"Your name," the Monarch asked.
"Lise."
Lise's story was rather cliché. She had been a landlord's daughter, owning several dozens of acres. She fell in love with a farmer who worked for her family. Her parents disapproved, so they met in secret, she became pregnant, and her father died from the shock. Her brother inherited the estate and drove her away.
Her farmer husband left their hometown and struggled to make a living. His temper worsened, he drank, became abusive, and even considered selling her. Enraged, she struck her husband with a mallet twice, not knowing if she had killed him, and ran away.
On the road, she experienced labor pains and fainted from the agony, waking to find herself here. A group of orphans living in the Chaotic Burial Mound had rescued her, and she had been living with them ever since.
Lise didn't understand what had happened to her body, only noticing that the baby had stopped moving. Apart from her enlarged belly, she didn't feel much discomfort.
