His Regret: Her Rebirth Chapter Forty-two
LINES IN THE DUSTXENIA’S POVThey didn’t respond to the name.Not out loud.But something changed.The next morning, the council closed two of the eastern courtyards “for maintenance.” No reason given. No timeline offered.One of those courtyards led to the old temple wing.The other led to my study.They never said I couldn’t use it. They just made it harder.A message without words.A line drawn in dust — easy to deny, easy to erase, but still there.CATTY’S POV“They’re testing her patience,” I said to Reyna.She didn’t look up from her list.“No,” she said. “They’re testing their reach.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”Reyna looked at me then, steady.“They want to know if she’ll step around the line… or step over it.”XENIA’S POVI didn’t change my route.I just walked a little further.Down a back corridor. Through an unused servants’ passage. Out into the gardens and back in through the long gallery.I didn’t need to fight them on the closure.I just needed to show that I was s

THE NAMINGXENIA’S POVI didn’t plan a response.No speech. No formal audience.I just kept doing what I’d been doing.Walking the halls. Showing up to the morning briefings. Sitting with Brin when the village midwives came to visit.But this time, I didn’t cover my stomach.No loose shawl. No careful draping of my cloak.I let the shape of my body speak first.Let them see what they’d been whispering about.Not rumor.Not theory.Just truth, wrapped in skin and silence.CATTY’S POVIt was subtle.But people noticed.The way the council aides glanced sideways when she walked by.How the guard at the east wing pressed a hand to his chest — not out of fear, but respect.No one said anything outright.But the whispers changed.Softened.You can’t call something shameful when it won’t hide.RICO’S POVI didn’t ask her what she was doing.Didn’t ask if it hurt.But when she stepped out of her room in that simple navy dress — the one she hadn’t worn since before the vote — and walked throug

QUIET TEETHXENIA’S POVI first noticed it in the way people paused when I entered a room.Not everyone. Just a few.A scribe who stopped mid-sentence. A steward who suddenly remembered something urgent. A kitchen boy who went quiet as I passed.It wasn’t fear.It was uncertainty.Someone had been speaking — not loudly, but often enough. Long enough.That’s how erosion works.You don’t always hear it happening.You just wake up one day and realize the ground’s gone soft beneath your feet.CATTY’S POVShe didn’t ask right away.Just paid more attention.Watched where the silences were.Who avoided her eyes.Who suddenly “had to go.”And when she finally turned to me and asked, “Have you heard anything?” — I told her the truth.“Not directly. But something’s moving.”She nodded.She didn’t ask for names.I think that worried me more.RICO’S POVThere was a rumor circulating.Not about her — not at first.About the child.Someone started asking questions:Why hasn’t the Luna’s pregnancy

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINETHINGS THEY CAN’T TOUCHXENIA’S POVThe first open shift wasn’t dramatic.No slammed doors. No heated words. Just a moment that passed so quietly, I almost missed it.It happened during a minor dispute over grain distribution — something the council usually handled with signatures and shrugs.This time, Elder Verin spoke up.“We should send someone to speak with the south farmers directly,” he said. “They’ve requested mediation. I recommend the Luna.”Silence.Not because of the suggestion.Because he still called me that.Cerra didn’t correct him.She just moved to the next item on the agenda.But her jaw was tight.And Verin didn’t look at me. Not then.He didn’t need to.RICO’S POVI heard about it before she told me.Word moved fast through the palace — faster than policy ever did.By dinner, the guards in the southern corridor were already calling her “Luna” again. Not to her face. Just in conversation. Naturally. Like it had never stopped.That’s the thing ab

A QUIET SHIFTXENIA’S POVI didn’t notice it at first.It was Catty who pointed it out — small things, barely worth a mention.The linens outside the study room were replaced. Clean, pressed. The broken latch on the door had been fixed without anyone saying anything. A small vase appeared on the windowsill one morning, with fresh cut flowers that didn’t grow anywhere near the palace grounds.I asked around.No one claimed it.No one needed to.Sometimes loyalty isn’t loud. It doesn’t march or kneel or speak in full sentences.Sometimes, it just shows up.CATTY’S POVI started noticing who came and went in silence.A guard delivering fruit no one asked for.One of the cooks slipping in a hand pie with her tea.A healer dropping off herbs that Brin hadn’t requested.None of it seemed coordinated.But none of it was random either.People were making space for her.Not because they were told to.Because they wanted to.XENIA’S POVI started taking walks again.Early. Before the sun came u
His Regret: Her Rebirth Chapter Thirty-seven
BETWEEN THE LINESXENIA’S POVIt started with the letters.Not official ones — nothing sealed or stamped.Just scraps, really. Folded parchment with uneven ink. Some were from border towns. A few from inside the palace. Most unsigned.They all said the same thing in different ways.We saw what you did.Thank you for remembering us.They stopped listening. You didn’t.I kept them in a drawer beneath the old desk in the study room. Read them at night when the baby kicked and I couldn’t sleep.I never wrote back.I didn’t need to.RICO’S POVThe council still hadn’t replaced her.No official Luna. No new face. Just Cerra filling in with “administrative oversight,” whatever that meant.But people noticed.Not the nobility. Not right away.The kitchen staff. The guards. The post runners and junior scribes.They noticed when she walked past and nodded to them. When she listened. When she followed up on the things they thought no one heard.They didn’t need to see a crown.They just needed s
