being innocent zero's wife includes...
he kind of saved your life from the bureau, which is why the two of you got married. he wanted your body in return for saving you, so you got married to him, was annointed husband and wife, and never knew peace ever again.
not in the way that innocent zero was a bad husband, but he wasn't good either. other than when he's getting you pregnant, he doesn't really treat you like you exist.
to him, you're just another pawn in his plans.
but that is far from meaning he'll let people do whatever they want with you. what's his is his and will stay as such, no one else gets to have you. if there's someone mistreating you, he'll get rid of them, only because he's possessive af like that.
generally speaking, your first son, doom, was a good kid. he was well-mannered, though he had a strong capacity for magic. and honestly, you prevented your husband from training doom until the boy was eight, saying he should have a proper childhood at least.
doom is equally protective of you, not allowing your husband to let his anger out on you for not obeying him and being a good son. you've taken care of him for years, and he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he let you get hurt for something small.
famin is a bit more unhinged, but he still shows some form of care for you. he plays pranks on you with his invisibility magic, but it's usually him popping out of nowhere with a small bouquet of flowers he got from the forest.
i like to think famin was one of the clingier ones when he was a kid, just to be a brat to your husband. he has a heavy favoritism over you than his father and it SHOWS
doom makes it a little hard to tell, but you're his favorite too. he would die before he forgets the love and care you've given him.
now a little fun fact about epidem is that you turned into a major sweet tooth during your pregnancy with him, with your most common craving being pudding. it'd explain his obsession with it, but i don't think any parent would have expected things to go that far.
you've tried getting him to eat something else, but he only eats begrudgingly knowing his father is going to punish you because he doesn't have a good diet.
he's seen you get beat to the moon and back because of him, he won't let it happen again.
delisaster is probably the most clingiest and brattiest kid in the whole family.
he'll cause chaos everywhere he can, even when you try to control the damage, he gets things messed up pretty bad.
you actually got into the most trouble with innocent zero because of him, but he didn't care until doom forced him to watch you get punished for his wrongdoings.
he was, reasonably, terrified because his father just beat up his mother into a bloody pulp without hesitation, and he began to see why you were so stressed about him having good manners. not only could he be punished, but you were going to be hurt the most.
it's not enough to have him completely obedient, but he'll better his manners for you only.
he essentially becomes a mama's boy, listening to your naggings without complaining, doing a complete 180 in terms of personality when it comes to you in front of his subordinates.
after what he saw all those years ago, he would never find it in himself to disrespect you.
domina was mostly raised by innocent zero because you fell ill after giving birth. you weren't there to shield him from the damage, and would beg doom to protect domina as much as he could without endangering himself.
and obviously, domina grows up hating you because he thought you didn't like him, when that was the furthest thing from the truth.
he probably won't learn until innocent zero is defeated, you're finally free from the horrible marriage you've experienced, and you're free to live as you please.
there were no charges given to you after hearing what your sons and husband had to say.
the most contribution you had was literally birthing seven sons, and you even went as far as protecting them from the man himself, which didn't earn you many punishments to give.
at that point, domina willingly visits you and finally takes a good look at how ragged you are.
you're worse off than everyone in the family, having gone through too much stress and illnesses and injuries that your body couldn't heal itself like it was supposed to.
he visits every weekend now, sometimes bringing his friends along so you have happier memories to keep you company when he's not there with you.
helps you find hobbies to spend your free time with and will get you a bunch of novels and books so you're not left alone with your thoughts.
mash, despite being taken from you so early, had taken a part of your heart with him, and you were nearly inconsolable after he disappeared. you were hoping you could protect him more than you did domina, only for your husband to be crueler than before.
when he hears that he has a mother, he was rather shocked. and scared, honestly.
he's lived with regro his whole life, and only sixteen years in he learns he had a mom this whole time?
he doesn't blame you for not looking for him because he had a feeling you did a lot.
the first time mash and regro visit you, you were crying for most of the time, apologizing over and over for not being able to raise him properly and unable to protect him from his own father.
regro insists that it was okay. mash was a wonderful kid to raise, and you did nothing wrong. the only one to be blamed for all of it was innocent zero, and with him gone, you were free to spend as much time as you wanted with mash.
regro was content with letting you raise mash, knowing that you were nothing close to innocent zero the moment you started bawling at the mere sight of your son.
the old man could tell not being able to raise mash hurt you a lot, and seeing him as a grown boy only rubbed salt into your wound.
so the next time he came along, he got you a photo album of mash's baby pictures, so you could see the whole process of his growth. you thanked him so many times, regro wondered when you were going to run out of tears.
mash, after having spent some time with you, gets pretty attached to you.
perhaps it's knowing the fact he's your real son or the fact you treated him like glass, but a month after mash started visiting you every other day, he started sitting on your hospital bed then placing his head on your lap, letting you play with his hair, and so on.
after you start feeling better, you start asking the divine visionaries if you could see your sons and husband, which they deny heavily at first.
and shockingly, the first one to cave is actually ryoh.
as a married man with a kid, he had a feeling you cared a lot for not just your sons, but for innocent zero too.
he has no idea what you saw in him, but perhaps that was what kept you from running away from him for so long.
and turns out, a few months after sitting in a prison cell was enough for your husband to realize he cared about you a lot.
after most of your kids were grown, he started to soften around you a lot without even knowing. he'd look at the injury you had for a month and got worried, knowing that he was keeping your body in perfect condition the whole time, but your immune system stopped working.
thus, he was severely overprotective of you but covered it under the guise of not wanting you to cause more trouble for him later.
he carried you around a lot, kept you on his lap whenever he was sitting on his throne, never brought you to the battlefield, and did his overall best to take care of you in a roundabout way as to thank you for giving him his children.
he's visibly shocked when you show up at his cell, thinking he was hallucinating at first.
he doesn't recall feeling so relieved to see someone, but here you were.
he's grabbing your hand, making sure you're recovering okay, his eyes are scanning every inch of your body, and everything to make sure you weren't being mistreated. he might as well let the world burn if you weren't being treated well.
when you tell him how happy you were that you got to spend more time with mash and domina, cyril doesn't know what to say.
he knows he's the reason for all the pain you've gone through, and he didn't deserve to even see you so happy, but a part of him was happy you were still thinking about him.
maybe the two of you meant something to each other but never got the time or chance to talk about how you felt towards each other.
he hopes, that in in another life, he would have a chance to treat you well.
