Chapter 110

HAPPY READING

The Queen gave birth to a baby girl. Jungkook heard of the princess' birth while he was with the King. When Namjoon heard that a princess was born, he was greatly delighted.

"Hahaha! A princess?"

It was not a fake mask; Namjoon was truly delighted. Jungkook had heard the King say in passing, several times, that he wanted a baby girl. Jungkook just let it pass since it wasn't any of his concern but seeing Namjoon's vivid delight made him feel strange. Namjoon already had three sons, so Jungkook didn't know why having one more child was making him so excited.

"Gong, isn't it time to hear news from you too?"

"...Not yet."

"Think about it, a daughter that resembles the Duchess whom you treasure so much. Well, this King has to go see the Princess. A princess, huh. It's a princess."

The King cancelled the rest of his afternoon schedule, so Jungkook was on the way home, earlier than usual. Inside of the carriage, Jungkook gave a long sigh. News of the princess' birth would soon reach his wife.

The sight of his wife being unable to take her gaze off the Queen protruding stomach still floated in his mind.

[If someone knowing your secret will bring you pain, you don't need to tell anyone.]

Looking back on it, she showed unconditional understanding. She didn't ask for the exact reason why Jungkook didn't want a child, she just accepted it.

[...But the secret could cause you pain.]

[If that happens, I'll cling to you for answers.]

His wife lied. No matter how much pain his secret caused her, she was the type to swallow it down alone, and never cling to him for an answer.

'I have to...tell her.'

When he got home, his wife was out. The tea party she said that she would be attending today was not yet over. After asking Jisung to notify him when his wife returned, he went into his office. Not long after, he heard that his wife had returned and went out to meet her.

"How come you're here?"

Lisa was happy as if she had received an unexpected gift. She smiled brightly and nestled into his arms.

"Was the tea party fun?"

"It was a little enjoyable."

Jungkook wrapped an arm around her waist and they engaged in light banter as they went up to the second floor.

"Why are you back early today?"

Lisa entered the receiving room, following his lead, and sat down on the sofa.

"You will hear the news soon. A princess was born."

"Oh my, that's great. Princess Jennie mentioned quite a few times that she wanted the baby to be a girl."

And every time, Lisa answered Jennie with, 'it will be a beautiful princess.' Jennie thought she was just saying it out of courtesy, but Lisa already knew that a princess would be born.

"His Majesty was also happy."

Jungkook grew quiet and the conversation went dead momentarily. Seeing him this way, Lisa could feel that there was something difficult for him to get out, and a worry emerged in her mind.

"Nothing happened to Soobin, right?"

"...Why Soobin, all of a sudden?"

"I think because we were talking about a newborn baby, my mind went to Soobin."
