Betrayal! Outrage!
I'll kill him - I'll kill him!
Another man's baby - another - she - I can't -
She agreed to marry me easily enough. But after ... after. She told me she'd been - intimate - with another man, that she knew, had known she was carrying his - his seed!
I could kill her for this - I should kill her for this.
No.
She might have his seed - but she won't be allowed to keep it.
I'll not raise a - a human in our midst, a reminder of her disloyalty.
For now, I'll pretend. I'll pretend that I still care for her. When the baby is born ...
My offspring may not be conceived of love, when I'm done with her body, but they will be mine.
