The day came and went. Nolan sat in his chambers, watching the sun move across the sky.

There was no sign of Gianna.

He couldn't go to the healer, not in this condition. His legs were weak and his vision blurred at the edges.

He couldn't send Elmund either. Another visit to Valemont would start rumors he couldn't afford.

Footsteps approached his door. The healer entered without knocking.

"She's not coming," he said.

Nolan's jaw tightened. "What?"

"Lady Gianna came to me three days ago. She's ba

    The ride back to the palace was smooth and romantic, the carriage swaying gently as they held each other close. Nolan couldn't seem to stop touching her, his hands always finding hers, his lips pressing soft kisses to her hair, her cheeks, her mouth.That night, they made love with a passion and intensity that left Gianna breathless. Nolan worshipped her body like it was a temple, his hands and lips mapping every inch of her skin. He whispered words of love and devotion against her ear, his voice rough with emotion.Afterwards, as they lay tangled together, Nolan joked about wanting to relive their wedding night, to erase the memory of the rogue king and his minions ruining that special moment. Gianna laughed softly and kissed him, silently vowing to make every night feel like a wedding night from now on.The next morning, Gianna woke before Nolan, her mind already racing with thoughts of the curse and the mysterious healer's words. She slipped out of bed quietly, not wanting to dist

    Gianna stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the warm cloak around her shoulders. Her heart was racing with anticipation and curiosity, wondering what surprise Nolan had in store for her.When she stepped out of the closet, Nolan was waiting for her. He looked at her with such love and admiration that it took her breath away. Without a word, he swept her into his arms, carrying her bridal style out of their chambers and through the palace corridors.The night air was cool against Gianna's face as they stepped outside. Nolan carried her to a waiting carriage, settling her gently inside before climbing in beside her. The carriage lurched forward, and they began to move through the darkness.As they traveled, the path grew narrower and the trees grew thicker. The moonlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows across their faces. Nolan kept his arms around Gianna, holding her close and pressing soft kisses to her hair, her cheeks, her lips."Where are we going?" Gianna

    Gianna watched Nolan's face as she spoke the words."I'm pregnant."For a moment, he just stared at her. His eyes wide, his mouth slightly open. It was like he couldn't quite process what she had just said."You're... pregnant?" he repeated slowly, as if testing the words on his tongue.Gianna nodded. She placed a hand on her stomach, a gesture that was already becoming familiar."Yes," she said softly. "I only found out yesterday. I was going to tell you, but I didn't know how you would react. I was scared that maybe... maybe you wouldn't want to have a child. Not now. Not with everything that's happening."Nolan's shock melted into something else. Something softer. Something that looked almost like awe.He moved toward her, his steps slow and careful, like he was approaching something sacred.When he reached her, he sank to his knees in front of her. His hands came up to rest on her hips, his thumbs brushing gently over her stomach."How long?" he asked, his voice a whisper."Two mo

    Nolan felt like the world was crumbling around him.Gianna's threat to hurt herself hung in the air between them, a heavy and terrible thing. He could see the resolve in her eyes, the desperation that drove her to make such a statement.And he knew he couldn't let her follow through.He couldn't bear the thought of her harming herself, especially not because of him. Not because he was too stubborn or too afraid to tell her the truth.So he took a deep breath, and he spoke the words that he had been holding inside for so long."I'm dying, Gianna."The words felt strange on his tongue. Foreign. Like they belonged to someone else's life, not his own.But they were the truth. The awful, inescapable truth.Gianna's face went pale. Her eyes widened, and for a moment, Nolan thought she might faint.But she didn't. Instead, she moved to his side, her hands reaching for him, her touch gentle and trembling."What do you mean?" she whispered. "How... how long have you known?"Nolan closed his ey

    Gianna woke to an empty bed.The space beside her was cold, the sheets rumpled where Nolan had lain. She sighed heavily and sat up, running a hand through her hair.It was becoming a familiar feeling, waking up alone. Nolan was always gone before she opened her eyes, off attending to some matter of the kingdom or dealing with some new crisis.But this morning, Gianna's mind was occupied with a different thought.The baby.She placed a hand on her stomach, still marveling at the idea that there was a life growing inside her. Nolan's child. Their child.How would she tell him? How would he react to the news?She remembered Iris's words, the warning that Nolan would have to make a choice that would change everything. Did it have something to do with this child? Was this baby the catalyst for whatever decision Nolan would have to make?Gianna didn't know. And the uncertainty made her heart race with fear.But she knew she couldn't keep this secret for long. She couldn't hide something thi

    Nolan watched Gianna's face carefully as she assured him she was alright.He didn't believe her.There was something in her eyes, a shadow that hadn't been there before. A weight that seemed to press down on her even as she tried to smile at him.But he didn't pry. He didn't push her to tell him what was wrong.Part of him felt guilty for how rough he had been with her the previous night. He had taken her with a desperation that bordered on violence, driven by a need that he couldn't fully understand. He had been trying to lose himself in her, trying to forget the terrible choice that the healer had presented to him.The choice between his life and Gianna's.He couldn't make that choice. He wouldn't. But the knowledge of it, the fact that it had even been suggested, weighed on him like a physical burden.So he didn't press Gianna for answers she clearly wasn't ready to give. Instead, he got her something to eat, watching carefully as she picked at the food. He held her close to him, w

    Iris's voice was urgent and filled with a seriousness that Gianna had never heard before."Heed my warning, Gianna," Iris said, her words coming through the mental connection like a plea. "Stop searching for information about Faes. Stop asking questions. Stop trying to uncover the truth."Gianna fe

    Gianna reached her chamber, her entire body trembling with the effort of running and the weight of everything she had just learned.She closed the door quietly behind her and leaned against it, trying to catch her breath. Her heart was still pounding wildly in her chest. Her legs felt weak beneath

    The figure descended the stairs slowly, each footstep echoing through the library like a heartbeat.As he came closer, Gianna could finally see him clearly.He was a young man, probably around the same age as Nolan, with sharp features and a lean frame that suggested grace rather than bulk. His ski

    Gianna jolted awake in the darkness.The bed beside her was cold. Nolan was gone.She sat up quickly, her heart beginning to race. Where was he? How long had he been gone? She threw off the blankets and moved toward the door, wrapping her robe around herself as she went.The corridor was dimly lit
