TSFHA- Part 2 Chapter 37



Vania's never-ending gagging.

“Hey, clear this food over here!”

Nike pointed to the table and gave orders to the servants.

“Ugh.”

"Ha, it looks like even smelling it is painful. Hurry up!"

Ryan squeezed his eyes shut.

'Ugh, don't act so quickly like you already know why my body is in this state!'

The situation has gone dark, but they are managing it.

It needs to be resolved.

Ryan opened his eyes.

He met the Crown Prince's eyes. He, too, had his mouth agape.

'...? Your Highness, why the surprised look again?! What do you take my younger sibling for?!'

While the servants were clearing away the food plates near Vania.

Nike put his arm around Vania's shoulder and looked at her with a worried expression, as if he were in more pain.

Watching that, Ryan rubbed his face vigorously.

You sound just like someone who is so... so... worried about your pregnant girlfriend suffering from morning sickness!

"The fact that she didn't feel well was..."

At that moment, the Crown Princess, who had been frozen with a surprised look on her face, opened her mouth.

“Uh, where, uh, is it bad?”

She even stammers.

Ryan understood how shocked the Crown Princess, who knew nothing about the situation, must have been.

A situation where a royal heir might be conceived!

A tremendous joyous occasion for the imperial family, where heirs are precious!

'...Would you?!!!'

For this situation to be considered auspicious, Nike and Vania had to be in a normal married relationship.

However, at this point, the royal wedding has not even taken place yet.

'An unmarried, newly-adult noble lady is pregnant with an imperial grandson?'

This is a problem that could deal a fatal blow to the prestige of the Imperial Family.

Isn't he even an imperial grandson who holds the right to the throne!

When the 'royal family' caused trouble, the scale was completely different from when the nobles, who sometimes even fathered illegitimate children, caused trouble.

'Wait. But why am I worried about this?'

Vania was not pregnant.

You just need to say no.

Worried that the Crown Princess might faint while he was hesitating, Ryan quickly opened his mouth.

"Your Highness! Since the situation may lead to a misunderstanding, let me say a few words..."

"Ugh!"

“…”

Ryan's words, which had been spoken rapidly, gently scattered away.

"This won't work."

Nike helped Vania stand up.

"She is not feeling well and will not be able to continue eating. I apologize for leaving first."

And, he slipped out of the luncheon room like the wind.

***

Emergency!

Nike was on his way to the Crown Prince with Ryan, who had come looking for him saying something terrible had happened as soon as he took Vania to his room.

Ryan reportedly clarified on the spot that it wasn't true, but the Crown Princess didn't seem to believe him at all.

'It couldn't be helped.'

His brother is the one who knows the whole truth, but his sister-in-law is not.

From her perspective, she must have been suspicious of Nike, who had been postponing the marriage for so long and was now suddenly saying that they needed to hurry.

In the midst of that, a situation unfolded as if the missed puzzle pieces were fitting together perfectly.

Even if he said it was a misunderstanding, he had no choice but to believe it.

But? That's a complete misunderstanding.

Vania isn't pregnant, and she hasn't done anything that could make that possibility possible!

However...

“How do I prove it's not true?”

Nike, who had been rushing his steps, suddenly became worried.

He must clear up the misunderstanding while keeping silent about secrets that must be protected more heavily than life itself, including the fact that Vania is a person with supernatural abilities.

Will that work?

"If I show Vania to the doctor, will he know?"

"I'm not a god, so how can I tell just by looking at the surface? It would be possible if the doctor were a superpowered individual with a blessing like 'Pregnancy Detection.'"

"Does such a supernatural ability exist?"

Nike turned around in surprise.

"Would there be?!"

“…”

The two continued walking.

"For now, I have no choice but to tell my brother the truth about Vania's condition and ask him to clear up the Crown Princess's misunderstanding in returning."

"As expected, you consistently choose to pass the buck to your brother."

Steps are getting faster and faster.

Just as the Crown Prince's room came into view in the distance.

The two encountered the Crown Princess, who looked as if she had just come out of there.

It seemed she had also spoken with the Crown Prince about the current situation.

"Your Highness! I..."

The moment Ryan was about to speak.

The Crown Princess glanced at Nike with cold eyes and sped past.

“…”

“…”

Two men were left all alone in the hallway.

Ryan was speechless and covered his gaping mouth.

Nike, who had paused for a moment, quickened his pace again.

“Your Highness!”

Ryan followed behind, worried.

"What, what am I supposed to do about this situation? She looked at you as if you were the absolute lowest of the low."

"It's okay. I'm used to these kinds of misunderstandings."

"What?! No, I said, don't get used to this kind of thing~!!!"

***

I caused a huge mess.

No one can easily accept it without revealing all the secrets that must be guarded more heavily than life itself...

My relationship with Nike.

Reasons why we must rush into marriage.

I ended up personally creating a misunderstanding that adds clear plausibility to all those things.

The whole world is driving me to the edge of a cliff.

But?

Accidents can be resolved.

I hate to admit it, but my father's blood flows in me too. I have predicted about four moves ahead, if not ten.

First, verse 1. The Crown Princess will come to find me.

"Lady Belzer, Her Highness the Crown Princess has just arrived. She wishes to speak with you if you are feeling well."

I expected it!

"Of course. Anytime."

Soon, the Crown Princess entered my room. A woman with a strict appearance was also with her.

"I am sorry for ruining the luncheon you went to such great lengths to host, Your Highness."

I bowed politely as I greeted her.

The Crown Princess stared at me intently.

In her complex gaze...

2nd, she feels sorry for me.

I expected it!

The Crown Princess is someone who will feel sorry for me before facing the daunting situation of having to clean up the mess.

Given her personality, if she wanted to hold someone accountable, it would be Nike, not me, a woman, young, and of low status.

His image must have become that of a complete scumbag to the Crown Princess!

But don't worry, darling.

I'll take care of it all.

"I was not accustomed to such a long journey and failed to take good care of my health. Although I knew I was not feeling well, I overexerted myself out of excitement at Your Highness's invitation. I apologize for causing you concern."

"No. It is understandable, given the arduous journey. It was my mistake not to consider enough, so please do not worry. However, since you are a distinguished guest at the Imperial Palace..."

3rd attempt will be made to diagnose whether I am pregnant.

"I need to assess your condition and assist you if treatment is necessary. She's a doctor at the Imperial Palace. Could you answer a few questions for the diagnosis?"

I expected it!

I even guessed that the woman the Crown Princess brought was a royal doctor!

"Of course, Your Highness. I will answer faithfully."

I followed the imperial doctor and sat on the bed.

She will start with a question about the fourth month and the period.

"Is your menstrual cycle regular?"

I expected it!

"Yes, it is scheduled. I finished last month's work a week ago."

Ha ha ha!

There is absolutely no way I could be pregnant!

“…”

“…”

The Crown Princess and the Imperial doctor exchanged glances for a moment.

Eventually, the Crown Princess spoke to me.

“I say this because you seem unaware of the gravity of the situation, even though you understand the intention behind this question, but the question of whether an unmarried woman is pregnant with an imperial grandson is no ordinary matter.”

"..."

"I don't mean to scare you, but if you lie, you'll have to be prepared for reprimand. Would your answer be the same if I asked again?"

"...Yes? Yes, yes. It seems so."

"Really?"

"Yes..."

The Crown Princess raised her trembling hands and covered her face.

"Your Highness? What, what is wrong!"

“…”

There is no fifth move. This is...

I didn't expect that!

I can't believe you wouldn't believe me even after I told you my period dates~~!!
