Book 15: Chapter 96
Irina curled up on the ground. She was in so much pain that she could barely breathe. Her body gently trembled, as she didn’t have enough strength to be convulsing. Her breathing almost came to a halt. Her scales on her were particularly clear. If it wasn’t for the blood still spilling down, you would be able to see all of the blood on her.
Her belly throbbed. The pain felt similar to scrunching up her nerves one by one and then ripping them apart. Dragons were wild beasts; when wild beasts live out in the wild, they wouldn’t fuss over such a minor wound. Therefore, kicking Irina’s gut would usually be of no significance, but for some reason, the pain was practically enough to make her pass out.
Irina panicked in her mind: “No way. No way. I can’t have a miscarriage… No way… I’ve only just gotten pregnant. My dragon egg has yet to take form. It’s just a collection of mana at the moment. Mana can’t be destroyed by something physical, so there shouldn’t be any reason to fear a miscarriage.
Why, though, does it hurt so much? Why? Why does it hurt so much? What exactly happened? It’s not just my belly that hurts, but my heart, as well. I have to watch on as my husband is violated before my eyes, not to mention that I’m pregnant with his child. I’m his wife, yet I can’t do anything when my husband is being violated. My husband is in so much despair and suffering, yet I can’t do anything. As his wife, this makes me feel as though my heart is being shattered to pieces.’
Mom is still inside. She has no idea what happened. It takes time for Mom to make a drug. Unfortunately, Queen Sylvanas won’t be able to get up without it. In other words, there won’t be anybody who can come to our rescue.”
“Tr-… Tr… Troy… Troy… my husband…”
Irina powerlessly extended her hand out in Troy’s direction. All that she could now see through her blurry vision were her tears, a lifeless gaze and her husband reaching out to her. He wasn’t a complete dragon. He was just an ordinary elf. The strength he possessed wasn’t worth mentioning, yet he rushed out in front of a horde of dragons for her sake.
“It’s all because I’m useless. It’s all because I’m useless. It’s all because I’m useless. It’s all because I’m useless. I couldn’t even protect the man I love. I can’t even protect my child and husband. What can I do? I’m… so useless. What can I stand alone as Mom can…? I truly don’t have the right to be a mother.” Irina loathed herself.
“Your time is up, isn’t it? I’m next. Far out, I have to wait again every time,” said a dragon.
