Chapter 121: Are Your Parents Human?

(From Blue's Perspective)

"Your Highness, please don't move much."

I was lying down on the bed while a new doctor was checking me. It had been a week since we found out that I was pregnant. Since then, Dem barely left the room. He even started working in our room and whenever I needed to move, he carried me. He did not let me walk at all. 

After that night's talk, he did not say anything that would make me upset again. But sometimes, he was angry for no reason. I could understand why. But he was keeping everything to himself. 

"Your Highness is pregnant."

"We know. And that's not why I brought you here," Dem snapped. "Check on her health properly and make sure her life is not at risk."

"Yes..."

The doctor was a middle-aged man. His hands were even shaking. I had a feeling that it was because he was too scared of Dem who was glaring at him. 

The doctor checked me for a while. He took a note of everything. It had been an hour or something when he was finished. 

"... M-My apologies, Your Highness... But I don't think..."

"This is what you've been waiting to say after checking her for hours," Dem said, more calmly than any of us would like. 

"My apo..."

"Get out!"

"Y-Yes..."

The doctor left quickly. He seemed to be able to breathe when he stepped out of the room. I did not know people feared Dem that much. I mean, sometimes I was scared of him, but I did not feel the same most of the time and even if I was scared, it was surely not that much.

"None of them are worthy enough! All of those fucking..."

"It's partly your fault as well. You were literally glaring at them. All of the doctors were scared of you. This one was even shaking in fear," Luc grumbled.

Luc had been with me for the whole week to trace the dark mage that we suspected to be around us. But he still had not found out anything. The only change that occurred after Luc came was that he and Dem had been fighting almost all the time. They were arguing about almost everything since every single of their thoughts were polar opposite. 

I did not even have any strength left in me that I would stop them or say something. My throat hurt and because of that, I could not even talk properly. 

"What about you? Are you feeling a bit better? Or is it the same as before?" Dem asked. 

"Huh? Yeah... I'm f-feeling a bit... better," I said. It was obviously a lie. I could not even take any medicine since the werewolf's medicine was not good for my body. But if I was weak, then Dem was even more worried and he would keep getting angry at whoever came his way except me. That was why, I wanted to make him feel better, even if it was just a bit. "You have work, don't you? You're supposed to go to the court today."

Dem was supposed to go to the court about as a noble family went bankrupt. He was helping the noble family so he could get the elder daughter of that family to marry the duke of Lacuna to spy on him. 

"You're not well," he said. "How can I leave you like this?"

"Oh, please! Stop being disgustingly annoying," Luc grumbled. "Can't you see I'm here? I will be with her all the time when you're gone. You can leave."

"Yes... Luc w-will be here," I said. "It's... fine... if you go."

He did not seem convinced enough, but he knew that I would keep nagging him until he left. It had been like this for the whole week. 

He pressed his palm over my forehead and sighed in relief. Perhaps I did not have a fever anymore. It was rare that my fever had calmed down this week. 

"Will you really be okay?" he asked. 

I nodded. "Y-Yes... Go."

"Alright, I will leave her to you," Dem said, looking at Luc though it was more like glaring. "Take care of her. And if something goes wrong, send me a letter immediately."

"Don't worry, just leave already," Luc said. 

"Don't...," I said quickly as I found Dem trying to kick Luc for no reason. He was always so childish, yet if I told him that, he would get angry.

Even after both Luc and I told him, Dem took thirty more minutes to leave. He kept asking if I would truly be alright. He even told me to stab Luc in the eye if he annoyed me. 

"Your husband doesn't have any shame! How could he tell that to me and that's also right to my face?" Luc grumbled.

"Calm down... H-He is... just too... worried," I chuckled. 

"I know. And he has a reason too," he said as he sat down in the chair beside my bed. "That's why I'm not arguing too much."

'If that's not too much, then I wonder what that would be...'

"Thank god, that freaking king is gone now," Luc said. "I wanted to talk to you alone for quite a while, but he did not let me. He thinks I'm thinking too much again."

"What... is it?"

I had a feeling all this while that Luc wanted to tell me something. But whenever he tried to, Dem kept interfering and he told Luc not to think about weird things. I had no idea what that meant. But perhaps, it had something to do with my illness. 

"First, can you tell me about your parents?"

"My parents?" I asked, surprised. 

"Yes, your parents," he said. "It's important for me to know to prove my suspicion. I hope I'm wrong though, if your husband knows about the whole thing, he would wish for it to be true since it can preserve your life."

"W-What..."

"Now tell me about your parents."

"Um, there... is n-nothing special... I mean, my... m-mother's name is... Charlie... and my f-father's name is... Raphael."

"Are they human?"

"O-Of course... What else... will they b-be?" 

"Are you sure they are your parents? I mean, are you sure that they are the ones who made you?"

Now that I thought about it, I heard that my mother cheated on my father with someone and because of that, I was born. That was why I did not look like Father. And Father even hated me for it and kept being violent towards me. 

"Did I heat a jackpot?" Luc smirked. 

"I... W-Well, I'm not s-sure, but... my b-brother told me... that my m-mother cheated on my... f-father with a-another man... and so, I'm that m-man's child," I said. "I'm... not sure..."

"Then I think I'm right," he smiled. "Then let me tell you this, it's true."

"Huh?"

He brought his face close to my ear and whispered, "You're the daughter of a mage, a dark mage, to be precise."

"W-What... are you saying?" I asked. How could it even be true? I was sure that he was wrong. 

"Let me tell you clearly," he said and pulled back. "There are mages and werewolves. Mages are also werewolves. But what makes mages different from normal werewolves is that they have less werewolf power within them. They can't even transform."

"That m-mean... you... can't..."

"No, I can't transform," he shook his head. "But still, we're equal. Because, we, mages, can use magic. We are born with mana inside our bodies. We are rare and other werewolves can't use it. And there are also two types of mages. Normal mages and dark mages. Dark mages use black magic and they are born with black mana that makes them much more powerful than normal mages and werewolves."

"There are five kingdoms and five Alphas rule these kingdoms. Just like that, there are five magic towers in each kingdom that belong to those kingdoms. There are five masters who rule the magic towers. They contribute to the ruling of the kingdom. A master of the magic tower is equally powerful as an Alpha. But dark mages are different. They are super rare and one of them can compete against five Alphas or five masters of the magic towers."

"It's hard for a werewolf to conceive a werewolf's child and it's even harder, almost impossible, for a human to conceive an Alpha's child. That's because an Alpha has more werewolf characteristics than a normal werewolf and that's what prevents a human from conceiving an Alpha's child. But it's not like it can't happen. I mean, it happened in your case, right?"

"But it's not the same for a dark mage. Since a mage has lesser werewolf characteristics, a dark mage has even lesser. That's why it's not hard for a human to get pregnant with a black mage's child." 

"In conclusion, that's how your mother got pregnant with you, a black mage's child," he said.. "And I don't think I'm wrong."
