Part 2: What Are the Secrets of Evelyn Lippert’s Childbirth in The Dragon Queen’s Gambit?

2.1. The Drugging Incident

One would wonder why Cyril Theodore had the heart to throw his child with Evelyn into the pack of wolves. She’s, after all, still his daughter. The answer lies in the secrets of Evelyn’s childbirth.

Ann Reed was never Cyril’s daughter. Cyril and Cecilia’s affair started even before he married Evelyn. On their supposed wedding night, Cyril bribed someone to drug Evelyn’s wine and find a lowly commoner to assault her—he himself is a commoner too, though.

As a result, Cyril’s men found a poor fisherman and drugged him too. At Cyril’s order, they dragged the man into the Queen’s bridal chamber. They didn’t even stop to think whom they were trying to frame.

So, while Evelyn is being assaulted by someone they thought was a fisherman, Cyril and Cecilia were also busy shamelessly having their affair somewhere.

2.2. Ann’s Real Father

Surprise after surprise, The Dragon Queen’s Gambit drama peaks after Evelyn reveals she had long known about the scheme. After she saved her daughter, she also ran some paternity tests—even Evelyn couldn’t believe that a father had the heart to abandon his daughter. It was also because Ann had yet to fully recover. She needs her father’s blood to heal the wounds.

Evelyn believes that the man is just a commoner forced by her wicked husband, so she never pursued the matter and just left him after she got the blood. However, in their most dire moment, he walks in to save them.

After slumbering for years, the Eternal Dragon Aurelius is back to avenge his daughter and soon-to-be-wife.
