Loriel was blissfully unaware of everything that was happening and it was only three days later that he found himself interrupted by Zaff the royal physician out of all people. He was working in his study when the man came in.
"Your Majesty, if I may intrude right now… where is Her Majesty?" Zaff spent days in the library and had just returned with the potions and vitamins he promised to give Elise to keep her pregnancy healthier.
"She probably went to Myreen to visit her father and grandmother, what of it?" Loriel read a paper idly and didn't even look up.
"But her medicine, Your Majesty!" Zaff exclaimed. "The queen should not be traveling right now either because it will strain her body while she is carrying her child."
"Huh?" Loriel thought he misheard the royal physician and looked at the man. "What did you say, Zaff? Can you repeat what you have just said to me?"
It's too little too late, Loriel. :(
