Chapter 71.
I pounded over what Lord Raven said for days. It was important I give the king babies. Not just babies, but healthy babies who take after us when they grow up.
I sent for the royal doctor to check if I was pregnant again. She gave me a negative answer and asked if I was taking the herbs.
"Yes, I take it every day."
"Good, you will be back on your feet soon, your highness," She knelt beside my bed. I nodded with a smile as she took out something from her bag.
It was green. A padlock made up of dirty clothing. The lady spoke in a low tone as she offered it to me "this is a talisman, your highness. For your protection, I will…"
"What are you giving me?" I managed to sit up. Did she just mention a talisman, knowing fully well I was a Christian? The king would frown if he found out about this.
