I WON'T CARRY YOUR HEIR, SHE SWORE—UNTIL THE DUKE DISCOVERED THE SECRET SHE HID FOR 5 YEARS

I'm still reeling from this story, honestly. When Caspian showed up at Thessaly's little farm and saw those grey Lockwood eyes staring back at him from a 5-year-old boy's face, I knew we were in for something intense. But what REALLY got me was how he had the audacity to threaten her with taking Thomas away—like she hadn't spent five years raising that child alone after HE disappeared without even asking her name at that masquerade ball. The man was drunk on brandy and heartbreak, used her, and vanished. And now he shows up demanding marriage like she owes him something? 💀 Here's what broke my heart though: Thessaly sitting at her kitchen table writing "I won't carry your heir" on that letter. That OATH. She signed it "Thessaly Wintersbourne" (even though there never was a Mr. Wintersbourne—she invented a dead husband to protect Thomas from being branded a bastard) and you could feel her terror and rage bleeding through every word. She agreed to marry him but swore she'd never give him another child. Never be his "broodmare." But then... the night Thomas got that terrifying fever and started seizing? 😭 Caspian didn't hesitate. He stripped that boy down, held him in cold water, his hands shaking the whole time because his younger brother Gabriel used to have seizures like that. The feared Duke of Ravensmoor, sitting vigil in a nursery at 3am, one hand resting on his son's shoulder. That's when the ice started cracking. What I absolutely LOVED was watching Thessaly transform from that scared woman in patched grey dresses on her failing farm into the Duchess of Ravensmoor in emerald silk and gold embroidery—not because he dressed her up, but because she CHOSE her power. When Lady Tabitha Lockhart showed up threatening to expose that Thomas was born before the marriage, trying to destroy Thessaly's legitimacy? Caspian got on his KNEES in front of everyone at that ball and said he didn't want a broodmare, he wanted HER. The woman he'd fallen catastrophically in love with. And that scene in the library when he told her any "marital intimacy" would require mutual consent ALWAYS—that he'd rather die without heirs than become a man who takes what isn't freely given? The way she finally broke that vow she'd made, not because he forced her, but because she imagined "little people running through these halls because we created them together. From love. Not obligation." 🥹 The epilogue destroyed me in the best way: Thessaly pregnant with their third child, Thomas teaching baby Grace how to arrange toy soldiers, that vegetable garden still thriving as a reminder of where they started. From necessity to choice. From ice to warmth. So here's my question for you: Was Thessaly right to make that oath "I won't carry your heir" even after agreeing to marry him? Or was it cruel to hold that line when Caspian was genuinely trying to change? Did she protect herself or punish him?
