[ she guides one of his hands to her growing belly. ]

it’s like a bird fluttering inside my body… I feel the life grow stronger with each day.

[ a delicate kiss to his cheek. ]

You must share your stories with our baby when they are born… ☺️

pouting

[ heart eyes ]

no need to stop…

I like listening to your story telling..!

[ she places a hand over her growing belly, her cheeks warming with her smile. ]

I never imagined someday I may become a mother… or that I would be so happy.

[ she blinks away tears. ]

I am so happy, Ashe. [ ✨]

me? Like a princess? >\\\.\\\<

Being with Marianne truly feels like being a knight out of one of my books, and the knight manages to wed the princess.

[ she goes a bit green. ]

excuse me. I feel a bit sick….

[ she scurries away like a little mouse ]

I find it morbid….! surely there are other means of feeding these creatures…! if their diet is humans, are you quite sure they are not demonic beasts…??

gahhhh….! >.<

….

[ a soft giggle. ]

Um… I like the name Ashe, can we name the child Ashe?

She is visibly pleased to hear this. “I am very glad…! Then.. I will leave you with them. Forgive my intrusion.”

Of course not, Your Highness >_<

^_^

It is okay. Thank you for letting him go.

it doesn’t seem that way…! Your Highness… I must ask you release him 💧

one of you could get hurt >_<

um ! I think ! maybe stop !

?

From… me

“…. Perhaps try the stress relief first,” She nods assuredly, “You will make yourself unwell if you to not take better care, Your Highness.”

Ashe and I are expecting a baby >_< 🩷

I… I am very glad…!

[ She beams, tears pricking at her eyelids ]

I am happy, too…!

“Your Highness…” She offers a curtsy, a basket hung over her elbow. “Please forgive the intrusion, but you’ve been in here all day… I thought I may make you some tonics. One for stress, one for sleep, one for headaches…”

I am not sure I understand…

Maybe some herbs would help !

Knock knock !
