I scooted back some, rolling away on the stool. I watched them both, closely. My head snapped to Miranda when she broke the silence first.

"I knew it." She breathed breathlessly. "I knew when everyone was alive that this is what was sacrificed."

"You mean there is a zero percent chance that she will ever be able to carry our child?" Brent asked me.

"That is correct." I spoke softly.

"Why? How is that possible? How can she just take that away from her?" He seemed angry.

"It's because I burnt myself up from the inside, right?" Miranda asked me, then looking down almost as if she was ashamed that she allowed herself to give into the power.

I nodded my head. "That is exactly what happened. You melted from the inside out basically."

Tears began to spill from her eyes. "I am so sorry. So, so very sorry Brent." She turned to him.

I watched as he took her into his arms. "If you have any more questions or just need someone to talk to, I am here for you both." I stood up and excused myself, giving them the privacy they deserved.

When I shut the door behind me, Everest was waiting with his arms crossed. "How'd it go?"

"Better than I thought it would. Come, let's give them some privacy. If they need us, they'll reach out and let us know." I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug. "I love you."

He placed a soft kiss at the top of my head. "I love you, too."

Miranda POV

I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes. I was warned not to give into my powers but I completely disobeyed and did so anyway. I weeped in his arms as they tightened around me. My head laid against his chest.

"I am so sorry. I robbed you of your chance to have children." I apologized to him.

"Maybe this is fate's way to curse my family for all of the horrible things they have done in the past. Remember if roles were reversed, I would have done the exact same thing you would have done. I would have risked the entirety of my line to keep the Northern and Southern Kingdoms safe. All of these people deserve to live in peace. For now, they have that peace. Thanks to you and your sacrifices." His hand tilted my chin up to look at him. "We will live a happy life. You, me, and Cassie."

I sniffled and nodded my head a little. "Yeah? You don't hate me?"
