She had blonde hair and green eyes. She was a perfect example of beauty. Her glasses reflected the light and for some reason, it made her look really wise. But she looked like someone I knew.

Demetrius gave me a long look before heading out of the room. I sighed. He was getting on my nerves now. If he did not talk to me the next time I was going to see him, I would truly be mad at him.

"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Emma Reerba," she bowed at me. "I am Ezekiel's older sister."

So, that was the reason she looked familiar. Except for her eyes, she looked like Ezekiel, my personal knight. While she had green eyes, Ezekiel had gray eyes that made him look rougher.

She checked my full body so there was no place left. It was embarrassing. I was counting in my head that how many people had seen me naked by far.

"Your Highness, I applied the healing medicine on your body. All the bruises will be gone by noon. I would prefer using the slightly weak one, but His Highness ordered me to use the strongest one so the bruises will be gone as soon as possible," she muttered.

"... Yeah," I mumbled.

"But I think something else is wrong," she said.

"What do you mean?"

"Is Your Highness taking pregnancy preventing medicine?"

"Ah, yes," I replied.

"I thought so. It's having a side effect on your body," she said knowingly.

She talked a bit like Ezekiel. Both of them had serious faces, but Ezekiel's face was much more serious than hers. Even though she talked in almost the same manners as him, she was a bit easy-going than him. Truly saying, he was kind of unapproachable because of his serious face kind of like Demetrius. While Ezekiel was hard to approach, Demetrius was impossible to approach.

"What kind of side effect? Is it something serious?" I asked.

"Yes, it's actually making your body weaker. It's not supposed to happen, but since Your Highness is a human, the side effects are taking severe forms."

"What side effects?" It was not me who asked. Demetrius had suddenly burst through the door as if something huge transpired.

'Honestly, you should knock. It is basic manners. But of course, it's my husband we're talking about.'

"Uh, Your Highness, are you having headaches these days?" she asked, looking at me. She was caught off guard as well.

"Yes, she does," he answered for me. It was true that I had complained about headaches for the past few days.

"And is your menstrual bleeding regular?"

"Is it?" I asked, glancing at Ruby.

"Still not sure as Her Highness has been here for a month only," Ruby said.

'Ah, that's right. But it feels like I have been here for a long time. Perhaps it's because I'm comfortable here.'

"What about dizziness? Does Your Highness feel dizzy sometimes?"

"Yes," I nodded.

"Breast tenderness?"

"No," I said while at the same time, Demetrius said, "Yes."

"What? When?" I asked.

"Two nights ago, you said this when we were..."

"Okay, okay, I understand," I quickly cut him off before he said something embarrassing. "Yes, I have breast tenderness though not regularly."

"And because of all these side effects, your body is getting weaker. All the medicines here are made for werewolves. Werewolves' bodies are five times stronger than humans. That's why the medicines here are not that suitable for humans. Even the healing medicines should not be used too many times on humans as it can weaken the human bodies," she explained.

"So you mean..."

"Yes, Your Highness, you should stop taking the pregnancy-preventing medicines," she said.

'What? Then what if I get pregnant? Demetrius and I haven't talked about it yet.'

I could not say a word. I looked at Demetrius's face, which held no emotions at all. He was almost always like this. This face of his hardly ever changed.

"Alright. Is there anything else?" he said.

"No, Your Highness," she said.

"You can leave now, both of you," he said blankly.

"Yes, Your Highness."

They bowed and left. I kind of wished they did not leave. I could not think of facing him right now. What would I say to him? What would he even say to me? Would he yell at me again?

"Will it be a problem for you if you don't take the pregnancy-preventing potion?" he asked.

"... It's not like that..."

"Then what is it like?"

"I... I just don't..." There was no point in being indirect about this. If he wanted to know the truth, I should tell him that. He could think whatever he wanted. But still, it was necessary for me to express myself. "I actually don't plan on having a child at this moment."

"You don't?" he muttered. "Is there any particular reason for that?"

"Yes," I said. "I'm only eighteen. There are more things I want to see and learn. There are a lot of things I want to experience. And I want to get to know you better. So, I personally don't want to have children right now.

And when we first met, you said that you didn't marry me just to have heirs."

"So you mean to say that you don't want children because you want to live freely for a while at least?"

"Y-Yes..."

He smiled all of a sudden. It was the last thing I expected. But his smile was too sweet for me to bear. It was like the way his lips curved into a magnificent shape was driving me crazy. It was a usual thing for me to wonder every now and then that if it was a dream that I was married to him. For some reason, it was very hard to believe.

After all, I was just a normal human and he was a mighty werewolf, and most importantly, he was handsome as hell. How could someone so good-looking be my husband?

"I'm glad you told the truth," he said with the heart-stealing smile of his. "I was worried that... I was worried that you're too afraid of me to tell the truth."

'That's your fault. You're too intimidating. But I think I'm getting used to it. It's not as scary as before.'

"To tell the truth, I don't want a kid at all," he said.

My eyes widened with shock. What was he saying? In novels, I never read that a king did not want an heir. It was the first time I was hearing such a thing. No matter how strange his thoughts and view of the world was, it was far from my expectation.

"I don't like kids. They are annoying. There are some reasons that I don't want children. First of all, as I said, they are annoying. Secondly, giving birth is hard. And since you are a human, giving birth to an Alpha's son is even harder for you.

I don't want to see you in pain. And thirdly, I don't want a kid who will look like me or have any of my characteristics. If the kid is like you, then it's okay. But I don't want someone like me. That's why I don't want any kid," he said.

I did not want any kid right now, but it did not mean I did not want to have any kid at all. After some years, if a kid came along, it would not be a bad thing. But what was he saying all of a sudden? I never thought he felt this way.

"But why?"

"Why what, my wife?"

"Why don't you want a kid like you? What's wrong with having your appearance?" I asked. 'You're quite handsome.'

"Isn't it obvious?" he smirked.

"... You are handsome and you know it. It can't be your looks," I muttered. "Then it must be your personality..."

"Right?"

"What? It's really about your personality? I was just joking..."

"My wife," he said as he took steps towards me and stopped right in front of me, leaving almost no space between us, "do you think your husband's personality is good?"

"No."

"You didn't even think about it," he chuckled.

"That's because it's obvious," I said. "Well, no one has a good personality. Just think about it. Does anyone in this world have a pure heart? I don't believe so. Everyone has a side of them that's dark.

That's how humans are made after all. There is a blend of dark and light inside humans. And I think werewolves are the same. There is both light and dark in them. So, when I said you don't have a good personality, I didn't mean it's just you. If we think thoroughly, don't we all have bad personalities?

It's true that you have some traits that are not positive and some traits that I don't like, but who am I to complain? It's you, right? You can't change who you are no matter how much you try. So, there isn't any point in hating yourself thinking that you have a bad personality."
