' You must be the next emperor, my baby ' said a beautiful woman that looks so familiar while smiling brightly and gently caring for her baby in her belly.

Suddenly the surrounding becomes dark and there's only a shadow of that beautiful woman from earlier and a young man standing before her. They were facing each other in that darkness.

' I'm sorry mother... This is for your own good too, you're the one who said I must become the next emperor' said that young man and slowly comes closer to that woman.

That woman shocked and slowly backward from that boy.

' Did Elle feels sick? do you want to sleep with me? ' said the second son, Elle's twin little brother, Crystopher Eirel.

' What's wrong with her, Martha? ' ask the grand duke and duchess together.

' Mom.. dad... I got a hint of my future...for the first time.'

Grand duke Harrison and grand duchess Aria just stare at each other and then nod as a signal.
