Queen Valeria hurried to grandmother's room. The old woman sent for her. It was still early in the morning. Maybe she was about to die, who knows? Her last words were very important.
She knocked on the door twice before it opened. Her face turned dulled when it met with grandmother's. She was fine.
Nothing has happened to the old woman. She was not about to die.
"Good morning, granny" She entered the room. "I was expecting to see..."
"Another person? Or my corpse?" The old woman closed the door behind her.
Queen Valeria smiled. She wished it was the corpse but it seemed the gods have other plans. She walked to a chair and sat down with her big bump "what now, granny? Why did you send for me so early? Don't you know that I have to sleep so that the Emperor's son will be born healthy?"
