I honestly don’t understand it as well, Maybe some cum was left on her undergarments and made its way in?? idk tbh ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
WHAT??!!??
Apparently, outside the body, sperms can survive for 15-30 minutes and it dies as soon as it dries up. (･–･)
It was most likely a reverse deus ex machina to get the plot moving.
My guess is she was already pregnant before she was found. Everyone thought the baby was premature but probably was born on time.
So potential spoiler (not verified) If I remember correctly when I was reading the novel, Duke Ergi, the guy that was Rashtas “friend” might have messed with the paternity test. At this point in the story it was left unknown, so she might or might not have been the emperors daughter. Which leads to more of the emperors downfall cuz he lives with that regret of not knowing. Duke Ergi might have been lying just to torture the emperor more. This was like 2-3 years ago when I was reading a horrible translation of the novel with Google translate. Plus Rashta had an early birth, so the timing was off too. So I don’t think it was ever explained just left a mystery
OK, so can somebody explain to me how the baby wasn’t the emperors? When did she have time to sleep with that other guy again? I don’t understand why she would want to. She wanted nothing to do with that family. I understand that the emperors can’t have kids but like, who did she sleep with?
