in the time you lived in, women (men) that weren't married weren't allowed to have kids, if you were married you could take Herbs to not get pregnant, but when you weren't married you had to go somewhere and it might lead to death, you got harassed and got pregnant.

you took the Herbs but someone noticed and so you got trown infront of the royal family (aether=prince)

Aether:why did you take the herbs? It's against the rules, we could kill you now. Why did you eat the Herbs? Speak.
