"She looks fine to me, queen Valeria" The Emperor kissed his daughter's cheeks. She was doing perfectly well from the look of things. She did not cry in his arms. "Why did you send for me if nothing has happened?"
Queen Valeria swallowed hard. It was all grandmother's idea. She told her to inform the Emperor that Heather was sick and needed his attention. Now he was here and it seemed he understood the game "She was crying since morning. The wet nurse told me that she was not eating. That's why I sent for you, your highness."
"So you have the medicine woman check on her?" The Emperor asked. Heather was smiling at him. He wondered if queen Valeria was not using her to get his attention. But she won't dare that.
