Reborn As the Phoenix Queen Chapter 8
As soon as Alice spoke, everyone present finally understood the truth.Had she followed the instructions properly, she might've had a healthy child. But her greed had doomed her.The scandal made the dragon clan a laughingstock yet again. Rumors spread that Max was impotent, and that his wife had not only cheated on him but even resorted to using a crude fertility folk remedy from the lowly toad tribe.Max, already in a foul mood, would only grow more cruel to Alice after this humiliation.A month later, just as I was shopping for cloth to make clothes for my babies and preparing to head home, I saw Alice cradling a basket to her chest and sneaking into a secluded alley.Word on the street was that Alice had lost her mind. She was said to be snatching children from around the dragon clan.I didn't give it much thought. With a cheerful heart, I returned home, eager to welcome my soon-to-hatch little ones.But the door to my room stood wide open, and the incubator was empty.All three ba

When I woke, three babies were lying next to me. David sat at my side, gently wiping the sweat from my brow with a soft towel.I was just about to speak when a scream pierced the air—it was Alice."I can't do this! I don't want to give birth anymore! Just kill me, please! Kill me now!""Alice, hold on! You're almost there!"Her sobbing and the midwife's encouragement overlapped in a chaotic chorus. Our birthing rooms were separated by only a single wall. She was still in the middle of labor."Ella, you've been through so much," David murmured, pressing a kiss to my forehead. His gaze held concern, guilt, and overwhelming tenderness."Is it too noisy here? Should I take you and the little ones home so you can rest properly?"In my past life, after I gave birth, Max had eyes only for the child. He didn't care that I'd labored for two entire days and nights. He shoved the baby into my arms and demanded I start nursing immediately.To him, I was nothing more than a means to produce a half-

Before I could even finish speaking, David leapt out of bed, dressed, and bolted out the door to fetch the physician.Less than ten minutes later, the doctor arrived in our room.He placed his fingers on my wrist and began to examine my pulse, his brow furrowing deeply as he alternated between shaking and nodding his head.The room was oppressively quiet. David sat beside me, his face etched with concern.Finally, the physician stood and offered us a congratulatory bow."Congratulations, David. Ella is two months pregnant. Judging by the signs, she should be ready to bear your child in just a few days!"I had remained calm until that last part."Really? Bear a child?" I blinked. "How can it happen so soon?"David chuckled and gently stroked my head, explaining, “The peacock clan is a bit different from the others. We bear children faster than other clans .”From the moment we confirmed the pregnancy, David wouldn’t let me lift a finger. He followed me around all day, trying to feed me

The tiger and leopard clan leaders immediately stepped in to challenge Alice's claim."We do not recognize this half-beast. The original agreement clearly stated the child must be born of a union between a human and the firstborn son of a beast clan household.""If the dragons start bending the rules like this, what happens to bloodline purity? Who knows what kind of monsters we'd end up with?""Hmph. This matter requires the unanimous consent of the remaining four clans. As far as the tiger and leopard clans are concerned, we firmly disagree."The sea serpent clan, standing quietly to the side, also voiced their stance."Our clan has long withdrawn from worldly affairs. We will not participate in these political decisions."Four clans. One abstained. Two objected. As for the lowly peacock clan… no one even bothered to ask their opinion.Whatever sliver of hope Max had felt after hearing Alice's words instantly vanished. Rage consumed him once more."Alice, look at what you've done! Yo

"This is Max's child! Isn't a color mutation in dragon skin completely normal?"Alice clung stubbornly to the claim that the green-skinned child was Max's. But what she didn't know was that Max was a purebred white dragon. His bloodline had never carried the gene for green dragon.Max's expression was stormy, his entire body radiating fury."Alice, whose bastard is this? Who did you sleep with behind my back? If you don't tell me the truth right now, I'll kill this mongrel myself."Our father, pale with fear, rushed to intervene. "Max, calm down. This must be some kind of misunderstanding. Alice loves you so much. How could she possibly betray you?"Encouraged by Father's support, Alice quickly brought the child to Max, her voice soft and coaxing. "Look, he looks just like you—his eyes are identical."Max coldly took the green infant from her arms. The small green child, who had been sleeping soundly, burst into loud, terrified wails the moment it saw Max's face.That heart-wrenching c

David's cool voice sounded beside my ear."Ella, I know you chose me because you had no other option. But I promise, within my power, I will never let you suffer."I turned instinctively at the sound of his voice and accidentally stumbled into his chest.A strange yet pleasant scent drifted into my nose.I looked up at him and said slowly, with deliberate clarity, "David, I chose you willingly."A flicker of something unreadable passed through David's eyes. "…Alright. Ella."Three days later, the wedding arrived as scheduled.Both ceremonies were held in the same grand restaurant.The dragon clan's wedding was even more extravagant than in my previous life. They had gone so far as to invite the reclusive sea serpent clan to perform, and all the major noble houses attended in full force.Meanwhile, the peacock clan's celebration was quieter, with no distinguished guests, yet the clan members beamed with genuine joy. After all, this was their first marriage to a human—a sign they might f
