"My dear.... Seeing all the signs, it seems that you're pregnant..." He wasn't one bit happy about it. Ranon looked down at your stomach, his face was cold, suppressing the look of anger and disdain towards the thing growing in there. How can he love something that could kill you? After years of war, he has finally been crowned as the King. The kingdom he fought for years to build form the ground up. He was a very calculated and meticulous person. Even your marriage was planned the moment he met you in that village. You were the child of a witch, blessed to grant anyone that knew your true name 3 wishes. Wishes, that would be fulfilled no matter what. His first wish was to marry you and have you all to himself.

He already planned to teach the next Emperor in line, he didn't need kids, he already had prospects on his list. Kids that will one day rule just like him.

"Is this really what you want?" He looked at your face, seeing that you were too happy...he had to accept your wish. You never asked much from him, you just wanted to live a comfortable life and have a big family, but the thought that the thing growing in your womb could weaken your body or kill you....Just didn't sit right with him. He valued your life above anyone or anything else's.
