My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 169: The Spell

Chapter 169: The Spell

"Hey! Don’t tell me you didn’t even think about marriage?"

Karl asked, his tone filled with disbelief.

Asher looked at the duke and just stared down as he didnt know if marriage was something they wanted.

Everyone will know their relationship once they get married.

Will the duke be okay with it?

"We were worried about the child. Maybe once everything ends, we can think about it."

Felix said and Karl looked at them, visibly confused.

"What’s there to worry about? Isn’t everything okay?"

Felix sighed and after Asher nodded, he explained their worries about the future. Honestly, it’s good they have more brains to think about ways to continue. So, Asher wasn’t upset that they had to involve Karl and Lucas to find out ways.

"Wait a minute...Who are you going to say that your child is adopted?"

Karl asked and Felix and Asher looked at each other. They were first confused about his question and were going to answer him when...

’Obviously to...to-...right...to who?’

"...I mean just others."

Felix said, unsure.

"Why do you even have to tell them about that? You don’t have to explain to anyone about how she was born. When she is with you and you consider her your daughter, she’s your daughter. That’s it. Like Anne...some people still don’t know what your and her real relationship is. Some think she is adopted. And with that, they now can’t figure out if she is your daughter or sister. Leave those annoying people to guess by themselves. Either you do a big announcement with truth to everyone or just ignore them since you are not interested in entertaining their curiosities."

Karl said and Asher and Felix were now quite in disbelief as they didn’t think it was...that easy. Actually, why were they thinking so far? The duke had even done this before with Anne. So..why can’t he do it another time with the other child?

Karl is right...

It really made sense...but,

"...It does sound easy. But what about when she grows up? People’s gossip will reach her and she could believe the lies. And, this is different from Anne. Anne was raised alone. But this child wouldn’t be since Asher would be involved. What about that?"

Lucas asked Karl who then turned to him, answering with no hesitation as he had also thought about it.

"For children...the ones who love them are their parents. They don’t understand those adult things. And...if that’s such a problem, you can tell her the complete story of her birth as soon as possible you feel like she would understand and not take it bad. And...if you think that it will also go bad, then just pray everything will be fine. Everything won’t go as planned or completely okay. And, we can’t make a perfect plan either. So...you have to accept both the ugly and beautiful parts of your life."

Karl said. After that, he again said something.

"This is what I would do if I were to be in your situation. Like you said, stay low during the pregnancy and only show up back when it ends and have the baby in hand. Then just live my life like I want. I wouldn’t give a fuck about what others think. I am not obliged to explain things to them!

But...like I said, this is just my opinion. If you have other ways, you can proceed with it. Since this is your child and the situation is actually quite different from Anne, it’s up to you."

Karl said with a smile that somewhat felt like he was genuinely happy and not a teasing one.

From then on, everyone sank into the silence and the silence only broke when Lucas got up and went to sit next to Karl where they started an argument again.

"Do you also want a child?"

Karl asked out of blue as soon as Lucas sat down. In response, Lucas hit him, not so hard.

"No, thank you."

"Well, I thought you wanted one. Why are you suddenly here? Aren’t you angry with me?"

"Yeah...just shut up or else I will go back."

"Okay okay...don’t go."

Karl said and put his arm on Lucas’s shoulder, then waited for Asher and Felix to say something.

"You guys can think about all you want slowly since you have enough time. But when we meet another time, can I get all the details I want? I have a lot of questions. I have to prepare the gifts in advance. Right...I have to get Anne a gift for being a big sister too!"

Karl said and Lucas rolled his eyes as he knew this bastard will be doing that stupid thing again.

Like how he brought little Anne a little statue of her that was carved completely from gold. She was so little and how was she supposed to use that and...for that? Someone will steal it...

"...What are your questions?"

Felix asked and Karl then leaned in, ready to ask it all. However, he then suddenly paused, remembering something.

"Right! Did you tell Anne about this?"

"...Not yet."

"Is that so? So...when will you say it?"

"...We were planning to tell her when we sort things out."

"...Yeah, that’s good. But you will have to think of something to say to her."

"...Something?"

"I mean about the upcoming family member. She is family so you can’t ignore her like others. You will have to give her an explanation. You should tell us what you tell her in case you are going to lie since if she were to ask us about it, we can go along with it too."

Karl said.

"...I think I would just explain to her that we will have another person with us in the future and me and Asher are going to parent her too. She knows we are together. And...I know she knows Asher is special too."

"She knows? Does she know Asher is an omega?"

"I think, yeah."

"Had she ever said so?"

Karl asked.

"I don’t exactly remember. But, there must have been a time. If not, I wouldn’t think she knows already."

"A-"

Karl was going to say something again but Lucas suddenly disturbed them.

"Wait! You once told me Anne put a spell on Asher and she led you to find him, right?"

Lucas asked.

"...Yeah."

Felix answered.

"Do you know what kind of a spell it was?"

"No. She just said a spell. I never questioned her about it either..."

Felix said, quite guilty.

"...Felix, you know what? If she still has that spell on Asher, maybe...she knows everything already. Even the fact...he is pregnant. Maybe...even more things than what we found out."
