[Pupa: Ding! A hidden plot has been triggered! Unwanted pregnancy and erased memory!]

Yunyu was too immersed with the kiss that he didn't hear the system's notification. Pupa rolled its eyes and poured the information in Yunyu's head anyway.

Yunyu was shocked with the sudden image that penetrated his mind. He closed his eyes tightly, so he wouldn't miss any clue from the hidden plot.

The first thing that Yunyu saw was Javier standing alone in a huge party hosted in Great Arctyr a month ago. It was a night party hosted by Lyon and Layla's father, Great King Tuskan, to commemorate the success of a campaign in the far east. Great Arctyr had successfully made a deal with the kingdom from the far east to export silk in exchange for other goods from Great Arctyr.

Great Arctyr was on its road catching up with Golden Camellia and Sun Kingdom in terms of economic development, although it would take a while, but it was on the right track.

Everybody was rejoicing and enjoying the party, except Javier. He went to Great Arctyr as a representative from Golden Camellia, but really, what he wanted was to spend more time with Layla.

He was not exactly sure if he was in love with Layla, but he was willing to give it a try. Especially when he thought about marriage. His parents told him that he was already eighteen, so he should start thinking about his spouse and marriage.

Javier was really a green boy who knew next to nothing about love. But he always idolized a loving relationship like his parents. His parents were both men, but they were really a loving couple. Although, Papa Aster yelled at Papa Rama often, because he was being lazy and sometimes shameless.

Javier was in relationship with Layla for three years already, so it was right for him to be serious with her. He hoped that Layla would start loving him just as much as he wanted to do so.

Javier was holding a bouquet of roses. He didn't know if Layla liked flowers as much as he did. People in Golden Camellia always appreciated good flowers, so Javier personally picked the roses by himself.

He walked around the garden to find Layla, because the servant said that Layla went to the garden. He walked around to find Layla, he went deeper into the wide garden until he heard Layla's voice. But it was a lewd voice coming out of her mouth.

Javier walked in and saw something unbelievable from afar. Under the garden lamp, he saw everything.

"A—Ah! S—Slower… I don't want anyone to find out," Layla complained coquettishly. She was holding her voice while a man was thrusting his cock into her vagina. She was moaning and groaning each time the man thrusted deep inside.

"Darling, why don't we marry after I planted my seed in you again? You know that I love you so much," the man quickened his movement, it was his sign of dominance over Layla.

"I—I will find a way. But I don't want my brother and Javier to know about… Ah!"

"About what? About the fact that you might be pregnant with my child?" the man smiled, "Isn't that better? We love each other, and the baby will bound us together, as husband and wife. Did you get it checked?"

"Ah…. It's been a month since my last… period…" Layla bit her lips so she could lower her voice down.

The man seemed to get more vigorous in his movement when Layla told him so, he looked excited, "Have you experienced the symptom of pregnancy?"

"Y—Yeah… Ah! Slower… you are too… fast!"

"Great! I can't wait to see our baby!" The man kissed Layla and he seemed to be satisfied. He thrusted deep inside Layla and cum inside her once more. Layla held her voice to avoid drawing attention. Although they were inside a quiet garden, it didn't guarantee that nobody would notice them.

Javier saw everything and he dropped his roses. He felt a sudden surge of cold attack him from inside, and then he felt a sudden heatwave coming from inside his body. Cold and hot consecutively changed his body temperature and it made his head spin.

His sight slowly blurred and then everything was black before he fainted.

From Yunyu's perspective though, he saw Javier's golden circle dilated and thinned at a rapid, uncontrollable pace.

Yunyu saw the golden circle suddenly enlarged and his eyes turned pure golden, then in a split second, it turned pure black. It was fascinating, yet scary to look at.

Layla heard something fall on the ground near them and she hurriedly fixed her dress and rushed towards the source of the voice. There, she found Javier lying unconscious. She hurriedly called the guards outside the garden to escort Javier back.

Layla worried that Javier might have seen everything, so she told the servant that she would personally wait for Prince Javier to wake up. Javier woke up hours later, and he looked confused.

The first thing that Javier said after waking up was, "Why am I here?"

"Javier… did you witness everything?"

Javier looked at Layla and he frowned, "Witness? What do you mean?" Javier looked around and scratched his head, "Where are the roses?"

"Roses?"

"Yes, I picked you a bouquet of roses as your gift today. Did I lose it?" Javier was sure that he brought a bouquet of roses for Layla, but he suddenly woke up in this bed and the roses were gone, "I will give you a bunch of roses tomorrow, okay?"

Layla felt that something was amiss, it seemed that Javier didn't remember anything that had happened in the garden. She asked, "Javier, did you see anything in the garden before?"

"Garden? Huh? I've just arrived at the party. Well, I'm searching for you, but I can't find you anywhere," Javier said.

Layla finally realized that Javier somehow forgot about what she did in the garden. She kept asking him about the details of the last thing that he remembered, and he only said that he had just come to the party to meet Layla.

Layla was not sure if this was a trait of golden blood, but she heard from her parents that golden blood has many unique traits. Maybe this was one of the golden blood traits, since it seemed that Javier was in too much shock that he forgot about her affair with the Duke.

Truthfully, Layla was unsure whether the baby inside her was a blessing or a disaster. Although this baby was the proof of her love with her loved one, the young duke. The duke also said that he would take responsibility and was ready to be married to the princess, but she was a royal princess after all, she knew that her unwanted pregnancy would be the fall between her kingdom and Golden Camellia Empire.

But she did not have the heart to kill her own baby, she loved this baby inside her. She wanted to keep the baby no matter what. But all she could do for now was to hide it.

She wasn't ready to confess about her affair and her symptom of pregnancy either, so she let it slip and acted as if nothing had happened until now, when Aunt Mariette finally discovered about her shameful affair and unwanted pregnancy.

[What happened with Javier though? It looks like he got a short term memory loss.]

[Pupa: It is one of the traits of golden blood, in order to preserve their belief, they will try to trick themselves and erase a memory that they didn't want to see. Javier is a simpleton with a pure heart. His parents are never in a big fight and they are loyal to each other, so he also has pure expectations of a love can be.]

[I see… so witnessing such an undignified act in front of his eyes, especially when he was being cheated on, it must be a shock for him.]

Yunyu imagined how painful it would be for Javier, to realize that his expectation about love had been tainted by his own girlfriend. For an inexperienced man like Javier, it would be a huge blow to his heart.

[System, about the erased memory, will it return back to him?]

[Pupa: Yes, sooner or later, either by external or internal factor, he will eventually recover that memory.]

[… if he recovers that memory once he falls in love with Layla, then it will be a dead end.]

[Pupa: It was apparently what happened, Javier recovered that memory after he made Layla his golden circle, so he couldn't control his rage and killed everyone in the process.]

Yunyu had finally discovered the hidden plot, but he was still quite unsure about the Breakmeter fluctuation. If Javier still hadn't recovered his memory, then why did his emotion fluctuate like crazy?

***

Lyon finished his deep kiss and distanced himself from the stunned Javier, "Now, you know what kind of love I have for you."

Javier was standing like a statue, he didn't know how to react. In fact, he didn't know if his brain was still functioning or not.

Lyon saw the golden circle on Javier's eyes dilating and slowly eating the blue irises, but it stopped midway, only leaving a small part of Javier's pupils. His eyes almost turned pure golden.

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 60%.]

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 80%. This is the bonus Fatemeter for unlocking the hidden plot, congratulations host!]

[Pupa: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to 15%.]
