The little baby with King's blood and a traitor's heart was destined to be forgotten. She was born at night in a shaft near the palace, under the beaming auroras of the starry sky. She came out as any other baby, blissful with tears and loud screams.

"shh," The brown eyed mother coaxed as she rocked the baby gently within her arms.

The midwife gently took the baby from the mother examining her. The baby had dark brown eyes with skin a deep shade of brown, slightly lighter than her eyes. The baby already had a small tussle of dark hair atop her head.

"It's a girl, Lady Mira. And she looks just like him" The midwife hands the child back to Mira. She took another closer look at the baby, who she realized, strongly resembled the King.

"We have to get out of the palace then-"

"It's no use Lady Mira. She grows up and then what? People will notice and then talk-"

"Oh screw talk! If they find out, this little girl won't even have a chance." Mira retorted

The baby started crying even louder.

"Shhh little one it'll be alright." Mira hummed, and as if the baby girl could understand, her crying waned.

"I think you underestimate the King's kindness. Survey once he has confirmation that the child is his, you and she will be under. You know he cares for you, Mira."

"And Ash? Everybody will know it's not Ash's ba-"

"Stop your worrying Lady, it'll do nothing but stress out you and the baby. Ash is barely present in the castle anyway and probably has more bastards than you can count. Everything will work out how it is supposed to Lady Mira."

Mira bit her lip and sighed. There really was little she could do. She had to trust in the prophecy of the universe.
