“Surely the Duchess isn’t claiming she secretly arranged for one of His Grace’s attendants to share his bed, and that woman is already expecting?”

Elowen did not even glance at her.

She met Theodric’s gaze calmly and spoke each word with absolute clarity.

“Your Majesty, I am carrying His Grace’s child.”

The words exploded through the hall like a thunderclap.

Alaric reacted the most violently. His head snapped up, his eyes locking onto Elowen’s still-flat abdomen.

Shock flooded his face.

She’s… pregnant?

Pregnant with Cassian’s child?

Which means…

They’ve already shared a bed.

The mere thought of that closeness, skin against skin, made the world spin around him. Pain twisted through his chest. He had

Daphne cried out in shock, forgetting her composure entirely.

If Daphne were punished, that was one thing. But if the matter implicated Alaric as well, the consequences could be disastrous.

Daphne, completely unaware of the storm about to descend upon her, stared fixedly at Elowen.

Elowen very cooperatively allowed a trace of unease to appear on her face.

Watching her, Daphne became even more certain.

Elowen, you’re finished.

Moments later, an elderly physician with white-streaked hair hurried into the hall carrying a medicine case.

He had barely stepped inside when Daphne impatiently pointed toward Elowen.

“Corwin. Good, you’re here. Go examine the Duchess of Duskmoor immediately. Be thorough.”
