"Congratulations."
"--Oh?"
In a room of the Amemiya household, Sam and his friends put the collapsed Liese on the bed and called their family doctor to examine her.
However, the doctor''s words made Sam''s brow wrinkle, and he angrily stormed over to him.
He grabbed the doctor by the chest.
"How dare you congratulate me in front of a fallen man! Huh?"
Not only Sam, but also the flower lotus behind him was silently glaring at the doctor.
Günther and the other storekeepers were not present.
It seems that Günther had originally been ordered by King Clyde to capture Kurarayan.
Kurando followed Günther to the royal palace.
Mizuki was concerned about Liese, but she was also worried about her father, so she left Liese in the care of Sam and the others and went to the palace.
"Oh, it''s a misunderstanding! I''m sorry, my words were not enough! There is nothing wrong with Lady Lieselotte! I think he was just so tense that he collapsed from the stress."
"So, how does that lead to congratulations?"
Sam''s frustration grows as the doctor refuses to clearly state his conclusions.
The doctor, realizing that he had not said enough, rushed to tell him.
"-I''m pregnant."
"--Hmm?"
Unable to understand the doctor''s words, Sam makes strange noises.
"Lieselotte-sama is pregnant. It''s not surprising that she collapsed under the stress. Have you been feeling sick lately?
Wait, wait, what do you mean?
"Liese said she was tired and sleepy. She also said she had a stomach ache and sometimes threw up.
<
"It''s an early sign of pregnancy, isn''t it? I wish you had seen a doctor then. Anyway, you are pregnant. So I say congratulations. I''m sorry I didn''t say it better."
"Oh, no, thank you?"
Sam was about to thank me when, for no apparent reason, he said, "I''m sorry,
"Uh, no."
Lise woke up.
Sam runs to the bed and calls out to Lise.
"Lise, thank God! How are you feeling?"
"Oh, I ...... think I''m right, Kotomi-sama!"
Sam holds Liese back as she tries to get up, perhaps remembering what happened before she collapsed.
"Kotomi, you are safe. She is resting in her room.
"What about Kurando-sama and Mizuki?"
"Kurando-sama went to the royal palace with Mizuki-sama after being healed by Magnolia-sama."
The same was true for Sam, who was treated by Magnolia.
Mokuren, who had heard the story from her grandson Hualian the day before, showed up and treated him as if she had been watching for the right moment, because she knew he would need her help.
It is possible that he was ordered by the king.
But thanks to that, Sam''s wounds are healed.
"To the palace?"
"The king is summoning you. Apparently, Günther was also responsible for taking Kurando-sama to the palace."
"...... Yeah. I''m sorry Sam had to fight, but I hope the punishment won''t be too severe."
"I agree. Well, according to Günther, it won''t matter. Well, they only targeted me because the Michels threatened Kotomi as a hostage in the first place.
"Yes, I know. ...... Speaking of which, is Sam okay? Your injuries are ...... gone, you''ve been treated."
Don''t worry. I''m fine now."
Anyway, I am relieved to see that Liese is as healthy as ever.
Hanae taps Sam on the shoulder.
"Sam, I have something more important to say to Lise.
"Oh, yes! Liese-sama, it''s amazing! I''m so surprised I can''t believe it... Oh, yeah, I''ll have to let the Master and Mistress know soon!"
"Oh, calm down, Sam. I don''t know what you''re talking about."
That''s the thing!
"--Lise has a baby in her belly."
"What?"
When Liese tilted her head to the side because Sam''s words didn''t make sense when he was about to report his pregnancy, Hualien simply said, "I''m pregnant, but I don''t know what to do about it.
"Hey, Hualien-sama! How come you got there before me!"
"I was annoyed that you didn''t say it properly after all this time."
"Oh, no."
"What? You''re lying?"
Liese''s eyes were black and white in disbelief, but then she found the doctor in the room and looked at him.
The doctor smiles and bows to Liese.
It''s true. Congratulations on your pregnancy."
"--Sam and I are having a baby in your belly?"
Lise asks in a trembling voice as if to confirm.
Sam smiles and answers.
"Yes! It''s me and Master Liese''s baby!"
"Yeah, but it''s been so long since I''ve had relations with Sam."
"There is no doubt that you are pregnant. It is small, but I can feel the baby''s magic in Lieselotte-sama''s belly. Perhaps it will be born with magical power.
A single tear fell from Lise''s eye.
"Lise-sama!
For a moment, Sam worried that Lise was not happy about the pregnancy.
But what she said next came as a big shock to him.
"I ...... thought I was constitutionally incapable of having children. I felt bad for Sam, but I wanted to be with him. That''s why I''ve been trying to get him to have other wives."
"...... I''m sorry you had that in mind."
On second thought, perhaps he could have recognized Lise''s insecurity.
It is no wonder that Lise, who is married to Julian and has a history of being mistreated because of her inability to have children, thinks that she is incapable of having children.
I am glad that she still wants to be with Sam.
But she probably felt guilty about it. That''s why he was not dissatisfied when Karen and Stella became his fiancées.
(I should have thought more about Lise-sama.)
However, Liese does not have to worry anymore.
Because now she has a new life in her belly.
"Liese-sama, please don''t be anxious anymore. If you are worried, don''t hide it from me.
"......Sam"
"--Thank you, Master Liese."
Tears begin to fall from Lise''s eyes as she receives Sam''s gratitude.
"Congratulations, Lise."
Hualien followed with words of congratulations with a short but clear smile on her face.
"--Oh, thank you."
Lise began to sob as her fiancé and friends congratulated her.
Liese was so sweet and Sam hugged her tenderly and lovingly.
"Let''s all be happy together, no, I''ll make you happy."
"-No, I''m already very happy."
With tears streaming down her cheeks, Liese put on her biggest smile ever.
