Princess Andrea’s mobility had become limited and her body was much fuller than it once was. If anyone were here, they would have noticed that the jewel of the Subila Kingdom, the princess longed for and adored by countless people, was pregnant without being married.

Her blonde hair was tied up high, and her beautiful face, which was originally young and tender, had a mature flair. However, thanks to her divinity, her appearance did not seem to change in any way.

Many nobles and royalty of San Soliel possessed a lot of resources, making it easy for them to raise their profession. Even if only a few of them could reach legendary rank, having a high profession meant that they possessed a strong body and longer life expectancy.

Additionally, this world had the existence of magical potions and spells. Under the charm of money and power, there would always be mages who would provide special medicine to allow these nobles and royalty to maintain their appearance until they were near death.

Money and power were the solutions to many problems for humans no matter what world they are in.

“Your Highness, which outfit are you wearing today?”

The maid serving the princess had a glint in her eyes. She was one of the very few people who knew that Andrea was pregnant, but she did not know who the father of the child in the princess’ belly was.

With Andrea’s age, she was ready to become a political bargaining chip to marry someone, but the emperor had been under house arrest for several years with nothing happening. The two princes did not dare to kill their own father for fear of having the label of regicide, so Princess Andrea’s marriage had been delayed. Additionally, the two princes coveted their sister, so they were reluctant to have Andrea marry.

They had even had a private discussion that the winner would obtain everything, not only the throne but also the ownership of Andrea’s body.

“Emma, I’ll just wear the one from yesterday.”

Andrea said in an elegant tone.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The maid named Emma found the loose dress the princess wore yesterday. In the past, Andrea always liked to wear a corseted long dress, but now that her belly had bulged, it would look too strange.

‘If it goes on like this, I won’t be able to hide it anymore. I must settle things before the child I have with His Highness Louie is born. It’s time to end it.’

Andrea thought so and her eyes shone.

She stood in front of the mirror, long accustomed to letting the maid dress her. She asked seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, “Emma, has there been any recent news from Royal Brother Amos?”

Emma continued to dress the princess and replied without raising her head, “How could I know about the matters with His Highness the second prince.”

“Is that so… but I heard that you have been getting very close to Royal Brother Amos lately.”

Andrea’s sentence caused Emma’s hand to stiffen. The button that should have been easy to button slipped her hands.

Emma hurriedly put the button back on and lowered her head, “Your Highness, who did you hear that from? Please don’t be fooled.”

Her voice shivered a little and panic flashed across her face as she bowed.

Andrea sighed and suddenly looked at Emma with a sad expression, “Emma, you have been with me for more than ten years, right?”

“It’s been fourteen years, Princess.”

Emma’s face paled as she stepped back. Knowing that she had been exposed, she did not continue to argue.

“Can you tell me why? What made you betray me?”

Andrea’s tone was sultry as she looked at Emma with indignation and regret.

“Princess Andrea, there is no way for me to survive by following you. The salary for being a maid in the palace is good, so I can’t die, Your Highness! I still have my younger brother and elderly parents outside. They need my salary as a maid in the palace. Without it, my parents and brother can never live in the royal capital. If we leave the capital, we will have nothing.”

Emma laughed miserably. She gritted her teeth and determination flashed in her eyes.

“So you sold my information to Royal Brother Amos?”

“Yes, Princess Andrea! His Highness Amos promised me that once he won and became the king of Subila, I would be allowed to continue to serve as your maid. I am different from you. I am just a small maid. Whether His Highness Aldrich becomes king or His Highness Amos becomes king, you will be fine, but as your maid, I am bound to be killed. The two princesses will never allow the maid who has been taking care of you to survive. They will kill all those who are close to you!”

Emma took a deep breath and told Andrea everything.

“You chose to betray in order to survive and feed your family. If so, although I can’t forgive your betrayal, I will not blame your family.”

Princess Andrea said with a faint sigh.

Emma was shocked to hear this. She knew that Andrea was prepared to call someone to kill her. Although Andrea was in a state similar to being on house arrest, no one would say anything about the execution of her servant.

Emma panicked and gritted her teeth. She took out a dagger from her sleeve and put it on Andrea’s neck while putting her on a neck lock, “Your Highness, please don’t move! I don’t want to kill you. I have always respected you, but for my survival, I have no choice but to do this!”

After a pause, the maid added a hint of advice, “Princess Andrea, His Highness Amos is now angry because you are pregnant with a bastard child from who knows where. And you…”

Without being able to finish her words, Emma felt pain in her heart. A short sword penetrated her from the back. The sword was bloodless as if the weapon sucked it all up.

At this moment, Emma heard a cold male voice coming from behind her, “Insulting the child of our god is a sin. May your soul suffer under the roar of the dragon!”

These were the last words Emma heard as she lost consciousness.

As Emma’s body collapsed, two more shadows appeared and took her body away. They did not leave any bloodstains at all in the bedchamber, worthy of being called professionals.

“In any case, she has also served me with all her heart for more than ten years. Since she has atoned for her sins with her death, send her family a sum of money to take care of themselves with.”

Andrea did not bother to look at Emma’s body. She went to a chair and sat down.

“How merciful you are, Your Highness Andrea! Your child with my lord will surely be a merciful monarch as well.”

The male who had killed Emma stepped out from the shadows. His entire body was covered in pitch-black religious robes embroidered with the holy emblem of a nine-headed dragon. This was none other than Bazel, a bishop of the Church of the Dragon God who was in charge of the dark side. He possessed a legendary rank status as both a priest and an assassin!

“Please be sure to pay attention to the child in your belly. Even though our god’s child will not die easily, you should still be careful.”

Bazel walked up to Andrea and bowed in greeting.

“Thank you for your help, Lord Bishop!”

Andrea faced the bishop of the Church of the Dragon God. She did not dare act like a princess. Andrea knew that if she did not have the child of the Dragon God in her belly, this fanatic believer of the Dragon God would not care about her status at all.

She would just be a typical mother with a child.

“With your power, you would not be in any danger facing mere mortals. I am just overstepping my bounds.”

Bazel, who had a refined face that was not reminiscent of an assassin, said gently.

“Bishop Bazel, how are things progressing?”

Andrea asked. She knew that the farce over the throne was coming to an end. She would be the victor and the child in her belly would be the heir to the once-greatest empire. Then, she, under the shelter of the Dragon God, would be able to walk the path of becoming a god!
