"Your Majesty, your wife is pregnant." Zaff barged into Loriel's room and announced the good news.
"What did you say?" Loriel asked the physician to repeat the information he conveyed in passing just now. "She is pregnant?"
They just did the deed once, right? Well, several times, but in the span of one day. And she was pregnant already?
"Are you sure?" Loriel asked again.
"Your Majesty, it is easy for a woman to get pregnant when you engage in—"
"I know that. I'm not stupid." Loriel held a hand up and rubbed his forehead.
So was Elise's crying a symptom of her pregnancy? Despite him not knowing, his actions were terrible enough to elicit tears. "Argh, how could I be so stupid?"
The royal physician did not know what to say to the man who called himself stupid and not stupid at the same time.
