''Is…mom…''
Her aunt shook her head slowly at her—tears welling up in her eyes as she told her the Queen Luna would not be recovering anytime soon from this shock.
''Can I…''
''Of course, love.''
They both entered the room of the Queen Luna, which was crowded with many mourners as her mother sat on the bed sobbing her heart out nonstop.
This act scared Evangeline enough to make her pause in her tracks at the door and decided to observe from there.
''Why…why…why is my womb cursed?''
''No–no, no. Stop saying that Astha! Your womb is not cursed. How many times would we make you understand this?''
Her mother shook her head in disagreement insisting her womb must have been cursed.
''It wouldn't be long enough before I lose all I have left and be left with nothing,'' She cried, causing the people around her to shake their heads and weep along with her as she rocked back and forth on the bed.
