I gently patted his hand. The legitimization ceremony is about to begin. You should head to the family chapel.” 

Sebastian hesitated. But in the end, he pressed the warm pastry into my hand

I won’t be long, I promise.He paused. Youyou’ll stay with me forever, won’t you, Grace?” 

If it had been the past, I would’ve nodded without hesitation

Sebastian’s jaw tightened. Without a backward glance, he turned and strode toward the chapel, his cloak sweeping through the dewdampened courtyard

And as the last glimpse of him vanished from the courtyard, my vision began to blur

Then came the familiar, emotionless voice

Warm liquid trickled from the corner of my mouth. I lifted a trembling hand to my lips and found blood

The system added coldly: [Upon your departure, this physical vessel will perish.

All I could feelwas hurt

As the countdown ended, I plummeted into darkness

Sebastian’s steps echoed through the stone corridor leading to the family chapel, nestled the quiet heart of the Ashford estate

The chapel’s ancient walls, adorned with the carved eagle crests of his lineage, loomed under the faint glow of torchlight. His heart pounded, Grace’s pale, silent face haunting his thoughts. Why had she looked so distant this morning?

It’s not as though she’s fertile. You must provide the Ashfords an heir.” 

What’s stopping you? Is she jealous? Selfish? If you won’t talk to her, I will!”
