Chapter 35: Oops
Another invitation was sent out by the emperor and empress requesting everyone to arrive at the great palace three days before the date. It was so compelling.
Aqua hurried Milan to help her pack stuff, since she was constantly feeling dizzy. "Aaron must not be that bad as people say right sister,"
"Shut up and call the maids for me," Aqua said to her sister, fanning. "Why is it so hot in here? Open the curtains"
"It's not Aqua, it's a chilly day outside, are you okay," Milan told her.
"I don't know, I don't feel good, it's been several days," The maids walked into the room packed the bags for the sisters.
Aqua asked for something cold to drink and laid down in her bed. After sometime, the maid woke her up and in shock withdrew her hands from Aqua. Kneeling down, the maid began to apologise.
"What happened?" Milan asked seeing the scene.
"I don't know. What's wrong?" Aqua asked the maid herself, standing on her feet, holding on to the poster of her bed for support.
"The lowly self touched the celestial dragon, please forgive me your highness, I didn't mean to to hurt you,"
"The what?" Milan and Aqua asked together. The maid looked up in wonder.
"The princess is carrying a celestial dragon inside her," the maid said.
"Carrying what?" Aqua asked again. "How can I carry something huge?" she asked recklessly. She couldn't think further.
"No, we are the descendants of the spiritual dragon, shenlong, don't you know that, we control the air, rain and water, dont you know as a maid what realm you work for?" Milan asked the maid.
"No, it's not that, crown princess is carrying a child, she is pregnant, her body is hot because of the tianlong growing in her, there is a presence of a celestial dragon in her" the maid said the truth out. And that was so unexpected.
"Pregnant," Aqua said and sat down on her bed. Milan stood there shocked, like a lightening struck her. Both going pale and mouths open. Looking at each other unbelievably.
"How could it be?" Milan looked at her sister. "How could it be? You, have you been doing things with Huo'er? When did this happen? she questioned her sister. " How can this happen, how could you sleep with him with a situation like this? We are in trouble do you know that?"
Aqua reached for Milan's hands, looking pale. She was sweating all over.
"I feel dizzy and something inside me because am pregnant, " she realised finally and yet couldn't accept it. "It does makes sense," she looked down at the maid.
"Never ever open your mouth and disclose to anybody, you hear me?" Aqua ordered the maid. Except the three of us, no one in the universe must know about it. "You will be my personal maid today onwards and won't step out of my chamber without my permission, also accompany us in the journey tomorrow, prepare for everything I will need, I don't know a thing about being pregnant, don't let my mother near me," she instructed the maid and her sister together.
Auqa grew tensed inside unable to come up with anything. She touched her belly with her hands, thinking of Huo'er, surely she cannot let him know about this with a risk he is holding onto. she didn't want him to put through extra matter that would sink him. And she was worried about how to overcome the situation, walking into the lion's den with in few hours and not get caught.
Aqua recalled the time she spent with Huo'er in the tree hut by the river the night she rescued him from the demon king. The steamy night he and her got together and let him unite with her. "It must be from our first time together, " she told herself.
Aqua blushed at the very thought as she recalled how he kissed her and ran his fingers and tried to change her thoughts. "But is he not a descendant of Dilong, and half demon how come the fetus is a celestial dragon's blood," she wondered. "and I have an air sign," it looked so mysterious.
