Morning of the big day

16th April 1574

With all the dances and fun extending way into the night, I made sure to escape the public eyes with my dear wife as soon as the sun started to set behind the line of the trees in the distance, initially moving back to our tent to rest, but swiftly relocating back to the city.

No matter how fun camping was, there was no way in hell that I would prefer sleeping on a pile of blankets rather than doing the same in a comfortable bed back at the Pilznian palace, especially with how little effort it required to have a better sleep. While if Elia was all right, I might have considered staying longer into the night and playing around with everyone else, thinking about the possible repercussions if she really was bearing my child, I didn't dare to risk her, or our potential kid health just for the sake of a few more hours of fun!
