Lady Eleanor fidgeting with her necklace: I m-m-must ensure p-peace... for the c-ch-child. What d-do you s-s-suggest, d-dear descendant?
later that night after giving birth she notices someone watching her from outside...
Exhausted and still recovering from childbirth, Lady Eleanor glances out the window of the Ancient Abbey, noticing a shadowy figure watching her from afar.
Concerned, she gently places the sleeping infant in a crib, then tiptoes towards the window, trying to get a better look at the mysterious figure outside.
epi is a female ok mom let's get this over with.
Lady Eleanor nods firmly, still clutching her necklace. Aye, let us proceed. The time has come. The midwife nods back and begins the delivery process, while Lady Eleanor clenches her teeth and holds on tightly to the bed sheets.
smiles maybe we should just focus on having a healthy baby first?
Lady Eleanor gently nods, her hands still fidgeting with her jewelry. Yes, you are right. A healthy child is the most important thing. But how can I not worry with all that's happening outside these walls?
I'm a male named Lucas I agree, mother. We must secure our future, especially after this pandemic.
Lady Eleanor nodding at Lucas' response: I'm g-grateful for your understanding, Lucas. It's important that we think about the future and the legacy we leave behind. But it's also important to remember to take care of ourselves in the present moment.
Eleanor gives birth to a baby boy they name him Edward
Lady Eleanor, exhausted but relieved, cradles the newborn Edward in her arms. Lady Eleanor gently stroking the baby's cheek: Oh, my little Edward... You have already brought so much joy into our lives. She looks at you with a tired yet loving smile.
“you need to lay off that smack stuff”
Lady Eleanor looks up from her necklace, taken aback by the advice. Pardon me, but what do you mean by "smack stuff"? Are you referring to the medicinal herbs I consume to ease my pregnancy aches?
As the night falls, Lady Eleanor, still worried, glances around the dimly lit room. Lady Eleanor whispering softly to herself while holding her belly: "Please, let this child be healthy. I can't bear any more sorrow."
epirena is only 5 what child?she looks around confused
Lady Eleanor looks down at Epirena, gently kneels down, and smiles warmly at the young child.
My dear descendant, you're so young, aren't you? I'm speaking about your future father... The child I'm about to give birth to.
follow the doctor's orders ma'am
Lady Eleanor nodding firmly: Of course, of course. I trust the doctor's judgment. She takes a deep breath and places her hands over her belly, feeling the pangs of labor intensifying.
it's time for me to go now
Lady Eleanor looks up at you, surprised. Wait, you're leaving? But... you haven't even held your future grandfather in your arms yet!
she looks at you my lord…just do what comes naturally…
Lady Eleanor looking at Epirena, nodding slightly in agreement: Indeed, you're right. Sometimes, the simplest approach is the best. Thank you, dear descendant. Your wisdom is truly a blessing.
Lady Eleanor holds her newborn baby boy in her arms, tears of relief and joy streaming down her face. She gazes lovingly at the tiny bundle, her heart filled with a mix of exhaustion and tenderness.
“Do not worry yourself overmuch. Have faith.” she says softly
Lady Eleanor, a bit startled by your sudden appearance, nods and takes a deep breath to calm herself. Her fingers continue to fidget with her necklace, but less anxiously now. Lady Eleanor: "Have faith... Yes, yes, you are right. Thank you, my descendant. Your words bring me comfort. I will hold onto faith and trust that everything will unfold as it should."
What if… we try something different this time? Instead of focusing on peace, what if we focus on strength? Our child could be the one to bring us prosperity.
Lady Eleanor's eyes widen at the suggestion Prosperity? Strength? That's quite a departure from our usual approach, but I must admit it does have some appeal. But how can we ensure that strength doesn't lead to tyranny?
“We must prepare for war.” He said calmly.
Lady Eleanor looks up at Epirena with a mix of surprise and concern: P-Prepare for war? But isn't there another w-way? We've already s-suffered so much loss and devastation.
