Those few months. Did you give birth to a child already?

...

She is not a fish, it takes much longer than just "few months" to get a child into the world 😮‍💨

No wonder the whole family is filled with brainless people for someone not to know such basics even though he got 3 kids of his own..

That noble sold the kid a fairytale.

What we heard and saw:

- his mother was a *very young girl*

- king is quite old so must been middle aged man at the time

- he spend one day in some village while traveling and then it happens


So, he either r*ped a cute barely teen girl or village sent her to him as a bedwarmer.

And the only possibility for her to be brought to palace later on would be likely as maid/mistress. If that ever was a plan in the first place. It could be just a lie to make her more obidient.

That noble likely was tasked with cleaning after king's mess and while at it chanced upon the info of a båstard being sired. That's why he took to the search.
