"..Let's bet on this.." An adult man with clean-shaved jet black hair gazing down on the floor furiously with his fist hardened as his eyebrows furrowed, teeth gritted, and squinted, he knew that the situation dimmed incorrect yet.
"B-bet? On our infant!? Have you finally gone mad Bo!?" Bingqing stated, holding her stomach to keep the soon to be heir to the water tribe from wriggling around.
"It needs to be done Qing!" Bo snapped, his fist jammed on the table.
"If you give birth to a male, it's yours, if you give birth to a female, it's mine" Bo said as if venom was spitting out of his words.
"No..no you wouldn't do this! Please Bo this is too much! W-what if she or him can be heir to both elements? T-that would be f-fai-" she was cut off with another shout.
"It wouldn't! Your ice kingdom already has too many heirs! Unlike ours, we don't! I've been ruling for so many years!, And I don't want a male heir, im terrified if he ever rules, like how my sloppy father did." the king said.
"That's not a valid reason Bo! Please just listen to me!" Bingqing said, tears about to fall out of her eyes.
"Enough, guards." He said, and soon, guards with blue-ish kind of armor appeared near Bo,
"Bring her to the dungeon, don't forget to feed her well. She's pregnant." Bo said, turning his back on bingqing.
The guards started marching towards qing, their rough hands grabbing her arms, Qing silently winced in pain as she felt the little kicks in her stomach.
"Please Bo just listen to me! Please!" Qing's cries for Bo slowly faded away as she was brought to were the dungeon was.
Usually the dungeon was used mainly for criminals or people who disobeyed thy king. This was different. Has king Bo finally gone mad?
- * & • -
Months later, qing was in labor, the maids rushed in the dungeon, preparing a comfy place to lay her down and some towels, numerous maids walked in and out of the dungeon to get hot water for the birth.
"W-where's Bo?" Qing weakly said, asking for his presence. A husband should always tend to his wife, right? Then why wasn't he coming?
"I'm sorry queen qing but, the king has duties to fulfill." The maid said sadly at her. She felt pity for her, the once determined and strong queen has became weak in the knees for just months of being near Bo's side on the throne.
Qing weakly nodded, and soon the pushing started, qing's pained cries were matched with her icycle like tears that dried on her face.
Hours later, it stopped.
"My queen, congratulations. You gave birth to.." the maid held both babies on her arms, one on her left and one on her right.
"Twin sisters." She finished her sentence
"O-oh my god." She weakly said, the maid slowly placed the babies near her.
One baby had eyes that imitated the icy mountains of their world. Clear Crystal blue eyes, her hair had blue and white strands, her skin? very white.
"Xuê, Xuê Haiyang." She said smiling at Xuê, booping her nose.
The other baby had black ebony hair, her eyes imitated the dangerous ocean, her skin also a fair white. It's as if she imitated the dangers of being drowned.
"Shui, Shui Haiyang" she said, kissing her forehead.
"I love both of you, my daughters." She said as she fell asleep. Exhausted from the birth giving.
