The Loneliest Ballad

“You must bear a child, Celia. what good is a woman who isn’t a mother? What good is an empty womb?” “Especially when it’s a foreign womb, like yours…” It’s not an easy life when you’re watched month after month, when all the blame is placed at your feet for your young husband having no heir. Celia Devon Tralhamir, Crown Princess of Havietten, waits every month with hope mingled with fear. A child will secure her future. But it will also bind her for life to a husband she neither loves or respects, who refuses to see her abilities. Is that what she wants? Is she content to prioritise security over happiness, and be a wordless decorative vessel all her life? Or is she brave enough to try to forge her own path and seize fulfilment on her own terms? Even in a society that cannot recognise individual brilliance in a mere woman. A sequel to the WEBNOVEL book “Earning the Love of a Princess”, this novel follows another woman born into the Royal House of Devon, trying to fight the confines that threaten to stifle her happiness.

Tobin crossed his arms, mouth drooping in a frown. "She told me she was pregnant. That it was still early but she was very confident. And yesterday, she goes and tells me she's just…not. Says she made an innocent mistake. How the hell does a woman get something like that wrong?"

Celia tried not to let the sudden relief show on her face.

There was no longer a rival to her child. Maybe there would be another rival in the future but as far as today went, she could stop worrying for now-

"Celia?" His impatient tone cut into her thoughts. "I asked you a question."

"Well, I don't know." she murmured, keeping her eyes downcast. "Is it possible Lady Briar miscarried?"

"No, that's not what she said. Briar made it sound like she'd never been with child after all. Besides, everyone knows that a miscarriage is caused by committing terrible sins." Tobin grumbled.
