Chapter 337.2
Men, unless ailing or elderly, typically refrained from riding in carriages on lengthy journeys, a matter of personal pride. However, throughout the entire journey to the capital, the king had not budged from the queen’s carriage. No one dared to openly confront him, but surreptitious glances were occasionally cast in the direction of the queen’s conveyance.
“You should at least check outside,” Eugene expressed her concern, but Kasser paid it little mind. He spoke with confidence.
“Who would wish us harm? Right now, I’m fulfilling the responsibilities of a king.”
“What responsibilities?” Eugene inquired.
“Ensuring the well-being of the next heir is one of the most critical duties of a king. So, I need to contribute to your emotional stability to ensure the safe birth of our child,” Kasser replied matter-of-factly.
Eugene, like many modern people from Earth, possessed a wealth of miscellaneous knowledge. Prenatal education was among her areas of expertise. She began to share her knowledge of prenatal care with Kasser.
She explained that for a child’s healthy development in the womb, not only was the mother’s physical health essential, but emotional stability also played a vital role. A husband’s attentive care was a significant factor, and she emphasized that any discomfort during pregnancy could have lasting effects.
Eugene glanced at him briefly, using her prior words as a pretext. She hadn’t intended to spend the entire day like this. Nevertheless, Kasser’s argument wasn’t entirely without merit, as her symptoms of morning sickness had notably improved.
Though the carriage was quite snug, Eugene relished this precious time alone with him. Ever since learning of her pregnancy, she couldn’t help but feel overjoyed whenever she witnessed his inability to conceal his excitement. They had never spent several consecutive days together like this before.
