The minutes dragged on, each second feeling like an eternity. I tried to keep myself occupied with conversation, though my thoughts remain fixated on the chamber door and the hope for good news. My friends and advisors did their best to keep the mood light, but the anticipation was palpable.
Then, the door to the royal bar swung open, and Duchess Lenora entered, her face flushed with the excitement of her announcement. The room fell silent as everyone turned to look at her. Her eyes were bright, and her smile was wide.
"Ciaran," she called out, her voice ringing with joy. "I have wonderful news!"
My heart leaped into my throat. I stood up, my hands trembling slightly as I looked at her, hanging on her every word.
"Gisela has given birth," Duchess Lenora continued, her smile growing even wider. "It is a girl—a beautiful little princess. Both mother and baby are perfectly healthy."
Congratulations Grand Prince and Princess of Sith. A royal baby is born!!!
