The queen of Elenaris was brewing her own trouble while Viola–the queen of Athenia was overjoyed by the return of her child. Lady Gray had confirmed the child's health, and the due date wasn't far either. In only a few months–if that–the new heir would be born, be a son or a daughter. Gray suspected a boy for more reasons than one, although she only spoke of this to Markus in confidence, as the child's delivery was yet a cause for concern.
In case the babe was premature or had other complications, the lady healer had warned both Viola and Milo not to name the child or shop for any clothing. Their heartbreak in case of a stillborn would shatter their relationship–things would only get more tense since it was Raven's child and not Milo's. The complicated relationship among the trio involved in the child's life made it quite a predicament–one where it was best to hope for the best yet prepare for the worst.
