Chapter 150

150 Chapter 150: Explain Please

The demons talked about Emy’s pregnancy. Many demons went to the palace to ask the former king Eldron if the news was true. Eldron was standing inside his room as he peered out the window and could see the demons outside the palace gate.

“What’s going on? Why are there demons outside the palace?” Eldron asked the soldier standing next to him. He is a newcomer because he summoned him.

“They want to know if the news that the queen is human and pregnant with a half-blood is true.”

Eldron frowned as he turned to his soldier. “How did they know about the queen’s pregnancy?”

“From what I heard, it came from the other realm. Someone made an attempt on the queen’s life and almost killed her. The king got angry and killed an unborn demon.”

An unborn demon is a small creature resembling a highly deformed fetus – created from the improper burial of unwanted, stillborn infants – that preys on pregnant women.

“And I also heard that the first to rush at the demon was prince Devin.”

“Prince Devin?” Eldron asked. The soldier nodded, and Eldron took a deep breath. “Better yet, send a message to the king. I wish to speak with him.”

“I will send a message immediately, my king.” said the soldier, then quickly turned his back on Eldron and hurried out of the room.

Emy woke up and noticed that she was at home. She also has no idea what happened to her. She saw that Devin and Reed were talking to Becky, and it looked like they were talking earnestly. Emy carefully sat on the bed and leaned her back against the headboard. She held her head. She couldn’t understand, but it seemed like she had been asleep for a long time, and her head hurt slightly.

“My queen...”

Emy turned to Reed, who was sitting next to her. She turned to the door, but Devin and Becky were gone.

“They have left?” Emy asked.

“Yeah.” Reed smiled. “The former king summoned them, so they must return to the realm.”

“Oh, okay,” Emy said. She looked at herself in the mirror. She frowned and then looked at Reed again.

“Why am I wearing something different?” Emy asked in surprise. “Did you just...”

“Yeah, I changed your clothes,” Reed said.

Emy suddenly covered her chest with her hand, which made Reed laugh.

“I changed your clothes, so it’s okay,” Reed said.

“That’s not okay. You should have just asked Avery or Jasmin to....”

Reed raised an eyebrow. “And why would I ask those two when I can dress you?”

“You do not understand,” said Jody.

“Well, my queen, I really don’t understand,” Reed said. “I have already tasted and claimed you many times. And most of all, I got you pregnant, but you don’t want me to dress you anymore? Why?”

“Because my body is different now than before.”

Reed laughed. “And so? What if your body changed? It doesn’t matter to me. You are still my queen.” Emy took a deep breath. “You should not be ashamed of your body now, my queen. You are pregnant with my child. I have no right to belittle or embarrass you because of your body. You are my queen, no matter what your looks and size are. It’s a different demon when you’re pregnant.”

“Fine. I know you’re just making me feel better with what you’re saying.” Emy said with a frown. “Where are Jasmin and Avery?”

“Ah, I’m cooking you something to eat. We know you’re hungry. You’ve slept for almost eight hours and....”

“What?” Emy asked in shock. “Eight hours? Why? What happened?”

Reed chuckled. “Let’s go downstairs and eat. And I’ll tell you a story while we eat.” Emy stared at Reed as he helped her to her feet. “What again? Why are you staring like that?” Reed asked.

“You didn’t touch my body while I was sleeping?” frowned when Emy asked.

“Nothing.”

“Nothing?”

“I’m not an incubus to take advantage of you.”

“Really?”

Reed smiled. “Just believe, my queen.”

The two continued walking until they reached the door.

——-

“Taste what it tastes like. Maybe later Miss Emy won’t like it.”

Avery and Jasmin are busy in the kitchen. They cooked food even though it was a bit late for dinner.

“Okay. Shall we serve?”

“Alright, you prepare the plates, and I’ll take care of the food.”

While the two were busy, Emy and Reed entered the kitchen. The friends were surprised and hurried to fix the table.

“Sit down. We’ll serve.” Avery said

Reed helped Emy to sit down. “Do you want blood, my queen?” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

Suddenly there was a beam of light in Emy’s mind. “Didn’t I ask for a drink of blood earlier, and after that, I don’t know what happened next.”

“You are poisoned, my queen.”

Emy looked at Reed with a frown. “What?”

Avery and Jasmin told me what happened to Emy. Jasmin cried and apologized to Emy because of what happened. Emy convinced Jasmin several times that she was delicate and innocent of what happened just to make her stop crying.

Reed poured blood into the glass. And Emy drank it right away, saying that it was safe and that Reed himself took that blood. Jasmin and Avery immediately turned away because they couldn’t bear to watch Emy drink fresh blood from the glass like it was just juice.

“Damn, I can’t even see or smell your favorite drink right now, Miss Emy,” Avery said as she pinched her nose to keep from smelling the blood.

“I don’t want to drink it, but my son needs it, so I force myself.”

“Why is your belly growing so fast, Miss Emy? It looks like it’s already eight months.” Avery said.

“It’s only been seven months,” Emy said.

“I think you should have another ultrasound to determine how much the baby has weighed.”

Reed turned to Emy and then handed her a tissue. “You two can face each other now,” Reed said.

Avery and Emy faced each other and looked at Emy. They also looked at the glass, and it was empty.

“I- I’m just curious, Miss Emy, how do you manage to drink blood? I mean what does it taste like?” Jasmin asked curiously.

“At first, my mouth couldn’t accept it, then there was an aftertaste. I felt like I ate rust because I could taste it for several days.”

Jasmin and Avery gulped. They couldn’t imagine that they could handle fresh drinking blood.

“What are you feeling right now? Is something hurting you?” Reed asked.

“Nothing. The blood I drank seems to have helped.” Emy said.

“Good then,” Reed said. “By the way, I’ll just leave for a while. Avery and Jasmin will take care of you first.”

“Huh? Where are you going?” Emy asked.

“I have to follow Becky and Devin to the realm,” Reed said.

“Why did something happen?” Emy asked.

“Nothing, but I need to fix something.”

“Nothing happened, but you need to fix something?”

“I am the king, my queen.”

“Fine. Are you going to be there long?”

“No. I’ll be right back.”

“My king, we are here.”

Everyone turned to the newcomer. At the dining room door were Anton and Marina, Reed’s soldiers who were guarding Emy’s family, but since Becky wasn’t there and had to leave, he sent them into the house to protect Emy and prevent attempts on Emy’s life.

“They will take care of you first, along with Avery and Jasmin,” Reed said. “Trust no one, my queen.”

Emy nodded. Reed kissed Emy quickly on the lips and looked at Avery and Jasmin. Avery nodded, then looked at Anton and Marina.

“Don’t take your eyes off the queen. I’ll be right back.”

The two soldiers nodded. “We will take care of the king, my king.”

Reed nodded and turned to Emy again. “I’ll be back.” 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Emy nodded slightly. Reed turned and walked out of the dining room.

——-

“I don’t understand, uncle. Why are you still thinking about that thing? There’s no need for low-class demons to know about the queen.”

.....

Eldron turned to Devin. They were inside the meeting room with the mages. Devin arrived first, which Eldron didn’t expect Devin to come.

“Before all of us have an elite person, and she is the queen, and her son will be the prince or princess.” said the mage.

“Everyone knows how cunning people are; they are even more devilish than us.”

Devin took a deep breath. Later the door opened, and everyone turned. Reed entered and walked towards them.

“What do you want to happen, father?” Reed asked.

“Good, and you are here my king,” Eldron said. “There was a discussion with the low-level class demons. They were questioning someone’s queenship and her pregnancy with half blood.”

Reed smirked. “Why don’t you say that I chose him myself?”

“I did, my king, but they wanted you to face them.”

“They are more demanding than the elites,” Reed said.

None of those present spoke. Reed walked over to the window and peered in. The demons are still there, and their noise can be heard. Reed took a deep breath. If people don’t trust demons, so do demons in people.

Reed turned to his father. “Then. Call a big meeting. If they want me to face them, I will.”

“Reed, you don’t need them....” Devin said.

“I am the king. I will be obeyed,” Reed said

Everyone just looked at each other, and no one spoke.
