A few days without scandals nor attempted murders feel refreshing. But I know it means that a worse challenge is waiting for us.
I've prepared all that I need, and I always keep it nearby. But I know when the harpy is going to strike.
On Lavinia's special day. When the Emperor bestows his gifts and presents her to court.
It seems I won't be able to leave her safe in our room. She'll have to be present.
For the event, Alexander designed special security measures.
Lavinia won't be carried by Kate but by one of the maids from Stoneyard. Another one will be nearby at any moment, and they'll take turns, carrying Lavinia and keeping watch. Kate will be with them in case Lavinia shows some temper.
We warned her that it's dangerous and that the maids will give priority to the baby's safety. Yet, she accepted to be there.
The knights will be arranged in the hall, some of them blending in with the Royal Guard.
