Upon returning to my room, the servants who were cleaning my room immediately left as I sat on a chair.

"My lady... Are you okay?" Asked one of my maids as she approached me carefully.

Reinhart and Trisha. The news that Reinhart's first love, Trisha is back. Almost everybody knows their relationship and they were quite popular back then in the social world.

"My lady. I'm sorry." The maid bowed her head.

"No, it's not your fault. I just want to be alone for a while."

"Yes. Duchess." She said as she quietly closed the door and left.

Only my sobbing rang in the room where silence fell.

"Trisha, why are you coming back all of a sudden?"

"Go away."

Sob. Sob.

Trisha left the kingdom for three years to become a wife merchant she met. Reinhart was heart broken with the news back then. But why did she return to the Kingdom and why would Reinhart pick her up?

Reinhart is now my husband.

I knew better than anyone how much Reinhart misses and loves her. Just imagining it made my heart throb.

"The day after tomorrow. I will fetch Trish, so make sure to get ready without a hitch." What kind of expression did he have when he said that? Trisha left and Reinhart married me, but he never once told me he loved me.

I thought that if he didn't love me, I would just have to love him more to make up for it. That I could bear it just by his presence beside me. The mere imagination of the two facing each other made my heart churn.

"Ugh."

I felt a little pain in my belly. Was it too stressful? I quickly patted my stomach.

"I'm sorry baby. Mommy didn't think of you for a moment."

My stomach is a little small for now. But it was certain that a small life was growing on this flat stomach. I am not alone anymore. Aside from loving Reinhart. I have a precious child to protect.So, I shouldn't put myself on a lot of stress about Trisha coming back.

'I know Reinhart wouldn't throw and replace me with Trisha. I just need to trust him.'

I said to myself, as if calming my anxious heart.
