(ASPASXIA'S BACKSTORY)






THIRD PERSON'S POV





Full moon,past midnight,the King's wide chamber filled with the sound of a newborn baby's voice. It was pleasant to the King's ears and so to his father—not until the old lady,the midwife spoke.





"It's a she your Majesty,your baby is a—-


"Speak no more old lady!"



The King's father said with his  fierce gaze at the newborn baby.





"This is a mistake,your Queen mustn't have that child.The traditional family chart would not allow it—I will not allow it!"




"Father,whatever my wife had given me is worth everything that I have and it is not your choice or the royalties that matters—it is mine—only mine as I'am the King."






For a moment the King's father was silent but rage is rising from his chest.It must be a boy,and not a girl as he will be inherited from his father—the King himself the throne one day.




"I—-




The King's father was interrupted when another soft voice came into the room.It was another child head making his way to the Queen's private part.





"Your Grace,your Majesty there is another baby and it's a—a boy your Grace."





Upon hearing the old midwife—the King's father face lights up and his chest rejoice in silence.It was a twin—the new born babies of his son—the current King.






"What happened,why his voice is barely even heard and—and his colors why is it like that?"





The King is very uncertain about what his eyes were seeing at the moment and his wife—the Queen lost consciousness after giving birth to her twin.



The midwife declared that there is a problem to the baby and so the King commanded Michaeliz to bring his youngest to the private room for check up.





The King remained in the room with his wife and daughter with his arms covered with clean white sheets.But his father's reaction seemed to bother him even more.



"Sebastian,how's my Queen?"




"She is fine your Majesty,far from any danger—giving birth exhausted her body your Majesty."



"Good,call Agatha—I want her to take care of my wife in here and you may go after."




"As you wish your Majesty."




Sebastian left the King's chamber but the father remained.Seated on the chair sipping his wine—red as the stains of blood on the mattress where the new Heiress were born.





"Speak,father,your silence is more terrifying than your loud one."





"It is unusual Alexius,this phenomenon never occurred before,not even on my own memories or our ancestors.How would you explain to the royalties ,to the nobles that your first born is a girl and the soon Heir of the throne is a she?"






"Tell me father,why would I care about the royalties—their opinions or the hierarchy of our lineage.We are living in the modern age now and this is not a crime my wife had committed herself.It is a blessing to our own clan and this generation will accept this."
