I am not surprised that he still hates me but for some reason I just can't stop crying- Blake

She continues to cry.

Maids also start to cry seeing her cry.

Mistress would you like to eat something? Maid#3

Blake suddenly feels a weird sensation on her belly.

What is this ? Blake

Maids touch her belly.

The sensation comes back.

What is going on?Call Hina- Blake

It's nothing to worry about mistress - Maid#3

It's just that your babies are kicking in the womb mistress- Maid#1

Oh, I have seen some videos about these but I didn't know that this is how it feels - Blake

Are you sweeties trying to say that I shouldn't cry? Blake to her babies

Blake touches her belly.

Blake feels the babies kick.

Feeling the kicks makes Blake happy.

Sorry sweeties mom was only thinking about herself- Blake

Mom will not cry anymore- Blake

I should tell Henry about this - Blake

I think he will get angry, I will tell him later- Blake

I am feeling hungry can you guys bring something? Blake

Sure Mistress- Maids

Maids bring food for Blake.

What is on today's menu? Blake

It's sweet french toast but don't worry mistress It's a healthier modified one- Maid#2

Maids feed her.

Mistress would you like to sleep now? Maids

Maids elevate her head and shoulders with pillows to help prevent acid reflux.

Blake falls asleep.

After a few minutes.

Rose enters the room.

Yes- Maid#3

Humans really care about others, In my demon world we had an award ceremony every 100 years too but the award was that those who conquered most of the world get to eat and absorb those who have conquered less than them- Blake

I don't know what to say- Maid#3

Dear you know why daddy hates momma right? Blake

Yes momma I heard it on your interview and some maids were also saying that when you and Hero were enemies you killed many of his family members - Gloria

Blake nods

I know and understand how he feels momma , I have also lost my family but I also know that you are different now- Gloria .

Really? Blake.

Gloria hugs Blake.

Yep now you take care of others without expecting anything in return, You always try to do your best for him, You even adopted me and take care of me, You take care of my siblings (babies in the womb) and there are so many other good things about you momma- Gloria

So I don't think that arrogant Hero should treat you like this momma- Gloria

Blake pats Gloria.

Henry isn't arrogant dear, He is a very good guy, I am not even worthy to be competed by him, In my whole life I have only ruined others life and he saves millions every day- Blake

I guess but momma If he hated you so much he shouldn't have married you- Gloria

But he married you, so he should take care of my momma like the queen she is - Gloria

He is my husband dear but it's not like we married because we were in love, But I fell in love with him- Blake

I don't really hate the way he treats me because I know I don't deserve his love- Blake

After all he even lost his parents because of me- Blake

I don't know if I can or If I even deserve to but I just want to give him and his family the love that I stole from them- Blake

Gloria gives another bite of the cake to Blake.

Momma no matter what I will always love you , You are most important to me - Gloria

Dear can I request you something then? Blake

Yes momma- Gloria

I want you to treat your dad with love because you are his child too, No matter how your dad treats me , Don't let it affect your relationship with him,if he is treating you like his princess then I think you should also treat him in a good way- Gloria

Sorry I can't - Gloria

Why? Blake

Sorry momma but I am not going to treat him with love until he starts treating you in a good way - Gloria

I hate him, I mean I am grateful that he saved me and my country but I hate him- Gloria

Blake pats Gloria

Gloria I am his wife and you are his daughter we both have an important but different role in his life,He has his reasons to hate me but he really loves you, So I think you should be nice to your dad just like how nice you are to me and give him your love just like how you give it to your momma- Blake

And most importantly I don't want you to hate your daddy or anybody else because of me - Blake

Gloria says nothing.

After a few seconds.

If that's what you want momma then alright I will try to treat him with love - Gloria

Blake kisses Gloria on the forehead and hugs her.

Thank you dear, I am very proud of you - Blake

And I am proud of you momma- Gloria

Both of them smile.

They continue to eat and watch the cartoon.

Did you enjoy it dear? Blake

Yes momma both the Oreo cake and Oreo cookies and creams were tasty - Gloria

I am glad - Blake

Did you enjoy it momma? Gloria

Yep I enjoyed it - Blake

Gloria I am feeling a little tired so I am going in the room- Blake

Ok momma- Gloria

Gloria continues to watch the TV.

Inform me when the cake gets ready for decoration - Blake

Sure Mrs Blake - Chef

Blake goes to her room.

She starts looking at some online products review.

I should send him a voice message, I don't know how he will react but he is their dad- Blake

Blake sends a voice message to Henry saying today they kicked .

What am I doing? Blake

Blake deletes the message.

I will tell him in person- Blake

Yep that will be best , I don't want to ruin his mood by sending this- Blake

Emma enters the room.

I want to talk to you alone- Emma

Ok- Blake

Blake signals the maids to leave the room.

Maids leave the room.

I don't think something is right, I am scared for our mistress- Maid#3

Yeah you are right - Maid#1

I tried calling Master,Miss Rose , Miss Annie ,Miss Ashe but no one is picking up - Maid#10

They must be busy there - Maid#1

I will contact Miss Diana , Only she can control Miss Emma now - Maid#6

Maids nod.

What do you want to talk about? Did the ceremony ended? Blake

No But I had something important to tell you so I left in the middle of it - Emma.

Oh, What is it? Blake

Today is your last day I am here to take revenge on you for the death of my parents by the hand of your demon commander- Emma

But I didn't tell my commander to kill your parents - Emma

I know but it doesn't matter, If Henry will not kill you then I will kill you - Emma

I understand I will not stop you from killing me but please let me give birth to his babies and after that you can kill me- Blake

Henry doesn't want them and you will be dead after giving them birth, So what's the point of you giving them birth - Emma

Emma touches Blake's hand.

It burns Blake's hand.

Ahhhhh- Blake

Blake falls down on her knees.

Her scream echoed through the empty gigayacht.

Please don't do it- Blake

Demon you can brainwash others but not me- Emma

Momma- Gloria

Gloria enters the room.

Don't hurt my momma- Gloria

Go away kid, This demon is nobody's momma it's just an evil thing that needs to be slain - Emma

No she is my momma- Gloria

I don't care- Emma

Just as Emma was about to touch Blake again with her hand.

What are you doing Emma?Diana

Diana using her elastic power covers Blake and pushes Emma back.

Go away Diana this doesn't concern you- Emma

I am not going to let my best friend murder someone - Diana
