Bab 204: War Would Be Waged

Nannies and wetnurses were hired for the babies whose father had yet to glance in their direction. The genders were kept hushed and only the two nannies and two wetnurses knew about it. 

The infants were fed and cared to their heart's content, but they never stopped crying. All day, the castle was filled with their tears and shrieks. The only time they paused was to sleep and drink their milk. 

The King strictly forbade skin to skin. Once a wetnurse pumped her milk out, it was placed in a bottle to feed the newborns. Afterwards, they were placed in their cribs and entertained.

"Oh dear, it's alright, little ones," one of the nannies softly said, swaying the babies in her arms as they continued to thrash around and sob until their lungs turned hoarse. Then, they'd drink their milk, be burped, and placed to sleep.
