Don't Plan On Having A Child

'What? Then what if I get pregnant? Ash and I haven't talked about it yet.'

I could not say a word. I looked at Ash's face, which held no emotions at all. He was almost always like this. This face of his hardly ever changed. 

"Alright. Is there anything else?" he said. 

"No, Your Highness," she said. 

"You can leave now, both of you," he said blankly. 

"Yes, Your Highness."

They bowed and left. I kind of wished they did not leave. I could not think of facing him right now. What would I say to him? What would he even say to me? Would he yell at me again?

"Will it be a problem for you if you don't take the pregnancy-preventing potion?" he asked. 

"... It's not like that..."

"Then what is it like?"

"I... I just don't..." There was no point in being indirect about this. If he wanted to know the truth, I should tell him that. He could think about whatever he wanted.
