Chapter 315 (2/2)

“Shut up! Keep it secret. If my pregnancy is leaked, you know that we are all dead, right? Besides, they might start a war between the two kingdoms.”

“Yes, of course. I’ll keep it secret.”

“Then get out. Again, be sure to watch your mouth.”

After warning the doctor severely, who rolled his eyes nervously, she was lost in thought. She had no idea what to do.

She paced up and down in her room for a while, then she made up her mind firmly. If they knew about her pregnancy, Sir Feden would not avoid being killed.

She didn’t care about the damage to the Lisa kingdom because of her pregnancy because she had no affection for it anyway. Gillian’s case was different. She thought she must save his life. She had to take some measures before her pregnancy was leaked.

“Go back.”

“Your Majesty.”

“Let me forget what happened today. So, leave my room right now.”

Her heart sank at the crown prince’s cold look. While blankly looking at him turning coldly, she left the crown prince’s palace, feeling dejected.

She made a hollow smile in spite of herself. She trembled with shame when she recalled a little while ago when she tried to seduce him by all means. What’s the difference between a prostitute who sold her body to make money and her who seduced the crown prince to protect the man she loved?

“Where have you been?”

When she entered her room with a weary heart, Gillian stopped her, holding his lips tightly. She suddenly stepped back before she knew it, feeling him staring at her intensely unfamiliar.

Avoiding him who walked toward her with strides, she kept moving back until she had her back against the cold wall. She said in a trembling voice, overwhelmed by his imposing posture.

“Oh, I went out for a walk…”

“You mean without me, your bodyguard? How could you do that here in a foreign country?”

“Well, I just felt jammed up inside…”

“Whew! I hear that you have been to the crown prince’s palace. Why did you go there?”

“Well…”

Gillian asked in a firm voice when she tried to avoid his eyes, “What are you hiding from me?”

“Oh, I’ve got nothing…”

“Aren’t you hiding something from me since the royal doctor came here to check your condition? I pretended I didn’t notice it, but I insist I want to hear from you. What the heck is it that you are trying to hide from me desperately?”

“…”

“Your Highness!”

Suddenly choked up with emotions when he called her gently, she began to tell him the truth, wiping her tears.

Gillian’s eyes, who listened to her story silently, were shocked, but only briefly. He then slowly reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering in a low voice, “I’m sorry to have given you such a big burden… I’m so sorry, Your Highness.”

“What should I do now? If they find out about my pregnancy…”

“How many people know about your pregnancy? Only you, me and the royal doctor, right?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Please leave it to me and feel comfortable. Let me take care of it.”

She felt relaxed by his reassuring voice and patting her on the shoulder. Feeling greatly relieved, she leaned into his arms with a brighter expression after a long time. She knew it would not be easy to resolve this matter, but she just thought everything would be fine.

“Choose. War or exile? ”

One day when she was barely getting by as if walking on a tightrope, the crown prince suddenly visited her and spat out harshly, which broke her peace altogether.

Watching her with a stoneface, who was shuddering with fear, he said, “If you want war, let me do as you wish. If you don’t, I would like to make one suggestion. ”

“Ugh? what is your suggestion?”

“Well, I think I have to tell you this first. I already know that your baby’s father is your bodyguard. So, don’t even try to make any excuses about it. ”

“Well, how did you know that…?”
