"Let's go to Lady Evelyn's courtyard. Esther, you should come along too," Luciana said.
Dora and Esther followed, carrying the snacks and beverages. Dominic also followed them, trying to keep a 10-meter distance like the princess consort had instructed.

Lady Evelyn's courtyard,
"Greetings to the princess consort," the maids chorused when they saw Luciana.
"Rise, rise," Luciana said in a bored manner.
"Where's your mistress? Won't she come out and greet me?" Luciana asked.
"My lady is suffering from severe morning sickness and is resting in her inner chambers. I'll tell her of your arrival right away," Ellen said and ran into the room to call Lady Evelyn.
About 10 minutes later, Lady Evelyn sluggishly came out looking like she was on the verge of dying.
