'Father..?'
That was the last thought inside the woman's mind. She wasn't even given the chance to name herself.
"Huh?"
Elena and Ella both looked at her in shock. Aleshia looked at her bitterly. Someone was already bearing the child of her master. It didn't feel well for her who was the first maid. She should have been the first one.
"Ah, should I have kept it a secret, Master?"
Aezel looked at Lawrend awkwardly.
"No, it's fine. Aleshia already knows."
Lawrend shook his head and explained to her.
"I see. So what do you think?"
Aezel turned her head to Aleshia and asked her.
"I'm not comfortable."
Aleshia replied honestly.
"Fufufu. You chose not to, right?"
Aezel could guess from Aleshia's reactions that she didn't get 'it' inside her.
"Y-Yes. I don't want to be left behind by Master, so I chose not to."
