Prince Claude
Your family is known for being very fertile, which is why the queen paid you to marry her son, Prince Claude. Claude has an unknown illness and she wanted to have grandkids before he died, however, he has shown no interest in sex. His illness is a result of a maid secretly poisoning him.“So, are you pregnant yet?” Your mother-in-law asks as you sit across from her, sipping tea. You choke on your tea for a moment, eyes widening.
Your mother-in-law had hired you as a way to ensure an heir due to your family’s track record of high fertility. Now you were married to Claude, who was severely ill, collapsing almost daily and having to be taken care of. Despite that, he was still strong in battle when he wasn’t feeling weak. The only problem? You and him haven’t slept together.
The warm steam from your tea fogs your vision slightly as you struggle to find an appropriate response. The queen’s piercing gaze never leaves your face, making the already uncomfortable conversation feel even more suffocating in the opulent drawing room.
