Pregnant With The Wolf's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 4
“Crown Princess Consort? You’re entering the selection…?”
“It’s merely a formality—the Emperor has already chosen you as the designated candidate.”
There was a reason I’d been summoned to this meal, an invitation I wouldn’t normally have received.
“You’re scheduled to hold the imperial wedding next year, so conduct yourself properly and ensure everything proceeds without incident. Be mindful of your behavior.”
They had called me here to inform me I was to participate in the Crown Princess Consort selection.
In the original story, Larien, infatuated with the Crown Prince, had been the one to request the engagement first.
‘Since I didn’t say I wanted to become engaged to the Crown Prince, they’re telling me to enter the selection instead.’
Even disregarding the baby’s existence, Erna, the female lead, was already the Crown Prince’s consort.
Knowing how tragically it all ended, I had no desire to get involved between them.
“…I heard His Highness the Crown Prince already has a consort.”
I mentioned Erna’s existence to subtly convey that I didn’t wish to join the selection.
“If you become Crown Princess Consort, she’ll be expelled immediately. There’s no need to worry about a mere consort who hasn’t even been granted the rank of concubine.”
Duke Bellaste’s indifferent response made it impossible to see him as a father.
‘Of course it is.’
He had never truly been a father to begin with, so feeling newly disappointed was an unnecessary emotion.
“Father, spring is almost here. Could you perhaps postpone the selection a little…?”
“Uriel. This isn’t your concern.”
Duke Bellaste cut Uriel off with a stern expression. His absolute intolerance of dissent drew a scoff from me.
‘There’s one thing you’re mistaken about.’
On the very day Larien became Crown Princess Consort, the Crown Prince informed her that Erna was pregnant.
Because Erna carried an Imperial Grandson, she wasn’t expelled.
‘Even if Jade doesn’t kill me this time, Erna will fear I’ll steal her male lead away.’
The Crown Prince always pitied Erna. He shielded her from every hardship, ensuring Larien could never torment her.
‘Just as he did with Larien, he’ll treat me coldly.’
No matter how much I tried to avoid receiving the Crown Prince’s affection, I was destined to be the villainess who’d eventually be forced to exit.
It was useless to voice my refusal to the adamant Duke Bellaste.
To protect my baby and avoid becoming Crown Princess Consort—
My only option was to run away from here.
“Your Grace, may I stay in the annex until the day of the selection?”
Staying in the annex, untouched by servants, would make escape easy. The annex’s back gate was the very passage I’d used for my secret outings.
“The annex?”
“I’d like to prepare quietly on my own to become Crown Princess Consort.”
“Do as you please.”
Duke Bellaste granted his permission.
‘Where should I go?’
I pondered which country to flee to and settle in.
One place immediately came to mind.
Trianon.
Ever since I first realized I’d been reincarnated, I’d kept an eye on this small, peaceful duchy as a contingency.
I had enough jewels saved up to sell for ample funds, so there was no reason to hesitate.
“Larien, are you really sure? Even now, you can still tell them you can’t do it.”
“Duchess, this is for the sake of Bellaste, isn’t it? I’ll be fine.”
At my words, Duke Bellaste downed his wine in one gulp.
He looked proud—as if all his efforts in raising me had finally paid off.
“Larien…”
Hearing my refusal, Duchess Bellaste bit her lip anxiously.
‘She probably dislikes the idea of having to address me formally once I become Crown Princess Consort.’
It was almost amusing to watch her struggle helplessly, unable to openly object.
“Your Grace, I need to move my belongings to the annex—may I take my leave now?”
“Go ahead.”
Duke Bellaste seemed pleased that everything was proceeding according to his will.
‘Has the Duke ever been this lenient before?’
“Larien!”
Duchess Bellaste called out to me.
“I had them prepare your favorite strawberry cake for dessert today… won’t you stay and finish it?”
“…I’m not feeling well. I’m sorry.”
Eating cake risked triggering morning sickness again, just like earlier.
Even now, the scent of food in the dining room was making my stomach churn.
“A-alright. Go on up, then.”
I exhaled the breath I’d been holding as I stepped out of the dining room.
‘Now I feel like I might actually survive.’
I told Mary we’d go to Trianon. She packed our bags all night, saying she’d follow me anywhere.
I imagined the life the three of us—my baby, Mary, and I—would build together.
‘The personal physician said he’d return in a week.’
I had one week left—a week to say goodbye to people I’d never see again.
…Including Jade.
Forever.
After a week passed, I’d never see him again.
‘If only I’d known, I’d have been kinder to Jade.’
Ever since deciding to leave, his image haunted my thoughts, keeping me awake at night.
[This is the timeline separator]Early that morning, Mary and I moved to the annex.
The long-unoccupied annex was thick with dust in spots.
It was plainly evident no one had set foot there in ages.
Feeling guilty watching Mary diligently wipe surfaces, I picked up a broom.
“Miss! No, you mustn’t!”
Mary snatched the broom away instantly and ushered me outside, shooing me off.
Near the annex stood a greenhouse where I’d often walked alone to calm myself whenever upset.
Since I wouldn’t be returning after my escape, I took a rare stroll through the greenhouse to bid it farewell.
Even in the cold winter, the greenhouse was kept warm, blooming with a variety of flowers.
The lilacs, where a white butterfly rested, exuded an especially fresh, fragrant scent.
My muddled thoughts felt suddenly clear.
“Lady Larien!”
Hearing the butler call me from outside, I stepped out of the greenhouse.
“His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived.”
“He’s here… right now?”
“Yes. We’ve seated him in the main residence’s reception room for now.”
I was taken aback by his rudeness—arriving unannounced.
Yet, since he was the Crown Prince, turning him away was awkward.
I slowly made my way to the reception room in the main residence and bowed politely.
“I offer my greetings to His Highness Crown Prince Oscar, the little sun of Langranxia.”
“You’re late, Princess.”
The Crown Prince, Oscar, set down his teacup and gave a faint smile upon seeing me.
“My apologies. I wasn’t aware Your Highness would visit, so my preparations were delayed.”
When I pointed out his sudden arrival, Oscar cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Ahem. More importantly, Princess, you’ve surely heard from the Duke about the upcoming Crown Princess Consort selection.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Aware that his own lateness was his fault, he didn’t press the matter further.
“I have no desire to grow closer than necessary, even if we become husband and wife. It would be best if you abandoned any feelings for me as well.”
“…”
Seeing Oscar so utterly mistaken left me speechless.
‘I haven’t even acted like the original Larien, yet he’s not even smiling.’
Had I ever told him I loved him?
“I already have a woman I love. That said, I won’t disregard your dignity as a princess. If you need a partner, I’m willing to escort you.”
The sad part was that Larien, in a similar situation, had been overjoyed to hear these very words.
‘He’d asked Larien to be his partner for the New Year’s Gala.’
Yet Oscar had shown up at the gala with Erna.
Lonely and sharp-tongued, with no friends to speak of, Larien stood isolated at the party.
‘I’d overheard whispers calling her “wallflower.”’
Naive Larien believed that once she became Crown Princess Consort, she’d win his heart.
She never realized she was destined to die as a villainess for Erna’s happiness.
“Your Highness, I apologize, but there’s no need for you to offer me that partnership.”
“You’re refusing me?”
Oscar replied with a look of utter disbelief.
“Are you saying it’s fine if I enter with another woman?”
“Might that ‘other woman’ be Your Highness’s consort?”
“…Princess.”
I deliberately mentioned Erna and smiled sweetly, ensuring Oscar couldn’t lash out in anger.
“I don’t mind that Your Highness has a consort. In fact, I also wished to maintain a proper distance from you—this works out well.”
“…What?”
“Your Highness, please remember that Langranxia’s succession must be carried on by legitimate heirs.”
Once I escaped, another candidate from the selection would become Crown Princess Consort.
Whoever it was, I couldn’t let them suffer like Larien had.
“Even if Your Highness’s consort bears an Imperial Grandson, that child could never become heir.”
Oscar had never granted Erna the official concubine title of Bin.
Because Erna was a commoner, even after Oscar became Emperor, the council’s opposition restricted her to the title of Imperial Consort.
“Princess, don’t even think of laying a finger on Erna. I won’t let you off lightly either.”
Threatening me as if to warn me—Oscar truly was a fool. It was he who placed Erna in danger.
“Your Highness, if you truly wished to protect your consort, you should have tried persuading me—not threatening me.”
“You dare lecture me, the Crown Prince of Langranxia! Such insolence!”
Oscar’s face flushed crimson from his neck upward, and he hurled the teacup before him to the floor.
As the sharp sound of shattering porcelain echoed, someone entered the room.
‘…Since when had Duke Bellaste been standing outside?’
It was Duke Bellaste.
“Your Highness, are you injured anywhere?”
He checked on Oscar and ordered the butler who’d followed him to clean up the shards.
“Your Highness, you seem displeased. May I ask what occurred?”
“It’d be quicker to ask the Princess herself.”
Frowning, Oscar strode out of the study.
“…Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
After a brief glance at me, Duke Bellaste hurried after Oscar.
‘He’ll circle back later, but that’s still better than running into him now.’
As I left the reception room, I ran into Duchess Bellaste.
“Larien.”
“…Duchess.”
“I couldn’t find you in the annex, so you were here.”
“Do you… have something to say to me?”
“Larien. Take this.”
Hesitating slightly, Duchess Bellaste handed me a key.
“…What is this?”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”

Larien’s mother’s diary was sad. all mothers would choose the baby, but fathers would blame the baby (个_个)
Larien, hang in there a little longer. you will live very happily with your baby.
Larien’s father is stupid. Larien didn’t choose to be born.
