Chapter 307 - Pregnancy Symptoms (2) (2/2)

I giggled looking at Anatalia's joyful face, even though she knew we would probably lie if we told Regaleon that.

”No.” I shook my head. ”I will tell him the truth. I do not want to lie to him.”

Regaleon and I are husband and wife. At best, I do not want to lie any longer. I will confess to him why I hide my pregnancy. I am afraid that he would get angry, but I am sure we can work on this.

”How is my wife?” Out of the blue, we heard Regaleon's voice. He just came back from talking with Chris.

”Oh, um well…” Anatalia was looking at me. ”It is probably the best if Alicia tells it to you personally. So, I am off.” She smiled and quickly walked away.

”I will also take my leave your majesty.” William bowed. ”You and her majesty need to talk in private.” He said straight forwardly.

William silently left us alone. Regaleon was both confused and worried at the same time.

”Is there a problem my love?” Regaleon looked at me worriedly.

”L-Leon, we need to talk.” I said with nervousness.

”What is it?” Regaleon said and sat on the ground facing me. He held my hand and solely caressed them. ”You can tell me anything.”

”Well you see… ummm… its because I…” I was certain I would tell him about the pregnancy now, but my words started to jumble in my mouth.

”Take it slowly my love.” Regaleon said as he caressed my cheek. ”Take a deep breath and start again.”

I took Regaleon's advice and took a deep breath. After that I looked at Regaleon firmly.

”My love…” I started. ”I am pregnant.” I told him at last.

The words I was hiding from him for a week was now out of the bag. Regaleon at first was clearly shocked, but then a wide smile formed from his beautiful lips.

”You are pregnant… really?!” Regaleon cannot contain his excitement any longer. I nodded at him in reply. ”My god, Alicia… this is the best day of my life.” He quickly pulled me into his embrace.

I can feel his happiness brimming out. He was so happy to know that we have conceived a child in such a short time.

”So that is why you did not look good.” Regaleon said. ”How are you feeling right now? Do you feel sick? I think it would be best if we go back to the capital of Alvannia right away. It is not good for you to be out in the open.”

Regaleon's tone was so excited, I can see he was so happy with the news. I am so guilty not telling him the first time I have known about my pregnancy.

”My love, I have something to confess.” I said with a sad smile. ”I have made a sin of not telling you about the pregnancy when I knew of it.”

Regaleon looked at me with disbelief. ”You knew? When?” He asked.

”After the battle with the mermaids.” I said with a guilty conscience.

”It was… a week or so ago?” Regaleon said with a disbelieving tone. ”That long, why did you not tell me?”

”I am sorry my love.” I said and tears were rushing down my eyes, I was feeling such guilt of not telling him. ”I was selfish. I do not want to tell you in believing that you would send me back to the capital and you will continue the quest to search for the key fragments. It is my fault, I do not want to part form you even for a second.” Tears were overflowing from my eyes nonstop.

Regaleon wiped my tears with his thumb gently. But when I looked at his face, all I could see is hurt. I have hurt my husband.

”Do you not have trust in me?” Regaleon said with a bitter smile. ”Do you think I would abandon you knowing that you are carrying my child, our child?” I can clearly see that I have hurt his feelings.

”I am sorry, Leon.” I said also hurting. ”I am at fault. Please, don't get mad at me.” I pleaded.

Regaleon sighed heavily and looked at me with sad eyes. ”My Alicia, I am not mad you. I am just… hurt.” His voice cracked. ”This feeling of mine… will pass. I just need to take a walk.”

Regaleon gave me a kiss in the forehead and stood up. My heart was racing, quickly grabbing his hand, preventing him from leaving. He patted my head and gently took off my hand holding his.

”Do not worry, I will not be long.” Regaleon said. ”I will call Tricia over to look after you.”

I was not able to stop Regaleon from leaving. I knew what he said was true, but I was afraid of being left by him. My heart twisted in pain.

”This is my fault. I have hurt him.” I said while clenching my hurting chest.
