Rebirth: The unfavored Princess is the Tyrant King's favorite-Chapter 136: The visitor

Nick watched the empty space in front of him, tongue-tied.

’What the hell just happened? One minute, his body was possessed by the soul of his past self, and the next minute, a beautiful man with a fearsome-looking dog appeared and disappeared in front of him,’ he felt as if he was hallucinating.

"Your Highness, Amirion has arrived with the imperial physician. Do we have your permission to come in?" Amirion announced.

Nick broke out of his reverie and hurriedly called in the physician.

"What took so long? Hurry and check on her," Nick said, it was now that he realized how dire her situation seemed.

Her face looked pale, and her eyes looked slightly puffy with dried-up tear stains at the side of her eyes, showing she had cried.

The imperial physician immediately began to check on the unconscious princess consort as soon as he entered the chambers.

Nick’s worry increased seeing how Luciana lay unmoving on the bed. Only the steady rise and fall of her chest as she breathed made him feel somewhat relieved.

"Your Highness," the imperial physician carefully said, drawing Nick’s attention to him.

"What is wrong with her? Why is she still unconscious? Is the baby safe?" Nicholas asked these strings of questions in a worried voice.

"The baby is in danger, Your Highness," the imperial physician said tentatively.

"What do you mean?" Nick demanded.

"It seems the princess consort suffered from a big fall, which caused the fetus to be put in danger; aside from that, it seems the princess has been under intense stress lately, causing her to become unconscious when triggered," the imperial physician said.

Nick’s brows furrowed in worry at the physician’s words. He had had a total blackout for a few minutes when the soul of his past self possessed him.

He didn’t remember how she fell but he had no idea she was under such intense stress.

Nicholas didn’t understand why she was stressed. He always made sure she was taken care of without lifting a finger.

Apart from the maids helping her to bathe, he was the one who helped her to dress, putting on the several layers of her garments himself, he was the one who wore her socks and wore her shoes on her feet for her.

In the night, before they slept, he was the one who undressed her, never letting her do anything. How was she under intense stress?

’Could it be that their night activities were putting her under stress? His mind went to the past few days, he had kept her up all night, letting her go only when she fell asleep in his arms. But if she couldn’t keep up, why didn’t she tell him?’ Nick thought.

Nick, with his dense nature, didn’t realize that Luciana’s strength could never be compared to his. His "gentleness" was still rough and drained all her energy.

Nick didn’t understand that even though there was a seal placed on him, preventing him from utilizing his full dragon abilities and marking her as his, Luciana couldn’t reject his advances because their union, even though cursed transcended physical bonds and had a strong spiritual backing.

"Can the fetus be saved?" Nicholas asked in a grim voice, his panic apparent.

"Of course your highness," the imperial physician said.

"Since the princess consort is young, and also combined with the fact that she’s unconscious, it would force her body to rest during her deep slumber. The only problem would be how to feed her medicine in her unconscious state. Care must be taken so that she doesn’t choke," the imperial physician added.

"I will do it, bring the medicine over, I’ll feed it to her myself," Nick said.

The imperial physician hurriedly nodded and asked permission to go and brew the medicine.

Left alone with Luciana, Nick made sure the blanket covered her well to prevent her from catching a cold. He took off her shoes and kept her socks on before he sat beside her on the bed, watching over her as if she would disappear if he moved his eyes away from her for even a second.

In Lady Evelyn’s chambers, something strange was happening. The soul of a beautiful woman with a sinister smile on her face was hovering over Evelyn’s sleeping form. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Evelyn struggled in her sleep, her body moving from side to side as if she was having a nightmare.

Whispers and evil laughter filled her ears and Evelyn felt like a banshee was howling into her ears.

"You wish to have what she has but you are not her match...hahaha"

"You want him for yourself but you can only watch as he pampers her but you can’t do anything about it...hahaha"

Evelyn knew she needed to open her eyes; she knew there was a presence in her room, but her eyelids felt heavy.

She could feel the tickles, the words, and the laughter but she couldn’t open her eyes.

"Who are you?" Evelyn mumbled in her sleep.

"Are you in my head? Are you messing with me?" Evelyn asked again, but this time, her eyes flew open only to stare into a pair of familiar eyes.

"Princess Consort..." Evelyn breathed but she shook her head in a daze.

"Ghost...you are a ghost; what do you want from me? How did you come here?"

Evelyn’s face was full of fear. The woman resembled the princess consort, but she looked like a spirit, she looked as if she was floating and had a spiritual presence around her.

"You’re deeply in love with the first prince but he doesn’t pay you any attention," the woman said.

"Who are you and how do you know that?" Evelyn asked, feeling uncomfortable that the strange woman knew so much about her.

"You don’t need to bother yourself with how I know or who I am. You just need to tell me how far you’re willing to go to get him."

"What do you mean?" Evelyn was skeptical.

"You fell in love with him before you knew it, but pitifully, another woman appeared, taking away your chance. You hate it, but you can do nothing about it. You’ve tried to win his love countless times but he doesn’t pay you any attention. He doesn’t care about how you feel," the woman added, causing Evelyn’s eyes to widen.

"What do you want from me?"
