Is the Lost Princess Unexpectedly Loved? – Chapter 164

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟔𝟒

After finishing the examination before bed, I’m a little tired, so Chris casts a healing spell on me.

Kyle, who has changed his clothes, also lies down on the bed where I’m lying.

It seems that the three of us will sleep together tonight.

I know when we’re going to bed because Kyle comes in after the healing is done.

ㅤ

“You seem more tired than usual today. Thinking too much?”

ㅤ

“That’s right. There were many things to think about.

Even though they were all things that were useless to think about.”

ㅤ

Both Eliza’s situation and Kokodia’s domestic movements,

There’s nothing I can do about it.

Yet I can’t get it out of my head, and I feel heavy all the time.

ㅤ

“You have to forget about Eliza.

As for Kokodia. . .Well, to some extent, we expected it.

Princess, when you asked me to be your consort, I was already saying that.”

ㅤ

“What does it mean that you were telling Chris?”

ㅤ

“. . .I don’t think it’s best for someone of Kokodia’s bloodline to bear a child, or something like that.

Maybe it was also because we were on the verge of going to war with Kokodia.

Those words helped me decide to become my consort.”

ㅤ

“Oh, right, I said something like that.”

ㅤ

That’s nostalgic. I answered Chris, who said he wouldn’t become a consort because we couldn’t have children,

That I didn’t need a consort to have children.

Not to be influenced by Kokodia, not to make my child the next king.

ㅤ

“Do you still think that way?”

ㅤ

“Yes, I do. That’s what they’re saying in Kokodia.

I don’t think we’ll have a good relationship with Kokodia in the future.

King Raymon might be fine, but

I don’t know how the relationship will change with his descendants.

My grandfather accepted the alliance through marriage,

Probably because the country was in such turmoil.”

ㅤ

“Are you going to adopt Eddie’s children?”

ㅤ

“I was thinking that way, but I think it’s fine not to adopt.

Eddie and the others are in the royal palace,

So it’s a simple matter to recognize the child as royalty if one is born.”

ㅤ

I used to think that if they weren’t my children, they couldn’t become crown princes,

But now that Eddie has become a crown prince’s proxy,

We can recognize Eddie’s child as royalty as is.

I think it’s fine to have Eddie and Diana raise them,

And confirm their intentions when they finish their prince education.

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Eddie doesn’t want to become the crown prince probably because he doesn’t want to be king.

I hope Eddie’s child will have the character to become king.”

ㅤ

“I think it will be fine because it’s also Diana’s child.

If that doesn’t work out, we’ll have to think about it at that time.”

ㅤ

I’m hoping that the child will take after Diana and agree, but,

They’ve only been married for a year, and it might be too early to think about this since she’s not even pregnant yet.

ㅤ

“. . .I’d like to see the child of Princess and Kyle.

Would you have considered it a little if Kokodia didn’t exist?”

ㅤ

“Huh?”

ㅤ

“I thought the Princess didn’t want a child.”

ㅤ

My own feelings. . .if Kokodia didn’t exist.

I inadvertently glance at Kyle beside me.

A child will be born between Kyle and me. Surely a lovely silver-haired child will be born.

And then. . .I’ll become a mother. . .no, that’s not right.

ㅤ

“. . .Maybe I wouldn’t have given birth even if Kokodia didn’t exist.

I can think of many reasons not to give birth, but not a single reason why I’d want to.”

ㅤ

“Sofia. . .”

ㅤ

“I don’t know what it means to be a mother.

I don’t think it’s just Okaa-sama’s fault, but I don’t feel like I can become a mother.

. . .I think I’m scared.

I feel like I’ll become something different by giving birth.”

ㅤ

Chris gently strokes my back.

Kyle grips my left hand, saying it’s okay.

When I look at my fingertips, they are trembling slightly.

This is the part of me that hasn’t fully grown up. I just can’t do what’s expected.

As a woman, I can’t accept my motherhood.

ㅤ

“My bad. I was just a little curious.

I was caught up in why the Princess decided not to have a child.

If you don’t want to give birth, I think that’s fine.

I don’t want you to give birth unwillingly. Kyle thinks the same, right?”

ㅤ

“Yeah. I respect what Sofia has decided.

Rather than a non-existent child,

What’s more important is that Sofia is happy and smiling.

. . .I don’t know my mother either. I’m the same as Sofia.

With me, Sofia, and Chris, the three of us are family, and that’s enough.”

ㅤ

“Is it alright? Kyle could have another lover, you know.

Maybe she will give birth to a child?”

ㅤ

“Princess. That’s foolish.”

ㅤ

“Huh?”

ㅤ

Somehow annoyed, Chris tells me, and when I look at Kyle, he’s clearly angry.

Thinking it’s rare for Kyle to be angry like this,

Chris, having finished healing, waves his hand and leaves the room.

ㅤ

“I wanted to let you rest today, but I guess it’s impossible. Good night to both of you.”

ㅤ

“Huh?”

ㅤ

“I’ll wake you up a bit late tomorrow. Kyle, go easy, okay?”

ㅤ

“. . .I’ll try as much as I can.”

ㅤ

“Don’t break Princess, okay? See ya.”

ㅤ

“Chris??”

ㅤ

The door slams shut.

I’m scared to turn around. . .but I’m forcibly turned over,

And my lips are sealed with a kiss.

ㅤ

“. . .?!”

ㅤ

“Don’t you ever suggest having a lover again,

Let’s make sure you understand?”

ㅤ

“I won’t. . .never again. . .”

ㅤ

Despite swearing never to say it again, Kyle’s mood doesn’t improve,

And I ended up being kept awake until I couldn’t get up for a long time. . .
