The days after my assignation with Calista seemed to blur together even as my body began to swell. I blindly tended to my work, writing letters, keeping records, even venturing to the palace at one point to place the privy seal on a document or two. None of it mattered. I felt soulless, as though in giving my body to this baby, I had lost the things that had defined me: my ruthlessness, my ambition, my passion. Even worse, I so wanted these things back that I lost control and harmed another human being.
On the seventh day of this, I sent word to my mother at the Belfours estate: I was packing my things and coming to spend the summer with her. I felt sure that with her guidance and wisdom, I would soon be back to my old self.
