“What’s wrong? Is she okay?” Queen Sofia asked and Diana turned with a smile
“Congratulations queen mother,The king’s lady is pregnant” Diana said and Queen Sofia’s eyes widened
“She’s pregnant?! You mean she’s carrying my grandchild right now?” Queen Sofia gushed excitedly
“Yes queen mother” Diana smiled
Queen Sofia immediately moved closer to Adelaide who was still sleeping
“I’m so happy” She muttered and took Adelaide’s hand,she kissed her back hand
“I will take my leave now queen mother” Diana bowed and walked out of the suite
Queen Sofia kept staring at Adelaide with love and affection in her eyes
“I can’t wait to see my grandchild,finally” She said,and removed some hair strands from Adelaide’s face.
She kept watching as she sleep until Adelaide opened her eyes slowly,she was feeling weak again
“Mother?” She called,looking surprised
“Adelaide” Queen Sofia smiled and Adelaide tried getting up
“Careful careful” Queen Sofia immediately said and Adelaide creased her brows
“I’m fine,I’m just a bit weak but trust me you don’t have to worry about me” Adelaide smiled and tried getting up again
“You need to take alot of rest okay?” Queen Sofia said
“Yeah I should,but I’m hungry” Adelaide muttered
“Of course,the maids will get you something to eat” Queen Sofia immediately said and called the maids

Adelaide only watch in confusion as queen Sofia told them what to bring for her
“Yes queen mother” They bowed before leaving
Queen Sofia turned to Adelaide with a smile
“Thank you so much Adelaide,you finally made my dream come true” She said
“Dream?” Adelaide asked and the queen nodded
“You’re pregnant” She said and Adelaide’s eyes grew wider
“I’m….pregnant?” She asked again and queen Sofia nodded
Adelaide gasped and almost shed a tear
“I’m really pregnant?”
Queen Sofia nodded again and pulled Adelaide into a hug
“You’re pregnant with my grandchild” She muttered
Adelaide smiled cutely
They broke the hug
“I should tell Lucian” Adelaide said
“Yes sure you should,but eat first okay? You need to eat a lot” Queen Sofia said

Eleanor was on her way to Adelaide’s suite when she saw Lisa,she immediately smiled and almost walked to her but she stopped when she saw Suzy beside her. They seems to be quite close with the way they are talking and smiling brightly
“Is she not the so called lady Suzy?” Eleanor muttered
Soon,Lisa and Suzy past her but Lisa didn’t spare her a glance,she was so engross in her discussion with Suzy
“She saw me right?” Eleanor turned again,staring at them until they were out of sight
“They look close” Eleanor said and ignored it
She continue walking and soon got to Adelaide’s suite.
She entered and met Adelaide staring at herself in the mirror
“You look beautiful Adelaide,you don’t need to check yourself out every second” Eleanor roll her eyes and Adelaide chuckled
Eleanor sat down and Adelaide faced her
“What do you think? Do I look different?” She asked and turned around
“Yeah,you look more beautiful” Eleanor replied
“No,not that. You don’t notice anything?” Adelaide asked and Eleanor thought for a while
“No,what happened?” She asked and Adelaide rolled her eyes
“You need to change your eyes Eleanor” She scoffed and Eleanor chuckled
“Seriously? Did you just said that? Wow,since when did you start insulting people?” She asked
Adelaide ignored her and continue smiling
“Well,you look happy. Mind sharing?” Eleanor asked
“You failed the test,I would have told you the reason behind my happiness. So you will have to wait till I tell someone first” Adelaide smiled
“Okay,I don’t mind waiting” Eleanor said
“I saw Lisa and that lady called Suzy,you think they are friends?” Eleanor asked and Adelaide frowned before facing her
“You saw them together?” She asked
“Yeah,they were talking and even smiling. I think they are close” Eleanor replied
Adelaide was quiet for a second
“It’s normal,she was a queen before she left so they must have been friends” She said and managed to smile
“Fake smile” Eleanor chuckled and Adelaide pressed her lips together
Gemma and Mia came in
“My lady,the table is set already” Mia said
“Thank you” Adelaide replied and turned to Eleanor
“Let’s eat together” She smiled
Eleanor stood up and they went to the dinning together.

MATILDA’S SUITE**
“Guys guess what?” One of the maids asked the other two
“What?”
“I mistakenly heard,the king’s lady is pregnant?” She smiled and the other two gasped
“Really? How did you heard that?”
“I heard Lady Adelaide’s maids talking about it,” she replied
“Wow,that’s great news” they gushed
“What’s going on here!” Matilda shouted as she entered and they all kept quiet
“What were you talking about before I came in?” She asked
Nobody talked
“I’m asking a question” Matilda said
“It’s……lady Adelaide”
“What happened to her?” Matilda asked
“I think she’s pregnant” the maid replied
“What?!!” Matilda shouted
“I’m not sure my lady,,I just found out by mistake”
“Get lost!!! You all,get lost!!!” She yelled and the maids ran out
“Pregnant?? How dare she get pregnant!!!” Matilda shouted and pushed off the food the maids served on the table
“Seriously? You think you can have a child in this palace after killing my child?? You just made a mistake Adelaide,a silly mistake” She muttered with a cold and dangerous glare on her face
“I will make sure you loose that pregnancy so you can feel the same pain I passed through,wait and see” She muttered

KING’S OFFICE**
“Your majesty,here’s the report you asked for” Carl dropped it on the table but Lucian didn’t move,he was lost in thought
“Your majesty” Carl called to get his attention but still no response
He suddenly looked up
“Let’s do this another time,I need to go” he said and got up
Carl immediately followed him when he went out of the office
He was walking toward Adelaide’s suite,he couldn’t even sleep well last night,his mind was all over her.
He was still walking when Adelaide also showed up,she was also on her way to the king’s chamber.
“My king” She called and Lucian stopped when she let out a smile,that calmed him down, at least she’s not mad at him anymore.
“Ella” he called
Adelaide immediately ran into his arms and hugged him
Lucian wrapped his arms around her too
“I missed you” he muttered
“Really??” Adelaide asked
“Yes,I couldn’t sleep without you” Lucian replied,hugging her more
“So,you didn’t let her in your room?” Adelaide asked
“I already promised you right? I’m never going to have any other woman aside you,I’m yours all alone” King Lucian said and Adelaide broke the hug
“Me alone” She muttered,staring into his eyes
“You alone,nobody else,just you” Lucian said and Adelaide smiled but then her smile disappeared when she saw Suzy coming
Lucian turned to see what she’s looking at and then he turned to her again
He gently held her face and pulled her closer,
“Don’t look at anyone else,just focus on me alone” He muttered before he slowly pressed his lips on her own right there.
Suzy almost lost her breath as she watched the scene in front of her.
