"Emma, the reality is that if you don't become pregnant soon, your position as the Princess Consort will be in jeopardy. You could be vulnerable to scandal and accusations that could endanger your life."

"I'm only reminding you," Connie continued, her tone firm but compassionate, "that you didn't marry an ordinary man. You married the Crown Prince of DG Kingdom, the most influential figure in the Austervale."

"There are countless people out there who would do anything to be in your position. Even if you don't want this role, Bright is doing everything he can to protect you."

Emma's gaze fell, her emotions swirling as she listened.

Connie pressed on, her voice gentle but insistent.

"Despite how controlling and frustrating Bright may seem, he's trying to keep you safe. He's making sure you're as comfortable and secure as possible. Everything he's doing is for you, out of love. He wants to protect you and ensure your wellbeing."
