Prologue: A Destiny Shattered
"This can't be."
The physician muttered in stunned disbelief.
"What has happened?"
A soldier standing nearby asked.
"Her Highness the Princess's internal organs have suffered severe damage. In this condition... she will likely... as a woman..."
The physician could not finish his sentence.
One after another, the other physicians completed their examinations and exchanged grim, heavy looks among themselves.
In the end, there was only one conclusion.
The cruel verdict was that the princess would never be able to bear a child again.
"Infertile...?"
The soldiers of the Liberia Empire were seized by terror and despair.
The princess was a symbolic figure of the Liberia Empire, and she occupied a vital place in the succession of the royal bloodline.
But now that opportunity had vanished completely.
The news reached the camp of our empire as well.
Amid the murmuring voices, some broke into cheers.
"The enemy nation is finished!"
"With the imperial bloodline's succession cut off, the Liberia Empire will plunge into political chaos."
Yet Adolf Kareha, the very man who had done this to the princess, uttered not a single word.
He merely paced back and forth before the field hospital where the princess lay, his face locked in an expression of pure shock.
In the novel he remembered from his past life, Aisia had been destined to give birth to the Hero.
That child was the key that would save the world.
But the news of her infertility now meant that the Hero would never be born.
Realizing that the future foretold in the novel had been torn up by the roots, he trembled with extreme fear and despair.
"How could this be..."
He let out a low sigh.
"I... have ruined history."
