Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

Gale was usually in her white bunny form. But in her human form, the Wind Spirit was a beautiful and tall woman with long, pale blonde hair and bright green eyes. Gale wore a white robe with the emblem of the Wind Tribe. The Wind Spirit was barefoot, and she didn't need any shoes or slippers because her feet weren't even touching the floor.

Marina, the Water Spirit, looked like a teenager. She had curly blue hair and light blue eyes. She also wore a white robe but the "emblem" was pretty childish. Her robe was actually filled with different kinds of sea creatures drawn in a cute manner.

And finally, Olive. The Wood Spirit's human form looked like a ten-year-old child. She had bob-cut hair black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Just like the other Spirit Guardians, she wore a white robe. The emblem of her robe were brown leaves.

"We're here to help you give birth," Gale said as she helped her lie down on the bed. "But since we are in our human forms right now, the others had to sleep."

The "others" would be Roseanne (the Light Spirit), Blaze (the Fire Spirit), Rockwell (the Stone Spirit), and the Ice Spirit that didn't have a solid form.

If she was in her best condition, she could summon all her Spirit Guardians in their human forms. But she was terribly weak at the moment. Thus, the other Spirit Guardians had to sleep for her to conserve her energy while Gale, Marina, and Olive were in their human forms.

"Don't worry about our safety," Mona said weakly while taking deep breaths. "Gavin will protect us."

Gavin Quinzel was currently guarding outside the mansion.

Now that she had returned to the Roseheart Estate, it was only a matter of time before Nikolai and his men arrived.

[I have to quickly give birth to my babies before Nikolai catches me.]

***

GAVIN thought that he had already thrown his conscience away when he decided to betray His Majesty and Lady Roseheart.

He didn't expect that his heart would still break while killing the White Lion Knights that tried to break into the Roseheart Mansion. Worst, most of the knights that he killed were the same knights that he "raised" when he was still the commander of the order.

[I'm sorry.]

It was the two words that kept ringing in his mind while cutting the throats of the knights who fought him.

The knights were crying.

Ah, the poor souls must have felt the weight of his betrayal. Soon, the shock and pain of seeing their former commander kill their comrades turned into anger. Eventually, the remaining knights began to attack him more aggressively.

But of course, the result was still the same. No matter how angry the knights were, they were still no match for him.

[I'm sorry.]

He was lucky that the Paladins hadn't arrived yet. Of course, he was confident that even the Paladins would lose to him. But even if he was to face the Paladins, he would still win. He just didn't want to fight them because the Paladins were his "siblings."

"C-Commander… p-please spare m-me," begged the remaining knight alive in the yard of the Roseheart Estate that was now painted with blood. "M-My w-wife and n-newborn child is w-waiting for me!"

"I'm sorry," Gavin said coldly, then he swiftly cut the throat of the knight begging him for mercy. "My woman and my daughter are also waiting for me in the other world."

The body of the last person fell on the ground and got soaked in its own pool of blood.

He didn't even sweat even after killing the knights (around 30) that were guarding the Roseheart Mansion. But his eyes seemed to be "sweating" at the moment as his sight became blurry, and a huge lump formed in his throat.

Seeing the dead bodies of his own comrades was worse than seeing the dead bodies of his enemies. Especially since he was the one who took their lives away.

[I'm really sorry…]

His thoughts were distracted when he heard the loud cry of one of the royal twins.

[Ah, Lady Roseheart has already given birth.]

Since he was done with his job, he went inside the mansion to see if Lady Roseheart was ready to leave. He was able to kill all the knights that His Majesty stationed to the mansion. But he wasn't able to stop them from sending a message to the palace.

[His Majesty and the Paladins are probably on their way here. We have to get away from here as soon as we can. I don't have the confidence to win against His Majesty and the Paladins.]

He could try, but he refused to die there.

"Mona has given birth to a daughter, Commander."

He was shocked not because of Gale's announcement, but because of what greeted him after the Wind Spirit allowed him to enter the room.

The royal baby in her birthday suit was currently lying down on a cushion placed on the table. Gale was holding a rosegold watering can while "watering" the royal baby as if she was a plant that needed it.

"This watering can is the Roseheart heirloom passed down from generation to generation," Gale explained when she saw the confusion in his face. "The water inside this can isn't ordinary water. It's actually the tears of the first King of the Spirit World. The Rosehearts are loved by Nature, and so the rulers of the Spirit World are obliged to bless the children of the Rosehearts with their tears. It is needed to grow the rose in a Roseheart's body."

Ah, he heard about that before.

Apparently, the Rosehearts got their last name because they literally had a rose in their hearts.

"Unfortunately, this watering can will only appear in the birthing room here in the Roseheart Mansion. Thus, every female Roseheart is required to give birth in this room," the Wind Spirit continued. After "watering" the royal princess, Gale carefully wrapped the baby in a clean and soft white towel. "Commander, please take the royal princess back to the Black Ocean. It is Mona's order to do so."

He didn't dare to move his head to the other side of the room.

In the corner of his eye, he could see and hear Lady Roseheart on the bed while still in the middle of labor. Two of the Spirit Guardians were busy helping the lady give birth to her second child. He didn't know why he was allowed to enter the birthing room while Lady Roseheart was still in labor.

But maybe it was a testament to the trust that Lady Roseheart had for him.

"Will you be alright if I leave?" he asked worriedly as he carefully placed the tiny royal princess in his arms. "His Majesty is in his way…"

"Don't you trust Mona?"

He smiled and shook his head. "I trust Lady Roseheart," he said, then he turned around to face Lady Roseheart. But of course, his eyes were on the floor. He couldn't bow properly because he was afraid that the royal princess might get hurt. "I will protect the royal princess, Lady Roseheart. Please be safe."

He didn't expect to hear a response from Lady Roseheart who was screaming in pain as the Spirit Guardians encouraged her to "push."

And so, he quietly left the birthing room.

He stopped when he was outside the mansion to look at the royal princess. The royal baby was quiet after she was wrapped in the white towel. He was worried that something might happen to the royal princess for her to be this silent.

Thus, he checked on her.

[Ah…]

He was surprised to be greeted by the royal princess's big ash-gray eyes. It was cute how the royal baby looked bald. Since her skin was very pale, her thin white hair was almost unnoticeable.

[Your Royal Highness, it's a shame that you look like His Majesty's copy.]

It was because of the physical traits of every de Moonasterio: white hair, ash-gray eyes, pale skin.

But looking closely, the royal princess also looked like Lady Roseheart…

"Commander."

He raised his head and wasn't surprised to see Dion Skelton, Jeanne Audley, Geoffrey Kinsley, and the twins Wyatt and Warren Fletcher surround him. Ah, he didn't feel the presence of the Paladins until one of them talked. He raised them well.

Moreover, he was proud to see them threatening him with their bloodlust.

[I guess I'm lucky that His Majesty and Glenn aren't here yet.]

"You're under arrest, Commander," Dion Skelton, the strongest Paladin after him and Glenn, said in his usual cold voice. "Hand over the royal princess to us."

Gavin grinned at the Paladins. "I don't want to?"

***

"MASTER, you really gave birth to a prince!"

Mona hugged the baby close to her chest. Her little boy, after getting "watered" by the rosegold watering can, was now wrapped in a clean and warm white towel. She couldn't help but smile while looking at her son.

[Baby, you're the spitting image of your father.]

White hair, ash gray eyes, pale skin.

Her son inherited the physical traits of a de Moonasterio. With that, no one would doubt that her baby was indeed His Majesty's son. Thanks to her baby's appearance, everyone would know that the curse of the Rosehearts had been broken now.

She was happy and sad at the same time.

"I'm sorry, baby," Mona whispered weakly, then she closed her eyes when she felt Nikolai's presence in the mansion. "I have to leave you with your father now."
