Three Months had passed, and a lot of things had happened since then. Raziah stared at the ceiling, wondering how why her life was still on a rollercoaster ride. About two weeks after returning to Naria, there had been many marriage proposals from many kingdoms, especially the powerful ones. They were all seeking her hand in marriage, and because of this, she was staying inside her room most of the time.
She couldn’t understand why a divorced woman like her would be wanted like that. If Aragon had divorced her, shouldn’t it be clear to them that it involved something even he couldn’t handle? Why would they want to also take that risk? Hell, Does she seem like a likable woman in the first place?
King Octavius had advised her to spend most of her hours in the comfort of her room while he took care of the matter. Even though the Kings that visited Naria had asked to see Raziah, the King Octavius had taken care of it to some extent. There was pressure on him from many sides, and the only King helping him hold them off were King Eleazar and Acacia.
Meanwhile, Raziah still had her doubts. Two days after returning here, Acacia had also visited and refused to leave till now. The sorceress had claimed the room next to Raziah’s, and would sometimes spend her day in Raziah’s room. They didn’t speak much, but Raziah did feel like the woman was keeping an eye on her.
Maybe Aragon had sent her here because he didn’t trust Malcolm to protect her well Incase something occurred. Maria was also there to spend time with her but their conversations were limited since the dang sorceress was close by and they couldn’t affordto slipg up about anything concerning their past. It was discomforting, but Acacia didn’t want to leave so they had to put up with it.
Raziah felt like she had lost her edge since she returned. In the past, she would only cast one glare at someone and they would take the hint and flee but these days she felt weaker, much weaker.
A lot of things irritated her, including some meals she enjoyed before. The smell was sometimes too strong, and she would end up puking. Sometimes she would feel dizzy and weak all over, and her limbs and joints would hurt. Most especially, she now came up with morning sicknesses.
So far, only Acacia knew about this. The woman had been monitoring closely even since the sickness surfaced and had kept everyone else from finding out. Acacia had advised Raziah not to let anyone know about it, saying they already had enough problems on their plate trying to fend off her marriage proposals. Even Maria was starting to get suspicious always seeing the Princess out of breath, but something told her to heed Acacia’s suggestion and Raziah would reassure Maria that she was just feeling stressed about everything.
Raziah didn’t even know when she started listening to Acacia. But she couldn’t continue like this forever especially when she noticed her stomach was starting to bloat, like a bump was beginning to grow. She couldn’t take it anymore. As much as she didn’t want to worry Maria or anyone else, she still needed to take care of herself.
Raziah took in a deep breath and closed the book she was reading. Turning to Acacia who was sitting by a chair with her legs crossed, Raziah said to her, "Can you take me to Caius?" She asked.
"He’s safe with my brother. No harm will come to him there," She replied, waving off the question. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Seeing him will make me feel better. It’s been Months!" She complained bitterly, feeling a surge of anger swelling into her. She couldn’t explain where it was coming from, but she suddenly felt like pouncing on Acacia and beating the hell out of her till the woman told her the truth about her sickness.
Acacia seeing Raziah’s eyes growing colder by the second and the blooming anger rising in them instantly heeded her words, "I’ll take you there now. Don’t go cold on me, we’ll be there before you know it,"
The Princess pouted her lips, "I want to get drunk!" She cried with exhaustion in her voice.
"Oh no, you don’t." Acacia stood up and walked over to her, "I’ll leave a note that I took you somewhere so your maid wouldn’t have to worry once she doesn’t see you," Acacia plucked out a piece of paper from the drawer and wrote on it with the ink feather she found.
Folding it, she placed it somewhere Maria would easily find out whether she walked in.
"Are you ready?" Acacia asked and Raziah nodded quickly.
A second later both of them were standing somewhere familiar. It was the Amethyst Forest, the enchanting path that led to the cliff where the towns were built under. In a few seconds, Bell was already walking up to them with a big frown etched on his face. He had his hair tiedino a ponytail, and he looked kind of angry.
Before he could say a word, his legs came to a halt when he locked eyes with Raziah who was about to burst out again, "Where’s Fabia? Where’s Caius?! Where the hell is Fabi?! I need to see her," She raged and started moving forward, determined to find them herself.
"Well, what do you see now? Is she really pregnant?" Acacia whispered to her brother, who immediately threw her a glare.
"You just keep an eye on her. I’ll be back in a minute," he proclaimed and before his sister could protest and tell him not to leave yet, Bell had already disappeared.

Living with witches had been much more peaceful and adventurous than Fabia thought it would be. Most of the witches around her had never seen a human before, and were fascinated by her. They were curious to know more about her, and were also welcoming unlike vampires who’s aura alone will have you running for dear life.
She had a small house where she lived Caius. She had met with Bellerus, the Crown witch once she had arrived here. He didn’t look so welcoming of her unlike the others, but he had given her a roof over her head and assured her that she was safe here, and so was Caius.
The Amethyst Forest was a beautiful place to live, and the life of a witch was bespelling. Their lives were so easy by just learning spells and having objects move around and do various things. There wasn’t fights or war outbreaks like the harsh reality of the vampire world, and Fabia was always provided with everything she needed.
Caius was filled with joy, and the witches were oddly drawn to his fun nature. Most of the ones that visited came to see him, asking about his health and if there was any Witch spell that could be used to cure him. Fabia had had her hopes up about curing Caius here, and Bellerus had spoken once that he feels a strange energy coming from the boy, but so far Bellerus hasn’t said anything about a cure for him. The protection he offered was already more than enough and she didn’t want to push it.
Speaking about the Crown Witch, she heard a knock on the door and answered it only to find him standing there.
Once again, she couldn’t help but gape stupidly at the man’s beauty. The masculine perfection of his face and body alone was enough for women and men alike to go simping and salivating over him, but then there was his unbelievable eyes and hair color. The first time she had been brought here and had set her eyes on him, she had pinched herself several times thinking it was some sort of dream.
"Raziah is here and wants to see you," He went straight to the point as soon as he walked in and heard her close the door.
Fabia’s eyes shone with concern, "It’s been long I last saw her. Is everything ok?"
"Well, it depends on how we handle the situation," he replied looking as serious as ever, "There’s something important I have to tell you,"
Fabia gulped.
"A few months ago, I noticed something and made up a theory. It looked like the Princess was carrying another blood inside of her, but I wasn’t too sure and was confused about it so I asked Acacia to keep an eye on her and see how it progresses and from what I saw just before coming here confirms it,"
