The place fell into a stunned silence one had expected that. Ariana stared at the lady who bowed respectfully.
"This is very rare, my Queen, but you don't have to worry. The baby is perfectly fine, and that is what matters most. You just have to take care of yourself avoid stress, go on walks to move your body a little, eat fruits, sleep well and Lady Leah will help schedule everything for you."
Ariana nodded calmly as she stared at her tummy. The lady gently arranged her bag as she continued speaking.
"I will come again, and Lady Leah will inform you next."
Ariana simply nodded, and Leah added politely, "I will take her out, Your Grace."
She said this because she knew Ariana would need to bring her dress back down. To avoid making her feel shy again, she decided to leave. Just as the door closed, Ariana's eyes dropped to her tummy. She reached out to touch it, and to her surprise, there was no burn. That meant the baby had accepted her. Her lips curled up into a smile.
