Chapter 715 I Am Absolutely Delighted

Iris knew about it because Calan had complained to her. He had been furious, arguing that his uncle’s recklessness would ruin both his mother and himself. Iris had advised him to send someone to Rivenshire to reprimand and scare Sebastian in the Emperor’s name, followed by a reassuring letter from Caelan implying that they, too, were feeling the pressure in the palace. The letter would serve as a warning to Sebastian to tread carefully for the sake of the entire Jones family. Caelan had been thrilled with the plan and had held her close, kissing her for a long time.

Beyond them, very few people knew of the incident, and even those who had heard whispers would never dare bring it up to Elira’s face.

But Elowen was different. Backed by her high status and protected by Cassian and her two children, she could say whatever she pleased. No one else had the courage or the standing to look Elira in the eye and

make such a statement.

And Iris knew exactly why Elowen had brought it up.

It was a warning to Elira to back off.

The next moment, Elowen looked over at Iris, as if only just noticing her presence. “Oh, Iris, you’re here too!”

Her expression softened, a genuine smile lighting up her face. “I heard you’re expecting. How are you holding up? Is everything going well with the pregnancy?”

Elira found herself unable to cut in.

Iris met Elowen’s gaze and answered softly, “Thank you for asking, Your Grace. I’m doing very well.”

Elowen smiled warmly. “Among the royal lineage, the late Crown Prince Alaric met an untimely end before he could father any children. Caelan has proven to be the most accomplished of the remaining brothers, and the child you carry will be his firstborn. I imagine Caelan must be thrilled, and Lady Elira

even more so.”

With that, she turned her eyes back to Elira.

There was nothing Elira could say to contradict her; she certainly couldn’t claim she was unhappy about it. Forcing her lips into a smile, she nodded along. “Yes, of course. I am absolutely delighted.”

“Come to think of it, no one in the palace will be happier than His Majesty,” Elowen mused. “The Emperor truly adores children. You saw it yourself, Your Highness, how ecstatic he was when he met my two children with Cassian. I actually paid my respects to His Majesty earlier today when I entered the palace. When I mentioned Iris’s pregnancy, he was absolutely overjoyed-he couldn’t even hide his smile.”

Elira’s smile grew a bit rigid.

Elowen then turned back to Iris, sounding puzzled. “Why are you still sitting here at this hour?”

Iris hesitated, offering no answer.

Elowen chuckled knowingly. “I know this is your first pregnancy, so it’s only natural to be excited. But since

it’s still early, the pregnancy is likely unstable. You shouldn’t be sitting or standing for long stretches; you need proper rest

She turned to Elira again, her tone carrying a hint of playful reproach “Your Highness, you have the most experience when it comes to raising children. Iris is young and doesn’t know any better, so she’s bound to be reckless. As her elder, you really must guide her and look after her carefully. After all, if anything were to happen to this first child, it would break Caclan’s heart- and His Majesty’s as well.”

Elowen knew perfectly well that Elira was deliberately making things difficult for the girl, yet she chose not to expose her directly. Instead, she framed the situation as Iris being young and naive, while simultaneously urging Elira to take good care of her.

Her words were beyond reproach, leaving Elira’s dignity intact while effectively backing trer into a corner. Unable to deny or refuse the responsibility, Elira could only force a smile and agree. “Yes, quite right.”

After a brief conversation, a maid brought out the coffee.

It wasn’t the Rivenshire roast Elowen had mentioned earlier. Elowen glanced at it, noting the slight tension. in Elira’s expression. Not minding the change, Elowen picked up her cup, took a polite sip, and offered her thoughts. “It’s nice, though it doesn’t quite compare to the coffee Iris brews.”

She then turned to Elira, her face filled with genuine envy. “Iris may come from a humble background, but she makes a spectacular cup of coffee. Sometimes I think she is sharper than most men. To be honest, Your Highness, if Caelan hadn’t beat me to it and asked the Emperor for her hand first, I absolutely would have requested His Majesty’s permission to bring Iris to Duskmoor Manor.”

Elira stiffened.
