-Third Person POV-

"Welcome, Lady Angelica." Viscount Lotteshu said opening the door and letting Angelica and Cecilia walk inside "Thank you, Viscount Lotteshu." Angelica said and stepped inside as a few maids bowed to her and returned to their chores "Is the child here?" Angelica asked as Cecilia led her over to a chair as a maid walked over with a tray of tea and desert setting it down on the table Viscount Lotteshu walked over and sat down on a couch next to Angelica's chair and turned to the maid "Call my son Alan to come here with the child." He said making the maid nod with a bow and leaving them to talk "So, Lady Angelica why do you want to meet the child?" Viscount Lotteshu asked. 

"I wanted to see what Rashta saw so worried about." Angelica said taking a sip of tea and placing it back down on the table the sounds of steps going to them were heard "Lord Alan is here, Viscount." The maid said Alan was next to her and the baby was wrapped in a blanket in his arms "Father, Lady Angelica?" Alan said confused as he walked over as Ian was babbling his little arms unstretched out of the blanket making Angelica's gaze soften at the sight of the little child 'What was Rashta so afraid about? This child looks like a darling.' Angelica thought having a soft smile on her face as Alan sat down across from his father "Lady Angelica is here to visit Ian on behalf of Rashta." Viscount Lotteshu said as Angelica nodded 'It would be better to say that I am here on behalf of Rashta instead of saying the real reason.' Angelica thought.

"Oh! I didn't know you and Rashta were close." Alan said surprised as Angelica smiled "We are! She trusted me to keep this secret. Since she didn't have time to visit her son, she asked me too." Angelica said and Alan gave her a nod, soon he passed Ian into Cecilia's arms while Cecilia walked over to Angelica placing the baby into her arms, Angelica looked down at him seeing Ian stare back at her and wiggled his arms out of the blanket grabbing a strand of Angelica light pink hair with a giggle making Angelica's eyes wide as her body trembled a bit as the three voices that called out to her faded as she was brought into a past memory.

-Flashback in ???-

-Third Person POV-

Mistress Angelica stood in front of a crib that held the lifeless body of her last living baby as Emperor Soviesu and Empress Rashta stood a few feet behind her 'No...My baby...My son...' Mistress Angelica thought as a maid walked inside the room and told the Emperor and Empress that the baby had fallen ill and soon died later today, Mistress Angelica's body trembled as Sovieshu scoffed "What a pity. I guess it was bound to happen." He said and Mistress Angelica's eyes widened 'No...He doesn't care...That his only-born son died...!' She thought as Rashta sighed sadly "Poor baby. I guess you weren't fit to mother this baby, Mistress Angelica. And after 2 miscarriages before, I had hoped your body would produce a bastard sibling to my child." Rashta said hiding her smirk and proudness at what she accomplished "Let us go, Rashta." Sovieshu said taking Rashta's hand and walking out leaving Mistress Angelica inside the room alone 'My son...' She thought falling to the ground the last memory of her baby son was him grabbing onto her hair giggling as he played with it 'I'm sorry, my boy...I couldn't save you...' She thought tears falling down her face as Rashta heard her sobs 'I had my maids give that bastard son of yours poison, and your next. Mistress Angelica.' Rashta thought with an evil smirk.

-Back In The Rimwell Estate-

-Third Person POV-

"Lady Angelica!?" Cecilia's yelling voice brought Angelica out of her memories as she felt tears run down her cheeks "Huh...?" She mumbled bringing her hand up to her cheeks and wiping the tears away before handing Ian back to Alan "He's such a darling baby. I must go now." Angelica said quickly standing up as Cecilia led her out of the Rimwell Estate and to the carriage waiting for them, Angelica went inside and closed to curtaining inside so no one but Cecilia could see the tears running down her face as Cecilia comforted her as best she could knowing that the interaction with the baby had took a tole on her and brought out unpleasant memories.
