[ In all honesty, maybe he’s just a little scared that she could be right. ]
[It's a correction that she has to make because she doesn't want to
be called the Empress.]
And I'm not playing a long game. Why would I when I'm pregnant with
your child? When I've spent time with you in your study. Been in
places no one else has been in. Lark doesn't even hunt me down.
[ Evie is far too personal, too intimate but Aric relents and he'll meet her half-way for once. ]
Evangeline.
[ She can take the truce on the matter or not. ]
How could you be pregnant with my child? [ He frowns at the idea of her being in his study, he didn't really allow anyone in his study. It was full of all the things that were most important to him after all. He narrows his eyes. ]
There's no proof for any of this but what you say.
Why would either of us ever allow a child to be conceived in the middle of the game? That is ludicrous even if the other things you have said are true.

[It still hurt and she's not too entirely sure how to show him she wasn't that woman that he remembered.]
I'm not my past lives. If I was you'd of never allowed me into your bed.
