章 157: Teatime With The Queen

"The doctor will arrive tomorrow right before breakfast, Your Highness. Make sure you are ready for his visit," the Queen said, taking a small sip from her porcelain teacup. "Do you feel different from how you were before? Any signs of discomfort, headaches, slight fever, maybe?"

Melania offered the Queen an awkward smile, her hand slightly trembling as she picked up her own cup. This morning, right after breakfast, the princess received a sudden invitation from her mother-in-law to have some morning tea with her in her quarters. 

At first, the young woman thought that Fleaur wanted to discuss her recently spiked social activity since she started venturing out of the Royal Palace more frequently. However, as soon as she took a seat beside her, it became clear that the Queen only had one topic she wanted to discuss: whether or not Melania was pregnant.
