The twins' heart dropped. They glanced at each other, horrified at what the King had said. They had known Lisa for as long as they could remember, and that was decades ago.

The twins had always thought Lisa would never settle with any woman, for he was never entertained by any of them. The twins always thought it was because Lisa was waiting for the one that could teach him compassion and love.

"Y-Your Majesty," the Doctor sputtered in sheer disbelief. He fumbled with his glasses, taking them off and wiping them with a handkerchief, wondering if he heard correctly.

"Abortions are legal in Wraith," Lisa effortlessly said. He didn't even blink. "I would know, I ensured it."

The Doctor raised his head and gawked at the King. His mind was blank. The King had been ruling Wraith for at least two generations now. It had gotten to the point where not many people were certain of the King's age. And the King rarely celebrated his birthday, so people didn't even remember.

For as long as the Doctor could remember, there hadn't been an heir in a long time. There had never been a woman caught in a scandal with the King, nor did it seem like the King allowed any pregnancy to leak out.

"I-if that is what you wish," the Royal Doctor finally stammered out. He didn't think the King could be so cruel and wish for such a thing, especially because this was such a rare opportunity.

If the human Queen were to give birth, it'd only solidify the vampire's love for her. It would be a win for both members of the royal family, so why?

"Prepare it now," Lisa heartlessly said.

"Y-yes, I-I'll have my nurses get the equipment and—"

"No!" Easton shouted, his voice slicing through the thick atmosphere. He couldn't believe the King would do such a thing. He couldn't believe his best friend would be this cruel to the Queen!

Lisa spun around, his face dark and stormy. If possible, the room became even colder, and the shadows on the walls dashed for Easton.

"W-what my brother meant to say," Weston quickly spoke up, shoving Easton behind him. "Was that abortion is far too extreme of a decision to make. If the Queen doesn't give consent—"

"The Queen simply can't consent, she is in a coma because of that thing!" Lisa growled, pointing an accusing finger towards his wife. He didn't need to be told what caused her coma.

It was already difficult for humans to mate with vampires. Giving birth was an entirely different story, and the majority of the humans had to be turned before the pregnancy. If they were turned into a vampire mid-pregnancy, there was no saying what could happen to the woman, much less the baby.

The process of turning was difficult, but even more so for Jennie who'd be converted into a Pure-Blood. The process was lengthy, and required Jennie's body to be drained of as much blood as possible before the Pure-Blood's blood was injected into her. Even so, there was no saying that her body would accept the unworldly substance. Worst case scenario, her body would give out right then and there.

"But it's not fair," Easton whispered, his voice cracking towards the end. He always had a soft spot for children, especially babies. And now that the possibility of seeing his best friend's child was so close... Easton couldn't risk it.

"Her Grace should have a say in this situation," Easton said. He rarely defied Lisa, for it was physically and emotionally impossible. No one could ever defy the King.
