Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Fake Miscarriage
"Seraphina... Seraphina, listen to my explanation, it’s not what you think..." Titus Ashworth looked at Seraphina Linden ingratiatingly.
Seraphina Linden glanced at Titus Ashworth with her charming eyes, "Titus, we’re not familiar, so who are you calling Seraphina?"
"I..." Titus was a bit embarrassed.
More than twenty years ago, Seraphina Linden, the esteemed Princess of Alani, stormed into Westria and the City of Aethelgard, gaining a huge following of admirers and zealous fans. Titus Ashworth was among them, always swearing Seraphina was his goddess, yet unattainable.
Seeing Titus Ashworth treating Seraphina Linden with such obsession as if she were a priceless gem, Consort Willow’s face turned grim. Over the years, she had used charm and fragrance to captivate Titus’s affection, but the moment Seraphina showed up, Titus seemed to forget her instantly.
Consort Willow’s eyes flashed with deep jealousy at Seraphina Linden’s enchanting beauty. Their Alani kingdom held an unresolved enmity with The Merfolk Clan. Years ago, Alani’s ancestors flattened The Merfolk, condemning them to live in darkness and dampness, devoid of light, while their Alani kingdom mysteriously vanished. The captivating allure of Seraphina and Serena, the mother-daughter duo, set them strikingly apart from The Merfolk. How could one not be envious?
Consort Willow stepped forward immediately, "Queen of Alani, this is the daughter you raised? Your daughter used miscarriage potion to kill Consort Melinda’s twins, a heart so vicious. How should this be handled?"
Everyone echoed in agreement,
Queen of Alani, we were all present when the Princess of Alani poisoned Consort Melinda’s twins, and you must account for it.
Seraphina Linden’s charming eyes landed on Consort Melinda and glanced lightly before raising an eyebrow and looking at Titus Ashworth beside her, "Titus, are you sure the twins in Consort Melinda’s womb are yours?"
Titus was shocked, "Seraphina, what do you mean?"
"Oh, it’s nothing significant. I was merely observing your visage. Over the years, you’ve indulged in feminine charms, so much so that your body has been hollowed out by such pleasures. Do you rely on medications for strength whenever you seek enjoyment? Alas, with your physique and condition, I doubt you could impregnate a woman with twins." As she spoke, Seraphina Linden shook her head, expressing great pity.
What?
Seraphina Linden’s words were astonishingly bold and left those in power and esteem staring at Titus Ashworth with changed gazes.
It was known that Titus Ashworth had a very full harem and favored beautiful women, but it was unknown that he had reached the... medication... stage.
As for what specific medication, everyone speculated it must be... related to health and vitality enhancements.
Being exposed by his goddess about taking medication, Titus Ashworth was utterly stunned, "Seraphina, I..."
Consort Willow’s complexion was so dark it was almost dripping, and she spoke immediately, "Queen of Alani, please watch your words. How can you criticize our lord’s private life?"
Seraphina Linden pointed with her eyes at Consort Willow, "Titus, is this the favorite consort of yours who barks? That medicine was probably given by her to allure you, and she nearly hollowed out your body."
Everyone’s eyes "swished" toward Consort Willow, gossiping,
Oh my, Consort Willow actually gives the lord medicine!
For years, Consort Willow had enjoyed much favor. It’s said when the lord stayed overnight at her place, soothing melodies echoed from there.
This Consort Willow... she’s not young anymore, yet she fancies herself a young girl!
That being said, Princess Melody truly takes after her mother, with an open nature.
This mother-daughter duo, along with Prince Creed, all hail from The Exotic Lands, renowned for their seductive arts, ensnaring men. They’re truly disdained by people, so let’s stay away from them in the future.
Listening to the gossip and seeing the colored glances, Consort Willow nearly twisted her face with rage. She never expected Seraphina Linden to unveil the truth of her favored situation so explosively from the outset.
People love gossip; in this crowded and talkative place, the story of her giving Titus medication would soon be all over town.
Not long ago, her daughter, Melody Ashworth, was involved in a scandal, and though the racy video had been suppressed, she still wasn’t spared from being metaphorically flogged.
"Queen of Alani, you!" Consort Willow wanted to speak.
But there’s a steely glint in Seraphina Linden’s charming eyes as she looked loftily at Consort Willow, "Consort Willow, right now I’m having a conversation with your lord. What right do you have to interrupt? Stand back!"
Consort Willow was stumped, nearly choking on her own blood, almost spitting it out. Indeed, with the Westria lord talking to the Alani Queen, no mere consort has the right to butt in.
Titus Ashworth’s face was grim. Regardless of his doubts, he never doubted Seraphina Linden’s medical skills. When she said that medicine hollowed out his body, cold sweat began to build.
Titus cast a harsh glare at Consort Willow, indicating they’d have a serious talk about that medication later!
Meanwhile, Consort Melinda was anxiously desperate, realizing Seraphina Linden, the Queen of Alani’s arrival, completely overwhelmed Consort Willow. Consort Willow was left raving mad.
Now Melinda was sidelined, ignored; she felt the blood in her veins drying up.
"Oh no, my lord, my stomach hurts... please save me." Consort Melinda quickly spoke, pulling Titus and everyone’s attention back to her.
Only then did Titus remember Consort Melinda’s issue, and he immediately said seriously, "Seraphina, let’s set these matters aside for now. Let’s discuss the twin issue in Consort Melinda’s womb. At present, all evidence points to your daughter..."
Before Titus could finish speaking, Seraphina Linden swiftly covered her nose, "What a pungent smell; can’t you all smell it?"
What’s that smell?
Everyone sniffed hard, and there was indeed a sharp smell, "What is this smell? It resembles... chicken blood."
"Exactly, it smells like chicken blood, and it seems to be emanating from... Consort Melinda."
"Impossible, Consort Melinda is a human. How could a miscarriage smell like chicken blood?"
Everyone turned to Consort Melinda with suspicion.
Consort Melinda’s heart tightened; earlier, she hid a blood bag in her clothes and discreetly popped it. This blood bag was handed to her by the maid, Carol, and she hadn’t inquired what kind of blood it was.
Could it be the blood bag contained chicken blood?
Now Consort Melinda was panicking.
At that moment, Seraphina Linden curved her red lips, "Titus, your harem is indeed amusing. A miscarriage-prone consort smells of chicken blood, and the key point is, we’ve been standing here speaking for almost half an hour. A woman allegedly pregnant for six months miscarried yet can lie there so calmly. I dare say, is Consort Melinda faking a miscarriage?"
