A quiet afternoon in Valeidio was interrupted by the arrival of a messenger from Zephyros.
The royal family had been going about their usual routines when a servant hurried into the throne room with a letter in hand, marked with the seal of Zephyros.
Queen Morgana and King Xavian, seated together, exchanged puzzled glances before Xavian nodded for the servant to approach.
The queen took the letter, her brow furrowed in curiosity as she broke the seal. The moment she began reading, her expression shifted from confusion to surprise, then to pure delight.
"Eirik is pregnant!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement. She clutched the letter to her chest, her eyes shining with tears of joy. "My baby… he's going to be a father."
