Laugh It Off

"They… they think I had a child with King Dante?" Laina could not stop herself from laughing.

She clutched her stomach, she was laughing so hard it began to hurt! Tobias and Lucinda were caught completely off guard by Laina's sudden outburst. They did not know how to react. Kol, who was by Laina's side, kept a straight face. 

He could not understand how such a rumor would be possible. 

"Don't babies take nine months to be born?" He voiced his concern.

Kol's statement made Laina laugh even harder. 

"Did you hear that? Even Kol knows what's up!" Laina continued laughing hysterically, "Where are these groundless rumors coming from? I've only recently acquainted myself with King Dante. We've known one another for less than half a year.

How would this be possible?"

With the jokes aside, Laina's smile disappeared just as the general and chancellor were about to laugh alongside her.
