Hearing this was a shock to her including to Elvis who suddenly clenched his fist. If this would be what she had to do to escape this castle forever and be with Oswald, why wouldn't she? But could she truly bear him a child? She needed to save both Isaac and Oswald. Time wasn't on her side at all.
Asides from that, she wasn't sure she could stoop so low to have anything intimate with this man. She could not bear to see herself lying in his bed. She shook her head at the thought of it. "My Lord, it is very urgent. If anything happens to him it would be for my sake and I would never forgive myself."
His lordship nodded, feigning as if he could understand what she was going through. "It satisfies me seeing you this way. It is either you remain in the castle as my mistress until I get tired of you or you bear me a child and then you gain liberty. You pick one out of the two."
