The maid stuttered, "I'm-I'm sorry I didn't mean that." John glowered at her once more time he seemed unwilling to forgive her.

"I won't harm her, I just am glad for you both.." the maid continued justifying herself and trying to tell John his intentions were good. John didn't trust her, he remembered very clearly when Roselyn mentioned their dispute and the maids daring to talk over her.

He gripped around her neck and lifted her, "I don't trust you. If you or one of the other maids dares to touch her I swear I will make you regret the day you were born and I will torture you for all your immortal pointless existence." John groaned as his eyes turned of a darker red revealing his devilish nature.

Right at that moment, Roselyn opened the door, seeing John threatening the maid's life she jumped and opened her eyes widen, "John? What are you doing?" Roselyn asked shocked at the sight.

John released his grip making the maid almost fall onto the ground as he traveled his gaze to Rose, "I just wanted to make sure she got a point."John walked closer to his wife and wrapped his arm around her shoulders embracing her.

"Hungry?" he asked Roselyn as if nothing happened, Roselyn frowned her forehead even more confused, his tone of voice wasn't concerned at all about the maid as if he has his reasons to treat her that way. Roselyn walked closer to the maid and checked if she was fine, the red mark around her neck faded away as her body healed it.

"Are you alright? What happened?" John asked the maid concerned, the maid slowly lifted her head to look at Roselyn straight in the eyes hesitating whether to tell her the truth or not, then she glanced at John. The maid shook her head "I'm alright." She replied in low voice before walking away.

"What was that?" Roselyn asked John who only shrugged.

"I told you, already. I had to prove my point to her." He replied nonchalantly and Roselyn chuckled nervously.

"By killing her? So that I will have a vision for the first month of pregnancy and our baby will see what you have done?" She spat raising her voice and shaking her head in disdain.

"I'm sorry, I got mad when I heard her congratulation us for our kid and I got concerned she may dare to do bad things to both of u." John sighed as he stretched his hand and took Roselyn's as he hinted a kind sorry smile.

"John now you have to think your attention may affect not only me but our son too so please, before doing anything rushed talk to me," Roselyn said returning the smile. John nodded, he had to reconsider his idea of trying to fight the snakes on his own, even if their presence was risky it would be even worst if something happened to him or if he harmed Roselyn for his instinctive actions.

"I'm sorry, you're right. I overreact when someone dares to threaten you, I end up losing control." John apologized as Roselyn laid her head over his shoulder, walking toward the kitchen together.

Roselyn felt more hungry than usual and she didn't know if that was due to her pregnancy or maybe about her laying down for hours.

When they walked into the kitchen they noticed an unusual particular, maids weren't there, they were all gone, yet John never ordered them to leave.

John's heart skipped a beat thinking they could be plottering against John or maybe telling Kratez's inhabitants about the news.

To reassure him all the maids walked in a row inside right after and surrounded the couple.

The maid John attacked before took a deep breath and then cleared her voice making the couple dart their gaze on her.

"I gathered here my friends because we all wanted to clarify some matters." She started, John was clenching his fists as concerns kept occurring to his mind yet he managed to remain calm on the surface.

"We all felt about Roselyn's pregnancy and we want to guarantee you that we won't tell that to anyone." She continued gazing at both Roselyn and John.

"We will never be lucky enough to get the same change but that doesn't mean we can't be happy for you, Rose." Another maid intervened to add, Roselyn smiled genuinely to them, she wasn't expecting to receive such a great response from them.

The maid who took the floor took a step forward, "we will promise you we will protect you and the child against any potential enemy and we do it because we can't wait to meet him. Even to stay close to a child would be such an honor for us." The woman's eyes sparkled in joy, her heartbeat was modulated and John was unable to find any sign she may be lying.

"Will you really do that for me?" John asked gratefully as she smiled.

All the maids nodded and smiled having Roselyn smile even more moved by their gesture. She thought they disliked her after their fight and she wouldn't even take into account they would do such a nice gesture by claiming they would be willing to die only to protect a kid.

"You all know I have trust issues." John's hoarse voice broke the silence and the maid who spoke nodded shyly. She took few seconds to think until she walked toward John in a slow walk.

When she reached him she bowed her end as her hand went to dig in her pocket, she grabbed a red crimson gem and showed it to John. When John saw it he remained astonished and speechless, the maid headed it to John.

"Now you know you can trust me." She replied in a murmur, John smiled.

"I know I can, thank you. I truly appreciate it and will make sure to pay back your efforts.." When John took the gem, it shined.
