1009 What If Something Is Wrong With Me?
The queen and king of Ashland were loved by their people, but after years of being led by the couple and there were no signs of them producing an heir, slowly some noblemen in the capital were concerned about the future of the kingdom.
They started talking about the throne's successor. Heirs were very important for the sustainability of power.
If the monarchs didn't have their own children to be the rightful heirs, then it was likely for the powerful lords around them to fight for power after the king and queen died. Th£ origination of thïš c0ntent can b€ traced t0 n0ve1b¡n★
It's true, Raphael and Rowena didn't need to worry about their deaths. They were immortals who could lead Ashland for hundreds or even thousands of years if they wished to. However, they didn't want humans to know they were immortals.
It would create confusion. Humans might even worship them and Raphael knew it would greatly offend the gods in Cretea who were used to receiving human devotion and worship.
He had suspected that his parents turned a blind eye to the fact that he stole an immortality potion for Rowena, but he knew they wouldn't tolerate this if other gods came to them and complained.
So, Raphael thought he and Rowena needed to leave Ashland after a while and not let the people know their secret.
"There must be something wrong with our queen if she still couldn't bear a child to become the heir to the throne."
"I feel so sorry for her. Look, she is so beautiful beyond compare. Even after so many years, she still looks so young and attractive, unlike other women her age, but unfortunately, she is barren."
"Yeah.. that's why people said the universe is fair. Nobody is made so perfect that they could have everything. Our queen is too perfect if she is allowed to have everything. Beauty, a doting husband, wealth and power."
"Her husband, the king is so great, by the way. He sticks by her side even though Queen Rowena is not able to give him children. Other men wouldn't be so noble,"
"Yeah, you can see how much he loves her."
"Gosh... Queen Rowena is so lucky!"
Conversations such as the above became more and more common among the people and noblemen. Some of them sympathized with Rowena's and Raphael's situation, and some were concerned or even blamed Rowena for not being able to produce an heir.
