"Uh… wait, both of you," Finn finally said, swallowing hard as his gaze flickered between them. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"You're an imposter!!!"
Consort Sasha's voice exploded through the room, sharp and accusing, sending a wave of shock crashing down Finn's spine.
"The king would never favor another consort like this if you were truly special," she continued, her lips curling in disdain. "If you had really been intimate with him, you would have conceived already. It's been two months! Why aren't you pregnant yet, huh?"
She took a step closer, her eyes narrowing.
"You're just like us… unable to carry the dragon's child. To be honest, I wonder how you think you'll succeed when we beasts....far stronger than you have all failed. You? A skinny, ordinary human? Not even special, yet you dare to believe you can carry his heir?" She let out a mocking laugh. "What a joke!"
Finn's throat tightened, his heartbeat hammering violently in his chest.
