The night after Beatrix exposed herself to the public, Prince Andrew developed a new habit of trespassing into the general's mansion! He could easily do it by using the art of invisibility, levitation, and teleportation. After he successfully entered, he will make an illusion to fool everyone, especially Zander. He would sleep in the woodshed thinking it is the bedroom then hug a log thinking it is his wife the whole night!

After dealing with his love rival, he will create another illusion to fool Beatrix into thinking that he is Zander. This way, he was able to get so close to his beloved Beatrix! He laid beside her in bed, he could cuddle her, caress her cheeks, kiss her lips or neck freely, and smell her fragrance while talking about her plans, and even just some random things about her... This is also the reason why he found out about her plan to visit a brothel called 'Ecstasy'. When you know the details, it is so easy to arrange a trap and punishment for Zander! Why? Because he hates him for being the lawful husband of his woman!

He wants more than just lying in bed and talking about things. He wants to be more intimate with her, to make love to her, and to make her his woman but she always refused saying that he needs to behave because the baby inside her womb will be disturbed...

He gritted his teeth while thinking that Zander's child is like the father! The child is preventing him from achieving his goal and happiness! He chose to endure and not force her because he heard gossip that one of the officials forced his concubine who is already pregnant to serve him. It ended in severe miscarriage and the worse part is it affected the woman's womb making her unable to get pregnant anymore! He could not force Beatrix for fear that she might suffer the same fate as that woman making her childless her whole life! He wants her to give birth to his child... No, he wants several children with Beatrix! The more, the merrier! Contrary to most men, he prefers beautiful daughters! As beautiful as Beatrix! He imagined that they will be so cute little versions of Beatrix so he intend to spoil them rotten!

But sadly at that time, he does not have a choice but to endure the existence of Zander's child. Once Beatrix gave birth to the child, there are many ways to send the father and child away! Or if Beatrix insists on keeping the child, he could accept the child but the father has to go! When he heard that the child is finally gone and his Beatrix is safe after the miscarriage, he resisted the urge to give thanks and offer precious gifts to the heavens!

One down, one more to go...

But he suddenly remembered something important! He worriedly asked the imperial physicians if his Beatrix could still conceive. He noticed that the imperial physicians were surprised and looked at each other weirdly but he does not care! He needs to know if his Beatrix could still bear him children but if not, that is still okay! When they told him that Beatrix could still conceive, he felt so happy! That was also the time Zander appeared with an unkempt appearance so he decided to go... If he was not busy interrogating General Ardor and Lady Andrea, he would probably prepare a banquet to celebrate! He smiled while lying on his bed as he recalled those incidents...

Soon, this mansion will never be lonely and my nights will never be cold anymore since my rightful Imperial Wife and Princess is going to enter its gate very soon... The next time my Beatrix gets pregnant, I will be the father!!!

Beatrix is so pale when she saw the scene before her! In the middle of the woods on the way to the capital, she saw a familiar carriage! It is the carriage usually used by her husband to go to court meetings. It is destroyed with many blood splashes and slashing marks on it. The surrounding is littered with the dead bodies of Zander's guards!

Beatrix and the other guards she brought immediately scanned the area for any sign of survivors. Her heart is thumping wildly as she immediately checked inside the carriage but there is no one inside. No sign of Zander!

Soon, one of the guards told her that they found Zander nearby! She immediately went to the area and found another litter of dead guards and Zander is between them with several serious wounds, still breathing but dying from severe blood loss! The person who did this made sure that he will not die immediately but die very slowly and painfully as he struggles to breathe and fight for his life! Beatrix immediately cuddled Zander in her arms while crying miserably...
