-Third Person POV-

As Navier was walking in the Palace hallway a noble lady ran over to her yelling "Your Majesty, I've got some terrible news! It's about Viscount Landre! He stabbed Rashta with a knife!" Navier turned to her shocked 'Viscount Landre...Is the man who recently fell head over heels in love with Duchess Tuania...He must have done this because ' Navier thought "It seems the Viscount also thought that Lady Rashta was the one who started the rumor about Duchess Tuania." Navier said turning to the noble lady as the woman continued to talk.

"Everything started out fine. I'm told Rashta was the one who let the Viscount in. Then Duke Egri said he smelled blood and stormed in after kicking the door down, and stopped the Viscount at the scene of the crime. Viscount Landre was arrested right away. When they caught him, he struggled and yelled out that Rashta was the one who started the rumor and had Viscount Lotteshu spread it around the village." The woman said as Navier sighed rubbing her head as she worried for Angelica since she knew that Angelica and Viscount Landre were friends and she saw him as an older brother.

-Third Person POV-

"How is Rashta doing?" Sovieshu asked as the doctor checked her out while she groaned soon he looked down at her 'He said earlier that her life isn't in danger. So why does he look so concerned...?' Sovieshu thought and turned around walking over to Duke Ergi as he bowed to Sovieshu "Your Majesty." Duke Ergi said as Sovieshu patted him on the shoulder "Good job saving Rashta." Sovieshu said as Duke Egri smiled at him "I just happened to be in the right place at the right time." Duke Egri said as Sovieshu started to walk towards the door while Duke Ergi looked at his back 'Does he really not care that another man came to visit his lover so late in the evening? Also, he said "Good job." instead of "Thanks" Does he not care for her or is it because he's still in shock...?' Duke Ergi thought.

"I knew it!" The Doctor exclaimed as both Duke Ergi and Sovieshu turned to him and Sovieshu walked over to the Doctor as he was pressing on Rashta's stomach "Should you be pressing the area near her wound like that?" Sovieshu asked as the Doctor stood up and bowed to him "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lady Rashta is with child!" The Doctor said as Sovieshu's eyes widened and his fists clenched together 'She's...Pregnant...Angelica!...' He thought and quickly left the room surprising the doctor and Duke Ergi.

'I thought he would be happy, but he seemed angry...I wonder why...?' Duke Ergi thought as he watched Sovieshu leave the room and looked back at Rashta as the Doctor bowed to him and left.
