"What happened next?" he inquired eagerly.

Zedran closed his eyes wearily. "After that, His Majesty couldn't bear to witness the demise of his bloodline, or perhaps he had developed feelings for the maid.

"So, he entrusted me with safeguarding her until she successfully delivered the child, after which His Majesty intended to reclaim the child for the palace."

He continued, "However, events took an unexpected turn.
