Chapter 137
Proofreader: somnium
The teacup shattered into pieces. Since it was Artizea’s living room, there was still a white rug on the floor, but there was a big red stain on it.
People panicked and looked at Cedric quickly.
“Are you hurt, Your Grace?”
“No, it was cold tea. It’s okay.”
Cedric waved his hand half out of his mind. And he looked back at the doctor with a confused look.
“Tia, you mean she has a child?”
“Yes, she is pregnant.”
The doctor answered in a slightly perplexed manner. It was because Cedric didn’t seem to know at all.

Some of the vassals, including Ansgar, who kept their secrets and watched, sighed in relief. Others widened their eyes.
“I haven’t been watching Her Grace continuously, I’ll have to take a look again to be sure, but it’ll be between 12 and 14 weeks.”
At the doctor’s words, Cedric asked, stunned.
“Why didn’t anyone tell me about this important thing?”
He didn’t even think about it.
At one day, he was thinking about it. However, it was a vague ‘later’ thing, when various things were sorted out and Artizea’s body became a little healthier.
Even after he made up his mind to start a family, he hadn’t yet imagined his house with children running around.
Above all else, there were too many opportunities, to be told, to expect a child first out of the blue.
Ansgar said cautiously.

“We were all pretending not to know because Her Grace didn’t seem to want to talk about it.”
“Careful ladies may deliberately not speak until it is a time of reassurance. Sometimes they only see doctors brought from their family.”
The doctor also said,
“This is not the case now, but there are many cases where the fetus is threatened due to disputes over inheritance. They are excited about the heir, but are also concerned about disappointing the people in the family.”
“Right.”
Cedric answered in a distressed mood. He thought there was some truth to what Ansgar and the doctor said, but he couldn’t move on to saying that it is so. It didn’t seem like Artizea was hiding it for that reason.
Artizea should have told him the news. If she was worried, rather more.
If she wanted to hide the fact of her pregnancy from him, she would have tried to hide it from herself and not from anyone else.
“Tia, is she okay?”

That was the only word that came out.
The doctor seemed a little relieved. That was easy enough for him to answer.
“Her Grace may be weak, but don’t worry too much. The baby is well established, and Her Grace can take care of herself and build up stamina. But for the time being, she must be absolutely stable.”
“I see.”
Cedric answered so.
It was only then that a tactless knight took the lead and shouted.
“Congratulations, Your Grace!”
“Shh, be quiet.”
“It’s right next to Her Grace’s bedroom.”

Tackles came in straight from both sides and silenced the knight.
The words of congratulations were delivered only in a soft voice. It was not long after Artizea collapsed under persecution from the temple. The doctor said there would be no problem, but it was not a situation to celebrate loudly.
There are still many urgent tasks left. Now was the time to be angry.
Although fully aware of it, all the people of Evron mansion could not hide their joy.
Until now, the older vassals and knights were waiting without saying a word, even though they had guessed. They also smiled happily at the doctor’s confirmation.
It can be said that it is only when there is a successor that he has established himself as the master of a family.
Until now, there was only one direct blood relative in the Grand Duchy Evron’s family, Cedric.
Although it is said that he was married, it is true that people were anxious until the birth of an heir.
But now, even Grand Duchy Evron, who was until now in peril, will finally rise to the top.

They couldn’t help but be happy to hear such good news at the right time following the wedding.
Since the Grand Duchess was of young age, they thought they would have to wait slowly for two or three years or more.
As Cedric headed to Artizea’s bedroom, excited vassals and knights followed.
Ansgar stopped them. Even Alphonse tried to sneak in, but was blocked by Ansgar.
Only Hayley could follow Cedric into the bedroom.
Artizea was buried deep in the soft bed. All of her clothes were taken off and she was made comfortable. Her tousled hair was scattered over the pillow.
Marcus was rubbing her feet, then he saw Cedric and stood up. Alice, who had cooled the slightly feverish forehead with cool water and brushed her hair, also stood up. Her eyes were dyed bright red.
Sophie went all the way to the corner, sobbed, then stood up and hid her face with the apron.
Rather than rejoicing that Artizea was pregnant, she felt more sorrow for being in a difficult situation and was confused. Artizea got married and she came out of the Rosan mansion, so Sophie thought she’d never have something like this happen to her again.

Sophie, however, would have been unable to show her tears while everyone was delighted that she had conceived.
“If she sleeps well for a day or two, she will wake up.”
The doctor said in a low voice. Cedric looked at Alice and asked.
“Is there no doctor that Tia sees separately?”
“There is none.”
Alice bowed her head like a sinner. Cedric waved his hand to the people.
“Leave.”
“Your Grace.”
Hayley opened her mouth.

“Aren’t you happy?”
There was a realization that the question was too far-fetched. But she couldn’t bear to not ask.
Now that Lysia was away, no one could have asked that word on behalf of Artizea, if it weren’t for her.
