When Elias went outside, the whole family was waiting. The doctor had already shared the tragic news, and the relatives were sad, as expected. The doctor had left to check on Numia, so Lenard could not even interrogate the man deeply.
The lion beast man settled for pulling Elias aside and glaring at the fox lord. "She is not pregnant," he hissed. "Stop this drama right now. I am not taking the blame for a fake miscarriage."
Elias shrugged, and replied smugly, "That is not what the doctor says. Now when you return to your master, you can tell him that he doesn't have to hold his breath waiting for a fox cub to be born. We have witnesses that saw the blood, relatives who are in tears, and a doctor's report. It was a miscarriage, you cannot contradict it. I am afraid your interrogation will have to end here. In light of these circumstances, our uncle Jorik would like to withdraw his bid for the position of next Prime Envoy. Find some other family to torture."
