Trying to have s3x with Blain scared her so much, though. She couldnt understand why she felt so repulsed by it.

“……”

Leah frowned. There was a heaviness in her belly and a little pain. Her period had always been irregular, but lately it had not come at all. And suddenly she remembered that the tailors said her waist measurement had increased slightly. Looking down, it even seemed as if her belly was protruding a little. But that didnt make sense, she was hardly eating at all.

It was worrying. If Cerdina noticed, she would surely reproach her for ruining the shape of her wedding dress.

Leah forced herself to stop thinking about it before she distressed herself further. She had too much work to do. But as soon as she started reading through documents about security in the capital, she heard a commotion outside. The door was flung open and a blonde woman entered her office.

“Let the light shine on Estia,” said Lady Mirael, moving to stand before Leahs desk with clicking heels, and smiled. “Hello, Princess.”

Leah did not respond to the greeting. She only turned her gaze to the door, where it was clear that both her ladies and the knights on guard were unsure what to do. Lady Mirael was unwise in entering, but everyone was afraid of Blain. His aggressiveness was well-known in the palace, and he never forgave anyone that contradicted his will. They must be cautious, because there was no knowing what punishment they might receive for offending Lady Mirael, who had his favor.

Leah set her quill down with a soft sigh and nudged her documents aside as Lady Mirael sat down.

“I thought you knew the basic etiquette for entering a palace,” Leah said coolly. “You need a new tutor to teach you proper manners, Lady Mirael.”

But despite the cold greeting, the lady didnt back down.

“Dont misunderstand me,” she said with a wide smile. “I have only come to get to know you better.”

Countess Melissa frowned at her overly familiar language and impolite manner. Leah only looked at the lady in silence. It was better to do nothing, and see how far Lady Mirael would go. The ladys eyes went over Leahs office and her desk, laden with documents, and then to Leahs ink-smudged finger and smiled.

Leah followed her gaze. She had been so busy at work, she hadnt even noticed.
