Because of the damage made to the castle garden, Esmeralda never thought it would still grew back to be this beautiful.
She touched the morning glory, inhaling it after the dew just fell upon it.
Morning walk in the garden has been her routine for the past ten months.
She rubbed her hand on her big stomach, and smiled at the baby that just kicked.
It’s hard to know which one kicked her as her womb housed two individuals.
Her mind flew back to the night she and Vimdraolf spent by the river.
She laughed when she recalled how he redrew out of her, spilling out on her stomach so he doesn’t get her pregnant.
She had child one on their mission to see the wizard, and child two came as a result of the love they shared by the river bank that faithful night.
Vimdraolf was terrified at the news of her being pregnant, and Esmeralda tried her best to console him.
Priscilla had explained to Esmeralda that in a witches curse, it was usually a life for a life.
Esmeralda would have to give up on the children or died in their place. And even at that, one of the children would likely not make it, as no life would pay for his.
She knows this still worries Vimdraolf that her life in danger every second those children are in her.
Esmeralda bit hard on her lips trying to bear the pain. Sweat began to form on her face, and she bend down close to the ground looking for comfort, or a position that would lessen the pain.
No drug given to her by priscilla for the pain has ever worked. Everyday the pain becomes exceeding greater.
Be Gentle My Babies, I Know The Curse Is Causing Pain.
Esmeralda repeats those same words to her children everytime the pain hooks her.
A thin girl about fifteen years of age walked up to Esmeralda with a bow, revealing the message sent to her.
Master has summoned you my lady?
Esmeralda made sure she changed the setting of the castle, she made Vimdraolf less feared and more cherished.
The castle had more light except Vimdraolf’s room, she couldn’t win that battle.
Some worker receive shelter for their service, while some get paid. All the Alphas went back except Chester, Vera and Andrew because Priscilla had to attend to Esmeralda.
Priscilla lived her dream of becoming a healer. Not only to Esmeralda, but also to Alpha Chester mate Vera who claimed to love the palace more.
Chester made the painful choice of removing his child from Vera’s womb before it was mature enough, after the had forced priscilla to tell the truth of Vera’s condition.
The baby was the reason of her declining in health.
Vera was cut into sections, and the baby was removed from her.
Thanks to potion and spell administer by Priscilla, Vera was able to leave critical condition, and everyone was so sure that she would get better.
Only to find out as the days go by which turned out weeks, then months, Vera’s condition didn’t improve nor deteriorate.
She remained stagnant, spending most of her time on bed.
Chester would only find his sanity during his midnight run.
Esmeralda Walked into the castle, straight to the throne room where Vimdraolf sat down gracefully.
She took her position by his side. A part of her knows what this conversation would be about.
It would begin with Vimdraolf trying to convince her to remove the child, and she would end up arguing with all her might says she is keeping the child, even if it would mean her sacrificing her life.
I would not waste time exchanging words with you concerning the matter of our children. If it be the reason why I was summoned, I’m sorry but I would have to take my leave now.
Esmeralda stood up.
She wants a mate that would tell her she is strong, and comfort her during this hard time while respecting her decision.
She walked pass her room, stopping for a second.
Now the room is occupied by her mother, after she moved to her place which is in Vimdraolf’s room.
It’s not easy climbing the whole staircase with such a huge baby bump, but Priscilla recommend it, saying it would ease labour pain.
Esmeralda ran to the chair in the room, Vimdraolf’s favorite chair and she placed herself in it trying to catch her breath.
The door immediately flew open, and she knew who it was, without even turning her head.
When she finally turned her head to her mate, she made sure to give him a killer glare.
I’m not here for that, and I need you to know that this is hard for me too Esmeralda, hence why I have summoned the Elder wizard, he would be your caregiver along side with Priscilla.
He saw the curse, maybe he would find a way for you to overcome Amargo curse.
He affirmed himself that it is a miracle that you are alive till now.
Vimdraolf bowed his head in defeat, looking sorry also
Even though it’s coming late, something you have expected from me.
I’m sorry and I would support your decision of keeping the babies. You would have the best healer and strongest wizard by your side.
Esmeralda could not hold in her tears and also blamed it on the pregnancy hormones.
She is fully aware of hard Vimdraolf could have thought of those words, and how much he pushed himself to say them.
He might not be romantic or expressive, but he is willing to bend and change just for her.
She was really happy and proud of what the most feared monster was becoming.
She jumped up on her feet and ran into his arms breaking down in tears, using it to wet his chest and hair.
Rosa passed the couple’s room quietly. She had seen her daughter stand in front of her former room which is now hers and thought she wanted comfort and to talk, only to get here and see Vimdraolf way ahead of her.
