Tve done more than enough, Fermin thought to himself.
Seeing Pamela sobbing uncontrollably, Fermin sighed and gently drew her into his embrace. “Pamela,” he said softly, “I am a prince. Without a son, how could I possibly succeed to the throne?”
Fermin looked at Pamela and said coldly, “Even if I take a secondary wife, it won’t threaten your standing. They’ll merely be vessels for providing
me with heirs.”
“Get away from me.” Pamela cried out, shattered by his words, as she shoved Fermin away.
Fermin was perched precariously on the edge of the bed, completely unprepared for Pamela’s sudden shove
Off–balance, Fermin crashed to the floor. Fermin’s head struck the sharp corner of the table, and blood instantly gushed from the wound.
To Pamela’s shock, her accidental push had injured Fermin.

The moment Pamela appeared, the Queen roared, “Bow before me this instant.”
Pamela bowed deeply, her face ashen and her eyes lifeless, as if she had long since grown accustomed to such humiliation.
For all these years, the Queen had repeatedly used Pamela’s infertility and failure to produce a male heir as an excuse to torment her.
In the past, out of consideration for Fermin, Pamela always swallowed her grievances in silence,
Pamela dared not defy her–she was both the Queen and her mother–in–law.
Pamela had always believed Fermin knew she was being wronged and would stand up for her.
But now, Pamela finally understood–Fermin had never truly defended her. Even when he knew the Queen was tormenting her, he never lifted a finger to stop ir
Standing rigidly for hours or copying the bible as punishment–these daily humiliations had become routine for her.
Enough is enough, Pamela thought. No longer would she suffer in silence.
