Chapter 1-" Landmark"
"Suppose we name our child Isabel or Charlotte? " Margret said rubbing her stomach lying beside her husband facing him the bridge of their noise touching
"Any name the Duchess choose is fine by me " Victor chuckles caressing her stomach as well.
"I must go to bed at once my love I have an important meeting with the council and the Pope " Victor said kissing her forehead and putting off the candle on top the table beside their bed.
" Good night father to be " Margret giggles closing her eyes.
Everything goes blank Margret begins to feel a very sharp pain in her stomach she cries out in pain immediately
"Aaaaah "
"What is it? " victor jerks up
"There's blood everywhere "Margret cries
blood spilling out of her and soiling the bed
"Oh no no no No No!" Victor grabs her as he panics
"Guards guards!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yells on top of his lungs.
" Call the doctors now immediately " He yells
" What's going on Victor what's wrong with me

" it's okay It's go to be alright " He hugs Magret comforting Her
" Our baby I think it's gone I can feel it"
Noooooooooooo nooooooo" She shrieks in agony
Two months later
"Melady you have to eat you can't possibly live like this" the scouring maid Anne begs sympathetically to magret .
"WHAT is the point of living when I can't even bore one child?" Margret said coldly tears dropping out of her eyes.
"You can't starve yourself God will give you another " Anne lays her hand on her blonde hair stroking it.
" four miscarriages Anne four and you say God will provide if this is his way of punishing me.." Margret gets up from her bed and letting Anne undress her
" so be it I've got nothing to loose" she said.
" Don't say that melady God did not punish you it's not your fault " Anne assures her stroking her hair
" Who's fault is it then it surely isn't victor's He has shown so much love and this how I repay him?"
" I shall never be loved like before" she walks away from Anne looking through the window
" I mean what if He gets another wife or concubine I don't think I would bear it Anne I don't blame Him if he does it's He's right to have an heir"
" An an heir he shall have look on the bright side Your orphaned nephew arrives soon why not take him as yours?" Anne smiles weakly
" He can never be mine because I did not bore him he did not come from me"
" He's still blood isn't he?"
" He's not mine run me a bath I don't want to talk about this anymore " Margret said
"What is going on in landmark that you are not telling me? " victor questions one of the Priests named Ego
"Nothing victor if God has told me anything I will tell you " Priest Ego said assured.
"This is her fourth miscarriage, Lord Peter died just his wife followed two days after a supposed measles and that is spreading to the villagers and you tell me nothings going on?" Victor scoffs one hand on his chin.
"Patience victor when the Lord speaks to me I will surely tell you but in the mean time we must have a cleansing day on the first noon" Ego proclaims.
" And what will that do?" said Victor
" we should have another alternative by now has The Pope said anything?" He asks
"surly he would let me know look Victor we are God's messengers If there's any thing I hear from God I will tell you and then the villagers"
" I can't wait for people to die or my wife to collapse from depression something must be done" Victor commands
" oh my Lord patience is a virtue " Ego gets up placing his hands on Victors shoulder
" You'll soon realize that"
