 PLEASE KEEP COMMENTING AND VOTING! ❤

If Laila's face was hot, it is definitely boiling red right now! What did he just say to her?

"Don't you dare embarrass me" she warns, trying to snap him out of his trance, but he holds her in place, kissing her neck.

"I'm not trying to embarrass you, princess, only showing you how much I love you."

"In front of your guards?" she asks, gasping when she feels his hand land on her hips, gradually moving up her dress.

"My Lord please...you're embarrassing me," she says, feeling tears in her eyes! The physician had told her that crying a lot over the most irrelevant things is common during pregnancy, it's clear he was right.

Stephan chuckles when he sees her crying, her pregnancy is messing with her emotions a lot. He adjusts her dress, wiping her tears, and kissing her cheeks.

"I'm sorry princess," he says smiling. Sniffing she slaps his hand away, her face red, as she frowns at him.

"Don't talk to me." He watches her walk back to their chambers, before turning to look at his guards, their faces red.

"Whenever you see something like that, I expect you to disappear. Looking longer than a second will get your eyes gouged, understand?"
"Yes, My Lord!" they say, feeling sweat break out on their foreheads.

Nodding, he walks into the room, trying his best not to laugh, as his woman cries on the bed.

"Princess-"

"Don't talk to me!" she exclaims, throwing a pillow at him. Catching the pillow, he walks to the bed, where she is crying, "They...were...looking...at me...and...it was...embarrassing," she says in between her sobs.

"They were looking because you're so beautiful, Sweet Pea. Don't worry I told them, never to look at you again."

"What?!" she sits up, her eyes puffy, looking at him. Stephan bites his lip, holding back his laughter, she's too cute.

"Then, everyone will avoid me!" she cries, falling back on the bed, crying.

Stephan feels a bit bad, he probably took it too far.

"They won't, I promise," he says, lying down and bringing her close to him, wrapping his arms around her. She looks at him, as he wipes away her tears. "...Okay." 

Smiling, he pecks her lips, before touching her belly, rubbing it, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine..."

"And the babies?"
She detaches herself from him, sitting up, and resting her back on the headboard, "fine, but they're kicking me more often," she groans. The king lifts up her dress, exposing her bare belly, which is getting much bigger, definitely bigger than Saya's when she was six months nearing the seventh, but it's obviously because she's carrying twins.

Laying a kiss on her belly, they both see the kick, followed by another. "Don't give your mother a hard time, she's using every strength she has to make sure the both of you are healthy," he says, rubbing her belly, before moving to place a kiss on Laila's lips.

"So...who was she?" she asks, after his kiss.

Noticing his sigh, and him, pulling down her dress, she gets worried, taking his hand.

Stephan gives her a tight smile before saying, "I will be going to war soon."

Laila frowns feeling her heart drop, "W-war? With whom? You already defeated the Resistance."

"I know Sweet Pea, that woman earlier was a slave that had escaped from her kingdom. She sought refuge here, and the number of slaves coming here is growing."
