Khillea wants to get Pregnant?

Khillea was shocked.

"What are you going to do with me?" Briseis asked nervously, her voice trembling with uncertainty. Despite the kind words Khillea had spoken earlier, there was still an unsettled feeling in her chest. Why had she been brought here, if not to be part of the prize? Khillea had won the battle—what did she need with Briseis, a slave?

In truth, Briseis regretted following. Yet at the same time, she couldn't help but feel some strange relief. The woman standing before her didn't exude the savage brutality that her mind had conjured. Khillea, though infamous, wasn't the beast she had feared. Still, confusion reigned over her thoughts.
