Side Story 3
However, Idina had been having some worries recently.
Idina, who returned to her room, sat on the edge of the bed as usual. She looked down at her belly with a slightly disturbed expression.
The maid who saw her strange expression asked.
“You think your belly is too big again, right? Crown Princess.”
Idina covered her face with both hands. In fact, before marriage, she had just gained weight to an average degree, but recently her cheeks has become more puffy.
Killian thought that she was so cute and looked at her with a loving expression every time, but to Idina, it came across as a subtle stress.
“Am I eating too much?”
There were quite a few people who came to her to build connections after entering the imperial palace. Among them were people in the same situation as Idina-pregnant omegas.
However, everyone unanimously agreed on the same thing.
Omegas were not that uncomfortable when they were pregnant. Compared to betas, their bellies didn’t stick out as much.
However, Idina herself saw that her belly was sticking out even more than that of pregnant betas.
In fact, she had been eating a lot recently… Considering that, it was natural for her to gain weight.
‘Why do I… eat so much?’
This was exactly what Idina was worried about.
The imperial palace provided everything she wanted, but Idina felt like she was going crazy with her endless appetite recently.
Even as she thought about it, she was heading towards a nearby table where some of the fruits the empress had just given her were placed.
The maid who was watching Idina sitting on the bed and staring blankly at it naturally supported her.
“The fruit that Her Majesty the Empress gave you is very fresh, Crown Princess.”
“As expected……”
Idina naturally moved, unable to resist the maid’s words, and reached for the Empress’s gift.
The fruits the Empress had prepared were not just seasonal fruits. There were also plenty of things like oranges that were relatively easy to store.
In the meantime, the maids had peeled the oranges, and Idina began to eat them one by one.
“This is it…….”
Sweet and sour. Idina felt like she was going to die from happiness as the juice burst in her mouth.
These days, she really felt like she was living for the taste of food…. Maybe even more than Killian…….
Idina, who had unintentionally compared the fruit to her husband, shook her head and muttered.
“The twins must have a huge appetite…….”
“Don’t worry too much. My mother ate a lot when she was pregnant, and she said that thanks to that, the babies were born healthy.”
Idina’s eyes quickly sparkled as she heard a little bit of comfort.
“Is that so?”
“Yes, of course. How happy it is that you haven’t even had morning sickness yet. The babies in your belly are already filial children, Your Highness.”
“Right….”
She heard that many people suffer from morning sickness, but fortunately, Idina has not experienced it yet. It was one of the things she was most worried about when she was told she was pregnant, but it was also very surprising.
However, Idina muttered while looking at the mirror on the side table near the wall.
“But my face is so round. Maybe His Highness thinks I’m ugly…….”
…What if that happens?
Before she could continue talking like that, a deep male voice rang through the room.
“There’s no way.”
Killian, who was busy with other things during the day and rarely showed up, was standing on the door of Idina’s room for some reason.
“I won’t think so.”
“Killian!”
As Idina tried to jump up in joy, Killian quickly stretched out his long legs and approached her. There was a hint of urgency in his hands as he hugged her tightly.
After confirming that she was safe, Killian let out a small sigh and made a joke.
“No matter how happy you are, don’t overdo it.”
Idina smiled brightly as she looked at Killian, whom she rarely saw except at night these days.
“What’s wrong? Haven’t you been very busy lately?”
Idina’s eyes sparkled. Killian suppressed the urge to kiss those pretty eyes, and sat her down for a moment. Then, he glanced at her and the maid quietly left.
After the sound of the door closing, Idina was the first to gently kiss Killian on the corner of the mouth.
“That’s bad.”
Killian narrowed his eyes at Idina’s comment.
“What’s wrong with wanting to see my wife alone?”
“You kicked her out. You could have just said it gently.”
“That person was also aware of it, so she let it go. It wasn’t because she was forced, but… Idina.”
Then, as if trying to cover up her nagging, Killian kissed her. Their lips overlapped gently, and his tongue entered gently. It wasn’t a deep kiss, but Killian felt the fragrant orange scent spreading inside Idina’s mouth and smiled quietly.
“I guess you ate some fruit today too.”
“Yes, Her Majesty the Empress brought it.”
Since there was already a lot of fruit on the table, he wondered where it came from. Emperor Escass had been with him until just now, so it was obvious that it wasn’t him.
He was a little relieved that the source was the Empress, but he wasn’t completely off guard.
Idina, who noticed Killian’s subtle psychology, gently pulled his nose.
“Her Majesty has no ill will.”
“I know, that’s the kind of person she is.”
“But?”
“……”
Killian’s eyes sank. He hesitated for a moment as if thinking about something, then quietly placed his lips on Idina’s cheek.
“If you say yes, then yes.”
“Killian.”
