Chapter 165
***
[I thought it would’ve been the Emperor’s child.]
In those fleeting memories, Seraphina’s belly grew noticeably day by day. Sometimes she beat her stomach, while others she fell down the stairs. However, the child didn’t perish. The Emperor confined Seraphina to a room in what seemed to be indifference to her condition, waiting only for the birth of the child.
Seraphina...
In a show of defiance, she refused to eat a thing – but she gorged on fruits on some days, and on others, stuffed herself with meat. That was inevitable; hunger was hard to ignore when with child.
Seraphina then forced herself to throw up all that she had eaten. Sez, looking on, watched Seraphina spew the contents of her stomach with her fingers in her mouth.
“Seraphina. Don’t do this... please...”
Sez tried grabbing her shoulder, but it was in vain.
[I needed to kill it, it needed to die, but I was eating again before I knew it. I thought I’d truly become a beast.]
