Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Novel

Chapter 1150  Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures

Crystal Palace…

"You're so carefree, Valerie," Aur said as he looked at the Dragon Princess, who was busy making a wreath of flowers.

"If everyone could be carefree like me, I would probably be very happy," Valerie replied as she completed the wreath in her hands. She then placed it over Aur's head, making him look like the handsome Dragon Prince he was, who was adored by Dragons and Dragon Borns alike.

For some reason, Valerie not only forgot about Lux but also Aur's true gender. In her eyes, the person in front of her was the Dragon Prince of the Crystal Palace, who was also her close friend and confidant.

Valerie didn't feel any romantic feelings for him. However, she had unconditional trust in him. The last time Aur tried to prove that she was a girl to Valerie, the Dragon Princess fainted for an entire hour before finally regaining her senses.

At that time, she had forgotten almost everything related to Aur being a girl, which frustrated Aurelia very much.

In the end, she gave up and pretended to be a Dragon Prince in front of Valerie, who was spending some time in the Crystal Palace as a peace emissary from Karshvar Draconis.

Ever since the Abyssal Invasion started in Elysium, the two Dragon Kingdoms temporarily set aside their differences and united against one enemy.

Because of this, Valerie was given permission to visit Aur anytime she wanted.

Both kingdoms hoped that the two would tie the knot and become a couple, ushering in a new era of peace between the two Kingdoms.

The funny thing was that the Dragon King was aware that Aur was a girl. This was also why he allowed his daughter to visit the 'Dragon Prince' anytime she wanted.

Aside from that, it was good for his daughter to spend some time with someone her age, aside from her two handmaidens Ali and Ari.

Lady Faustina and Lady Augustina watched the two from a great distance away. Both of them were having their afternoon tea together as they kept watch on the two Dragons, who held the fate of both of their kingdoms.

Suddenly, something happened that made both ladies frown.

Valerie, who had just been talking to Aur a moment ago, turned pale and started vomiting. Aur was already by her side, rubbing her back and allowing her to release everything inside her stomach.

Ali and Ari sported worried looks on their faces because of the sudden discomfort that their Mistress was feeling.

The two adults then appeared beside the Dragon Princess and checked her complexion.

Valerie's face was pale, and she looked quite unwell. Because of this, Lady Faustina held her hand and placed her two fingers over her wrist, checking her pulse.

A moment later she frowned as she looked at the beautiful princess in disbelief. "What's wrong?" Lady Augustina asked. "Did something happen to her?"

Since Valerie was visiting her kingdom, it would be a big deal if something bad were to happen to her during her stay.

The two Kingdoms were currently in an alliance due to the Abyssal Threat, and for the time being, she liked to keep it that way. "I need a second opinion," Lady Faustina stated. "Check her pulse, and tell me what you think."

Lady Augustina knew that her sister wasn't someone who liked to overcomplicate things. Because of this, she placed her fingers over Valerie's wrist and checked her condition.

Suddenly, Lady Augustina's eyes widened in shock and disbelief after discovering Valerie's true condition.

"Aunt, what's wrong?" Valerie asked after seeing the shock on Lady Augustina's face.

As a Supreme, very few things could make the older lady react in this manner, which made the Dragon Princess very anxious.

"Is something wrong with me?" Valerie asked. "Am I going to die?"

"You're not going to die," Lady Faustina replied in a heartbeat. "But there is indeed something inside your body."

"Something inside my body?"

"Yes. Valerie, stay calm and listen to me okay? I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to answer me honestly. Do I make myself clear?"

Thinking that she might be suffering from a serious illness, Valerie nodded with a serious expression on her face.

"You are pregnant," Lady Faustina said. "So, tell me, who is the father?"

Valerie looked at Lady Faustina in confusion before her eyes widened in shock. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet - novelenglish.net . bin

"I am pregnant?" Valerie muttered in disbelief. She then looked at Aur with a hint of realization on her face. "Mother said that Dragons get pregnant when their hands are held by men. Aur, you have been holding my hand every time I come to see you…"

Lady Augustina and Lady Faustina didn't know if they should laugh or cry after hearing Valerie's words. Just like the Dragon King, Lady Faustina also knew that Aur was a girl. This meant that it was impossible for her to get Valerie pregnant even if she tried!

Aur glanced at Ari and the latter nodded back at him.

Unlike the clueless Valerie, both of them knew who the father of the life that was currently growing inside her womb was.

But, just as Aur was about to tell Valerie the truth, her face also suddenly turned pale.

The next second, she hurriedly walked away before coming to a complete stop and vomited.

Valerie cried out in alarm as she ran towards Aur, and rubbed 'his' back, just like Aur did to her a while ago.

Lady Faustina and Lady Augustina glanced at each other with grim expressions on their faces.

After Aur finished vomiting, Lady Faustina held her hand and placed her fingers over her wrist.

Half a minute later, a sigh escaped her lips, making her look at Aurelia with a complicated look on her face.

"Excuse me, but I have to confirm something," Lady Augustina said as she also held Aur's hand, and checked her condition.

She then looked at Aur with wide eyes, disbelief written on her face.

"Am I pregnant?" Aur asked Lady Augustina directly. "Tell me, Aunt."

"You are indeed pregnant," Lady Augustina replied half a minute later. "Is it safe to assume that he is the Father?"

The Dragon Princess nodded, confirming the Steward's conjecture.

"Who is this person?" Lady Faustina, who had forgotten who Lux was, asked her sister. "Is he also the Father of Valerie's child?"

Valerie, who thought that Aur was the one who got her pregnant, was horrified to find out that the other party was a girl.

"Aur," Valerie said anxiously as she held onto the Dragon Prince's arm.

"Don't worry, Valerie," Aur replied as she held the Dragon Princess' hand. "I will handle everything."

If news were to spread that Valerie was pregnant, things would become chaotic in the Kingdom of Karshvar Draconis.

Likewise, if those within the Crystal Palace discovered that their Prince was actually a Princess, and even more so pregnant with a child, it would cause mass confusion among their people.

"Aunt, let's go to Karshvar Draconis," Aurelia said with a resolute expression on her face. "I need to talk to the Dragon King."

Lady Augustina sighed and nodded her head. She had a feeling that she knew what Aur was planning. 'This matter has to be settled quickly,' Lady Augustina thought. 'The last thing that either Kingdom needs is a scandal.'

After drinking some medicine to help both of them recover, Aurelia held Valerie's hand and stepped into the Portal that would lead them to Karshvar Draconis.

'Desperate times call for desperate measures,' Aurelia thought. 'Don't worry, Lux. I will protect Valerie while you are away. Leave it to me.'

Aurelia knew that if she didn't take the initiative to talk to the Dragon King, the latter might do something reckless, which would lead to dire consequences.

In order to prevent that from happening, Aur decided to take the only logical approach that would save the honor of both Dragon Kingdoms, who were busy fighting against the Abyssal Monsters that were currently being led by the Outer God, Nyarlathotep.
