It is my headcanon that after the Lady of Autumn had come back after her time spent with Helion, Beron had locked her away. Not right away, though, as he reminded her that she was his wife, with an unusually kind family meal, where not onle Beron, but their six sons had also attended, followed by an evening alone.

But after, the Lady of Autumn found herself locked away in an unused corridor of the Forest House. Eris had ensured that she was well taken care of and fed three meals a day, but this would be her only company.

The solitary time, with only the company of the servant bringing her meals, was fine with her when she learned she was with child, too far along for it to be Berons.

The Lady of Autumn had planned to have the child sent off and grow up with Helion in the court that was their birthright, as their father would one day be its High Lord.

The Lady had it planned with the servant that after birth, the servant would wait until everyone was asleep and then bring the child out into the night, ready to go to their new home.

Everything was ready until the day before Autumn's dear lady went into labour, as her third son had come to check on her, seeing she was pregnant.

Thrilled, her son insisted they go and inform his father of the news.

Beron was less than thrilled but refused to deny a child of his. He ordered the servants to prepare a birthing room for his wife.

During the birth, it gave her a reason for the tears. Helions child, a son! He would not get to grow up where he belonged. He would not get to know his father, and worse, he would not grow up to know a father's love at all, as not one of her sons did.

Already, the dear Lady could see traces on her son, Helions son, of his father's features on his face. He had his father's nose, the shape of his father's lips. He was a tad darker than her other sons.

But none of these features were too noticeable unless you were looking for them, as she saw her own features as well, more prominently, in the red hair and the eyes. The shape of his little ears, where the tip was just ever so slightly curved. Features all of her sons had.

The Lady of Autumn loved all of her sons equally, as every mother should. But she knew, as she cradled her new son to her chest, she would have to care for her little Lucien just that little bit more, should Beron or his brothers learn of his identity.

I'm so sorry Helion, My Love. I wanted to send him to you. And now you both must suffer from my secret.

This is my headcanon. Yes, yes, it is. It started out with LoA sending Lucien to Helion after his birth, but, well, this happened.

I hope you enjoyed!
