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.
Aww they had twins 😭
Is he... The brother?? I hope not ......
Will he ever understand that George is her brother? Where is the next part?
I love this story. I hope a new installment is coming soon.
