"Did you successfully dispose of the child?" Marianne asked as she cut some of the roses from the garden.
"Yes, Milady," answered by the maid.
"No one saw you?"
"Yes, Milady," She answered again.
Marianne nodded and smiled as she turned to her, "Alright. You are dismissed. Your reward is waiting for you in your room."
The maid smiled as she bowed to Marianne, "Thank you, Milady."
"You may now go," She said, and the maid quickly walked away. Marianne's smile faded as she thought, 'I have to make sure no one will know about that child,' Marianne accidentally cut the rose short. She looked at the rose petals and crushed them with her hands.
Lord Beorot adored Marianne so much that even though he knew she was already married to Prince Louie, he continued to pursue her in secret. He would often send her gifts that would surprise her, including a young child.
One day, Marianne received a big, long crate.
