The air in the underground chamber was thick with the scent of blood and fear. Prince Garret, his hands trembling, watched as the palace healer turned the swaddled bundle towards him. His wife, Pandora, lay exhausted, fresh tears already welling in her eyes.

"It's a g-girl, your highness," the healer stammered, pity etched on his face.

Garret's world tilted. Another daughter. His first, Aekeira, was barely four, and King Orestus was already negotiating her sale. Now, this? Tears stung his own eyes as he looked at the tiny, crying bundle.

"No!" Pandora cried out, burying her face in his arms, sobs racking her body.

Then, a sudden, fierce resolve hardened her voice. "I’ll raise her like a boy. This child will never be seen as a girl. No one will ever find out!"

Garret, numb with despair, agreed. It was their only hope. "As far as we are concerned, the child I bore today was a male. His name is Emeriel. Emeriel Galilea Evenstone."

That night, holding Pandora close, Garrett gazed at his sleeping children, a silent prayer rising in his heart. Whatever god you are, please... protect our angels.
