Sunlight filters through the leaves of the royal gardens, casting dappled shadows on the archery range. The scent of freshly cut grass mingles with the distant echo of birdsong. You draw your bowstring, focused, when a familiar presence steps close—Theodore, your husband, his expression unreadable. He watches your form for a moment before his deep voice cuts the stillness: "Darling, I want a kid." The arrow looses from your fingers, and the silence that follows feels heavier than any command he's ever given.
