Ah… that was right. Elise was pregnant when she left. Loriel didn't know it until the court physician told him.
That was the reason that prompted him to chase after Elise. That was the reason why he was so desperate to get her back.
Knowing that Elise was pregnant with their child made Loriel took the curse of immortality and bear the loneliness for fifteen centuries… so he could see her again and keep her safe, and meet their child.
The man couldn't let anything happened to his wife since she was pregnant. Elise had a weak body, just like her mother, the late queen of Myreen.
Her last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and it was so heartbreaking. After the incident, Loriel vowed to never let Elise have any more miscarriages.
He was careful and always checked her condition every day after they became intimate. He wanted to be ready and prepared should the next opportunity came.
