Chapter 179 – Chapter 178. Chu, Congratulations
Go back to your dream
At those words, Asti stopped thinking for a moment.
It was because I couldn’t understand the meaning of what Berashien was saying right now.
A dream usually means a dream that one dreams while sleeping.
However, the story Berashien is telling now, and the dream it refers to, must have a different meaning.
“As before… Is it a story about returning to Asti’s original world?”
At Leopold’s question, Asti finally understood Veracien’s story.
She was forced to fall asleep by Vera Sien and couldn’t function properly. At that time, the place she fell was originally Asti’s world.
There she lost her memory and led her normal life, and after regaining her memory, she wandered around, and met Leopold, who came to visit her, and had a hot night —
【Calm down.】
At Astrid’s words, Asti’s thoughts flashed back to reality.
It’s not the time when she’s thinking these things.
No matter what she thinks, it leads to a hot night with Leopold at the end of her thoughts.
“Yeah, right. It’s a story about going back to that world. But this time I’m going to do it a little differently.”
“If you do it differently… ?”
Asti’s voice trembled slightly.
She could understand that she was going into a dream as before.
But what if Leopold doesn’t come this time? What if the two of you can’t meet because of a difference?
Such unknown anxiety surrounded Asti.
“There is something called contemplation. It is to look back on what your life was like and the traces of that soul. It’s not an easy spell, but it has to be the most accurate. Where did you come from, how did you dwell in Astrid’s body, and why do you have the same source? I think this will be the most accurate way to find out these things.”
Leopold and Asti couldn’t answer Veracien’s words.
According to her words, that would certainly be the most accurate.
It is, but why?
I was anxious.
“There is nothing to worry about. It’s not like I’m dropping it in that world, it’s just watching and coming back.”
“Leo, no, is it necessary to go with Your Highness? Even if I go alone… “
Asti had a secret she couldn’t tell Leopold.
In other words, she was originally a man.
Can Leopold fully accept Asti, who was such a man?
Last time, for some reason, Asti was the same as she is now, the same as a woman, so there was no problem, but now the story was different.
Retracing the traces left on her soul, Asti thought, was tantamount to discovering that she was originally a man.
She is a woman who was originally a man.
One day, she suddenly fell into a woman’s body, and now she has a child.
Could Leopold really not harbor resentment towards such a woman?
Asti had that kind of fear.
“It would be better if we went together. I don’t know what you’re going to see, but if Astine panics there, it’ll be really troublesome. So it’s good to go together. Even if Leopold looks like this, he is calm and dependable.”
“… That it looks like this is nerve-wracking. What do you mean?”
“It doesn’t mean much.”
Vera Shien smirked at Leopold, who showed his teeth and growled, and waved her hand.
“Aren’t you the prince who is infatuated with women and flirting around? I don’t know Astina Astrid, but it’s not the look of a man who can be relied on, that.”
“I have no intention of being seen as a man you depend on.”
“Yeah yeah, you should be. Anyway, that’s it. Go with Leopold. Then I think you’ll know everything. How is it?”
“Hmm… “
To be honest, Asti was reluctant to ask me to come back with Leopold.
It was a secret that I wanted to hide until the end if possible.
If she shuts her mouth, she’ll let no one know…
—No, there was one more I knew.
‘… Astrid?’
【Why. If you’re talking about changing your body, I’ll refuse.]
‘That’s not it. Dear Highness… That, that… Are you going to talk?’
【What do you mean?】
Astrid’s voice was plain, but on the contrary, Asti’s voice was full of tension.
‘I, I… That he was originally a man… Thing.’
【Ah, that. I don’t want to talk about it.]
‘Okay… ?’
It was fortunate.
However, as long as Astrid is also a human being, she never knows when she will change her mind, and it was difficult to harbor such anxiety.
Maybe he could tell Leopold the truth and be forgiven…
【Hey, I understand what you’re worried about. There are two reasons why I won’t tell you.]
‘What, what is it?’
To say that there were two reasons, Astrid was also quite logical.
【One, please let anyone know that the Crown Princess of this country was originally a man. She should think of the majesty of the imperial family. Besides, if rumors circulate that Seson’s mother was originally a man, what kind of disgrace is that?]
‘That, that… Isn’t it enough that you know His Highness… ?’
【Do you know how many ears there are in the imperial family? Even the maid who empties her garbage can listens to the story of the imperial family. Haven’t you heard that the imperial family is the place where even the walls have ears?]
After all, is there any other place where rumors spread faster than the imperial family?
There was a joke that everyone in the capital would know what the emperor ate for breakfast and what was left in the afternoon, so I said everything.
‘What about the other one?’
【It seems like you’re asking because you really don’t know, so I’ll answer, but look at what you usually do.】
‘What about me… ?’
【Are you serious? No, cancer like you… No, no. Because it’s not good for prenatal education… People laugh at me when I say that a natural woman like you was originally a man. At least Ashley won’t believe it.]
No this is a bit
However, Asti did not refute.
I don’t think that’s wrong.
“Anyway, I don’t want to waste any more time. Are you going to do it or not?”
Leopold seemed to be pondering for a moment.
But that thought didn’t last long, and he soon nodded.
“I don’t think it’s very manly to dig into my rain’s past, but if that’s what it takes, I’ll do it. Asti, how are you?”
“… Me too, I’m fine.”
When the two of them reached an agreement, Berashien smiled again in satisfaction.
“Okay, so what? I’ll call you when I’m ready.”
“And isn’t it time for you two to be doing that?”
It was Erana.
Eranya cut in as Vera Shien was about to finish, and she was laughing broadly.
“What do you mean, sister?”
“I mean the two of you. Literally, isn’t it the time to be like that?”
After the tea was relaxed, Asti picked up the one remaining strawberry from the basket and pushed it into her mouth.
The taste is so good that the sweet and sour taste fills the mouth.
“What do you mean?”
Instead of Astrid with a strawberry in her mouth, Leopold asked Eranya, and Eranya pointed her finger at Asti’s stomach.
“Are you not going to tell your father? Before that, you should get tested and check the results.”
*
Speaking of a fish doctor belonging to the imperial family, his skills would be the most certain, but if he received a checkup from a fish doctor, the news would undoubtedly stir up excitement in the imperial palace.
If it’s certain — it’s already certain, but it’s not welcome when the news reaches the ears of anyone other than Kreuz and Wolfgang first.
With such an agreement between Leopold and Asti, the destination was a general hospital in the metropolitan area.
Since patient records are strictly kept secret and treatment records are also prohibited from being viewed without permission in accordance with relevant laws, it may be better in terms of confidentiality.
“Congratulations. You are pregnant.”
It doesn’t seem like it can compare to modern medicine where Asti lived, so it doesn’t seem like it’s been a few weeks or so, but looking at the letters written in ink even though it’s a big pregnancy on the judgment, I felt strange inside.
“By the way… The patient.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Because you seem famous.”
That’s right, Asti’s appearance is quite famous.
Even in the entire empire, it is very rare silver hair, and if it is this beauty, perhaps it is more strange not to know.
“Ah, that, that’s right. Yes, actually I… “
“Here’s your name on the medical record.”
On the document the doctor held out, the name Astrid von Mitterien was written on it.
“… Yes yes yes I’m the lady of Mitterien… No see.”
“Okay. Then the father of the child is also.”
“Shh.”
To stop the doctor’s words from flowing out, Asti put his index finger on his mouth and made a shhh gesture.
The doctor nodded her head slightly, perhaps as if her unspoken look in her eyes, saying that trouble would arise if she added one more word there.
“Anyway, that’s for sure. From now on, be careful with your movements, and it seems that you are in the early stages of pregnancy, but vigorous movements are absolutely prohibited at that time. You know?”
“All right. Please keep the fact that I went here today a secret.”
“Of course.”
Asti took another look at her medical records.
The words “Her Pregnancy” Appeared especially large.
‘Kid… ‘
Your Highness, my child.
I rubbed my stomach.
Now, let alone inflated, the ship is only mandling to the extent that one wonders what is inside it, but even so, there must be life growing inside it.
‘Your Highness, my child… ‘
Asti muttered that to herself and smiled happily.
“What happened?”
Leopold, who had been waiting in her waiting room, jumped up from his seat as soon as he saw Asti coming out of the clinic door.
It didn’t take too long, but Leopold felt like decades had passed.
“How is it? Asti, I’m curious.”
As soon as Asti saw Leopold clamoring for help, her face somehow heated up.
Astira, a small sprout sprouted from the field at the end of those actions.
It is a small sprout that is still fragile and so small that it is in danger if even the wind blows.
A sprout like that—
“Ah, you became a baby daddy… Congrats, congratulations.”
With a blushing face, Asti congratulated her.
To the man who sowed the seeds so that they could sprout.
