Daddy comes, we’ll choose a pretty nickname for you toget...”

In the middle of talking to the baby in her womb, Aristine’s voice faded away.

Because when she lifted her head while stroking her stomach, she saw the water in the water bowl flicker.

It was the bowl that Launelian had used to wipe off her sweat.

Aristine looked down at her stomach then back at the water bowl.

This was obviously a manifestation of the Monarch’s Sight.

When the water surface stopped trembling, it revealed the face of her husband, whom she was wholly longing to see.

‘Khan...’

Aristine’s face hardened as she watched the water surface.

[Ah...]

A young noble lady exclaimed as she bumped into Tarkan while passing through the hallway.

Tarkan reflexively caught the falling woman in his arms.

Her alluring wavy blonde hair flitted gently in the air. It was a beautiful shade of blonde that glistened like honey.

Slowly, the woman raised her head.

Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her pale green eyes, like newly blossomed flowers in the spring, looked up at Tarkan.

[Oh dear, I’m sorry.]

The woman apologized to Tarkan.

Tarkan’s eyes trembled.

He couldn’t take his eyes off the woman in his arms.

The moment Tarkan opened his mouth to say something, the water surface shook.

“...”

As the water surface settled, it longer reflected Tarkan’s appearance.

It only reflects Aristine’s face, who was looking down at the water with a stiff expression.

Aristine clenched her fists.

“Letanasia...”

Her half-sister’s name escaped through her breath.

Perhaps it had been too long since she said that name or perhaps there was some other reason, but the name tingled at the tip of her tongue.

She was still the same.

That soft gaze, and big, doe eyes.

A charming appearance truly befitting of a princess who grew up treated as the most precious thing in the world.

‘Unlike me.’

Right then.

The water surface began to tremble again.

A sign that something new would be shown on the mirrored surface.
