Chapter 8

After meeting Calix, I’m going to file an appeal to His Majesty, the Emperor. I need him to do something about this damn forest·····. Although he might not take seriously the appeal raised by the daughter of a nobleman.

In fact, I was more of a problem than the forest or the emperor. I can’t believe I walk around without a servant even though I knew I’m pregnant.

How outraged would Calix be if he knew? I feel dumbfounded with myself too.

‘I’m gonna have to take extra care of my body from now on. I must never forget that I am pregnant.’

I sighed with a belated resolution. After clearing the last vines and entering the light, a normal flower garden, not a forest, unfolded.

I blushed and diverted my gaze. Alice laughed as she looked at me.

“By the way, aren’t you hungry? I saw they sell crepes over there. Should I get some?”

Alice asked, pointing to the crepe stall. I think for a moment and nodded. I was just getting hungry. I can’t make a grumbling noise inside the train cabin. I don’t want to advertise that I’m hungry.

Alice grinned and said before turning,

“Then I’ll go get it. Please wait a little longer. Scream when someone approaches!”

“Yes!”

I nodded with a solemn look. I have to be careful in such crowded places. If a weirdo approaches and talks to me, I’ll kick him in the shin right away.

And if I scream promptly, Alice will come running and save me with magic.

While watching the surroundings and staying alert, there was a disturbance on the other side of the station.
