Steal the Child of the Terminally Ill

A woman sees a frightening future in a magic mirror inherited from her parents: she is terminally ill, and her husband’s mistress demands that she leave her child behind. In the present, she and the man she is not yet married to may still be able to avoid that fate. She believes they can part when the old duke dies and that having no children will prevent the future from coming true. But the man, whose coldness reminds her of northern snowfields, refuses to consider divorce and asks her to stay by his side. As they speak of separation, his gaze grows heated, and he draws her into a kiss.
