The Mother's Arrival

The next day...

After the previous day, it did not take long for the news about Gloria and Minos' pregnancy to spread among soldiers, vassals, and even allies of Minos.

The revelation of such a thing had happened in a public place, where those most injured in the previous operation were passing or receiving medical attention. Because of this, the people present on that occasion soon spread the news to their closest family members and colleagues.

As there were allies and Minos' vassals among those people, the news also reached the more prominent families of the Black Plain and Stone Island. Because of this, even though many of the local leaders were exhausted from yesterday's attacks, they had rushed to Dry City with gifts for the future heir to the Black Plain.

Gloria had not even married the King yet, but since no one knew if or when his wives would get pregnant, everyone already considered the coming baby of Minos and Archbishop Frost, the local heir.
