/ You have lost it, I'm sorry / The regret was evident in the doctor's voice, the faces of Nuro and that alpha were white and I ... I couldn't even feel something, I was calm, but it was not a calm that produces peace It was the lack of everything, there was no pain, but neither joy, pleasure or calm.

/ Is your Highness okay? / The doctor asked clearly worried, but I didn't answer, I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, even blinking was a battle.

/ Your Highness answer! / The doctor looked really terrified, but it didn't affect me in the least.

^ Shilé! ^ Azai stormed into the room only to find a white bed full of blood and someone empty

^ What happened to him?! ^ He said grabbing the doctor's clothes

/ She had a miscarriage, I am very sorry, when she arrived she had already lost a lot of blood, I could only stop the bleeding / The doctor's voice was trembling, if I could have felt something I too would have shrunk from fear to Azai, to say that I was furious it is little, it seemed the very god of destruction Sharn.

Suddenly all his anger disappeared, his knees gave way and kneeling before the bed he began to cry like he had never seen an alpha cry, his hands clutching the bloody sheets staining his skin crimson.

Nuro and the alpha backed away, but before they could get out the door Azai raised his face from the stained sheets.

^ What is he doing here? ^ Between the tears was the hatred in his voice, the two alphas tensed at the voice of Azai.

Nuro tried to make an excuse, but no words came out of his mouth, he was cornered between a rock and a hard place, one wrong step and the two would be executed.

Azai ~

I was about to have him executed when a weak and delicate hand rested on mine.

Shilé's hand rested gently on mine making my gaze fall on him, his eyes began to fill with tears and along with him my eyes began to water too.

It didn't take long for our tears to turn into tears, we hugged each other crying on each other's shoulders, I could feel how Shilé was still warm from the loss of blood, she felt so small and weak in my arms ... small twig that could be snapped by the gentlest of breezes.

In the end I had to be strong for both of them and wiping the tears from her eyes I told her that everything would be fine.

^ It's not your fault, don't cry anymore my love, together we'll get through this ^

Shilé's crying subsided a bit, she looked horrible, her eyes were red and swollen, her skin had no color and she looked very weak.

Just before falling asleep from exhaustion he whispered a few words to me

-Don't punish those two, I'll take care of everything later-

I caressed my precious omega's face and looked up just to see those two tense

^ You will both be under house arrest until Shilé decides what to do with you, out of respect for you Nuro I will lock you in a room instead of in the dungeon ^

After announcing my sentence I called the guards to carry it out, I did not know what had happened so that Shilé had a miscarriage, what I do know is that if those two have been here since before I came it is because they helped Shilé to get here and for that alone his head is still attached to his neck.

Shilé ~

When I woke up the sun was already high in the sky, the doctor as soon as he realized that I was awake gave me a glass of water and checked my condition.

-How long have I slept? - I asked looking the doctor in the eyes

/ Two days / His answer was short and serious, you could tell that he was trying not to show his emotions in front of me, he must have felt horribly bad.

I tried to get up, but my legs failed, before I fell to the ground the doctor grabbed me.

/ Take care, your majesty, you have not moved from the bed for two days, your body is weak / After saying this, you helped me to stand up.

I left the room and went to see Azai, the first place I looked was the office, but he wasn't there, they followed his room and the dining room, but he wasn't there either.

Exhausted, I went out to the garden to get some fresh air and Azai was kneeling right among the flowers.

^ I have never been religious and you are not a god of my land, but please Val, protect Shilé, don't let the loss consume him ^

The bright rays of the sun made his tears glisten, I approached him and hugged him from behind

-Thank you for praying for me to gods who are not even from here just because I believe in them-

Azai kissed my hand and then he let go of my hug to give me one, the loss still hurt a lot, but I feel that together we can overcome it with time.

^ Changing the subject, those two are under house arrest until you decide what to do with them ^

-They will be free, but they will be sent to Vaen-

^ If that is what you want, it will be done ^

I asked Azai where the room was and went there. When I walked in Nuro and that alpha stood up

/ How are you? / Nuro asked, his voice was full of guilt.

-The best thing you can be after losing your son- I answered

-In any case, I have not come to talk about me, your life will be spared, I understand that I cannot interfere in your relationship, if it arose it is because the god Buro wanted it that way, maybe together you will bring balance and peace, but still so I cannot ignore what your partner did and for that reason you will be relieved of your position and returned to Vaen, obviously you will return together and he will be tried in Vaen before a fair court. -

/ You don't understand, he did it for his family, the counselor threatened to kill his mother and his brother if he didn't murder you, but now that the counselor is dead it is not dangerous /

-If so, his mother and brother will be taken to Vaen and the court will be informed of what happened. If it turns out to be true, he will be declared innocent and you will be able to live in peace, if not, the royal family will be hanged for attempted murder and you will be locked up for 30 years for treason. Are you sure you want to defend him and continue with him? -

/ Yes, I am sure, I love him and believe in his goodness /

-Then Buro bless you with his union and Aica provide the truth and give you a fair trial. Your ship will leave as soon as we locate the mother and brother of ... What was your name? -

/ Aenir your majesty /

-Good Aenir, you will leave as soon as we locate your mother and your brother, a guard will come later to collect the data, until you have to go to the ship you will continue under house arrest-

/ Thank you for your compassion, Your Majesty / The two said in unison.

The pain was horrible, but they taught me that pain should never interfere with what is fair, my desire to pour my pain on Nuro should not come before a fair trial or the will of the gods.
