For The Glory Of Sitia Empire - Chapter 74
” Why are you two coming late? ”
” because Lennox is an idiot ”
“…” ×3
Jennings, Annasophy and Bun-Bun were all speechless at the unexpected answer, and even more stunned by the fact that Lennox didn’t bother to respond to her. Rather, he looked lost deep in his thoughts.
Everly walked directly to Jennings instead of her seat. She slightly pulled on his sleeve as she asked.
” Can Everly sit with your majesty? ”
” I will be glad if you would, little Eve ”
Annasophy protested as Everly climbed on Jennings’s lap. She pointed at both her father and Lennox.
” Why is it always the both of you?!! I want to spend time with Evey too! ”
Jennings placed a piece of steak in Everly’s mouth, gently caressing her hair. He responded to Annasophy as he looked at his son in confusion.
” dear, you can’t pressure her to stay with you. If Evey wants to, she will willingly come to you ”
Everly stopped chewing on the steak. She frowned and forcefully gulped it down.
” that is not right. I want to play with lady Anna too. But I am busy with work ”
“…” ×3
Naturally, this so-called work was her fake position as an imperial gourd. All she did was following Jennings everywhere and sometimes bothering Carson. Awkwardness filled the table before they decided to brush the topic aside.
Meanwhile, Lennox whose busy mind could not stop him from shoving everything in his mouth, continued to stare at nothing.
Jennings said with a concerned voice after seeing his daughter put her fork down.
” Anna, you have barely eaten anything ”
” sorry. But I am really not hungry, dad ”
Jennings’s eyes clouded. His daughter looked pale and hasn’t been eating properly for the last few days. He decided to let the imperial physician check on her later.
” I am worried ”
” well, if you want to stress yourself, then you should worry about what that brat is thinking. He looks like someone planning for war ”
Jennings chuckled slightly, but the smile soon disappeared from his face. Was it really a joke? That’s his son, Lennox, after all. The chances are weak, but it’s still possible.
Jennings had an odd expression as he hesitantly asked Lennox.
” Lenny, you are not really thinking about it, are you?….Lenny? ”
Unfortunately, Lennox was out of reach at that moment. Even after Jennings poked his cheeks that were full of food a couple of time, there was no response.
‘ what is wrong with my children?? One is sick and doesn’t want to eat, the other is angry for some reason but forcefully chewed anything given to her, while the last one has gone crazy, yet he swallowed everything edible as usual…..parenting is hard ‘
Seeing her father lament his restless life, Annasophy grabbed a loaf of bread and threw it at Lennox. The later did not dodge it as usual, instead, he caught the flying bread with his left hand.
Lennox raised his head to look at the woman who would go to hell for stupidly wasting food. However, the moment his eyes laid on her, Lennox jaw dropped. Now that his senses returned to him, he could feel the strange thing about her.
” fuck…”
” what is it? ”
With his son’s reaction, Jennings became alerted. Lennox schooled his expression, he motioned for the umbrella butler and Whispered something in his ear before answering Jennings’s question.
” Nothing much. This bitch is suffering from late periods ”
“…..”
Annasophy angrily kicked her chair and stood up, she said gritting her teeth.
” so what if my period came a bit late? It’s normal, stop acting like you know everything ”
” normal? What are you? a fucking teenage? ”
Annasophy’s patient dried completely, she stomped her feet and left the hall, shutting the door with a loud bang.
” Lennox, son. This is not something you say casually like that ”
” But I am not wrong ”
Lennox shrugged his shoulders at Jennings’s sigh. He wasn’t lying, but he also did not say the truth. The peace continued for a few seconds until Everly opened her mouth.
” what is period? ”
“…!”
Lennox had a sly smile as he stood from his seat, he said in a mockery tone before leaving behind Annasophy.
” good luck giving sex education, old man ”

At the princess’s bedroom.
Annasophy sat on the couch as her maid prepared the bed. She had asked to add an extra mattress because of the unreasonable back pain she was getting recently.
Bang
The door to her Bedroom was kicked open. As expected, it was the mannerless Lennox. Annasophy rolled her eyes as looked at the young boy walking towards her in disgust.
” what do you want now? ”
Lennox did not answer her, instead, he looked at the maid and said.
” you. Get out, and don’t come back for the day ”
The moment the maid left, Lennox asked with a serious expression.
” You fucked with him, didn’t you? ”
” huh- ”
Lennox interrupted her, he crossed his arms and continued to speak with a stoic face.
” I don’t think that coward would have intended it first, so you must have seduced him ”
” what does any of this have to do with you!! ”
Annasophy shouted in rage. Lennox was yet to respond when the door was knocked, it was Bun-Bun.
” My lord, I have brought young master Raon ”
” let him in ”
Immediately after Lennox words, Raon entered the room with a worried and confused expression. Lennox did not wait for them to ask any further questions.
” Although I am not supposed to take care of your shit, I will do it for the old man’s sake ”
He waited until Raon was close to both of them, then said what he had to.
” you are fucking pregnant. Two months of pregnancy ”
Rain’s eyes widened, his pupils shook, while Annasophy wore a grim face. She already suspected it, but never dared to actually check on it. Raon asked in trembling voice.
” is, is that true ”
” it is true. I have a business outside the capital, I will be back in a few hours. So you two stay here and discuss what to do with it, are you keeping the child or not ”
Lennox paused for a moment. He waited for the two to properly process what was going before continuing.
” before you make any decision, keep these things in your mind. That thing in your womb has already formed a soul, if you plan to abort it, then we are not talking about a sack of meat but killing a living being. Second, this guy is still not even near to getting the old man’s approval, if you was to introduce yourself, it’s certain that he will object to this ”
Lennox turned his back to them, he walked a couple of steps before stopping right in front of the door. He added.
” I want both of you to settle on a decision. If I returned and you are still hesitating, I will do what I see most suitable ”

He opened the door and headed to where he suspected Everly to be.
