《The Cursed King》Chapter 50 - I Was Joking

Advertisement

"Wifey, I was joking," Loriel finally decided to stop his tease. He saw how guilty Elise looked because he 'accused' her of violating his privacy.

Suddenly, he didn't have the heart to keep playing her. She looked like she was about to cry.

Elise looked up and stared at Loriel with a confused expression. "Wh-what did you say?"

The man grinned and stepped forward until his front body almost touched hers. Then he tugged her chin and said, "I was joking when I said you violated my privacy by entering my chamber to get my clothes. I did say I want my clothes here. So, you did the right thing."

For a moment, there was no reaction.

Elise was stunned by his statement. And then, she pursed her lips. They started to tremble as tears slowly streamed down her face.

Apparently, she was so distraught earlier because Loriel said she violated his privacy.

As the unloved wife, Elise knew her place. She felt like she always had to tiptoe when doing things, so her husband wouldn't dislike her even more.

She wanted to do things that make him happy and feel that her presence brought more benefit than nuisance. So, she was very conscious of his reaction.

Any signs of negative response would make Elise know that Loriel disliked certain things and she would never do it again.

She honestly thought he was serious when he said he didn't like her entering his chamber and rummaging his stuff.

But it turned out, he was just joking?

How could he do this to her?

"Why are you crying?" Loriel was confused when he saw tears streaming down hard from her eyes. He thought Elise would be happy and relieved to know that he wasn't serious with his words. But she was actually crying?

What a crybaby!

Now, Loriel started to feel annoyed. Elise was too uptight and didn't seem to have a sense of humor.

Elise shook her head and wiped her tears with difficulty.

Gosh... she was obviously crying but she dared lie and said she was not crying? Did she think Loriel was blind?

"What? Are you offended by my joke?" Loriel asked curtly. "I was just teasing you. I thought you would get the joke."

Emmelyn would get his joke and play him back.

However, Elise was too uptight.

His mood was ruined by her tears.

When Loriel saw her at the entrance, looking so beautiful and alluring, he was immediately turned on and wanted to spend some time with her, perhaps making out and then making sweet love together.

He had been missing her body for more than two months while he was away. It was so hard to stay in the frontline, especially after he just consummated his marriage with a really sexy wife.

Her beautiful face, her naked body, and her sexy moans were all he could think about as he lay down to sleep in the tent alone at night.

Now that she was here with him, Loriel wanted to vent his longing for her body. That's why he kissed her and took her to her chamber.

But now the mood was gone. He just wanted to go to his chamber and sleep.

So, Loriel shook his head and turned around to leave the chamber. Elise could only cry as his back disappeared from view.

Only after he ate dinner alone and got the court physician to check on his health, Loriel find out the reason why Elise was crying so easily today for the most trivial reasons.

She was pregnant and it affected her mood terribly.

"What did you say?" Loriel asked the physician to repeat the information he conveyed in passing just now. "She is pregnant?"

They just did the deed once, right? Well, several times, but in the span of one day. And she was pregnant already?

"Are you sure?" Loriel asked again.

Zaff the physician nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. Ah... I am sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. I thought Her Majesty has told you about it because I saw you both kissed and then went to her chamber. She must want you to hear it from herself."

Zaff was quite close to the king, so he didn't feel the need to pretend not to see Loriel kiss Elise earlier today.

Loriel furrowed his brows. "No, she didn't say anything. She just—"

His mind went back to the event several hours ago. Elise was crying before she could tell him that she was pregnant.

Because he made her cry with his stupid joke.

Now, Loriel realized how inappropriate it was to tease his wife with something that she was obviously tip-toeing about, and at the time when her pregnancy hormones made her mood messed up so terribly.

"So... how many months in?"

Loriel suddenly realized his question was stupid but he couldn't help it. The question was already out of his mouth.

Since he only had sex with Elise over two months ago, that means she must be in her first trimester now. People said the first trimester was the most difficult part of pregnancy since the body started experiencing so many changes that could affect the woman's physical and mental health.

"Don't answer that," Loriel hurriedly said. "So.. during her pregnancy, she will be easily upset and I have to expect a lot of tears?"

Zaff nodded. "Well, it's different for each woman, but based on my observation, the queen showed that tendency. So, her feelings are very vulnerable. Please don't make her stressed. I think her body is quite weak. You may need to provide extra care for her."

"Understood," said Loriel.

He let out a long sigh. The man turned around and looked outside the window at the emerald tower where her wife's chamber was located. What was she doing now?

Was she still crying?

She didn't come to the dining room to eat dinner together with him. Did she even remember to eat something? Gosh.. that woman.

Shouldn't she pay attention to the baby in her womb?
