He Stole My Children I Refused His Crown Chapter 08
Only then did I step forward.
“I came here because someone publicly spread false rumors that I was meeting a lover in secret. I needed to prove, in front of two members of the royal family and all these cameras, that I never entered this room.”
I looked at Celeste, who was still wrapped tightly in Lucian’s coat.
“But there’s one thing I don’t understand. Prince Lucian claims the person in there was just an ordinary staff member, yet the dress she’s wearing was custom-made for Celeste by Redhaven Pack.”
“What theater employee would be wearing her private gown?”
The moment I finished speaking, a shrill scream tore through the corridor.
Seeing the fake snake by her feet, Celeste flung off Lucian’s coat.
“Snake! Get it away from me!”
She was wearing nothing but a slip and lace undergarments. Though her stomach was still flat, one hand instinctively flew to her lower abdomen.
Then she covered her mouth and bent over, retching.
At the same time, several wolves with sharp senses caught the scent of pregnancy hormones beneath her perfume.
“She’s pregnant?”
Princess Beatrice and Princess Marian exchanged a look.
“Lucian, what exactly is going on?”
Lucian’s face was a rigid, pale mask.
“I received intelligence that there was a Cassian spy in the theater. Celeste just happened to be trapped here. I was only protecting her.”
No one believed him.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“So the heir to the throne prefers to search for spies in bed.”
