"Beatrix, it is still about my friend who is an official's son. Do you still remember his problem?" He smoothly asked her, trying to sound casual about it.
"Yeah, what about it?" She immediately replied.
"He successfully married his fiancee but his wife still did not know about what happened. He thought of convincing his wife to adopt the child as their own. Do you think it is a good decision?" He carefully presented the situation, trying to gauge her reaction.
"I do not know. It will depend on what type of person his wife is." She replied directly as she did not know the answer and she did not like putting her nose into another person's life. "I am not his wife so I do not know if it is good or not."
"But what if you are the wife, do you think it is a good idea or not?" Prince Andrew pressed the situation more. He needs to predict her reaction because his happiness is at stake! Any wrong move might cost him everything!
Beatrix became silent and thought deeply for a moment as she considered everything...
My life is a mess. I do not know the future. I might even die tomorrow... Who knows? I even died giving birth once so getting pregnant and giving birth scares me a lot. If a child from another woman is already existing, do I still have a choice? I only know one thing, I am very tired... I just want to live a long and peaceful life...
Soon, she gave him a gentle and sweet smile.
"Andrew, if you bring another woman's child into our marriage... It is great!" He sighed a relief but was devastated by her next words... "It means I will not need to get pregnant!" She blurted out.
"What do you mean?" He immediately asked even though he had a feeling that he will never like her next words.
"You already have a child and heir so no need for me to get pregnant. Since that is the case, I will immediately drink the eternal empty womb pill so I will never get pregnant in this lifetime." She told him seriously.
"Why?! Don't you want us to have children?!" He fiercely asked as he is extremely devastated by her answer!
"My Love, you already have a child and heir so why would I still trouble myself to get pregnant, endanger my life to give birth, and sacrifice many things to raise my children, only for a few years later, I will need to fight for my children's rights against your eldest child." She laid her thoughts rationally. "Instead of experiencing that bloody, messy, and troublesome situation, I will bail myself and my innocent children out! That way, we will all have peaceful lives!" She nonchalantly explained. "Do not worry, if that happens, I will be good and raise your child very well!" She solemnly promised and even smiled at him.
He almost coughed up blood with her response because he knew she is not joking! His instinct is telling him that she will do as she says! She will never give birth to their children if another woman's child is already existing!
"You are very cruel, Beatrix!" Prince Andrew angrily responded to her.
"I just told you what I will do if you already have an existing child from another woman. I am being kind, understanding, and generous here... Why are you very angry?" Beatrix eyed him suspiciously.
"I am not angry and it is not about me!" He defended himself, very afraid that Beatrix will figure it out.
I have been dreaming of spending my entire life with you... I want to marry you and build a happy family with you... I want us to have children! Erica's child cannot and should not replace our children! I will just support Erica and the child financially and work the hardest to hide them and this secret forever... I will never allow them to ruin us!!!
So Prince Andrew tripled the security so Beatrix will never know what happened especially the existence of his unborn child!
The wedding day finally arrived but the happy occasion turned into a nightmare for Prince Andrew when Alrick and his minions were able to successfully enter the palace secretly through the help of some traitors inside the palace while everyone was very busy with the wedding celebration.
Alrick took Beatrix as his hostage and made a scene at the wedding banquet! He exposed Prince Andrew's secret to everyone present to make serious damage to Prince Andrew and Beatrix's relationship as a couple.
In the end, Alrick stabbed Beatrix to honor Erica's last wish then he committed suicide by slitting his own throat! This is his unusual and twisted way of professing his love for Beatrix by dying with her and hoping to reunite with her in the afterlife!
