39 Chapter 39
"She's in her room, she's sick."
When Shin heard the news, he was of course concerned that she was sick.
But Belserion's smile made him doubt it, he would never smile if it was something serious.
And then Shin doubted that she would get sick from an illness he couldn't cure.
He could cure her with Life Energy or maybe even with one of his tears.
It is known that Phoenix's tears can heal anything.
In spite of this, he lost no time and rushed to her room.
He would never take a risk when it comes to his wife's life, NEVER!
Shin walked with great strides through the palace and felt really weird.
During his walk, everyone who passed him looked at him with a tender look and a gentle smile.
A behavior that should not take place when the Queen was ill.
Shin arrived after a few minutes of walking and opened the door with great force.
"Irene, are you all right?!" Shin asked with a thoughtful look and a little panicky.
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
Shin heard Irene's voice on his left, so he turned his head to see Irene lying in bed.
Her skin was a little paler than usual and she was sweating a little on her forehead, but other than that, nothing looked unusual.
Instead, she had an unusually dazzling smile, eyes that were tender and full of impatience, happiness and love.
Seeing her like this, Shin calmed down a bit but still approached the bed to sit on the edge.
"Are you in pain?" Shin asked anxiously and lovingly taking her hand.
Irene softened when she saw Shin's panicked and worried face.
He was really cute and charming when he showed his tender side.
"A little but it's bearable," Irene said tenderly.
"Come here," Shin said to Irene.
Irene approached Shin so that he put his forehead against hers and gently caressed her face.
Irene then felt a powerful but gentle and calm Energy penetrate her body and spread everywhere.
The slight pain she was feeling was relieved and her body relaxed, it was emptied of all fatigue and her brain was washed of all negative thoughts.
This energy was so pleasant and relaxing that her eyes closed on their own to appreciate not only this feeling but also the touch and smell of her beloved.
During this time, Shin continued to circulate the Life Energy in Irene's body to relax her and let her unwind.
With all the work she was doing, she deserved it.
However, as he was circulating the Energy of Life through Irene's body, he felt that an abnormal amount of Life Energy was concentrated in her belly.
And upon closer examination, he finally discovered the truth behind Irene's illness.
She was pregnant!
All living beings had a small amount of Life Energy, the larger the amount, the longer the person lives, has improved regeneration and so on.
And that amount of Life Energy in Irene's womb came from the life inside.
Although the amount may seem enormous to an infant, it was not so strange contained in her lineage of the God of Life.
Shin's eyes widened in disbelief and surprise.
Not that he didn't know it would happen, but he didn't think it would happen now so the baby's story had stayed in his head backwards.
Feeling a movement, Irene came out of her trance and world to open her eyes and see Shin's eyes wide open.
At the first second, she wondered what was wrong but she soon realized that he had to learn about the big news.
Irene stepped away from Shin and looked at him with a look of boundless happiness.
To have a child with the man of her life, the most important person in her life, was a dream come true, she was on a small cloud and at the apotheosis of joy and happiness.
"So you know now? I'm pregnant" declared Irene with a bright smile while gently touching her belly.
Yet, despite the overflowing amount of joy, apprehension could still be discerned in the depths of her eyes.
She does not know how Shin will react to this statement.
Will he support her and be happy with her or will he not be able to support her?
But her anxiety did not last long before she was embraced with great strength.
She was surprised by this sudden action, but she was even more surprised when she felt Shin's body shake slightly.
She also felt her shoulder wet in contact with Shin's face.
"I am so happy," Shin exclaimed with a voice of emotion accompanied by small rivers of tears flowing down her cheeks.
Shin's reaction might be overwhelming for some, but Shin had always been reactive to the idea of a child.
In his previous life, he had always taken care of children and had been around them all the time.
Honestly, if Shin had met the love of his life in his previous life then having a child at the age he was would not have bothered him.
He always found that creating and giving life was such a precious, magical and noble act.
An event in a life that could not be described in words.
And now he could feel what it felt like and he could say without a doubt, happiness is indescribable.
Irene, seeing his reaction, didn't find it excessive but rather very cute and endearing.
Some people might think that this reaction was not worthy of a man, that Shin had lost all dignity by crying and reacting like a little girl.
But Irene found it so precious and rare, a man who was caring and loving and even emotional towards his family, it was not an evil but a real person.
A man can cry and he won't lose his dignity, even less so in events like this.
He knew how to be emotional, loving and gentle when he could and protective, powerful, cold and authoritative when he had to be.
Irene went deeper into his embrace to get lost in it and drown in happiness.
She finally had a family of her own! As a result, a few tears also flowed from her cheeks.
They remained in this position for several minutes and finally separated and embraced each other with all the passion and love they had felt until now.
------------
After finishing their little time together and separating, Shin ordered Irene to stay in bed and that she will no longer work and refrain from physical exertion until the birth of the child.
Irene wanted to oppose this, but Shin remained impassive about it, rendering Irene helpless, and she agreed in the face of his determination.
Having won his little fight, Shin rushed to Belserion to tell him the news and that he would take over the kingdom from Irene until she gave birth.
Belserion expressed joy at the announcement but was also terrified of how overprotective Shin already was.
Irene had only been pregnant for a few days and he was already preventing her from making physical efforts.
'This guy will surely be a father-con,' thought Belserion.
Belserion made Shin see reason, and Shin agreed that Irene would continue to work as Queen until the tenth month, but after that he would take over.
Belserion agreed seeing that this was the best he could get and said that after the baby was born, Belserion would take care of the kingdom so that Irene and Shin could enjoy their time with their child.
After that, the rest of the day was all about Shin taking care of Irene non-stop.
He talked to her, accompanied her everywhere, cooked her food, everything!
Then the same evening, they announced that Irene was pregnant to the citizens.
They were obviously all excited and eager to have a dragon princess soon.
The announcement of their wedding in 1 month was also announced.
The evening was largely spent with a big party by the citizens, Shin and Irene.
