Kapitel 404: Am I Barren?

Months passed by and the newlyweds continued to enjoy their happy married life along with their official responsibilities as royalty. While the Crown Prince continued to perform his duties in the royal court, Esther was learning about administration from Queen Theodora as part of her education as the next queen.

Palace life had been relatively peaceful for Esther for the first couple of months, though whenever there would be public events or social gatherings, others tended to ask about when Prince Theron and Esther would produce their first heir. It was not a big deal at first, but gossip had a way of exaggerating even the smallest situations, not to mention a sensitive subject regarding the royal bloodline.
