Chapter 2.

"Tonight, we feast," Lant stood up, holding up his glass of wine.

"Although I have just gotten married once again to my 6th wife, Historia, I have news to announce. Historia is carrying my child at this time."

At the dinner table, almost everyone gasped. Almost, everyone.

Lant had a smug look on his face and turned to Historia who sat next to him, "Historia continues to carry my legacy and our bloodline. Huzzah!" He raised his glass in the air.

Everyone raised theirs as well. Confusion remarked on their faces as they looked at Historia's demeaner look.

Historia stayed silent at the dinner table, barely touching her food specifically made for her. She did not say a word when she was bombarded with questions.

Something, something was off. She didn't know what it was. Whatever it was, it made her quesy and she knew she could no longer sit at the dinner table.

She rushed away to her quarters, laying in bed after throwing up. The maids were there to attend her every need.

Historia rubbed her growing belly. In 4 months time, her child was going to be born. Her child was going to be born into the Agriche family.

Yes, something was very off. She would never cry when thinking about how her unborn child was going to be part of the Agriche bloodline.

"Wha...what is going on? Why am I crying?" She wiped her tears away.

"Alexis," she called out to one of the maids.

Alexis, a timid maid walked into Historia's room. "Yes, my lady?"

"Sit next to me and listen to what I say. Judge it for what you know for you have been here longer than I." She gestured.

Alexis nodded, taking a seat next to Historia, listening to the words thst came out of her mouth.

"I am uneasy. Something is coming and I do not like it. I am worried for my unborn child. Will they live a life of no worries? Will they be considered an outcast for having Pedilian and Agriche blood? Are they going to be used as an evil trade? Does Lant really love me? Or does he love me for my blood?" Her heart rate increased rapidly.

"Of course I love you, Historia." Lant appeared and spoke out of nowhere.

Historia's eyes widened as she saw Lant leaning by her door, arms crossed over his chest.

"I could never take advantage of someone I love. Even if they have blood of the rival clan."

"You...your only saying that to ease my heart!" She snapped.

Alexis got up and walked away, leaving the two to quarrel alone.

Historia stood up and shouted, "Do you plan to take advantage of me in the nearby future?!"

Lant shook his head, walking to her slowly. He placed a hand on her shoulder, "Historia...I love you," he said with a soft look.

Her eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Lant, Lant Agriche had a softened look?!?!

"Wh..why? Why are you doing this..?"

"I love you, Historia. I knew the moment I laid eyes on you, it's only been you," he embraced her.

Her breath quickened when she noticed the harsh grip he had on her. She nodded, "Ye...yes..."

He gave a quick kiss to her forehead before leaving her alone. Historia sighed, rubbing her eyelids.

"I need...some shut eye," she moaned in anguish.

Suddenly there was a noise by her window. Instinctively, her hand protected her stomach.

She looked around frantically, glancing at the windows to see what was going on.

Historia stays still in her spot, afraid something was going to happen if she moved. The second she moved, and arrow pierced through the window, luckily not hitting her.

She gasped in surprise, seeing the arrow hit the wall with a note attached to it.

She reached to grab the note from the arrow, reading it's contents.

"Wha...what goes on in this mansion..?" She wondered to herself.
