Beast of the Frozen Night Chapter 71.1

After the Grand Duke completely disappeared, Anne had to empty her stomach.

Anne, who had been clutching her chest for the successive morning sickness, quickly dismissed the maid and got into bed. As she lay still and caught her breath, the lingering smell that had been bothering her to death until just before seemed to have gone away.

“I bet he wouldn’t notice.”

Why did he suddenly do something like that? When he brought the bread without warning, she couldn’t hide her symptoms when she smelled the disgusting smell of butter that emanated from it. Fearing that he would find out about her pregnancy, she shook him off and even scratched his cheek.

She expected him to be angry about it, but it was rather unexpected that he only went away with a shocked face. Clearly, he had changed, like everyone else.

She thought that it would be better if he would end his whims now due to today’s matter and return to how he was like before. Beyond the silent door, the familiar sound of shoes echoed. As footsteps approached, the door opened violently.

She could tell who it was just by looking at the outline of the shadowy figure. With that size, there was only one person who would come to her room in the middle of the night.

Anne looked at the Grand Duke with frowning eyes as he entered her room with no lights. He always came in without knocking, but this was the first time he’d come in twice in one day.

“I never gave you permission to come into my room, but now you’re coming and going.”

Anne flinched as she tried to turn on the light on the bedside table. It felt like the temperature in the room had gone down even further. It was as if winter had returned. Anne’s gaze turned to the fireplace, which had now been cleared of wood and ashes.

Wrapped in a gloomy aura, he stood by her bedside and looked down at Anne. He was breathing heavily, his face shimmering with anger.

“You underestimated me for a long time. How long are you going to hide it?”

“…”

As Anne kept silent, not understanding the blunt question, he approached Anne even more menacingly.

By the time she felt that his atmosphere was quite strange as he was insidiously quiet, he grabbed her arms.

“What is this?”

Anne’s eyes sharpened. However, the Grand Duke’s eyes were as fierce as hers.

“There is a certain degree to being shameless.”

The growl sounded creepy, like a beast scratching the ground with its claws.

“Tell me right away. Because I don’t know what you mean.”

“Were you thinking of hiding the fact that you’re having a child? How dare you think of fooling my eyes in my castle? What a shameless woman you are.”

“… !?”

Surprised by the outburst of questions, Anne shook her shoulders. The fact that she was pregnant was unknown to her entourage of handmaids, except Emily.

And the one person who diagnosed her condition.

He said it.

Even though she threatened the doctor, it didn’t work in the end. Anne bit her lip with a dismayed face. She never wanted to tell him…

As she was choosing the words to say, he yelled at her furiously.

“Tell me whose child is the one in your stomach!”

Anne’s fingertips twitched. She didn’t expect it, but this was the first time she knew that she was pregnant… She didn’t want congratulations, even if it was empty words, but to be suspected of the bloodline. It felt like her blood was running cold.

“Ha… Is that what you’re going to say after all? Are you insulting me? Whose child do you think it is, if not yours?”

“That sounds more like a question for me. Tell me what you’ve been doing.”

Her heart throbbed with the cold words that had a different meaning. She thought he understood because he didn’t ask anything on the day she was kidnapped. But as expected, he was deeply suspicious of her.

“Immediately say who it is, and beg me for forgiveness now.”

His grip on her arm grew stronger, and the pain that seemed to crush her bones crept in. Anne smiled dimly with empty eyes.

“For a moment I forgot who you were. I’ll tell you who it is.”

After shaking off the Grand Duke’s hand, Anne jumped up and violently pulled out the drawer and overturned it on the floor.

Wham! Crash!

While the loud noise of clutter hitting the floor broke the silence, she picked up the large, sharp-edged scissors.

Anne faced the Grand Duke, clutching the cold metal. Then, without hesitation, she brought the pointed end of the scissors she was holding to her stomach. The Grand Duke’s eyebrows twitched strongly at Anne’s incomprehensible behavior.
