How Did It Happen

The healers congratulated Prince Kaelix and King Reagan, they offered a reassuring smile before quietly exiting the chambers, leaving the royal family to absorb the good news in peace.

Drystan and Sadiki, the ever-vigilant personal guards, stepped forward, both bowing respectfully before offering their own congratulations.

"Congratulations, Your Highness," Drystan said with a rare smile, his usually stoic expression softening for a moment. Sadiki nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with pride for the royal couple.

"Thank you," Kaelix murmured, his voice thick with emotion, though his attention remained fixed on Eirik, lying still on the bed. With a final bow, the guards stepped out of the room, taking their posts outside the doors.

The room fell into a calm silence. Kaelix sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze unwavering as he watched over his husband, his heart full of both joy and worry.
