Irene slowly stirred from her unconsciousness.
Her eyelids fluttered before finally opening.
For a few moments, she simply stared at the ceiling, her mind still clouded by the remnants of darkness.
Then she remembered.
The duke estate.
Her mother.
Irene's breathing quickened.
She immediately raised a trembling hand to her neck.
Her fingers searched for the necklace.
There.
She felt its familiar shape beneath her fingertips.
The necklace was still there.
A small sense of relief washed over her.
She closed her eyes for a moment, holding it tightly as though it were the only thing keeping her anchored to reality.
Then she heard a hurried movement beside her.
"Your Highness!"
Libby immediately rose from her chair and hurried to her side.
Her expression was filled with worry.
"You're awake."
Irene slowly turned toward her.
"My mother..."
Her voice was weak.
"Where is my mother?"
"Please don't worry, Your Highness. The Duchess has been brought safely into the palace. She still unconscious and is in another chamber. Her personal maid is staying beside her."
Irene's eyes softened slightly.
"I want to see her."
She pushed the blanket aside and attempted to stand.
But just as she stood, her head feels heavy and dizzy. She almost fall.
Libby immediately supported her and lead her to sit back.
"Your Highness, please. Maybe another time. You shouldn't force yourself. You need enough rest." She tries to persuade her.
"I need to see her." But Irene remained stubborn.
"You have only just awakened."
"I don't care."
Irene tried again to rise.
Libby hesitated.
Then she spoke carefully.
"Your Highness, you can't keep forcing yourself anymore. You are carrying a child."
Irene froze.
Her entire body went still.
Slowly, she turned her head.
"What?"
Irene stared at her as though she had spoken a foreign language.
"What did you just-"
"Your Highness..."
"Repeat what you just said."
Libby look confused.
"You're pregnant, Your Highness."
Silence.
Irene's face slowly drained of color.
