2 We just got to the ranch today , and I'm supposed to go into labor on the third day . I still have time . I discreetly crushed the jade pendant Wyatt gave me . It contained a wisp of his soul . If I crushed it , he'd know I was in trouble . In my past life , when I went into labor , I was going to send someone to call Wyatt back . When the labor started , flames surrounded me , and that's when I knew I was pregnant with a golden phoenix .
But a phoenix born to a non - Phoenix requires the magical power of the Phoenix Clan to protect it , lest the mother be burned by the golden phoenix egg's flames . But Bethany and the Queen wouldn't let me send for help . They tried to sweet - talk me , saying , " Prince Wyatt is at a crucial moment fighting back the demons . We can't let him get distracted . Just put up a screen and have the eldest take care of you . " . Wyatt's mother was an insignificant concubine .
He had the position he has now thanks to all his accomplishments on the battlefield . If he had to leave the battlefield because of my labor , it wouldn't look good for him . So , I listened to them and didn't send for my husband . That led to me being surrounded by the Queen's maids and midwives . During labor , the Queen had complete control and quietly swapped my egg . This time , I won't let them get their way ! After crushing the jade pendant , I ordered the maid to pack our things .

I wanted to get out of there and back to the manor ASAP . The manor was my territory . I could contact the other Phoenix Clan royals who supported Wyatt . Wyatt could be back by tomorrow . Then there would be no way for the Queen to interfere . Seeing me packing , Bethany panicked . She immediately stopped me . " Why are you rushing off so soon after arriving ? " I pushed her hand away without a word and smiled . " I suddenly remembered that Wyatt's mom is having her vitals checked today .
She's been unwell lately . As her daughter - in - law , I should be there to take care of her , so Wyatt doesn't have to worry about home while he's on the battlefield . " Bethany tried to dissuade me . " It's just a day or two . Queen's here . You're not saying she's more important than the Queen , are you ? " The Queen's here to swap my egg , that's what ! I sneered inwardly , had the maid protect me , ignored Bethany , and headed straight for the carriage .
But at that moment , the Queen's furious voice came from behind . " Why is the Second Princess rushing off ? Does she look down on this old woman ? " I suppressed my anxiety and smiled . " Your Majesty is thinking too much . " く Still , I insisted on leaving . Anyway , everyone in the Phoenix Clan knew that the Queen and the Second Prince were at odds . The Phoenix King turned a blind eye to it because of the Second Prince's military accomplishments .
As the maid helped me into the carriage , Finnick rushed over . He shouted , " Wait , sister - in - law ! There's demonic unrest ahead . It's best not to risk leaving ! " I clenched my fists , my chest heaving with anger . There was no demon unrest in my past life . They were causing chaos in the Phoenix Clan territory to stop me ! Shameless ! " Ah ! " Bethany shrieked , covering her mouth . She pointed a trembling finger at my belly. " Blood … fire … " I followed her gaze and gasped .
I was going into labor ! Maybe I was too emotional , but I was going into labor early . Seeing this , the three of them were overjoyed . The Queen's face immediately softened . She personally came over to help me , wanting to take me back to the villa . But I didn't want to . I finally got a second chance . How could I let my child fall into their hands again ? I wanted to go back . I wanted to wait for Wyatt to come back . " Your Majesty , I don't want to give birth in a strange place .
I want to go back . A few demons are no match for my guards ! " I endured the pain and gestured for the maid and guards to protect me . Bethany and Finnick exchanged glances and signaled to the Queen . L The Queen said sternly , " Don't listen to the Second Princess . She's about to give birth . If anything happens on the way , don't think I'll spare you , and the Great King will punish you ! " 3
