NOVEL NEXT chapter 77
77 – Someone loses the fight (3)
A month and a week has passed since I declared that I would choose to become pregnant first.
From what I have researched, menstruation is not the same and the cycle varies slightly from person to person.
So, it is correct to wait about a week more.
Neither Liana nor Ciliapari had yet delivered the news first.
I stopped having s*x on the one-month anniversary, so I don’t know what Cilia Paris is doing now.
It often stood like a ghost in the corner of a dark hallway and scared the employees.
Liana looked at her work with a bright expression, as if she had already predicted victory.
But she did not bring up her words regarding pregnancy.
Another week has passed since then.
Now that one month and two weeks have passed, it is time to come to a conclusion somehow.
But neither Liana nor Ciliapari said anything.
Before the storm.
This is the most appropriate word to express the current atmosphere of Yeongju Castle.
Around that time, Keita, who had gone to study Caple Tower, returned.
The end of the robe was torn by something and was a mess.
“I was bitten by the dog that was guarding the coffin inside the tower.”
“Oh my. So?”
“I barely escaped using illusion magic. I almost got chewed up along with my robe.”
“Thank goodness. Well done.”
Keita didn’t know what to do with the compliment and her face blushed.
“But… That…”
“Are you talking about pregnancy struggles? Nothing special yet.”
“Hasn’t it been over a month?”
“It’s over. I was already planning to ask you when you came. Do you ever miss your period?”
Keita was startled by my question and flinched.
“Well… You ask such a question so casually…”
“Ah, can’t I just ask questions?”
“Hmm… It can be perceived a bit sensitively depending on the person…”
“Really? What about you?”
“I…”
Keita, who was silent for a moment, spoke hesitantly.
“It’s okay if you’re a lord…”
“Then will you answer me?”
“There are times when I skip it for various reasons… But… I don’t know… That’s unlikely to happen…”
“Hmm… I see. Then let’s wait a little longer.”
Keita just scratched her head timidly, her face red.
“But how was the research at Capel Tower? Was it successful?’
“Ah, yes. I found out a lot. You’ll probably be surprised when you hear it.”
At that time, there was a knock on the office door.
“My lord.”
“Wow…! It’s the Chamberlain…!”
Keita was scared and was struggling as if he was looking for a place to hide.
All you have to do is teleport, but you seem too embarrassed to think about it.
“Sin… I’m sorry…!”
Keita came around her desk and crawled into the space under my legs.
“Be sure to go there…”
“If the Lord Chamberlain sees me and my lord alone, the Chamberlain will definitely…”
Before Keita finished speaking, Liana opened the door and came in.
In her hand, she was holding something that looked like a rolled up rag.
Keita covered his mouth with both hands and curled his body into a ball under the desk.
“Liana. What’s going on?”
“My lord. I can finally tell you good news.”
Liana spoke charmingly with eyes as wide as a crescent moon.
“Hmm. I think I know roughly what you’re going to say.”
“Would you like to guess?”
“Are you pregnant?”
Liana nodded her head and caressed her lower abdomen with her free hand.
“It’s been a long time since her period was due, but nothing has changed. There’s our baby inside… Right?”
“I see.”
Liana snorted as if she was somewhat upset at my calm reaction.
“Aren’t you happy? That you will have a child who looks half like me and your lord?”
Instead of answering, she called her personal secretary.
“Go and tell Cilia Paris to come.”
Liana smiled at my instructions.
“Finally, I won’t see that insidious dragon.”
Liana approached her softly and sat down on the edge of her desk.
Even though he was the second-in-command of the territory, it was presumptuous.
But now, Liana was acting like this not as a chamberlain, but as a companion who was pregnant with my child.
When Liana sat down on her desk and heard a creaking sound, her Keita, who was hiding under her desk, squeezed his eyes shut.
“I can work for a while, but if I get too full, I’ll have to get an agent for a while.”
“We’ll talk about that again later.”
“Perhaps it would be better to build a mansion in a quiet place within the territory.”
“We’ll talk about that then too.”
Soon Ciliapari entered the office.
She looked much darker and more gloomy than usual.
It almost felt as if black waves were slowly rippling across her shoulders and back.
Her lips were dry and her skin was pale and bloodless.
The shadows under her eyes became darker and it looked like a corpse was walking around.
“Ergaduk… Did you call me…?”
“A month and two weeks have passed. But there was no word, so I called to check in person.”
Ciliapari’s body seemed to shrivel at my words.
In inverse proportion to that, her dark energy grows bigger and bigger…
“Liana, she said she’s pregnant. How about you?”
Sparks flew into Ciliafari’s eyes.
“Are you saying that human b*tch… Is pregnant…?”
But it was only a moment, and the emotion that came after that was fear.
“Is there any evidence… Is there any evidence…?”
“They say you don’t menstruate anymore.”
“That can’t be evidence!”
Ciliafly suddenly screamed.
Her momentum was so fierce that the corners of Liana’s mouth twitched slightly.
Keita under her desk almost hit her head on her desk.
“That’s a lie from that cunning b*tch, Ergaduk!”
Celia Paris screamed as if she were screaming.
Keita’s face was completely pale and her pitiful shoulders were shaking like aspen trees.
But instead of Liana stepping back, she got off the desk and took a step forward.
Liana is a strong woman, and the harder she hits, the harder she gets.
“So, did you do that?”
“Me too… I didn’t bleed either…! I don’t have that menstrual period!”
“I think it’s you, not me, who is the cunning b*tch. Coal lizard?”
Liana threw what looked like a rag in her hand at Celia Paris’ face.
Ciliapari was frozen in a humiliating situation that he had never faced before in his life, unable to say anything.
“I got scolded for holding in the smell. Do you know what that is?”
The cloth that fell at Ciliafari’s feet was stained with dark red blood.
“Your underwear. I hid it under the bed.”
“This is…”
Liana smiled wickedly.
“Instead of hiding it, it should have been completely eliminated. And if you were going to hide it, were you protecting it thoroughly?”
Liana turned her gaze from Celia Paris, who was standing like a stone statue, to me.
“My lord. That’s underwear stained with the dragon’s menstrual blood.”
“Is that so?”
“You may not believe it, but is it true? I secretly went into the bedroom and took it while the dragon was chasing the lord. I expected it to try to deceive ‘us’.”
Celia Paris slowly bent down and picked up her underwear.
“How dare you…”
The underwear in her hand suddenly began to smoke and burn.
“How dare… To a mere lowly human being…”
In an instant, a flame erupted and the half-burnt underwear turned into ashes.
The cilia fly roared, crushing the ash.
「How dare you try to mess with a dragon!!」
Rock dust fell from the ceiling and the cup on the desk tumbled and shattered.
The moment a deadly magical energy flowed from Siliafari’s body, a dazzling ray of light shot out from Liana’s hand.
Celia Paris avoided it with the senses of a beast, but half of her hair ended up evaporating.
And.
“aaah!”
Unable to bear it, Keita screamed and crawled out of her desk.
At the sudden appearance of the territory wizard, both Ciliafari and Liana stopped what they were doing.
“Wizard…? Why are you coming out there?”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I didn’t do anything… It’s true. Please believe me…”
Keita bowed to Liana and prayed.
“Keita returned from studying Caple Tower for a month and was reporting his results to me. When you came in at that time, he was afraid and hid here.”
Liana tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand my explanation.
“Why are you afraid?”
“I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand that I’m alone in the office and question you. Keita is scared of you, Liana.”
“Yes…?”
Liana smiled at Keita.
“Ahahahaha… I can’t do that, wizard.”
But even the sound of her laughter was so creepy that Keita raised both her hands as if trying to cover her ears, but then quickly lowered them in shock.
Liana turned her attention away from Keita and looked at Ciliafly, who was standing there with a black aura.
“Have you already forgotten what you said, my lord? You told me not to cause any more trouble, right? And.”
Liana snapped her fingers.
“If you lose, just admit defeat and get out of the way. The lord’s fiancé, who can’t even accept Agi?”
I admire Liana for her honesty.
How could he act like that in front of an angry black dragon?
So, he must have been able to escape from the royal castle at a young age and survive until now.
But…
Ciliafari does not give in easily.
She probably wouldn’t know if she had gone through a more moderate procedure. If Liana came out like that, she would never back down, even if it was just her pride.
“Hey… I’m sorry we were fighting…”
Keita hesitated and opened her mouth.
“If we can’t decide… Can I… Make a suggestion…?”
“Tell me.”
“It is said that in an ancient civilization… There was a way to check for pregnancy… Through urine…”
“Is there such a thing?”
According to Keita, if she urinates in a flower pot with barley on it and it germinates, she is pregnant. *
It may seem absurd at first glance, but according to literature, more than 80% of people guessed right.
“If you two fight more… I don’t think I can hold out… So I’m telling you there is a way…”
“Very good, Keita.”
I immediately ordered my personal secretary to prepare two pots with barley planted in them.
Soon, two small flower pots arrived in the office.
I gave instructions while looking at Ciliafari and Liana.
“From now on, pee in the flower pot in front of me.”
“Yes…?!”
When Cilia Paris was frightened, he cracked down on it strictly.
“This is a measure taken because you never know what might happen in a place you can’t see.”
