I was pregnant with the Commander's baby

The morning sun gently shined through the tall palace windows, painting golden light across my room.

I slowly opened my eyes.

For a moment, I forgot where I was.

A princess’s bedroom. Silk curtains. Royal furniture. Crystal lamps.

Yes…

I was Princess Leanna.

But inside this body, I was someone who had lived another life before.

And now…

I placed my trembling hand on my stomach.

It was still small. No one could tell yet.

But I knew.

A soft breath escaped my lips.

“I’m… pregnant…”Tears filled my eyes.

Not from fear.

Not from regret.

But from love.

Because this child…

Was his.

The child of Commander Lucien.Lucien was the strongest knight in the kingdom.

Cold. Serious. Loyal to the crown.

And my personal bodyguard.

He was never supposed to fall in love with me.

And I was never supposed to fall for him.

But fate had other plans.

Late nights. Quiet talks. Secret smiles.

When I was sad, he stayed.

When I was scared, he protected me.

When I cried, he held me.

Until one night…

We crossed the line.

And gave our hearts to each other.I slowly stood up and walked to the mirror.

My reflection stared back.

Golden hair. Gentle eyes.

A princess who looked perfect.

But inside…

I was hiding the biggest secret in the kingdom.

“If anyone finds out…” I whispered.

A princess carrying a knight’s child.

It was forbidden.

Scandalous.My home.

Even my life.

And Lucien…

He could be executed.

My heart tightened.

“I can’t let that happen

Dangerous.A knock echoed on the door.

“Your Highness,” a deep voice said.

“It’s Lucien.”

My breath stopped.

Him.

I quickly wiped my tears.

“Come in.”

The door opened.

Lucien stepped inside in his black-and-silver uniform.

Tall. Handsome. Serious.

But his eyes…

They softened when he saw me.

“Did you sleep well?” he asked quietly.

I nodded.“Yes…”

He walked closer.

Too close.

My heart raced.

“Leanna,” he whispered. “You’ve been distant lately. Are you sick?”

I looked away.

“I’m fine.”

A lie.

He gently took my hand.

“Don’t lie to me.”

His touch was warm.

Protective.

And suddenly…

I couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Lucien…” I whispered.

“Yes?”

“I…”

My voice shook.

“I’m pregnant.”

Silence.

His eyes widened.

Time stopped.

“W-What…?” he whispered.

“It’s yours.”Lucien froze.

Then slowly…

He dropped to one knee in front of me.

“Leanna,” he said firmly.

“Look at me.”

I did.

His eyes were shining.

Not with fear.

Not with anger.

But with love.

“I will protect you.”

“I will protect our child.”

“Even if I have to fight the whole world.”

Tears streamed down my face.

“You won’t leave me?”

“Never.”

He placed his hand over my stomach“Our baby… will be born safely.”

I smiled through my tears.

For the first time…

I wasn’t afraid anymore.But little did we know…

Dark eyes were watching.

Secrets were spreading.

And danger was coming.

Would our love survive?

Would our baby be safe?
