“Uh…”

My mouth suddenly felt very bitter.

Maybe it was because of the stress, but all kinds of strange things happened.

I frowned and quenched my appetite.

I looked around and everyone was looking at me with their eyes wide open.

“Why is everyone saying this?”

“Hey, wait a minute.”

The saint put her ear to my lower abdomen.

“No, what are you doing?”

“Please stay quiet.”

When I tried to take it off, the saint slapped the back of my hand.

“Why are you doing that all of a sudden…”

“Isn’t it?”

She tilted her head.

“Hey, how long has it been since you had your period?”

“I don’t remember?”

“Hey bitch, what if you don’t know that!”

“Why should I remember that?”

I’m having periods that I shouldn’t have to do because of someone else…

Suddenly, I wanted to hit the saint’s head with my fist.

“No, it seems like you’re asking me if I’m pregnant, but that’s not possible.”

“Write…”

The saintess looked up at me, frowning, as if she was still suspicious.

“If you suddenly feel nauseous, isn’t that really pregnancy?”

She poked my lower abdomen with her finger.

I grabbed her hair.

“Ouch!”

“I don’t know if I’m pregnant or what. Please sit down again.”

“Now that you know how to use divine power, you’re just spreading it out, right?”

“Ha…”

Suddenly, I felt eyes on me and turned my head to see that Lotos was very embarrassed.

“What is it?”

“Not me!”

“It’s not something that happened out of the blue.”

“I can’t do that. I didn’t do it.”

He broke into a cold sweat and shook his head.

“I don’t know what bullshit you’re talking about, but it’s not you so don’t talk nonsense.”

“Right? It’s not me, right?”

Lotos breathed a sigh of relief.

“If I had done that, I would have shot him in the temple with a pistol.”

“Huh…”

It was so absurd that I couldn’t even speak properly.

“Yeah, probably not…”

Count Lajuran held the coffee cup with trembling hands.

“Okay… there’s no way who gets taken first. This is the guy that someone predicted…”

Why is that guy doing that again?

“ Archbishop, I’m going somewhere for a moment.”

Count Lajuran stopped drinking his coffee and ran out of the room.

“Where are we going?”

“That’s right… I don’t know either.”

“Marie.”

Armand motioned for me to come closer.

“Did you take the contraceptive pill properly?”

“Hmm…”

It definitely seemed like I ate it at the right time… but I don’t remember whether I ate it or not.

“There is only one place to get the seeds anyway, right?”

“Yes.”

I blushed and nodded.

“From what I heard, the Lord and Lady of Bastogne seem to be friendly towards you, so I don’t think you need to worry.”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“You don’t know and no one else knows, so prepare just in case.”

Armand sipped his coffee with a playful smile.

“I don’t know either.”

Since everyone was reacting like that, I also started to feel uneasy.

“Mari.”

At that time, Laurent put his hand on my shoulder.

“My mother told me to bring her anytime…”

Bah!

I just kicked Laurent’s shin.

“Wow!”

He grabbed his beaten leg and stomped away.

“I’m already annoyed, so don’t say that! I’m not pregnant!”

“Anyway, I’m saying don’t worry.”

“Ugh…!”

I sighed deeply.

How did this happen…

Even if she was really pregnant, when did she become pregnant?

What if you were sparring as a warm-up and got burned out? Or when Laurent went out in an excited state after just fondling him and did it in an alley?

No matter how much I think about it, I feel like I took the birth control pill well every time.

While I was pondering when I got pregnant, the door opened violently.

“Marie!”

Pia looked at me with a very surprised face.

“What, Marie, are you really pregnant?”

“Uh…?”

She came up to me and put her ear to my stomach.

“Oh my! oh! Look at the sound!”

Pia looked at me with her eyes wide open.

“No… because the sound usually comes from a person’s stomach?”

“Can you hear the heartbeat?”

“It must be the sound of my heart.”

“The boat is moving… Sigh!”

I couldn’t bear it any longer and pulled Pia’s cheeks.

“Pia, do it in moderation.”

“Pee… You’re like a stray cat…”

Pia pursed her lips and touched her tingling cheek.

Coincidentally, Pia was also in front. It seemed like what needed to be solved had to be solved.

“Pia, why haven’t you met me all this time?”

“That… So…”

She hesitated and stuttered.

“Hmm! We’re out of coffee.”

Armand woke up and coughed loudly.

“You two, please help me.”

He took Lotos and Aramis with him and went out of the room.

“No one is listening. Can you tell me why you’ve been avoiding me for so long?”

Pia took a deep breath.

“Why did I avoid it…”

“Why did you avoid it?”

“After Marie went to war, I thought a lot about it, and I was so embarrassed that I acted like a child…”

“Are you saying it was difficult for me to meet you because you were embarrassed by what you said to me?”

Pia nodded, covering her face with both hands.

“Laurent, you are a truly sinful man.”

“Did I do something wrong?”

“Pia is having such a hard time because of you.”

“No, that’s…”

Laurent, who was trying to refute my words, opened his mouth twice and stopped.

“Yes, I am the bad guy.”

Laurent grunted, showing that he was slightly upset.

“So Pia, do you still like Laurent?”

“No, I think I messed with someone who owns it, so I’m going to give up.”

Pia smiled brightly and answered.

“I try not to be ugly. There are already hundreds of people rushing to me saying they like me, but I think there might be one person I like.”

“I’m glad that’s the case.”

I was glad to hear she was okay.

If I had continued to have a cold heart, I would have felt uncomfortable too.

“The war is probably over. Let’s go back to the way we used to be. Going to tea parties and things like that.”

“Okay, I’ll definitely go next time.”

When we arrived at the royal palace, we followed Armand and sat down where the king’s party sat.

I turned my head to the side and looked towards the noble faction, and it was empty.

Unlike the royal faction, which was bustling with people, the noble faction seemed like flies flying around.

“Why is it so empty?”

“Some people ran away because the Duke of Orléans was wanted all over the continent, and some left Élance to follow him.”

“They are crazy people. Even though he summoned a monster, you still follow him blindly…”

I clicked my tongue as I looked at the empty aristocratic seats.

“Quiet, His Majesty comes in.”

When King Anjou XIV entered the conference hall, everyone there stood up.

He looked around the audience and sat down on the throne.

As if everyone had promised, King XIV of Anjou sat down and everyone took their seats.

“Are we all there?”

““Yes, Your Majesty.””

“Why is the noble faction so empty?”

“…”

The nobles sitting in the noble section bowed their heads without saying a word.

“You guys asked me why I didn’t follow the Duke of Orléans.”

“Your Majesty, they…”

“Count Lajuran, I am now asking the nobles.”

“Sorry.”

Count Lajuran bowed his head and sat down.

“How come there are less than 10 people out of 200 left!”

The remaining nobles bowed their heads further at the shouts of King Anjou XIV.

“If you have a mouth, make an excuse!”

“Well… we don’t know either.”

“Not sure?”

“Yes, we don’t know what’s going on, but from one day onwards, our colleagues from the same aristocratic faction started leaving Paris one by one.”

“All your colleagues left, so why didn’t you follow them?”

“What do we do when we leave here…”

The nobles collectively sighed.

“We have everything here, but it would be unreasonable for our wife and children to abandon them and follow the Duke of Orléans.”

Clap clap clap clap clap

“Great.”

King Anjou XIV began clapping.

“Yes?”

The noble faction looked at each other with wide eyes.

“You guys are cowards.”

A shadow fell on the faces of the nobles at the words of King Anjou XIV.

“There is nothing to be intimidated by, you are great cowards.”

“Your Majesty, no matter how you criticize them so blatantly…”

In response to his criticism, Count Lajuran tried to resolve the problem, fearing that the remaining nobles might do something strange.

“But! Just by remaining here and not following the Duke of Orléans, he can be said to be a great loyalist.”

“That… Is that so?”

“Then, of course.”

“Seong-eun is devastated!”

The nobles bowed and expressed their gratitude to King XIV of Anjou.

“No matter how bizarre the Duke of Orléans did by summoning the devil, I will guarantee the safety of you and your families.”

“Oh…”

“However, you all have work to do.”

“What is that! If you give me orders, I will be loyal!”

“Are you sure you can do it?”

“Yes!”

The nobles responded loudly.

“Okay, what do you guys have to do…”

The corner of Anjou XIV’s mouth twitched when he saw the nobles with moist eyes.
