Sibyl’s POVI'm pregnant?Did God finally hear my prayer?Our little angel found his way home, and he or she chose Nuri and me as parents.I felt a lump in my throat. I looked at Dalena and Amy in disbelief and cried, "My baby?""Yes, your Grace." Amy hugged me. "The Rodrigues will have an heir.""But... but I don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl.""It doesn't matter." Amy looked at me, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, Sir Rodrigue will love him or her very much. Your children are all heirs to the Rodrigue family, and they all have the right of inheritance and carry on the family honor. You have to believe that even if you have a daughter, Sir Rodrigue will raise her to be a general, better than any man in the country."Amy's words made me laugh through my tears. Yes, boys and girls, they will be the apple of Nuri's eye.Dalena, however, was not as happy as Amy, as if she were worried about something troublesome."Auntie, what are you worried about? Is it because I am too weak that
Azariah’s POV"They're all out of fashion. Do you only have these clothes? Or are you just using these ugly things to brush me off?" I stood in front of a row of clothes, turned around, and glared at the fashion store owner.The fat woman wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and stammered, "I'm sorry... These are the latest fashions that the girls in our town like best... I'm sorry, I'll have the tailors make some new dresses right away... it's an honor to serve the Windsor family."I snorted. These are all small-town girls' favorites? These poor girls are really short-sighted. The capital's aristocratic girls had abandoned this style of clothing 5 years ago.I wanted to tear them apart. Since my mother sent me to this small town, my life has become extremely boring. There are no luxurious teahouses and restaurants, no beautiful clothes and cosmetics, not even afternoon tea parties and dances.Do all the girls here live like nuns?The young men here are not nearly as handsome as the me
Sibyl’s POVDalena left the room after telling me about pregnancy tips. It was just Amy and me in the room.Amy is arranging the baby's clothes in a ditty."Your grace, I've chosen a lot of colors that don't have a gender preference, like canary yellow. What do you think? Do we need to double the clothes according to the gender?"I took the baby dress and felt its soft fabric. Everything was perfect. I couldn't find anything wrong with it.Amy is always thoughtful and I never have to worry, but I'm not in the mood for baby clothes.It's been three days.Nuri has been in the barracks for three days. Whenever I ask Dalena when he will be back, she always replies, "He will be back soon."Something must have happened.Nuri has never been away from me for so long. In the past, when he needed to live in the barracks to do his work, he would ask his close footman to bring me news about his return and what he was doing.That's why I never worry about my husband staying out all night. Nuri gav
Sibyl’s POVAfter my bath, I stood in front of a bronze mirror and looked at my belly.My waist is as slim as before. I can't believe there's a baby in there. I turned sideways and looked at the curves of my body, my fingers moving carefully over my lower abdomen.My baby, mommy is playing a game with you. Can you feel it?His senses may not have developed yet. Dalena said I couldn't feel the baby move until I was four months pregnant. By then, the baby will have developed ears that can hear my voice and feel my touch.Oh, this is really amazing. My baby will grow in my belly day by day, sharing blood, heartbeat and feelings with me.I've never felt so connected to a person in my life. My child is growing in me and will come out of me. He is an independent person and a new life from my life.Maybe I should have prepared some maternity clothes in advance. Oh, God, I can't wait to meet him.Wait a minute. Why do I have to assume that the baby is a boy?I thought of Nuri and I getting a
Azariah’s POVAt the back door of Rodriguez Castle, a group of women dressed as maids bowed their heads and listened deferentially to a middle-aged maid."You were all chosen by me to serve Mrs. Rodriguez. Before we go into Rodriguez Castle, I have to give you a few points. First, focus only on your part, and don't be curious about anything else. Second, Mrs. Rodriguez is Sir Rodriguez's only wife and the woman he loves the most. You must serve her well and listen to her. If you make her angry, Sir Rodriguez will throw you out of the castle immediately. Third, as a maid, you must always remember your identity. Sir Rodriguez would not marry a maid as a concubine. Your job is to serve Mrs. Rodriguez. If you dare to tempt Sir Rodriguez, you will be sold to a brothel. Do you understand?""Yes," replied the maids.One of the maids whispered to the other, "Princess Sibyl's parents are dead. She's not a princess anymore, so why hasn't Sir Rodriguez divorced her? He's even more concerned abou
Nuri’s POV"Who ran into the fire?" Roth shouted.The servants were in a hurry to put out the fire with buckets, but the fire was getting worse and worse.I know the man who broke in. This is Jovon. We just had a fight.The fire spread out with the wind, like a demon with fangs and claws. As I stood there, I could feel the residual heat of the fire tingling over my skin.Why would he rush in to save Doyle's body? A few days ago, he slipped Doyle a note telling him to kill himself.I squinted. I didn't seem to fully understand my cousin."Hurry up!" I shouted, looking anxiously at the burning house, hoping to see Jovon come out.Although I don't like him, I don't want him to die in a fire.The wooden house crackled in the fire, the pillars that supported it shook, and the roof seemed to be falling down at any moment.No! I broke free of my soldiers, ready to run into the house again."He's coming out!" The servants cheered.I looked ahead and saw a figure carrying a child staggering ou
Sibyl’s POV"Sis, you look so beautiful today. You look like the bride in the picture.""Yeah, my sis married a hero.""Sis, look, I've learned how to ride a horse!""Sis, now that you are married, you will sleep with your husband. I can take care of myself.""Sis, I wish I could leave the palace. I want to live with you..."In the coma, I had a terrible headache. Doyle's face keeps appearing in my dreams. The time we spent together and the words he said to me were playing over and over in my head.Slowly, Doyle's face began to blur, becoming Nuri's."Sibyl, you are my wife, and you must listen to me.""You know, your father or me. Only one of us will live.""At first, I had no intention of letting anyone from the royal family live. You know, killing everyone is the best way to save me a lot of trouble. I never allow my personal feelings to interfere with my decision-making. It is my principle. But since I married you, I have broken my rules many times. I've decided to let you live, t
Dalena’s POVIt's time to tell Sibyl the truth.Her 18 years in the palace had made her a quiet, intelligent and kind person, but she was at the same time too tolerant and repressed. Whenever she met something bad, she always cried alone in the corner, hiding all her sadness in her heart and not showing it in front of others. Even though her character became more lively after she married Nuri, she was still a little woman.She's going to be Chief Witch, and she's going to run all the witches. I want to teach her how to be a witch queen, not a wife hiding behind her husband.Nuri had killed the king. He will be the new king soon. No one has more power in this country now than he does. I can see his love and possessiveness for Sibyl. I'm afraid he won't let Sibyl go when he finds out the truth.I have to get Sibyl out of here before she becomes Queen. I'm going to take her back to the Witch's house, erase her memory, find a way to get rid of the Love-forgetting Potion in her, and protec
