When Ragnar asked nervously, the doctor took out a stethoscope this time.

“The young lady’s pulse is very weak. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.I can barely hear it. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Please stay warm. read only at salmonlatte . com.

Christa glanced at Ragnar and then quietly shook her head at Kenneth. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He frowned and wrote something on the paper.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“For the time being, I’ll prescribe medicine to protect your body.”

Whatever happens, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was infertile. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.However, it meant one thing: the crown prince came and gave abortion pills to her.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“The rumor is very fast.”

Christa murmured in wonder.

“When did I get pregnant?”

She’d never heard of it before. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She couldn’t even guess why such rumors were spreading.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Everyone thought it was morning sickness when you had a meal here the other day.”

With a startled expression, Mervin asked Ragnar urgently.

“You told me before that Knight Palmaril was pregnant! Was it a lie?”

“The important thing is that the rumor has spread widely now. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Enough for Elio to notice.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Mervin’s face turned white as plaster. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.All of this was the plan of this damn duke.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

This was why he was uncomfortable last time. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He can’t believe he just realized it now. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He couldn’t help but grieve.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“And that’s what I wrote in the marriage proposal d*cument sent to Baron Palmaril.”

It was Mervin, not anyone else, who wrote the proposal.

“That’s right! That’s what the leader said…….”

Mervin now seems powerless to stand. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Kenneth handed him his usual prescription. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It was a very effective medicine for stomachaches.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Argonod’s employees have a heavy mouth and are loyal to the Duke from a long time ago. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Therefore, the information was leaked after the d*cument was sent to Baron Palmaril. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Everything was as Ragnar planned.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Christa, who could not see the flow of the story, had no choice but to tilt her head. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Recognizing it, Ragnar explained it to Christa.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“It means our marriage contract is working.”

“Is that so…?”

“Since this has happened, I should make the rumors bigger.”

Kenneth, the doctor, has long been a reliable servant of the Argonod family. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Ragnar gave him an order.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Please write down on the prescription that Christa is pregnant without any problems. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.And for the time being, I want our family’s servants to know that.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I understand.”

Both Kenneth and Mervin followed suit. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Mervin was simply dying inside, but there was no way for him to fix things now because it was already spilled milk.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Ragnar intended to hold his upcoming wedding with great grandeur and splendor. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It has to be the most extravagant wedding in the empire so that no one will miss it.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

꧁꧂

Christa Palmaril, the illegitimate daughter of a baron and a low-ranking female knight. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Rumors that she would soon have a grand wedding after she got pregnant with the child of Duke Argonod, the richest man in the empire, and has a standing in society close to the emperor, spread for thousands of miles.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Oh, my God, the Duke of Argonod!”

“What kind of family is she from?”

“Baron Palmaril? It’s a baron family that I’ve never heard of.”

“How dare she seduce a man to raise her status!”

It was a provocative gossip that the Duke of Argonod chose marriage with love rather than a political marriage with the imperial princess because he fell in a passionate love with his colleague, Knight Palmaril. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Wherever she went in the capital, everyone used to talk about them.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Naturally, this news came to the emperor’s ears.

“That lady has the Duke’s child?”

“Yes, sir.”

Pre-marital pregnancy in the Empire was not honorable. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Even if it’s between engaged couples. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Therefore, in order to take responsibility, it was right for the two to get married.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

However, that would lead to a great deal of trouble for the imperial family. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The Imperial family wanted to have the influence of the Argonod family in their hands. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.If the northern forces decided, it was not difficult to overthrow the central forces, which were weakened by the Three Kingdoms’ War.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

It is difficult for that to happen. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.If the Argonod family now has a successor, it will be the seed of unrest that threatens his imperial power when Elio later ascends to the throne.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Then, he can’t marry Natalia?”

“Did you get a reply to the marriage proposal sent to the Duke?”

“They sent a clear rejection reply.”

The entire house turned pale. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Pelias I’s face was shaded. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He had to calm his anger for a long time.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Then shouldn’t you get rid of her?”

꧁꧂

“We don’t know what will happen in the future, so you should stay here from now on.”

Ragnar suggested to Christa to stay in his town house.

“But…”

“It’s because I can’t stand it if something like what happened with the crown prince happens again.”

It was a fair fact. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.No one predicted that the Crown Prince would come out of such an open place with such a bold move. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Something more serious could have happened if Ivar, the Deputy Chief Knight, had not sent an urgent message.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“You will need your luggage, right?”

Christa thought of her room in Palmaril’s mansion. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.In her old, moldy, gloomy room, the only items that could be called hers were her swords and armor which was supplied by the military.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

So she nodded her head slowly. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She doesn’t know how Ragnar took her nod, because they were soon welcomed by the Baron and Baroness Palmaril.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Oh, my God, Duke! Christa!”

Eva greeted them and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

“Oh, the Duke!”

When Sebastian heard that the Duke had arrived from somewhere, he hurriedly changed his wig and welcomed him.

“Well, shouldn’t we be more careful about our behavior since Christa has a baby?”

Eva approached Christa before she knew it and wrapped her arms around her affectionately.

“What the hell is this…….”

Eva then poked her in the ribs and whispered in her ear.

‘Shut up and follow my lead.’

“Yes! My lovely niece. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Come on, come on. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It’s not healthy for you to stand like that. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Come and sit here in front of this warm fireplace, since your body is no longer yours alone.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Sebastian also made a fuss and made it look like Christa was as precious as jewelry. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Christa was never used to this treatment.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Now, a woman should have a warm stomach. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Nancy, go ahead and get this child some warm milk. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.With plenty of sugar!”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Sugar-infused foods were the finest luxury in the Palmaril residence. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She had never given such a precious thing to Christa before. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Christa was enjoying the finest luxury sitting in the top seat where Sebastian usually sits.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Now, I want to talk to the Duke about marriage.”

As a sly dig at Ragnar, Sebastian threw the hot topic at him. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He was about to bargain.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“So, according to the d*cuments sent by the Duke, our Christa is about to give birth to a precious baby.”

“She is.”

“By the way, the truth is, Christa has promised to marry Count Pasquier, so we are in serious trouble in that regard.”

Sebastian began his speech. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.To summarize his long and sluggish speech, he “needs money.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“If there’s a conflict with the Count of Pasquier, will this amount solve it?”

Ragnar wrote down the amount on paper. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The more zeroes attached to the amount, the brighter Sebastian’s expression became.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Oh, my.”

Sebastian seemed unable to breathe.

“Oh, my! Yes, yes, yes! Of course this will do!”

A hundred million sounds like an exclamation. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.There was a sharp glow on Sebastian’s face, which flushed red.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Then, I’m thinking of taking Christa to my residence before our wedding. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Do you have any objections?”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Then Sebastian rolled his eyes.

“Ha, but it hurts us so much to send our niece, who hasn’t even been married yet.….”

“T, that’s right! How much we love Christa……. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Thinking that this child is not here, I’m already about to cry, honey.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Eva took out her handkerchief with tears in her eyes.

In the end, the Duke promised to take Christa with him with two thousand florins and 100 million ducats, twelve horses, northern silverwork, five skilled servants and four boxes of high-quality gemstones mined this year in Argonod-owned mines.

“Well, let’s go get your luggage.”

At the end of the deal, Ragnar managed to see Christa’s room.

It was a narrow attic almost like a warehouse. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.A window with no sunlight, worn-out, straw-filled bedding and old linen, mirrors with blurred edges and poorly illuminated corners, creaky floors and dusty furniture.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

The room was bound to resemble its master. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It was a place that was nearly impossible to describe other than desolation.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘This is where Christa…….’

A niece who is so well taken care of could not be treated in the same way. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Somehow, he was filled with anger.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Christa took out a small wooden comb, a single-winged class badge, and her favorite sword from a cabinet.

“Is that all?”

Then she nodded with a calm face. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He couldn’t tell what she was thinking because she was still expressionless.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I was always on the battlefield.”

As she explained, she opened the closet. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.There are only three simple, decorative clothes that she wears every day. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.In the narrow room, everything was within reach in four steps.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Well…”

Ragnar wasn’t knowledgeable about women’s products, but it was clear to him. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Christa was a woman with no trace of life in this house.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Women’s rooms usually have more stuff. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Whether she was rich or poor, it didn’t make sense that her room was so devoid of her things. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Her empty room seemed to show what her life had been like. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.At that moment, something sour passed through the corner of his chest.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“That’s all.”

It was so simple that even if she put everything in one bag, there would be a lot of room left. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Somehow he felt stuffy in his heart. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.His stomach grew uneasy and he felt nauseous.
