"Four months?" Kyren repeated in disbelief.
Anna stood beside him, speechless. Her eyes were wide and shocked as well.
"Yes, Your Highness! About four months ago, we travelled from the border to Gantz under His Majesty's royal decree to bring Lady Raychard here. We crossed mountains and sailed back on a cog ship. Due to her sickness, you took care of her yourself. She was with you throughout the entire journey. There's no other explanation than to say you are the father of the child," Ayden explained.
Kyren's gaze remained unblinking. The assistant healer's remarks about their journey were undeniably accurate. Even as he allowed his wife to attend her cooking class in the galley, he still secretly peeked at her, ensuring she was always in his view.
"For months of pregnancy… the voyage…" Luke muttered to himself, but loud enough for the other knights to hear.
