Back in Ironside, inside the palace study, Quinus was surrounded by his two retainers, Percy and Sir George. As well as Archmage Hajdah, and Baron Zellin Coldforge. He was looking at a ring box with a beautiful diamond ring.
"I hope they like her," Quinus said as he was looking at a beautiful ring. He ordered it to be made by one of the best jewelers in the city. It was made with a special alloy that made the platinum metal glow, and the large blue sapphire was flawless.
"Me too," Percy said.
"I don't know if they would care if you brought a Dark Elf home," Sir George commented.
"Like when you first saw her?" Quinus questioned Sir George. Only for him to look away and play dumb, Quinus shook his head and continued. "I'm hoping they'll overlook her race... But I can see the Marquess having a problem with her..."
"Don't forget the people, Your Highness... They have been hearing all the same stories we have... They may think that you were bewitched," Baron Zellin Coldforge added.
"If I was, then I'm glad to be under her spell."
"Haah... This is going to be an interesting year... Well, the Mage's Guild of Ironside has your back, your Highness," Master Hajdah, the fire mage, said.
"Thank you."
"And the dwarves will support you," Zellin said.
"What are you going to do about the arranged marriage, though? Do you think the Alliance is going to attack us?" Percy asked.
"I hope not. I'll talk to my parents once I get home. But I'll probably have to marry both... I'm not sure that I'm going to like having a second wife whose only purpose is to produce an heir and peace... That's not the way I want to start a family," Quinus looked depressed.
"Oh boy. You're going to have your hands full," Percy chuckled.
"I think it's you who's going to have their hands full," Sir George commented.
"Why's that?" Percy asked with concern.
"You really don't know why?" Sir George questioned.
"No, I don't. That's why I'm asking."
"Percy... Your girlfriend is pregnant."
Percy looked at everyone like they were playing a joke on him. But all their faces were serious.
"What?"
"Percy... She's with child... Congrats, I guess," Sir George patted Percy's shoulder.
"But she said it was due to eating too many desserts, and she told me that mating season was happening next month or so," Percy was confused. But deep down, he knew something was off when she kept saying she was having a hard time losing weight.
"Mating Season? Hahaha! That's rich! Percy, a wolfkin female, gets a little plump when they are pregnant," Quinus laughed.
"And you didn't notice the fact that her chest was bigger and more shapely?" Zellin added.
"Oh, course I've noticed. It's hard not to. But she said that she had an ailment where her chest would get bigger and that it would go back to normal... Damn it... I should have known... All the signs were there... And I teased her about it," Percy looked dejected.
"So... How are you going to break the news to her? She's a demi-human and... You know? Your kids will be halfbreeds," Sir George pointed out.
"Haah... I think she's in denial... Lady Rya and Miss Nieren keep telling her that she is pregnant... But she doesn't believe them," Percy said, "And it doesn't matter if they are halfbreeds... They're my kids, and I'll love them."
