[Eng]The Queen : Eternal Monarch✔

Key of Happiness

Gon shuddered when he felt the air conditioner in his bedroom blowing very cold. He just realized that the blanket had fallen to his feet. Still with his eyes closed, he pulled the blanket over his head, curled up inside. He uses the thick blanket himself, he did not share it with the sleeping woman beside him, because the person who turned on this cold air conditioner was Tae Eul herself, and she would be angry if she was covered. Recently, Tae Eul often feels hot, even though it's still the middle of spring and the air is still fresh. And now Tae Eul also prefers to hug maternity pillow than her husband.

Gon wakes up again when one his hand that comes out of the blanket touches the empty cold pillow beside him. Maybe Tae Eul is in the toilet. Going to the toilet almost every hour has started to become Tae Eul's new routine since entering the thirt trimester.

He quickly shuffled over to the remote and raised the room temperature, then curled back into his blanket. But he couldn't sleep anymore because his wife didn't come back either.

"Yeobo," Gon called, opening the toilet door, but no one was inside.

He turned to the clock, whose still showed the number three. He came out of the bedroom, looking for Tae Eul in every room, but couldn't find her. He began to feel anxious and almost woke up the entire palace, but undo it when he passed the slightly open back garden door. Tae Eul is walking through the garden. Jangmi who was Tae Eul's bodyguard walked a few steps behind her. He withdrew when he saw the king approaching his queen.

"What are you doing at night like this in the dark garden?"

"After peeing, I couldn't sleep anymore. Little Rice didn't let me sleep. So I took a little walk to get some fresh air."

"Does he keep kicking?" Gon stroked Tae Eul's belly.

Tae Eul nodded, "He is more active at night, especially at this time. I was difficult to sleep."

Gon looked down, whispered to the baby in Tae Eul's womb, "good boy, your mom should be punished a little for making daddy freeze every night and refusing to give a little warmth."

Tae Eul chuckled at Gon's words, "What the hell? Is this some kind of a father and son conspiracy?"

"Oh, he kicked!" Gon exclaimed in amazement when he felt the little one's movement from inside the womb, "Looks like he's giving me a high five."

Tae Eul got on her hips while glaring at Gon, but a second later the husband and wife let out a laugh.

A few weeks before the due date of birth, not only Tae Eul cleared her schedule, but also Gon, to welcome the birth of their first son. All the work he does inside the palace, and only makes important visits in Busan. For meetings outside the city and abroad, it will be conducted by Prime Minister Mo.

However, there is one meeting schedule that cannot be represented by others, nor can it be canceled, that is the World Conference. The conference must be attended by the leaders of the respective countries. And one of the discourses that will be discussed is the peace between Korea and Japan. The meeting will be held in Hong Kong for three days and two nights.

"Yeobo, how about you do a C-section?" Gon's suggestion has been unable to sleep since the meeting schedule was announced.

Tae Eul, who was already sleepy, suddenly came back refreshed, "what? I don't want to! I want to push. Why do I have to have a C-section if I can give birth vaginally? My examination results are good, the baby's position is not breech, there is no medical indication that requires me to have a C-section."

"I'm afraid you will give birth when I go to Hong Kong. I don't want to miss that special moment for a second."

"You're only gone for three days, and the due date is still around ..." Tae Eul counts, "a week to ten days after you get home."
