The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid -
Chapter 383: Vile Suggestion
Chapter 383: Vile Suggestion
Since Prince Leonard did not mention that I should be expecting a guest, I didn’t think that I would walk in to see Prince Leonard conversing with his elder brother. Just when I thought that I should make my retreat because I seemed to be stepping into their private conversation, Prince Leonard’s eyes spotted me.
“Oh Mila, you’re finally here,” he called out to me as if he had been waiting for me to arrive.
“Yes, I just got back,” I replied.
I could feel Prince Darius’ gaze rest on me and that made me feel slightly nervous. Although this wasn’t my first time meeting him, I could never get used to his presence.
“Darius will be joining us for dinner,” Prince Leonard answered my unasked question as if he could read my mind.
I nodded my head before making my way to the dining table where the two of them were already seated.
“Sit next to me,” Prince Leonard instructed.
I could feel Prince Darius following my every movement with his eyes as I took my seat next to his brother. I wondered what the two of them had been discussing before I joined them.
The maids did their job so smoothly and swiftly at serving our food before stepping away to give us the privacy that we needed to converse.
“Like I was saying, you need to start focusing and delivering on the results before father steps in to take matters into his own hands,” Prince Darius warned his brother again.
“I don’t want to talk about this anymore,” Prince Leonard replied in a clipped tone.
“I’m going to keep on nagging you about it, until you make some kind of commitment,” Prince Darius said without backing down.
I glanced between the two of them as I wondered what they were referring to. I would be lying if I said that I had absolutely no clue what they were talking about. Every word that they said seemed to fit very well with the matter of us conceiving a child who would hopefully turn out to be an ultimate Alpha. I suddenly felt anxious and then the food in front of me didn’t look at all appealing to my eyes.
“Honestly, we are committed. We’re doing everything we can without holding back. I think it’s just a matter of time and we should just give it a rest already,” Prince Leonard said with clear annoyance.
“I know that there’s nothing wrong with you because we always get our regular checkups. If that’s the case, then maybe something is wrong with her,” Prince Darius said as his eyes glanced over at me accusingly as if I had committed a crime that I was unaware of.
By the time I was certain that he was discussing my ability to conceive. Just like all of those medical exhibitions that we had visited, I wondered if I was one of the women who had infertility issues. Prince Darius had just mentioned that Prince Leonard probably wasn’t the problem, then perhaps the problem truly was me.
“Stop making nonsense guesses,” Prince Leonard immediately replied in my defense.
I wasn’t sure how I felt about my fertility being discussed between two men right in front of me as if I wasn’t sitting there with them.
“It wouldn’t kill her to get a test,” Prince Darius pointed out.
“She’s been to see the doctors a few times already, and the doctors think that she is fine,” Prince Leonard pointed out.
“Then perhaps the issue lies in your compatibility with her,” Prince Darius suggested another alternative explanation.
If I had known that Prince Darius was waiting for me back at Prince Leonard’s palace and that we would be discussing this matter over dinner, I would have stayed to have dinner with my friends Instead at the Sacred Chambers. I didn’t think that I would regret my return to Prince Leonard’s palace, but I found myself regretting my decision more than ever.
Prince Darius’s eyes glanced over at me pointedly as if he was silently asking me if I had anything to say for myself. I casted my eyes downwards in fear of meeting his intense gaze because I didn’t have a sound excuse to offer. The atmosphere felt so tense that it became almost suffocating for me. Just when I wished that Prince Leonard would step in to help me, the prince spoke up.
“Can we talk about this some other time?” Prince Leonard said lazily as he tried to brush off the entire thing.
I wasn’t sure whether he was considerate of my feelings or if he simply didn’t want to deal with this issue any longer.
“How long can we possibly put this off?” Prince Darius asked before letting out an exasperated sigh.
Even I had to agree with Prince Darius that I wasn’t sure how long we could put this issue off before someone stepped in to solve it for us.
“I don’t know why everyone is trying to make it out to be some big issue when it isn’t even a problem in the very first place. Regina and Salena are both pregnant so that means that we have two potential babies that could turn out to be Ultimate Alphas already,” Prince Leonard complained openly.
“The king expects you to make your contribution,” Prince Darius replied smoothly.
“Is this supposed to be some kind of donation campaign?” Prince Leonard replied sarcastically.
“Well if you’re not going to do anything about it, I guess as your brother I should do something about it,” Prince Darius declared as if he had reached his own conclusion about the matter.
I cocked my head slightly to the side as I wondered what he was planning in that mysterious head of his. The way his eyes landed directly on my face told me that his plan involved me in some way and I started feeling uncomfortable inside.
“Should we give it a try?” Prince Darius said so casually that I wasn’t sure what he was actually referring to.
“Excuse me?” I managed to respond in a soft murmur as I struggled to comprehend his words.
I had already gotten a very bad feeling about what the prince was about to propose.
