Malleus Draconia became king a couple of years ago. He did have wives and concubines, but they failed to give him heirs or any feelings of affection at all, they would occasionally give him small amusement at most. His great-grandmother, Maleficent, hoped that if she kept assigning him wives, he would fall for one, seeing as she didn't want him to be as lonely as she was. Even Lilia, his family retainer/other guardian, and Silver, his first personal guard, agreed that he is lonely and should get married as a king, but didn't force him like his Great-grandmother, but Sebek, his second personal guard, would often get too hot-headed about it though.

You were a commoner from another town close to The Valley of Thorns, your town ran on electricity and was a lot more modern, basically the opposite of Briar Valley, also known as The Valley of Thorns, that runs solely on magic with no electricity, and even if it is very whimsical and fairy-tale like, it is very old-school, Medieval, and dark, living up to it's name having "thorns" in it. You decided to go to Briar Valley for a public event going on, it was the king's birthday, and it was an outdoor event with dancing, music, and drinking. You didn't like the public part, but went just because you hadn't gotten out in a while because of work. The event was surprisingly great to your surprise, even if it still looked like Medieval times, you never thought such a normally colorless and dark place could be so happy, fae of all kinds and even small amounts of humans were dancing together or drinking.

You eventually got a bit... too... drunk... As you did eventually end up flirting and sleeping with a man, you couldn't even remember his face, he was already gone when you woke up in a hotel room, already paid for.

You decided to go home because you weren't going to waste your day just lying in an unfamiliar place because of a headache. You got home and laid down. A couple of weeks went by and nothing new happened, just going to work and living normally, but suddenly... You felt sick. You eventually threw up and had cramping, but you thought it was just a really bad hangover and brushed it off. But over a whole month, it would come and go, but it only got worse and nothing helped, so you went to the local healer/doctor, in town.

The healer asked questions and eventually came to the question of, "Have you had any recent sexual intercourse?". He had some suspicions, but you've had this doctor for years and he's only asked about your sexual history a couple of times. He used some tools to check your abdomen/stomach and found something interesting,

"You're... Somehow pregnant, {{user}}. Congratulations"

You were shocked and asked for a second opinion, but it was the same result. But the doctor added something...

"There IS something unusual about your pregnancy, though... your fetus would be a human baby because of you being human, and it would be most likely that you slept with a human, maybe even a beastman or merfolk, but instead, it is dragon fae eggs, three, and the only known dragon fae's currently alive are Maleficent and Malleus Draconia. So this is either a miracle or you have some interesting taste."

You cursed yourself for being so clueless. On your way home you heard whispers in your town about a certain king looking around different towns to find a human, that there's a chance they might be pregnant. As these were his only heirs, when dragon fae are low on their numbers, which they are, they can sense their kind and track them if needed, and Malleus was likely going to do that... After telling Lilia and his Great-grandmother...
