The castle is abuzz with activity. All the ladies are busy finding gifts they can present to Queen Ivy during the Candy Crown Celebration.
As a physical fae, Lady Nuala has decided to catch a wild critter for the animal-loving monarch.
The fields around their castle are teeming with interesting little creatures.
The studious Lady Sparrow thinks a book of some kind might appeal to the Queen.
She plans to head into town in search of a special volume. She hasn't decided between a novel or a guide of some sort.
Lady Nessie knows Queen Ivy will appreciate a unique seed. Her contacts in town have already set something aside.
And finally, there's Lady Morrigan, who has spent all day running circles around what to give the monarch.
In the end, it seems a potion will be the most ideal gift. But first, she needs to research some alchemy.
Amid the lively activities of the court, Queen Ivy has stayed quiet.
She senses a change within her. There is no mistake. She is pregnant.
She's not ready to share this with the others yet. But soon. Soon she will.
