The plan proceeds. Soon, the news about my pregnancy spread across the city. Everyone talks about it, and they even link it to how the King has ridden from the Palace to save his wife and child during the attack at the orphanage.

So funny, but also so useful.

I can't do anything for the time being, so I just listen to the reports and nod at the King's secretary. I sometimes send a message through him for my dear husband, mostly love words.

Three days pass by just like that, and it's almost time to let the rumours turn into reality.

The Church foundation anniversary is in two days. Most likely, Ignis will confirm the gossip tomorrow and declare three days of celebrations. Like that, he won't be able to leave the Palace.

We won't need to attend the rituals, and we won't have offended the Church because of our absence.

As for the rest, everything is calm. Too calm for my tastes.
