If You Fall In Love With A Terminally Ill Princess

s since she had conceived.
Kirona, whose belly was round, was now quite pregnant.
Jade soon narrowed the distance carefully.
He knelt down in front of Kirona. 

“Be safe.
I wanted to be by your side all the time…
Don’t get sick, take your medicine…I will pray for you.” 

“Huh.” 

“Your Royal Highness, stay safe.” 

He placed his hand on Kirona’s stomach.
With his rough hands worn out from long training, he swept down Kirona’s stomach as if he were touching the most precious treasure in the world.

Kirona clenched her chin and looked down at his face. 

It wasn’t that she hated him completely either. 

Sometimes he just stared at her like he was going to kill her.
He might have thought he wasn’t obvious, but Kirona knew everything.
How can one not know the vivid hostility that touches their skin? Sometimes, those blade—like eyes made her stomach churn. 

Well, she understood.
Not quite as much as Jade, but Kirona’s other loyal limbs also sometimes had those sharp eyes.
You must have thought that the child was devouring my life and my health.
But what do I do? This baby is innocent, and it was me who decided to give birth. 

At that moment, her thought was broken by the sound of lips touching her.
Kirona rolled her eyes.
While she was resting, Jade Eclipse kissed her stomach. 

“Hey!” 

That cringe worthy behavior made Kirona shudder.
But Jade did not yield to Kirona’s reaction.
He quickly kissed her mouth once more, then playfully smirked.

“Daddy’s going.”

“Oh, my God! Don’t fool around.
He’s acting up.
Squirming all the way to his head now.”

Kirona picked up her scabbard and pounded his iron-like back, but Jade barely flinched.
He merely smiled and avoided Kirona’s beating.
Kirona eventually caught Jade and whispered, pulling hard at his ear.

“Be careful.
In the Imperial Palace, the walls also have ears.
People might misunderstand you as the baby’s biological father.
Do you want rumours to float about someone who hasn’t even married yet?”

“I’m not getting married.
How many times do I have to tell you?”

The child was the emperor’s first grandchild.
Although the child was not yet fully formed, the only one who dared to speak to the child, other than the royal family, was the child’s biological father.
However, like many pregnant women in the Mihadas Empire, Kirona did not know the exact place of conception of the child.
There were only a few candidates that could be narrowed down to, but only God knows exactly who they are.

//Jade & Kirona’s relationship have landed their place high up in my book with flying colours.
I find this concept quite interesting — whoever is the birth father, has nothing to do with the child.
Seems like Jade’s gonna be the daddy regardless.
