Chapter 29: Chapter 29

"Your majesty Marianna...I cannot break my promise with her...I cannot deceive my wife." At one end where Layla felt sorrow at another she felt Helios was dependable and prove to be a good candidate for her sister. Even in the face of his King he did not lost.

"Do you love that child Marianna?" The question surprised Helios and Layla similarly. Why did it sound like Icarus was really bitter and wanted to kill Helios?

Helios chuckled and replied after contemplating for sometime.

"What if I love her or not? She knows that my manor has only one female and that is her but refuses to become my wife. Last time to have her with me I had to even open that shameless and abhorrent position of a concubine because that was the only way she agreed.

Even if I love her she doesn't feels the same. If it wasn't the dead kid needing a revival she would not have agreed ever to marry."

The more Layla listened the better she felt, so what if the Everdale falls her sister would have a supportive husband at the end. Wasn't it better than having no one.

"The child that Empress Layla gave birth to..." Icarus clutched the throne tightly as if speaking those words took so much of his efforts.

"...that child had no soul from the beginning. Even if you resurrect it, it would have a formed body but he would still be dead." Layla was stumped and even the last hope of reviving Arvaram back was lost to her.

Would her child as Ilaria never have a happy ending without pain?
