Volume 4 Chapter 12 Inquiry Session

*Milly’s Perspective
So Carly and Ms. Annabella are going to have children, huh…
I knew Carly had dragged Ms. Annabella into it, so I thought Ms. Annabella might get pregnant, but I never expected Carly would too… It was supposed to be a prank on Carly, and besides, the pregnancy potion was something I had been looking for to give to Ms. Annabella originally.
But, I couldn’t help feeling a little regretful about giving it to her.
Ms. Annabella is Kent’s favorite.
He might even like her more than me.
When I thought about that, I felt so reluctant to give it to her that I lied and said it was poison.
I should probably report the pregnancy to Kent, but if I do, it’ll come out that Carly and Ms. Annabella committed a crime.
If that happens, it might also reveal my involvement, and Kent might end up hating me. Just thinking about that made me suddenly scared.
So, I’ll let the news of their pregnancies make Kent happy for now, and then try to get him to be lenient with their punishment.
Kent isn’t the kind of man who would punish women carrying his children.
To clean up the mess from my prank, I headed to the breakfast gathering where everyone was.

*Kent’s Perspective
”Everyone’s here, right? I have an important announcement to make.”
Somehow, it had become a routine, and during the usual breakfast time with the concubines, Milly started saying she had a big announcement to make.
Looking around, I noticed Annabella, who’s usually by my side, and Carly, who should be at the end, were missing.
”Milly, Annabella and Carly aren’t here.”
”The announcement is about those 2…”
Milly looked a little troubled.
Everyone who was having breakfast turned their attention to Milly.
Did something happen to Annabella and Carly?
”Did something happen to them?”
”I’ll have two people come in first. Ms. Annabella, Carly please come in.”
The two of them opened the door and entered the room.
Both of them looked pale.
”Alright, everyone’s here. Let’s start asking questions about Annabella and Carly.”
The room erupted in murmurs all at once.
If my ears weren’t mistaken, Milly had just announced the start of a question for the two of them.
”What do you mean by a question? Did Annabella and Carly do something?”
At my words, the two of them stiffened.
”Yes, during the move from Abyss Vena, they conspired to steal fertility and stamina drugs and falsified the records to cover it up.”
At Milly’s words, everyone began to stir again.
I could’ve imagined Carly doing something like that, but hearing that Annabella was involved too left me utterly shocked.
”E-even Annabella… is involved… Is that true? Annabella!”
Receiving my scolding, Annabella shrunk back and replied in a faint voice.
”I-I’m sorry, Sir Kent… I really wanted the fertility drug… I gave in to temptation…”
”I-I was the one who persuaded Head Maid Annabella. Sir… Kent, I don’t care what happens to me, but please forgive Head Maid Annabella.”
I was surprised that Carly was defending Annabella.
I thought Carly would’ve blamed Annabella to save herself, but instead, she spoke up to protect her.
”So Carly was the one who persuaded Annabella?”
”Yes, that’s right. I approached Head Maid Annabella with the idea of stealing the fertility drug to get the stamina drug Milly told me about.”
”I fell for Carly’s scheme. I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist the temptation of having a drug that could let me conceive Sir Kent’s child.”
Hearing about the fertility drug, I remembered the medicine we found in the storage.
”But Milly said that was a dangerous drug! Why would you drink something so toxic? I don’t want a child if it means putting Annabella in danger!”
As I pressed Annabella, Milly rushed over in a panic.
”Kent, the effectiveness of that drug is a myth. In reality, it has a 100% pregnancy rate and no side effects… so Ms. Annabella is now pregnant with Kent’s child.”
Milly’s sudden announcement caused a stir among the concubines gathered in the dining room.
It was a complete surprise to me.
”Milly… is that story true? That Annabella is pregnant with my child…”
”Yes, that’s for sure. Let Lana tell her.”
Lana, who had been watching the situation unfold, spoke up.
”Mr. Kent. Carly and Ms. Annabella are pregnant with Mr. Kent’s child. We just confirmed this with [the doctor]. They are both in their third month.”
Lana has come with even more shocking news.
Even Carly told me she was pregnant.
”Carly’s pregnant too!”
”Kent…. Milly tricked me into thinking that I was taking aphrodisiacs as birth control pills, and after enjoying s*x with you…. I ended up conceiving…”
It’s true that after we moved to Estfort, Carly showed signs of disliking me, but I could sense that she was enjoying our relationship.
”Contraceptives…?”
I, Kent, was struck by what Carly said.
”I’m sorry. At that time, I was thinking about not wanting to bear a child of the Majin Clan. But now it’s different. I heard that Kent… is from Another World. So now I’m happy to be blessed with this child.”
Carly’s eyes were fixed on me.
Her eyes seemed to have a sparkle of infatuation with me.
