It was just another day in Camlann. Velvet was fixing breakfast and was about done when she suddenly felt sick and held a hand over her mouth and stomach just as Simon got down the stairs, seeing his wife's expression and instantly got worried.

"Are you alright?" Simon asked worried as he came into the kitchen.

"I'm okay, Simon." Velvet answered while turning to face him. "I just felt a little nausea."

"Maybe you should stay home and rest." Simon told her.

"No, I'll do that after helping the others with the farming for Rolance." The former Lord of Calamity replied. "I promised to help and can't take it back now."

"Ok, I'll have a normin watch over you so nothing happens." Simon said with a small smile as he kissed her on the forehead.

"I'll be fine, Simon." Velvet assured him. "It'll go over in a while, don't worry about it."

After they ate, Velvet left the house and Simon was looking at her worried as she had said herself that she doesn't get sick at all as she's both a therion and a seraph in one body. That's why her expression worried him, Simon knew something was wrong if she had started getting sick all of a sudden as it had been years since the wound on her arm was healed.

An hour later, Velvet was done with taking out the herbs for medicine from the other plants in the big garden. They were going to Rolance so that the village could raise money to buy much more things to seed and use. The Nephilim wiped away the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand in relief before taking the basket of herbs as she stood up, glancing at the children playing nearby before walking to the cart to place it with the other things going to Rolance.

"I see you working hard." An old woman said nearby as Velvet placed the basket in the cart.

"I just want something to do which means I want to help as much as possible." Selene explained with a smile as she turned to face the woman. "Thank you for the compliment, Setsuna!"

"Don't overwork yourself now, you're still young." The old woman, Setsuna, pointed out gently. Velvet suddenly felt the sick feeling again but stronger now and had to lean against the cart, holding her stomach again and took a deep breath to calm her body down. "Are you feeling alright, Selene?"

"Yeah, it's nothing." Velvet answered. "I'll be home if there's anything I can help with."

Meanwhile, Simon was walking out with Muse out of Michael's house to check on him. The retired Shepherd had fallen asleep on his desk again to finish his book in time to publish it, causing him to work even at night. The two childhood friends were having a small conversation until Simon saw Selene and called her over. Velvet smiled before walking over to her husband and friend but her vision was getting blurred and her legs started to give up as she prepared herself to hit the ground. Muse gasped and Simon screamed her fake name before everything went black.

"Selene, can you hear me?!" Simon called out to his unconscious wife as he took her in his arms. "Muse, get the doctor."

"Of course, I'll bring her to your house as fast as possible." Muse said before running off in another direction.

After what seemed like an hour, Velvet opened her eyes to meet the sight of the roof of the front door porch. Glancing slightly to the side, she saw Simon looking at her with a gentle smile before Velvet realized where she was. The ex-Lord of Calamity was lying on the bench swing on the porch as it slowly rocked back and forth while having her head on Simon's lap.
