With demonic unrest ahead and the Queen
threatening us from behind, plus the fact that
I was going into labor, the maids and guards
hesitated.
The Queen called the maids, wanting to drag
me into the sycamore treehouse that had
been prepared at the villa.
The guards stepped forward to stop them.
They weren’t sure whether they should leave
L
or not, but they were all veterans who had
retired from the battlefield. They only listened
to me and the Second Prince.
But a flash of blood–red flame appeared on
my belly, becoming even stronger and bigger.
I screamed in pain.
The maids and guards were frightened by my
scream and quickly protected me as I entered
the villa.
The Queen happily muttered behind me,
“Born surrounded by flames, it must be a
phoenix. There just so happens to be a sycamore treehouse at the villa. Let’s go
there to wait for delivery.”
Bethany rolled her eyes, cast a spell to induce
labor, and cried out, pretending to be in pain,
saying that she was about to give birth too.
“What do we do? There’s only one sycamore treehouse at the villa!” Finnick supported her,
pretending to be troubled.
Giving birth to a mixed–breed chicken egg
doesn’t require a sycamore tree! They were
clearly trying to take the opportunity to swap
my child!
I was sweating from the pain. The pain in my
belly was about to make me lose my cool. I
had to order the maids to surround me with
screens to make sure I didn’t come into
contact with Bethany and to keep the Queen
from bringing people in.
With the guards standing guard outside the
screen, I relaxed a little.
I tried my best to use magic to tell my egg to
hold on until his dad came!
But before I could catch my breath, the
Queen shouted sharply outside the screen,
“What’s the meaning of having guards in the
house? Get out now! It’s the same as
guarding outside!”
The guards refused to give in.
Bethany said that she was afraid of having so
many people in the house.
Then, fighting sounds came from outside the
screen.
I bit my lip tightly, a trace of blood flowing
from the corner of my mouth.
r
I sternly asked, “What are you doing to my
guards?!”
The Queen got over the screen and said with
a smile, “Your sister is also giving birth in the
room. How can there be so many stinky men
here?”
Saying that, she changed the subject, “The
Second is not here, and it’s an emergency
situation. In a little while, I’ll have Finnick
protect you and your sister.”
That’s how it was in my past life. The Queen
said that Finnick would protect me from
across the screen. I was in so much pain that
I almost lost my mind. I didn’t think much
about it and agreed to protect the child.
Soon, I was knocked unconscious by their
spell.
When I woke up, I got a mixed–breed chicken
egg.
But when I gave birth, there were clearly
flames all around me. That’s a sign of a
phoenix being born. How could it be a mixed-
breed chicken egg?
The Queen said that I was hallucinating and
couldn’t accept that I had given birth to an
inauspicious child, and that I was mentally
disturbed.
The Phoenix King was furious and threw me
into the dungeon.
Thinking about the past, if Finnick protected
me, I would have no choice but to let them do
<
what they wanted!
“Not even across the screen! I don’t want to
come into contact with any other men. I’ve
already notified my husband to come back. I
want to wait for him!”
The room fell silent for a moment, with only
my painful moans.
The Queen immediately scolded me, “Why are
you being so difficult? Why are you still caring
about these things at this critical moment? It
would be a sin if you didn’t give birth to a
child!”
Finnick said from across the screen, “Sister-
in–law, I can’t see you either. Just let me
protect you.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the corner
of the eldest prince’s robe cross the screen,
about to step into the room.
I was terrified and wanted to grab the maid’s
hand.
But flames were spreading around me,
separating me from everyone else.
The Queen told the irrelevant people to leave.
The maid had already seen what was going
on and refused to leave.
“Get out of here, you dead girl!” The Queen
had my maids dragged out and beaten.
Finnick came in with someone over the
screen.
That person was holding a box. Clearly,
Bethany had already given birth to the mixed-
breed chicken egg and was just waiting to
swap my egg!
Seeing the two of them getting closer and
closer to me, even though I was being roasted
by flames all over my body, I felt cold all over
and was becoming more and more desperate.
Was I going to fall into these people’s hands
again even after being reborn?
