“Your Grace.” At that moment Anson stepped inside from outside.

He had just returned from sending out Elowen’s letter.

“Lieutenant Wrenner has arrived with his wife and daughter,” he reported. “They say they’ve come to offer greetings.”

Zachary understood immediately and rose to his feet. “In that case, since Your Grace has guests arriving, my sister and I will take our leave.”

“All right,” Elowen said with a smile. “I won’t see you out. Travel safely.”

Zachary led Flowira away the same way they had entered.

Around that same time, Lieutenant Wrenner and his family arrived at the manor.

Elara walked behind her parents with her head lowered. Her steps were unsteady, as if her thoughts were somewhere far away.

She had spent the Christmas at the nearby estate. Being so close to Cassian had secretly filled her with joy.

In Tales of Luminara, the author Azure had once written something she treated like sacred truth.

Azure wrote, If you love someone with enough persistence, the clouds will part eventually, and the moon will appear.

But early that morning, news spread from the palace.

Something had happened during the Christmas Eve banquet. First, the Crown Princess had been stripped of her title. Second, the Duchess of Duskmoor was expecting a child.

The news struck Elara like a thunderclap.

With an heir on the way, Elowen’s position at Duskmoor Manor would only become more

secure.

And her own love… Didn’t that mean it had no future at all?

Today was the Christmas day. Elara followed her parents to Duskmoor Manor to offer greetings, her heart cold and hollow.

They were honey-preserved plums, plump and pleasantly sweet with just a hint of tartness.

She couldn’t resist and ate them slowly, one after another.

“Your Grace, congratulations!”

The voice arrived before the man himself. Lieutenant Wrenner strode in with booming laughter.

“I heard the wonderful news that the Duchess is expecting. Our whole family came to offer congratulations!”

Elowen looked puzzled.

How did Lieutenant Wrenner hear about my pregnancy so quickly?

Cassian asked, “You’ve already heard?”

Warren laughed. “I think half of Vanelle already knows.” Cassian’s eyes narrowed slightly. “And who told you?”

The lieutenant scratched his head. “That part I can’t quite remember…”

Rowena proved more reliable. She smiled and explained.

“This morning we went to the church to offer prayers. On the way we ran into Adrian Baker. He mentioned it.”

“Adrian Baker?” Cassian repeated quietly, tapping his finger lightly against the table.

“Yes,” Rowena continued. “The youngest cousin of Her Majesty. I hear he currently serves at the Ministry of Rites.”

Elowen tilted her head and looked at Cassian.

Cassian was already looking at her.

Their expressions were nearly identical, each carrying a trace of something subtle and complicated.

Warren, oblivious, continued cheerfully.

“At first I thought the Duchess must be resting after yesterday’s banquet and suggested we visit later. But my wife insisted that good news should be congratulated as soon as possible, so here

we are.”

Elowen smiled.
