Chapter 342: The trials of echoes...

Lyla

Nanny stiffened. "Lyla, don't say a word. We're leaving."

I put a hand on her arm. "Wait." Suddenly curious about Circe's sudden change in tone. I turned back to her. "If Ramsey knew about the babies, it would complicate things."

Circe nodded. "Yeah. That sounds right. He's too selfless and good for this world and us. Like it or not, Lyla… Ramsey's too good for you."

"And you don't like that?" Nanny snapped.

Circe gave a contemplative stare and shook her head. "If he finds out, he'd never let you fight, lead, train or do half the things you're supposed to do. He'd wrap you in a cocoon and call it love."

For a moment, none of us said anything. There was a wistful smile on Circe's face as she stared into the distance. After a while, she turned back to me.

"You're carrying two babies, Lyla." Her eyes shifted to my stomach. "Wow, it's true. You're carrying boys, Lyla. Eldric would have no choice but fall in love with you. You'll be the first woman to bear sons without years of waiting. You will rule our world with them by your side."

"What?" I stared at her, confused. "What are you talking about?"

She reached into her pocket and tossed a small package toward me. "Peppermint mixed with ginger. It helps with morning sickness."

Nanny snatched the package from my hands before I could examine it. "Why are you doing this?" she demanded. "Is this poisoned?"

Circe stood, considering us for a moment before sighing. "I'm doing it because it's my role in your destiny."

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

She looked me in the eye. "There's something you need to do before the twin moon rises."

Nanny's face turned pale. "No. She can't. I forbid it. That is not what I asked you."
