Future excerpt????

An idea I had while musing on the next chapter.

Here you go!
———————————————————————————

I'm smaller and faster than the duke and I rush, running as hard as I can towards Navier. briefly the sunny day is replaced by a storm and I hear the faint wail of a baby.

This will be different.

Finally I burst into the garden where Kapmen had sensed her. Taking only a moment to breathe- too long already move move move move - I rush forth, leaping over a bush.

"Navier!" I cry as I approach. She turns and opens her mouth probably to ask what I want but I interrupt her.

By straight up tackling the empress.

I hear Laura yelling something as we land, my hand cupping Navier's head so she doesn't smash it open. Probably cursing me but my focus is on a stunned Navier staring up at me, eyes wide and mouth gaping. She's about to speak when the arrow finally lands where her head was originally - what feels like an eternity but was actually a few seconds. A man yells and I maneuver myself so I shield Navier as Kapmen arrives and throws something at an attacker that finally revealed himself. It was a pathetically short battle, mage vs non mage.

"Rashta!" Sovieshu calls and I barely contain my grimace as I help Navier up. She brushes some grass off her dress as her husband approaches

"Your majesty, are you alright?" I ask softly, out of fear of accidentally hurting her when I tackled her. It was out of nowhere and rather aggressively.

She looks at me, expression indescribable as she nods.

"I am unharmed... Thank you, Rashta." she hesitates for a second before giving me a small smile. I smile back, my face not giving away how internally I'm screaming about how cute it was.

When She Smiles, indeed... 

"Rashta!" I'm spun around to face a worried Sovieshu.

"Are you alright?!" Plastering a fake smile, I nod.
———————————————————————————

"Your Majesty, Lady Rashta is pregnant!" Somehow through the grace of the fact they weren't looking at me, no one notices my shocked face or the emotions from my internal yelling appearing on it.

I AM GOING TO WRING THAT MAN'S NECK. I DO NOT CARE IF HES IMPORTANT WHERE HE'S FROM.

Dun dun dun!
