[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Ugh...

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

My head… feels heavy.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Lena...?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

What hour is it?

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

Ah! My lady! 😰

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

You’ve awakened!

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

Praise the stars! It’s… morning.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Three mornings…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I’ve lost three mornings?

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

I feared the worst, my lady.

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

You fainted after the Imperial Banquet…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

The banquet… The wine… The chamber…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Oh heavens above… Tell me it was a dream… 🥺

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

…My lady?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I was with him, Lena. Prince Kael. That night…

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

W-What?! 😳

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

The Crown Prince?!

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

But he humiliated you before the entire court!

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

He called me a vile seductress…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

And yet, that night, he said I looked… “divine.” 😔

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

…My lady

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

Forgive my boldness, but…

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

Could you be… with child?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I... I do not know.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I feel sick at dawn, tired at dusk…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

And I’ve missed my cycle. 😨

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

I brought an herbal healer’s remedy. Just to be sure…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

If it’s true…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

He cannot know.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I cannot let him find out.

Immediately.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

…What do you want now, Your Highness?

[Kael | 🩸 Crown Prince of Rythmere]

You vanished after that night.

[Kael | 🩸 Crown Prince of Rythmere]

Yet your eyes still haunt me.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Spare me the royal poetry. 🙄

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

You got what you wanted. Leave me be.

[Kael | 🩸 Crown Prince of Rythmere]

Do not test me, Elira.

[Kael | 🩸 Crown Prince of Rythmere]

I know you’re hiding something.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

And if I am?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Will you call me a liar again?

[Kael | 🩸 Crown Prince of Rythmere]

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Haa...

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

My hands won’t stop trembling…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I feel… numb.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Like the air itself is judging me…

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

My lady!! 😱

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

You’re pale again!

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

Sh-should I call the healer?! 😰

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

No… ❌

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

If the palace knows, they’ll start whispering.Again. 😤

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

Whispers don’t scare you, Elira… You’re stronger than this! 💪

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Stronger...?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I don’t feel strong…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I feel trapped. 😔

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

I carry his child, Lena…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

A prince’s child… And I’m hiding like a criminal. 😢

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

But… my lady…

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

The Crown Prince... shouldn’t he know?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

He? Know?! 😡

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

The same man who called me a liar?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

A temptress??

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

He doesn’t deserve even the sound of my breath.

[Lena | 🧕Faithful Maid]

But… Elira… what if he’s changed…?

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Tch…

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

Men like him don’t change.

[Elira Valenta | 👑 Duke’s Daughter

They rule. They break. And then they forget. 😤
