"You know you can't outsmart me dear. I've lived long enough to know your hiding something from me." King Heziah

"I'm not hiding anything to you my king. its just that, ...I don't feel well... I have been looking for something and yet I don't know what it is I'm looking for." Mumtaz

" I have been to Nimweh's chambers and she told me you keep on starring at the palace gardens and yet you don't go there ... Is something bothering you ?" King Heziah

"Ughhh... dear, would you just stop listening to our eldest daughter? She's just worrying for nothing .." Mumtaz

"Let's just go to the dining hall, supper is ready." king Heziah

"Well then , lead the way my King" Mumtaz

They walked hand in hand together towards the hall, when they arrived there three children stood up to greet them.
On the chair next to the Queen's table is Nimweh , there first born at 18 was about the age to be married. On the second chair next to Nimweh is Hajah at the age of 14 , and on the third was Jahanar at the age of 9. All of this three princesses were beautiful in there own ways ... they all had there mother's quality and there father's witts ...
When desert came, the queen was fascinated with the fruit served to them. The king smilled.
" that is a fruit from King Oddin's garden its called Karah, it is hard to chew but when you've done chewing them, they start to produce that sweet honey flavor on yoir mouth." King Heziah

"Prince Javar gave it to me as a present mother ... I hope you like it .." Nimweh

The queen happily took a spoon full of the fruit and munch it. She stopped eating and stood up from her chair ... suddenly here vision became blurry and she fell to the floor unconsciously.
the king immediately ran towards the end of the table where his wife was lying. Nimweh was there holding her mother in her arms .

"What happened? Hajah, go call for the physician. Now! " King Heziah

"Father? " Nimweh.
She was looking at her father waiting for a chance to see he's reaction. The king was worried but he did not let his daughter see it. He smiled at her and carried the queen towards there chamber .
When they arrived, Gandal, the physician, was there with Jahanar and Hajah . They all entered the room and the physician examined the queen ... when he was done he was.smiling..

" it seems that you are about to have another offspring my King. the queen is pregnant" Gandal

With much delight the king hugged his three daughters and they all smiled. The next day the king gave off a feast for the gift he have received from the gods. He was blessed with another one, he hopefully wished it would be a boy. The queen knew then what she had been looking for, the fruit named Karah was the cure to her longing ... Until then the queen won't eat not unless there is Karah for desert ... It lasted for months ... until they knew the baby was coming when the queens water bag exploded... It was a hard labor , Gandal even had 5 assistants to help him deliver the queens baby. King Heziah wished for a boy, he hoped to have a boy in the family so that he could play swords with him when he grow up... The king was in the middle of daydreaming when he finally heard a baby cry from the room ...

" Its a girl my King " Gandal
The king was a bit disappointed when he knew it was another girl ... because he knew then that it would be close again to the queen and not be able to have someone to play swords with him or better yet have a duel with him ... Nevertheless he was happy he had another beautiful baby in his castle, at least it wouldn't feel so lonely once Nimweh would marry Prince Javar and live to king Oddin's palace. He entered the room with great delight on himself when he saw that the baby girl had his blue purple eyes...
