Wolfram's POV

"Twins?!" MIko exclaimed. Everyone can see the joy in her face. And somehow, seeing her so excited about the babies brought a small smile to my face as well.

"He's three months into the pregnancy." Gisela told my mother. "He's experiencing morning sickness, back aches, and mood swings... But he takes good care of himself."

"Nee, can you believe it... I only just recently found out. Not even a week ago. These two purposely hid it from everyone," my mother commented. "Saying my son here wanted to surprise everyone when they finally arrive here."

"..." Miko fell silent for a short while then said. "But then the incident happened."

I smiled bitterly. "Yeah, then that happened. Now all plans were thrown out the window. We might even throw the invitations -"

"Wol-chan", Miko interrupted. "Please don't say that. The wedding will happen. It was meant to be. This is nothing but a small trial that the both of you... maybe including all of us, will eventually overcome." she held my hand.

And then she proceed to talk more, encouraging me about the situation. My mother and Gisela sometimes supplying opinions in agreement with hers.

And I just stared at her blankly. It's not that I don't want to share her vision. Maybe it's just because I'm broken inside that I find it hard to accept anything they say about what will happen to my relationship with Yuuri from here onwards. But I also don't want to deny what they're saying. I opened my mouth only to say, "I'm tired."

It's true. Both mentally and physically.

And i guess from there, they did assist to get me rest comfortably. The next thing I know, I woke up while the sun was about to set. I sat up and looked around, they're not here anymore, but from the looks of it, they went out not long ago.

I stood up and went to the balcony to watch the sun as it sets, or at least, that was what I had in mind. I am indeed looking at the direction of where the sunset was happening, but I am not really looking at it. I'm just staring blankly into space, my mind can't even process to appreciate what I was looking at. Normally I would admire it's yellowish, orange hue... but right now, I feel nothing. 

After a few minutes, when there's very little of the sun to be seen and the sky was getting dark, I titled my head downwards to look at my mother's garden. My room, you see, have a very good view. I thought I would stare at it blankly again.

Ha! I immediately regretted it. Because I soon as I looked down, my eyes met with Yuuri's. He was looking up at me by the flower bed with Cecilie's Red Sigh. It was an odd stare. I couldn't get a read on his expression. But it seemed like he was looking at me for quite a while now, I averted my gaze and went inside.

What's with that? I shook  my head lightly, attempting to get right of my current thoughts.

I don't want to think of Yuuri right now. I don't want to see him right now. I'm trying to not care and not let my emotions get the best of me. It's not good for me... and it's not good for the baby.

And then, a familiar white pigeon flew from my my balcony. I'm sure it was from Cath. I took the letter from it and put it in a cage and gave it some seeds.

I opened the letter and a sad smile crept up my face. She's so happy right now. She writes in a happy tone, talking about small things that happened. She was excited telling me about this beautiful dress Queen Amanda gave her... she was talking about how she has her own chaperone now...

I... I want to be happy for her. I want to congratulate her and write excitedly to her. But... but I can't seem to find the strength. I sat on my study table and wrote a reply. It was short. It was devastating...

And I immediately regretted sending it as I saw the pigeon pass the castle walls.

I was supposed to go to Hexzalia to give them the invitation... but I guess that's not gonna happen now. And on impulse. I wrote it in the letter.

...

Dinner time came and my mother came to inform me of it. I said that I wasn't feeling well and asked if I can have it in my room. She smiled weakly and said she would eat here with me, and kissed me on the forehead before heading out.

Hexzalia (Cath's POV)

It was already dawn when a pigeon landed outside my window and pecked the glass. It woke me up and I lazily sat up. I quickly recognize it to be the pigeon I used to send Wolf my letter. I quickly opened the window and took the letter from the pouch. The pigeon, getting used to the order the of things went inside the cage by itself.

Since I am already awake, I decided to read it then. I lit a candle by the table and sat to read comfortably. Or I thought I was gonna read comfortably.

"Cath, 

Yuuri and I were supposed to get married in three months. But I think it's not gonna happen anymore. I guess it's a good thing I haven't sent you the invitations. He had an accident and seemed to have amnesia. He forgot everything. Now he believes again that he doesn't love me. I don't know anymore. 

Cath. I'm pregnant."

My eyes widened and all the sleepiness left in me suddenly vanished. I bolted out my room, still in my nightdress, to go to my fiance's room. I banged on his door a couple times before opening it forcefully. Evidently, he was already awake from my 'knocking'. I grabbed his arm and dragged him out going to his brother's room.

"Hey, Cath! wait a minute. I'm still in my nightwear. And so are you." he commented as I drag him, not caring about what we are wearing along the long hallways.

"It's not the time to think about that." I said, with a slight anger in my voice that I couldn't stop from seeping out.

"Huh?"

I reached his brother's quarters and I also banged on his door. Damian tried to stop me but couldn't. Adan opened his door, confused on what's happening and I let myself in while still dragging his younger brother by his arm.

"What's happening?" Adan asked.

And I shoved the letter to him. I know it was something that maybe Wolf only want me to know... but I don't know what to do to help him. Both Damian and Adan started reading the letter and their eyes both widened in disbelief.

"What do we do?" i asked.

...

Normal POV (Shin Makoku)

It was early morning, and the king, who did not sleep well that night woke up much earlier than the supposed time for him to get up. He titled to his side to find the other side of the bed empty... which was no surprise at all, but oddly felt like it's not right. 

Having nothing else to do, he fixed his self and went out for a walk... well, supposedly. He walked with nowhere to go. Surprising himself where his feet brought him. In front of Wolfram's room.

From how the blonde avoided him yesterday, he knew that Wolf doesn't want to see him. He was about to walk away when he heard disturbing sounds from the inside. Instinctively, he went inside. He looked around the room, but it was empty, only to hear the sounds again from an adjacent bathroom. He approached the room, being concerned and finds his fiancé hunched over the sink, vomiting. 

"Wolf, are you okay? Do you want me to call Gisela?" he asked.

The blonde's eyes went wide.
