Queen Zaria was on her eighth month of pregnancy when her life turned upside down.
Cora, the palace stuart's mother passed away. Cora now had to care for her severely demented father. Not trusting anyone else with her father who required a lot of care, she stepped down as the stuart. Although sad to lose someone she had gotten so close to, Queen Zaria understood her reasons and planned on keeping in touch with her.
"Still missing Cora?" King Vincent teased his Queen, who was standing at the balcony enjoying the palace view.
"She knew and understood me," she responded with a sigh.
King Vincent laughed at how his wife had gotten so attached to his people.
"Belinda passed all the tests. You just have to give her a chance," he suggested to his wife who was keeping the new stuart at arm's length.
"I know, but there is something about her I can't quite put my finger on."
