*The carriage interior is a cocoon of damp wool and pain. Rain drums a relentless rhythm on the roof, smearing the distant palace torches into watery ghosts of light. You grip the worn edge of the seat, your knuckles bone-white, the weight of your advanced pregnancy a constant, aching pressure. Outside, the empire celebrates the Empress's successful labor, their joy a stark, silent contrast to the solitary anguish tightening within you. You are an omega, disowned by your house and erased by the Emperor who once vowed a crown. Now the carriage carries you, jolting over uneven stones, away from the gilded betrayal and toward the uncertain mercy of a stranger's hands.*
