The Cursed Prince

Ahh... Seeing her daughter being this cute and adorable, Emmelyn felt something in her heart that couldn't be described with words.

After everything that she went through, she didn't regret all of them if the end game was to have Harlow in her life again. This was what she lived for.

Emmelyn didn't know that having a child with the person she loved would feel this amazing. She could see a part of her and Mars on the child they conceived and raised. As her husband said, Harlow took after his physical appearance and her personality.

Anyone who knew the couple would be able to see their legacy in their offspring. Harlow was truly a testament to their love for each other.

Emmelyn now wondered if they had another child after Harlow, would they also take after Mars in appearance and take after her in personality? Or would it be the opposite?

Maybe it was a couple being on the same wavelength, apparently, Mars was thinking exactly the same thing. Seeing Harlow and Emmelyn sitting together, he couldn't help but think how alike their gestures and attitude were.

The man leaned closer to his wife and whispered seductively in her ear. "Honey, I hope our next child will look like you. I really want to see little Emmelyn in our home."

Emmelyn coughed and patted her chest when she heard his seductive words. She was reminded that last night when they had sex, her husband released his seeds inside her. He didn't ask her opinion before he did that.

Well, he actually never needed to ask because when they had sex in the beginning, it was strictly to conceive. He wanted and needed an heir badly.

It was also the reason he entered into an agreement with Emmelyn. She could get her freedom and her kingdom back if she gave him... three heirs. It was just a coincidence that they ended up falling in love with each other and finally got married.

After Emmelyn was pregnant with Harlow, Mars thought there was no use to ask where he should cum every time they had sex because it didn't matter anyway. She was already pregnant.

However, now that Emmelyn was no longer pregnant, shouldn't he ask her opinion on the matter? Shouldn't Mars ask Emmelyn if she was okay if he got her pregnant again so soon?

Ugh... Emmelyn wanted to smack the man for what he did last night, but she realized she was also at fault for not talking to him about it before they had sex. She was too horny to think about the matter, and she bet he was too.

When Mars cummed inside her, Emmelyn was also still on cloud nine. She couldn't care less about what was going on in the world. So, she couldn't blame him this time. Mars was probably too aroused to think straight, she decided.

However, for the next time, Emmelyn thought she had to set things straight. She wouldn't want him to release his seeds inside her when they had sex.

What if she got pregnant again so soon? Emmelyn remembered she became pregnant with Harlow almost immediately after they had sex for the first time.

It means that this man's sexual prowess was strong enough to get her pregnant, maybe on the first try.

GULP.

Emmelyn swallowed hard. What if she got pregnant right away this time too? She didn't want that to happen.

They would need five months of travel to reach Draec, assuming that Gewen, Edgar, and their men arrived in Castilse soon and they go home immediately.

Would she want to be pregnant while on the road? Of course, not. It must be really uncomfortable. In addition to all the bodily discomforts and crazy pregnancy hormones that she had to endure, the long and arduous journey might have negative impacts on her pregnancy.

Emmelyn was already traumatized by her first that left her scarred for life. If she would ever get pregnant again, she wanted it to be as peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable as possible.

Was that too much to ask?

No, right?

"I don't want to get pregnant again," Emmelyn suddenly blurted and she put down her spoon on the table. Her words shocked her husband greatly and he looked at her with a sad expression.

Mars was disappointed that Emmelyn claimed she did not want another pregnancy.

Was she still traumatized by her pregnancy and difficult childbirth?

The man held his breath. It felt like something heavy was placed on his chest.

If that was the case, if Emmelyn was really traumatized, then Mars would understand and never try to ask her to conceive again, even though it was very disappointing and sad.

"Why...?" He decided to ask Emmelyn softly.

Mars tried to hide his disappointment and keep a straight face. It was their first time having breakfast together as a family. So, he didn't want to ruin the mood.

"Well... one easy reason is we are still far from home," Emmelyn explained her reasoning. "I don't want to endure a difficult pregnancy while we are on the road. You realize we will need AT LEAST five months to reach Draec?"

Mars swallowed. She was right.

Dammit. He didn't think this far last night when he was aroused and all he could think about was more chubby children from her.

"I'm sorry..." He sighed. "Last night..."

"Don't cry over spilled milk," Emmelyn said. "However, we should try to avoid pregnancy as much as we could."

"Understood," Mars hurriedly replied.

What she said made a lot of sense and he couldn't agree more. Deep inside, he was relieved that Emmelyn didn't actually object to pregnancy. She just didn't want to get pregnant while they were traveling.

However... what should they do if she ended up getting pregnant from last night's activities?

Emmelyn cleared her throat. She was also thinking about the same issue. What if she became pregnant immediately?

"If we found out that I become pregnant while we are on the road, we just have to travel much more slowly and in a relaxing manner. I don't want to have any stress," she said firmly.

Mars's eyes immediately lit up. He bobbed his head and smiled so broadly. "I  agree. We'll do it as if we are on an extended vacation. We also have Bruinen with us. He could help check your health and treat you and the baby."

Emmelyn winced when she heard how enthusiastic her husband was when he said 'you and the baby', like he was very sure Emmelyn would immediately become pregnant.

Meanwhile, Harlow pouted when she realized these two people were no longer paying their attention one hundred percent to her. What? They were even talking about another baby???

She dropped her silver spoon to the floor and then stared at her father.

CLANG CLANG

"Huh? Why did you drop your spoon, sweetheart?" Mars turned to Harlow at the sound of the spoon touching the floor.

Horatio had bent down and picked up the spoon from the floor before Mars could do anything, and replaced it with a new one.

"Here you go, Your Grace," said the royal butler with a smile. Harlow accepted the spoon and started playing with her food again, like nothing happened.

Mars mouthed his thank you to Horatio and turned to Emmelyn. "Where were we?"

Emmelyn whispered to his ear, "I don't want to become pregnant immediately. Tonight, when we have sex again, you shouldn't cum inside."

Mars didn't even hear her last words about he was not to cum inside. His brain only picked up that tonight they would have sex again.

He immediately smiled from ear to ear.
