Chapter 126
126. The Gay Little Prince, Part 15
Gary had never shown his beast form in front of others, yet no one had ever suspected that he was not a beastman. This was because he did not have the beast-like characteristics such as beast ears that sub-beastmen would have, and also because he was very powerful and ate a lot in spite of his slight build, which was a little undersized among beastmen.
Someone once joked that Gary looked like a sub-beastman, but he no longer dared to say anything else after being beaten up by Gary.
Ludwig still remembered the way he was carried around by Gary when he was a child. Because of these memories, for a time, he even wondered why he would like Gary . . . .
Normally, he would only have respect but not love for the strong. But as it happened, he fell in love with Gary and even wanted to protect him . . . .
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ludwig's mind, yet the expression on his face remained dull. At this moment, besides this expression, he did not make any other expression.
"I'm pregnant. What do you think of it?" Gary turned his gaze towards Ludwig, frowning slightly.
"Ga Ga Ga . . . Gary. You you you . . . you’re a beastman." Ludwig stared at Gary stupidly.
"It should be." Gary said.
"I . . . I . . ." Ludwig stood in place and suddenly gasped out a sentence, "I originally planned a honeymoon trip. We can’t go now, can we?"
Gary picked up a pillow on the sofa and threw it at Ludwig's head—was there any person who was still thinking about traveling at this time?
Ludwig was hit by a pillow and fell straight down. When Gary saw this, he was very worried and promptly ran over to check. Then he saw Ludwig goggling at the ceiling stupidly.
This guy had not recovered yet!
Gary watched him speechlessly for a while and finally said, "I'm hungry."
"I'll cook!" Ludwig immediately jumped up.
After eating, Gary went to sleep early. Ludwig struggled for a long time and finally called Edgar, "Father, Gary said he might be pregnant."
". . ." The more Edgar looked at Ludwig on the other end of the communication device, the more he felt that this man was not pleasing to the eye . . . . He always thought that Gary could have the upper hand and did not expect him to get pregnant so quickly . . . .
"Father, what should I do now?" Ludwig asked again .
"Take good care of Gary." Edgar said. "Shu Shu and I will come over tomorrow."
Edgar was going to hang up the call after he was done talking, but Ludwig said again, "Father, wait."
"What else?" Edgar asked, frowning.
"Gary . . . he’s a sub-beastman? How can he be a sub-beastman?" Ludwig had difficulty believing this.
"Gary’s like his mother." Edgar hung up the call directly.
When Ludwig heard Edgar mention Shu Shu, he suddenly remembered one thing. It was said that Shu Shu fought very fiercely . . . .
No wonder Gary never showed his beast form!
No wonder Gary did not give him the beast bead!
It turned out that Gary was a sub-beastman!
After figuring it out, the more Ludwig thought about it, the more excited he was. And he finally understood why Gary got so angry when he was going to destroy the beast bead back then . . . .
He seemed to have done something stupid.
Ludwig felt that he was too stupid before. It was obvious that there were so many questionable things about Gary, yet he actually never doubted it at all . . . . If nothing else, if Gary was really a beastman, how could he still be healthy and active on the next day after lingering with him for a whole night? Generally, if something happened between two beastmen, the receiving side would be quite miserable the next day.
After finishing the phone call with Edgar, Ludwig thought for a while and then called his own father.
"What's the matter, Ludwig?" Calvin asked.
"Father, Gary’s pregnant." Ludwig said.
Calvin on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. Then his voice suddenly became much louder and clearer, "What did you say?"
"Father, Gary’s pregnant." Ludwig repeated it again, his heart sweet and happy.
"How the hell could that be?" Calvin's voice rang again.
"Gary’s actually a sub-beastman."
Calvin was silent for a very long time this time. After a very long time, he abruptly said, "You can't even defeat a sub-beastman; you’re really capable!"
Ludwig was also silent for a moment. "Father, I can beat you."
Calvin, who had not been able to beat his son when coming to blows with him: ". . ."
Calvin and Myer had been staying in the capital star recently. After receiving a call from Ludwig, they did not sleep all night. Early the next morning, they came to Ludwig's residence and then saw Ludwig who also hadn't slept for a whole night yet looked very excited.
"Gary’s pregnant? Have you seen a doctor? Have Gary had a checkup?" Myer asked. It was very difficult for him when he was pregnant with Ludwig. His body was very, very uncomfortable for the first two months. Later, he got better and was able to work, but unexpectedly, he then had an accident and gave birth prematurely . . . . For all these reasons, after he knew that Gary was pregnant, he could not help thinking of Gary as a fragile thing.
Ludwig simply didn’t remember to call for a doctor, and he did not even think of having a checkup, so he was immediately stupid.
"How do you take care of your sub-beastman? Why’re you as careless as your father?" Myer was angry. Back then, Calvin stayed in the military all day long and neglected him, which made him very angry.
Calvin tried hard to reduce his sense of existence, but Ludwig was full of humility. "Mother, how do I take care of Gary?"
Myer was just about to impart his experience to Ludwig when the doorbell rang. It was Edgar and Shu Shu who came this time.
Edgar's face did not look so good; Shu Shu, on the contrary, was very happy. As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Where’s Gary? Where’s he?"
"Gary’s still sleeping." Ludwig said.
Shu Shu was at once going to find Gary, but Edgar stopped him. "Let Gary come down." Gary was married, so it was not good for them to go up . . . . If they saw something that should not be seen, wouldn’t they get a sty?
Shu Shu nodded and immediately sent a message to Gary to let him come down. Then he said to Edgar, "I’m finally going to be a grandfather!" Other hamsters could be grandfathers at two or three months old, but he had to wait for so many years. He felt sad just thinking about it.
Edgar snorted as an answer and then glared at Ludwig.
It was not until this moment that he deeply felt that his cute and soft little hamster had been gnawed by others. Really, the more he thought about it, the worse he felt . . . . If he had known earlier about this, he would certainly have made things more difficult for Ludwig.
"Edgar, Gary . . . he’s a sub-beastman?" Calvin asked.
"Yeah." Edgar answered.
"How come? He doesn't have the characteristics of a sub-beastman . . ." Calvin was somewhat dull.
"Because Gary’s a very powerful sub-beastman, ah! He’s more powerful than many beastmen, so he’d be like this!" Shu Shu said. Edgar and Ian praised him like this!
Gary came downstairs and happened to hear his mother praising himself. He could not help but smile.
"Gary, are you awake? Are there any discomforts? Would you like to call a doctor to examine you? Do you want to eat something?" Ludwig had reflected for a long time just now and thought of some things that a pregnant sub-beastman needed to pay attention to as well as decisions that needed to be made, so he asked them all at once.
"I'm fine." Gary replied. He was very healthy, and his body had no reaction at all.
"I’ll give you a checkup, Gary! Don't worry, there’s me to keep you strong and healthy from start to finish." Shu Shu said. He had been in contact with many pregnant sub-beastmen. Once, he had even been paid a lot of money for helping a sub-beastman whom repeatedly had miscarriage to keep the fetus. So now he was very confident that he could make Gary give birth to the child safely.
Gary could not be clearer about his mother's affairs. He understood what spiritual power was and also had the same ability as his mother to help people treat their illnesses. However, he had never been in contact with pregnant sub-beastmen and only had a smattering of knowledge about the condition of pregnant sub-beastmen. So it was not bad to let his mother examine him . . . .
Gary extended his hand towards Shu Shu and let Shu Shu examine him using spiritual power.
Shu Shu’s spiritual power quickly entered Gary’s body, and Gary did not reject it at all, allowing this spiritual power to come to his belly. There, the originally tiny womb had become a little bigger, and there was a new life inside.
Gary actually didn't thoroughly grasp his own condition, so he watched Shu Shu curiously and waited for Shu Shu to finish his examination. It was at this moment that he saw his mother's face suddenly change.
Shu Shu's face changed, and everyone else also noticed this scene. They could not help but have their hearts in their mouths. Why did Shu Shu's face change? Could it be that Gary's condition was not too good?
"What's the matter?" Edgar immediately asked when he saw his partner's face look strange.
"Edgar, there’s something wrong with the child in Gary’s belly!" Shu Shu said.
"What?" Edgar was alarmed. There was something wrong with the child? What should they do then?
Ludwig, Calvin, and Myer all clenched their fists. They just got a nice surprise, but in a moment, the nice suprise became a fright, ah!
"He seems to have three children in his belly." Shu Shu said again.
Three?! Everyone present was shocked. What's going on? How could there be three children in Gary's belly?
"Three children? What will happen to Gary?" Ludwig looked very anxious. Beastmen and sub-beastmen of the Beastman Empire generally only gave birth to one child at a time. Two fetuses were very rare, and three fetuses . . . . Although there had been a case or two in history, the final outcome was not very good.
Basically, there had not been any sub-beastman who could bear the huge burden brought by being pregnant with three children at a time. The three children fighting for nutrients in the sub-beastman's body would also make one or two of them have physical defects.
"Nothing will happen to Gary, ah. Isn't it just three children?" Shu Shu said. Three children did need a lot of spiritual power, but they had dug up a lot of spirit stones on Fallen Beast Planet, ah! Gary totally didn't have to worry. "But it won’t be easy to raise three children at a time, ah . . ."
"Gary’ll be fine, but you must take good care of Gary later." Edgar glared at Ludwig again.
Ludwig was already stupid and nodded in a dazed manner. Even if it was only Gary alone, he would also take good care of Gary, not to mention that Gary now had three children in his belly.
Calvin and Myer were also stunned. After Ludwig and Gary got married, they gave up their thoughts of holding grandchildren. They did not expect to actually be told that they could have three grandchildren at a time. This, this . . . .
They were all frightened, and Gary, the culprit, also felt that it was very strange for him to actually be pregnant with three at a time . . . . Three, ah! The children he wanted to have in this lifetime were born in one go?
The news of Gary's pregnancy was undoubtedly a big bomb dropped on Ludwig.
It was not until a month later when Gary, with the support of spirit stones, had his belly protrude slightly that Ludwig finally recovered and clearly realized that he was going to be a father.
Gary was very helpless about this. Although Ludwig had been in a daze during this period, he had been taking care of him as a fragile thing, and Gary could not stand it . . . .
His situation was very similar to his mother’s. The children grew very fast, and the speed was only a little slower than that of his mother. However, given that he was pregnant with three at a time, although the speed was a bit slower, his belly got bigger faster than his mother’s.
As a result, Gary was unable to participate in many activities, and Ludwig also began to stay at home and rarely went out in order to take care of him. Since being together all the time, their relationship became better and better. Unexpectedly, they soon entered the old husband and wife mode, which Gary liked.
In a blink of an eye, another month passed.
People on the star network suddenly discovered that they had not seen any news of Gary and Ludwig, the newlyweds, for a long, long time.
The two people were said to still stay in the capital star, but they did not go out all the time like before, and Ludwig no longer ran around the entire planet to buy food for Gary either . . . . However, he would order takeaways and also found someone just to run around to help him do his shoppings.
Generally, it was normal for the rich to do this, but the point was that Ludwig used to run around in person!
"Ludwig has stopped buying things for Gary recently. Is there a problem between them?"
"I also find it strange that they didn't attend several events. What the hell is going on?"
"When Ludwig went to participate in an event of the Mund family’s company, he didn’t bring his partner Gary. He came in a hurry and was in a bad mood. He’s probably quarreling with Gary, right?
"That Gary isn’t a good person at all. Ludwig must have seen his true colors! "
. . . . . .
There were inevitably a lot of speculation appearing online. Some people who had been tirelessly vilifying Gary even vowed to publish various news discrediting Gary on the Internet and tried to make people believe that Gary and Ludwig were definitely not happy.
Horace was one of the people who vilified Gary on the Internet. If Gary could see him, he would find that Horace was actually one of the people on the spaceship who was bitten by the marching ants. He was that sub-beastman whom had a good relationship with Emir and had once been outraged over the injustice done to Emir.
That’s right, Horace was Emir’s friend.
Emir and Green were a couple, but they were hindered by Gary. Later, Gary caused trouble to Emir and made him have to be banished . . . .
Horace, who was not willing to stay in the military after encountering the marching ants, hated Gary very much and often said malicious words about Gary on the Internet. In his opinion, if Gary had not hidden his identity, how could there have been so many things afterwards?
Now, seeing Gary and Ludwig’s marriage seemed to have encountered a problem, he felt very happy. Ludwig was so powerful and handsome; why did he like an ordinary beastman like Gary?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Horace's mind, and at the same time, various comments bad-mouthing Gary and Ludwig’s marriage were published online.
Ludwig seldom went to the star network and had never known about various comments on the star network. But recently, as long as he was free, he soaked himself in the star network every day to learn about taking care of a pregnant sub-beastman and children. He even signed up for several virtual tutoring classes on the star network and used the virtual cabin to attend classes anonymously every day.
When he went to a tutoring class that taught everyone how to take care of a newborn child, he heard two classmates discussing himself and Gary.
“Do you think Gary and Ludwig really have a problem?"
"I think it’s true. Ludwig married Gary fervently back then, and he should regret it now."
"No way . . . . I think Ludwig loves Gary very much, ah."
"How about love? The average beastman can't stand being suppressed by another beastman. Sooner or later they will have problems."
. . . . . .
What's the matter with these people? To actually curse his and Gary's marriage to have a problem? Ludwig felt very angry. "Don't talk nonsense; their relationship is good!"
The two glanced at Ludwig, sneering. They were actually just gossiping, but they were suddenly reprimanded, so they were unhappy. "If their relationship is good, why didn't Gary show up when Ludwig went to participate in the company's event?"
"Maybe Gary was feeling unwell." Gary was pregnant with their children; how could he let Gary follow him everywhere? At that time, he himself kept thinking about Gary and had no mood to participate in the event.
"Feeling unwell? I don’t think so. I think they have a relationship problem." The two were very firm.
"They don’t!" Ludwig said again.
The two people frowned and turned towards Ludwig, "How do you know?"
"Because I’m Ludwig." Ludwig suddenly said and removed his anonymity directly, going into battle with his real identity. "The relationship between me and Gary is great. Don't talk nonsense!"
Finished speaking, Ludwig turned around and left and stopped going to class. Then he found someone to go online to delete those comments that speculated that his relationship with Gary was bad.
He and Gary were very happy. Why did others speculate about them casually?
Ludwig did such a thing entirely because he did not want to hear others say that he and Gary were not good. However, him doing so was undeniably counterproductive.
After a lot of comments on the Internet were deleted, netizens felt that this was an attempt to cover up, which actually only made the matter more conspicuous. At the same time, the news of Ludwig appearing in a parenting training class was also exposed.
Ludwig and Gary were both beastmen, and they were doomed to have no children. Under these circumstances, Ludwig still went to join a parenting training class. What did it mean?
Whose child did Ludwig intend to learn to take care of?
"They didn't exchange beast beads at the wedding. Should it be Gary or Ludwig who secretly looked for a sub-beastman to give birth to a child?"
"Why can the rich ignore the laws and regulations and stray?"
"Fuck, if they’re really like this, then I despise the hell of them!"
"These two people are so disgusting!"
"It’s too much for you to speculate like this, okay? Can't Ludwig learn to take care of his younger brother? The Duke of Mund and Duke Myer are still young, ah."
"Previous poster, you’re too sweet. Even if Myer has a child, it’s the Duke of Mund who will go to learn. Moreover, Myer has been very active these days, participating in activities everywhere. If you see him, you’ll know that it’s impossible for him to be pregnant!"
"Speaking of Myer, have you noticed? Myer has been in a good mood recently . . . . Ludwig going to a parenting class totally can’t be to take care of Gary's child. So, Ludwig has a child?"
. . . . . .
The star network became lively all at once.
Ludwig: ". . ." How could this happen!
Gary was eating the nutritious meal that Ludwig had specially learned to make not long ago and couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the news on the Internet.
This guy Ludwig originally wanted to destroy the beast bead, so how could he go and have a child with others without telling him now?
Thinking of this, Gary suddenly stood up and called Ludwig, "Ludwig, come here."
"What's the matter, Gary?" Ludwig immediately ran to Gary’s side.
"Come and take a couple photo." Gary said. He stuck his belly out as he spoke.
With a "click", a photo of Ludwig and Gary together was taken. In the photo, Ludwig was wearing a house dress, and Gary’s belly was no longer able to be concealed with his clothes. Anyway, he did not intend to conceal it either.
Looking at the photo, Gary did not find anything that should not be shot, so he uploaded it directly to his social account with a caption, "Pregnant."
