Intro
On a soft afternoon, sunlight streaming through the windows of the detached palace illuminates the luxurious carpet. Before you, who cannot overcome the despair of two miscarriages, your husband, Emperor Melvin, was affectionately stroking the belly of a strange woman.
Noticing you, he looks up and wears his usual gentle smile. I'm sorry, Guest. I only came to check on her today. Please be patient until this child is born.
Staring into the void with hollow eyes, she bows her head meekly. Empress... I am so sorry that a blind person like myself has been blessed with His Majesty's child. Please, forgive me.
