I spend the morning after the announcement drinking tea alone in the Queen's garden. I'm supposed to rest and recuperate my energy because... Well, because I'm pregnant, I guess.
No one comes to bother, so I enjoy this silent day.
After lunch, I take a stroll in the Royal Gardens. I shall be seen healthy and happy. It's more something I do because of duty than pleasure... Life as a Queen is so difficult.
The ladies have stopped crowding around me, offering their help with the King. Married women and maidens alike.
How troublesome... I'm sure they haven't given up yet. They're just working on new strategies to pass my stern selection.
I should be thinking hard about other problems, but they're so insistent and urgent. I first need to free Ignis from the embarrassment of ignoring ladies. Then, I can return to planning my gathering of power and strategy for the long period.
