Chapter 223 Western Palace‧Prostitution Chief Guard (16)

When Margery woke up, her father was sitting by the bed looking at her lovingly.”Father.” She pushed herself up and tried to sit up, but Alexander pushed her down.

“Honey, you need to get some rest.”

“What’s wrong with me?” Her body was limp and powerless, and Margery felt that everything was wrong.

“You…” Alexander hesitated before replying, “You are pregnant, my dear.”

Pregnant?

At first, confusion came over me, and then came surprise and shock. She was actually pregnant?!

“The father of the child,” Alexander’s voice became softer and softer when he saw his daughter looking at him with confusion, “it must be Arthur.”

“Father?” Margery’s eyes really widened at this moment, “How did you…”

“How do I know?” Alexander touched his daughter’s face. “After you first fell in love, what other man did you see besides that boy?” He seemed to recall the shy way his daughter used to peek at Arthur, with a nostalgic smile on his face. “Although I don’t worry about anything, I still know which brat my daughter likes. You must think I’m cold,” he said suddenly, “I know you are interested in someone, but I keep urging you to get married.”

“Father, please don’t say that,” the girl held his hand, “I know you are also forced to have no choice…” Even without Alexander’s urging, she would not be able to be with Arthur now.

“This child came at the wrong time.” The girl lowered her head. There was no sign of pregnancy on her flat belly. She couldn’t help but put her hand on it. Is there really a life here? “I want to remove it.”

“What?!” Alexander was shocked.

“I want to get rid of this child.” She repeated it softly, and Margery didn’t know whether she was answering her father or trying to convince herself.

Having a child out of wedlock is a huge stain for her, and her political status is unstable. It is conceivable that once her ambitious cousin finds out about this, he will definitely unite his party members to criticize her.

“Before he takes shape,” the girl said in an unusually calm tone, “remove it as early as possible, the less risk there will be of things leaking out.”

“I don’t agree!” Alexander couldn’t help but raise his tone. “I know what you are worried about, Lily, but this is your child. You…as his mother, can you bear to deprive him of his life?” Seeing that his daughter was silent, he hurriedly looked for other reasons. “Besides, are there not many members of the royal family with illegitimate children? Your cousin has a lot of illegitimate children outside, and your grandfather. When his illegitimate child was revealed, he had just ascended the throne not long ago.”

“But they are all men.” Margery said coldly. In this world, women have to bear far more malice than men. A prince who gives birth to a child out of wedlock can be considered a romantic, while a princess will only be accused of being debauched.

“So, what about Queen Elizabeth?!” Alexander seemed to have found support immediately, “She is a noble woman.”

Queen Elizabeth was a monarch in the history of the Kingdom of Kosay, and she also had many illegitimate children.But Margaery just shook her head: “Father, don’t you understand? If my position is stable, no one would dare to disobey me, let alone my having a child out of wedlock. Even if I find ten or eight male pets to hold a dance openly, would anyone dare to say a word?”

But this is not the case. The Kosai Kingdom currently has both internal and external troubles. If such a scandal were to spread at this time, I am afraid that Margaery would be deprived of her right to inherit immediately.

“There are too many lords who are dissatisfied with me as the heir,” the girl smiled slightly, the smile was bitter and shallow, “Isn’t this the reason why you have been urging me to get married? Find a strong husband so that you can use political marriage to pave the way for the succession.”

Therefore, this child cannot be recognized. In this case, simply do not give birth to it.

Arthur must hate her. Thinking of that man, Margery felt her throat tighten.This is her and Arthur’s child… the child she had longed for, the child she had imagined in her sketch of the future, but now, she wants to kill this child with her own hands.

The news that Her Royal Highness the Princess was pregnant was tightly sealed. Alexander tried hard to persuade his daughter, but had no choice but to send his confidants to secretly find a reliable midwife.Margery’s work was forcibly stopped. Abortion was not a trivial matter. Alexander told her seriously that she must take good care of her body before removing the child.

Margery agreed to her father and lived a life of idleness that she had not experienced since she was fourteen years old.

In fact, which princess is like her? She never attends dances unless there is a political need, doesn’t like beautiful dresses, and rarely holds tea parties with her female officials and attendants. She is buried in government affairs every day, and even when she goes out for hunting, she has to get together with the lords to communicate.

Only a fool like Arthur would like a boring person like her.Men love the delicate and cute golden bird, but that guy likes to stick to her cold face.

Margery still remembered the first time she met Arthur, when he was still the lowest slave in the Colosseum.Because of a baron’s whim he was pushed into a cage and ordered to fight a tiger.This is how the scar on his face came about. Just before his throat was about to be torn, the seven-year-old little princess said in a cold tone like a little adult: “Stop that tiger. I like this dirty boy and I want him to be my bodyguard.”

In this way, Arthur became her bodyguard. He was cleaned and carried to the princess. The dirty boy turned out to be very handsome. The little princess jumped down from her seat and walked up to him amidst the kind eyes of the adults who were watching the fun. She raised his chin with her little hand and said, “From now on, you have to listen to me, do you understand?”

The boy didn’t answer at that time, and everyone thought he was frightened. After all, he was just a slave. Without a joke from Her Highness, he would have died long ago.

His life was changed by the princess, and after that, he completely dedicated his life to what even Margaery said casually at the time – obeying the orders of Her Highness the Princess at all times.

If Arthur knew that she was pregnant and had the child removed, would he say those words again? As long as it is your order, I will not disobey it.

The girl laughed at herself. It was really scary. She obviously made this selfish decision, but she still hoped that someone else would help her share her guilt.Arthur was on the battlefield now, and he would never know that he had been a father.

With a bang, the door was pushed open hard.

The tall man, still smelling of wind, frost and blood, walked in quickly, his armor clanging on the ground with a clanging sound. He knelt down, raised his face and begged her: “Your Highness, please keep the child, please.”
