Chateau Blois, France

King Louis XIII POV

I see my brothers and sisters playing happily as they have nothing to worry about anymore since last year, I executed our third cousin also known as the Pretender King, Francois.

I do not blame Mary or Jasmine as he put mind control potions in their drinks as soon as possible.

Mary does not care for the throne in fact if her father hadn't been vying for power at the time, she would have been wed to Edward Seymour a lot sooner than last year.

She had been in love with him since she was a child but since she was betrothed to Francois, she was in a hopeless situation.

But now, she is happily married to the Duke of Somerset and has given him three sons and two daughters and from what I hear, might be expecting more.

From what I hear she is two months along with child and will deliver on October 13th 1516.

I act as I am supposed to as King and with my Queen at my side when she is old enough will be the Queen of my heart and the mother to my heirs.

As Artemis is only a year and six months, I have to wait eleven and a half more years.

But that is okay, she is worth the wait and besides, I am only a child myself.


Chateau Brereton

Nerissa Brereton POV

I have the most glorious news after delivering three sons and a daughter last year, I am three months with child again.

My sons are named Anthony, Wiliam, and Harold.

And my daughters are named Jade and Angelina.

And now I am pregnant again, although my sister wife is also with child as well.

She is four months along with child and her children's names are Thomas and Edward.

Diana may think she is the Queen of William's heart, but I plan to prove her wrong.

She has nothing on me and even if she does, William will never believe her but he shall believe me.

Chateau Naples

Aria Naples nee Fiore (Belle)

I am finally with child again after the birth of Samuel, Edward, and Vincent which was November 21st 1514.

And now, I am three months with child and hopefully with sons even though Samuel doesn't have to worry about heirs any longer.

As soon as Samuel comes home, I will tell him the good news and with our son's one-and-a-half-years old and our daughters two as I see Petunia's children as my own, we never need to worry.

The physician thinks that if I give birth to more than four children, I will either die or be rendered infertile so I take a breath and go to my husband.

''If I am rendered infertile from this pregnancy, I ask you to marry again but keep me as a wife as even though I will not be able to carry a child which they say is infertility, I will still have my eggs. And since I have magic, I can transfer my eggs to your new bride when you marry again.''

''Let us do it now. We have a chapel and the priest lives here in this chateau and we have a visiting noble's daughter.''

''Yes, we can do it now. Rachel Seymour will be a perfect bride as she just turned twelve (oc that was born in 1504). And once she is done, you can feast on her life force.''

And so, Samuel Naples wed Rachel Seymour and when their wedding night came, he not only got her pregnant with their own child, but Aria put some of her own eggs within Rachel and her child with Samuel began growing within Rachel.


April 4th 1516

Rachel Naples nee Seymour POV

I am the wife of a Duke and have power over Samuel.

I believe I am with child and mayhap my sister will be Queen of England instead of the witch that is on the throne now.

Jane may not know how to read or write as much as the Queen, but she is a better choice.

I have been nauseous ever since my wedding day but it has not been a month yet so I cannot say if I am with child or if it is something else.

My father may be disappointed in me but at least I am not another woman, I am a wife to a Duke.


April 23rd 1516

Aria Naples POV

We find out from the midwife that Rachel is indeed pregnant and is due in December.

''How many pregnancies do you need her for?''

''Why? What did she do?''

''She told me you love her more than you love me and that I am just an old maid.''

''You can take her life after this pregnancy and we will find someone else to help us.''

''I thank thee my husband.''

And so, I know that I will be my husband's number one wife and he will do anything for me.
