The Tyrant Duke Is The Father
Chapter 5 - Months Later
Doctor
Congratulations, Miss. You're pregnant.
That news shattered me and filled me with hope at the same time.
Doctor
Your husband will be happy! I can tell from its magical energy that it will be a boy!
I left the clinic smiling to myself, touching my stomach happily.
This was joyous news for me. I've always wanted to become more like my Mother, and now I'll get to experience what it is to be a single mother.
I needed up travelling to a small port city on the edge of the sea, where I bought a small house and slowly repaired it myself.
I told the townspeople of my made-up situation (that I was pregnant and my husband died), and they welcomed me with open arms.
One girl, Aggy, was especially kind to me.
Aggy Willow
You're going to be a great Mother! I've seen how you are with my little brothers.
She was my best friend, and everything went wonderfully... until I was about to give birth.
It was on a night of a full moon, an auspicious time to have a child blessed by the Moon Deity.
Aggy Willow
Come on, Rosie! You have to push!
Aggy Willow
Your baby is coming!
The midwife and Aggy by my side, I tried to push and push as much as I could.
Just as I pushing one final time, the door to my house burst open and a familiar man rushed in.
He smiled tenderly once he saw me and knelt down next to me.
Cassian Bastillos
My little Rose, I've finally found you! Now, I'll never let you go. I swear it.
His gentle voice had no malice surrounding it and the way he touched my hand so gently and kissed it, my heart began to soften.
Then, it slowed down... my head began dizzy, and then all I could hear was the sound of a blade being drawn.
Cassian Bastillos
You'd better not let her die!
Cassian Bastillos
Healer, bring a healer!
I didn't... even get to hold my baby and call him by the name I had chosen...
Rosalie Julian
Cay... den...
My beloved baby boy, who was wailing desperately for me...
I fell into darkness after that. I couldn't hear, speak, move... it was suffocating.
Was this what death feels like? Being trapped in one's body?
Dros
My, my... this is unusual.
Dros
Someone has died on my auspicious day. That is against the rules, yet here you are standing in front of me.
I opened my eyes and saw a man with white hair dressed in a robe.
Rosalie Julian
Who... who are you?
Dros
Dead when giving birth to new life... the greatest irony of life itself.
Rosalie Julian
Who are you?
Dros
What would you give me in exchange for a second chance at life?
Rosalie Julian
Can you truly do that?
Dros
Of course. I am a deity after all.
Dros
But in exchange, I need something. Something special to you.
Dros
Perhaps your baby's life?
I shouted, my voice rebounding off of the vast whiteness of the walls surrounding me.
I have nothing to give this man.
No... that's not true. I do have something.
Rosalie Julian
How about a story?
Dros
A story? Hm... you're the first one to offer me that trade.
Dros
Go on... if I enjoy your story, I'll assure that you get a second chance at life.
Rosalie Julian
Alright, but promise me one thing.
Rosalie Julian
That my baby remains healthy and happy, like when he was born.
I took a deep breath and began telling him the story of the shooting star. I told him of a tale of a cloth maker and a Prince from two different worlds, reuniting under the stars as they flew up to the portal.
But the tragedy was that they both passed the portal at the same time, falling into different worlds but still not being together in the end.
After I told the story, the boy looked at me and burst out laughing.
Dros
Yes, I like that story a lot.
Dros
Love will make you blind after all. Blind enough to do stupid things, like bargain with a deity.
Dros
But here we are, as promised... you shall resume your life when you first experienced the pleasure of being with a man.
He clicked his fingers and everything went black.
