" She was sent flying away before I could even duck from her attack . Charles pulled his hand back and shot Rosalie a warning . " I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life if you dare lay a finger on my sweetheart . " She struggled to get up , coughing out blood as she shot me a death glare . " Just you wait - I'll definitely carry a sacred beast ! " Rosalie fled the place, while Charles continued to feed me from a basketful of fruits . Not long after , I heard that Father flew into a rage because Rosalie insisted on marrying another husband . While ignoring the backlash of her oath , she drugged Kevin Wright , a young heir of the peacock clan , and slept with him . I shook my head . She had truly gone mad . I focused on resting and caring for my unborn hatchlings , but still , Rosalie came flaunting before me . She proudly showed me her swollen belly . " Oh , Clarie , I've practiced the secret art of the peacock clan . This time , I'll definitely give birth to a sacred beast ! " I stared at her belly in surprise . It had only been a short while , yet she already looked six or seven months along . Upon seeing my confusion , Rosalie sweetly explained , " This is the peacock clan's secret art . My pregnancy will be short , and I'm carrying many . I'm having 10 hatchlings this time ! Just wait, Clarie . Soon , you'll be trampled underfoot . " I smiled . " I'll wish you all the best for your sacred beast then , Rosie . Just be sure to take good care of them this time . Otherwise , don't go blaming the royal physician again . " The mention of Rosalie's stillbirths made her face twist in fury . " We'll see . Who's to say yours won't end up dead this time ? " She turned to leave , only to bump into Charles carrying a bowl of medicine for me . He shot her a cold glance , and as she walked past him , she muttered , " Lowly half - beast . " He stopped her . " Apologize ! " Rosalie shrugged . " So what if I cursed at you ? Your children would be lowly half - beasts anyway . " Charles handed the medicine to me , carefully cooling it before feeding it to me . Only then did he calmly reply , " As long as it's from my sweetheart , I'd still treasure them dearly even if they're half - beasts . Unfortunately , you can't bear even a lowly half- breed , Rosalie . " Rosalie pointed at him and yelled , " You'll defend this bitch to the end , won't you ? Why didn't you treat me like that when I was 1/2 +25 Bonus Your wife all those years back then ? " " Plane stop your dohisions , Rosalie A woman like you was never to my taste , " Charles replied . Rosabe nearby hinged at him , only stopping when Father showed up . She stomped away angrily , saying that she'd use the secret arts to give birth on the same day as me . She wanted my so - called Aal - Norst Aatchlings to have a good look at her sacred beast hatchling Charles grow upset after Rosalie left . He caressed my belly and said , " I regret it now , sweetheart . I shouldn't have gotten you pregnant You're carrying nine hatchlings - it'll bring you so much pain . should go talk to the royal physician . We should let them go while they're still small . Even if you ended up frail , I could always sacrifice myself to make you healthy . " A faint smile tugged at my lips as I lay in Charles ' arms . What had I ever done to deserve someone like him ? " The hatchlings will be fine , and so will 1 , Charles . " When his frown lingered , 1 teased , " But what if they really are half - beasts ? " Charles rested his head against my stomach and solemnly said , " They'll still be our darlings . " His eyes gleamed as he continued , " Half - merfolks would be the most beautiful children of all .
