Baby With Red Eyes

When the baby started to open his eyes, Esther was in bed, resting with the newborn prince in her arms. 

Beautiful eyes as red as rubies.

As the one holding him, she was first to notice that his eyes were red, causing her breaths to turn shallow. But she wasn't alone in the room. There was the midwife, the royal physicians and the newly assigned nanny waiting by her side.

Gasps could be heard within the Queen's chamber.

'I should have expected this.'
