During Lady Orielle's challenging pregnancy, she endured constant fainting spells and sleepless nights due to the relentless discomfort caused by the child in her womb.
After ten strenuous months, one afternoon, everyone in the bedchamber was horrified to witness the birth of a baby with a tailfin, crying desperately. Lord Karius, taken aback and filled with fear, immediately ordered that the child be disposed of. However, despite her own shock and anguish, Lady Orielle passionately cried out to him, begging for their baby's life to be spared. After Lord Karius refused to accept the baby with a tailfin, he decided that the child would be cast away the following day.
However, tragedy struck when Lady Orielle passed away just three hours later. Devastated by his wife's death, Lord Karius was heartbroken. Amid his grief, a household servant brought astonishing news that reignited hope within Lord Karius. Rushing to the nursery, he found a normal baby with kicking legs. Overwhelmed by a surge of paternal instinct, he resolved to seek guidance from a wise woman living on a nearby island.
