Chapter 339.2

(EP-339.2) Of Hearts #8

339 – Queen of Hearts #8

Elga trembled like a deer doused in cold water. She gagged a few times, before finally wiping her lips and taking a deep breath.

“… Haa, I feel like absolute shít.”

“Have you finally woken up?”

“I don’t know, so don’t ask. My head’s a mess right now. It feels like I’ve aged several years all of a sudden. I was just eighteen—it’s confusing and depressing.”

Shff.

Elga reached out and grabbed a cigar from the table. But just as she was about to bring it to her lips, she froze.

Her eyes then widened.

“……!!!”

It was like she’d seen a ghost. Even I felt a shiver run down my spine.

Then, without hesitation, she tossed the cigar aside and began stripping off her armor.

Clank. Clatter—

As Elga shed the pieces of metal, she clutched her stomach and screamed.

“━━──!!!”

No, could you even call it a scream?

It was something far more harrowing—a grieving wail beyond words, as if her insides were being torn apart.

The sound must have reached others because the door suddenly burst open.

“My Lady! Are you all right!? What in the world—!?”

It was Rowan, the old butler of the Lioness family. He must have rushed over after hearing Elga’s scream.

With a face drenched in tears, Elga cried out.

“It’s gone… It’s gone…!”

The old butler’s face twisted in deep confusion.

Then, as if deciding that interrogating me was more important than figuring things out, he shot me a furious glare.

“You wretch! What have you done to the Young Lady!?”

“I did what I had to do. But, old man, I need you to step out for a moment.”

Snap.

I flicked my fingers lightly.

With that, I sent Rowan flying out the door. Now, it was just Elga and me left in this sealed room.

Not three—just two.

Elga. Me.

The realization seemed to be a poison to Elga. She clutched her stomach and wept bitterly.

“It’s gone…!”

“…….”

I knew why she was crying.

Just as she said, Elga was completely alone. She was no longer pregnant.

Thanks to that, she was now in a full-blown panic.

“Was it because I smoked too much—?!”

Did she think it was because of smoking?

For now, I decided to calm her down.

“That’s not the reason. Elga-nim, let’s talk to Lady Mirna first.”

* * *

Inside the underground prison of the Lioness family.

Mirna was rubbing Elga’s belly with her palm as she lay on the floor.

Whether it was the sensation of her belly being touched or something else entirely, Elga’s expression remained twisted in discomfort.

After a while, Mirna finally spoke.

“There’s nothing wrong.”

“But… the baby…”

“I already told you that you might not have a baby in this dream world. Didn’t you listen?”

Mirna scolded Elga instead. It seemed Mirna had anticipated this situation and warned her about it beforehand.

Elga must have forgotten in the chaos of her jumbled memories.

“… So it’s not really gone? It’s just missing in this dream, and everything will be back to normal when I wake up?”

“That’s right.”

“Hah, I see… It was like that.”

At Mirna’s calm response, Elga’s expression overflowed with relief, as if she had just found a ladder out of hell to heaven. I felt the same way.

Thank goodness it wasn’t really gone.

I had been holding back my reaction for Elga’s sake, worried that she might panic even more, but in truth, I had been just as shaken.

Then, as if trying to lighten the dark and tense atmosphere, Mirna chuckled.

“More than that, it feels strange to be stroking Lady Lioness’ belly like this. It’s like petting a dog.”

“G-Get your hands off me! We don’t have time for this. We need to get out of this damn place and back to reality.”

Now that she had regained her memories, Elga was more motivated than ever. Mirna, watching her, simply pouted.

“And whose fault do you think that is? Hurry up and take these cuffs off me.”

Elga snorted at that.

“The spoiled Draco Lady walked in here of her own free will and landed herself in prison. Why would I let you go? Besides, this is just a dream. Maybe I should make an announcement outside.”

“What?!”

The two of them continued to bicker. Seeing them exchange banter like this without all the tension reassured me. It seemed like things were finally settling down.

Elga then crossed both arms and shook her head.

“I still can’t believe it. How did I ever agree to something so reckless? The Angmar harem plan? Was I insane? And with someone as weak as you…”

Suk-.

Elga flicked my nose.

“Hiiiek…!”

Tears welled up in my eyes as I felt a pang of pain. Meanwhile Mirna, who had been watching, chimed in.

“It’s not about taste or perfection. You love someone despite their flaws. There’s no need for a reason.”

“That sounds right… but it’s weird hearing it from you, Mirna.”

A brief silence settled between us.

In the end, the three of us got together.

Was it time for me to lay out our next course of action?

“Alright, let’s decide what to do next. Our goal is Angmar Castle.”
