"You should have told me that my daughter is carrying a child." The queen hissed the moment they arrived back to the realm. 

The princess fainted due to stress and is currently in Shohei's arms as they are walking in the hallways. He brought her to the queen's room and placed her down carefully on the bed. Her cheeks were tainted with tears, so he gently cupped it before wiping it. He looked at her hand and saw the wedding ring on her finger. If he will take that ring off, will she forget the love she got for the crowned prince? 

"I know the king's weakness." Reiki said after taking his seat on the couch. Gia raised a brow while looking at him. 

"You're his weakness, Gia. Have you ever thought of that?" She quickly looked away and took a deep breath. How is that even possible? 

"I'm not his weakness. He was not even grieving when I killed myself a thousand years ago." She crossed her arms on her chest. 

"You might be tough but you're a dumb one." He snickered and she glared at him. He has the guts to call her dumb. 

Instead of arguing, both men left the mother and the daughter alone inside the room. She felt relieved knowing that they are safe in the realm but she started to get worried when she learned that she is pregnant again. Is that the reason why the war ceased for a decade? She doesn't really know what happened but once Fuyu wakes up, she will know the truth. 

Reiki's words kept on lingering in her mind. She felt ridiculous when he said that she is Riku's weakness. If that is the truth, why didn't he fight against Reiki when they were taking Fuyu away from the underworld? Questions filled her mind up and now, she is getting more confused. Until now, she still believes that the king never loved her. He just wanted her to be the carrier of his heir. He never said that he loves her. 

Words may not be necessary between them. She can count with her fingers on how many times they talked to each other. Another thing is bothering her. How did he know that she is existing? Did he already know that her mother will give birth to her? Did she and Fuyu share the same fate? 

She shook her head and shoved that idea away. She should not think things like that. Though she always wanted to know how he found her. How can a king find someone like her? There are some things better left unsaid. It is also for her own sake. She might sound selfish but she thinks of her safety now. She doesn't want to live in a place that gives her unwanted danger. 

She was living peacefully in the human world but because of them, it is never peaceful again. She is having doubts, not only for Reiki but also for herself. Are they doing the right thing? Now that she learned that she will have another grandchild, the king, especially the prince will do their best to take them back to the underworld. They might not really be that safe in the realm. 

She was cut off from her reverie when Reiki went inside the room again. She just thought he would stay there but she furrowed her brows when he held her wrist and pulled her out of the room. He brought her to his room and locked the door. Her heart started to beat fast when she realized he wants the payment already. She never thought he would want it now. 

She gasped softly when their lips touched. Her hands automatically went on his chest and gently caressed it. She was slowly getting immersed with his kisses when she decided to stop him. She keeps on thinking of the king. Why is she thinking about him? The man in front of her is Reiki. He is not Riku. 

"You're not Riku." She mumbled while staring deep in his eyes. She just noticed now that Reiki got light brown eyes instead of dark ones. She didn't really give him much attention before. 

"I'm not Riku. I'm not him. I will never be like him." He said in his softest voice he can ever give to her. 

He claimed her lips once more until he finally got her in his bed. She gripped tightly on the bed frame while he's taking her from behind. She tried to keep her body up but she is getting tired quickly. She rested her upper body on the pillows and buried her head on it while moaning softly. He got his hands on her waist and inner thigh and she keeps on squirming since he is caressing one of her most sensitive parts of her body. 

"Reiki.." She called for him while feeling the sensation that his warm palm is giving on her inner thigh. He never stopped from moving even though her body is already trembling because of pleasure. 

He kept his pace fast but still with gentleness. She didn't really want to compare but among the three brothers, she is enjoying it more with Reiki. She whined softly when she felt his lips on her bare back. He started to leave kisses on it. The only thing he will leave to her body is his seeds. He doesn't have any plans on leaving marks on what he really doesn't own. It is not really his intention to defy his younger twin but since he got the chance to do so, why not do it? 

Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as his hair is already soaked with it as well. He let out a soft but sexy groan when he finally can feel that he will fill her up soon. She started shaking her head when she realized he had no intention of pulling it out. She knows she is fertile. She will get pregnant if he will release it inside her. 

"Not inside.." She whispered when she lifted her upper body. She closed her eyes and moaned loudly when he kept on hitting her sweet spot. 

"Not inside, Reiki.." She repeated but she gasped when she felt his warm seeds deep inside her. Her body trembled in pleasure. 

His palms looked for her abdomen and started caressing it. She got her back resting on his chest and both are panting heavily. He got too much warm fluids inside her. He kept on caressing her abdomen as it eases her trembling body. He slowly pulled himself out and reached for her clitoris to make her release her orgasm. She gripped on his hair gently and pulled it until she released it. 

"I will wait for my child from you soon." He whispered to her ear and she just shut her eyes, accepting her fate that she became the carrier of the three brothers' children.
