The next morning, the family gathered around the breakfast table, the morning light streaming through the window.
Lady Elizabeth poured Daphne a cup of tea, a gentle smile on her face. "So, my dear," she said, "how did your meeting with the Emperor go?"
"It went well, Mother. He wanted to know about my progress with the infertility issue," she said.
"He also said he wanted me to visit the consorts. Something about formally introducing the Rose of Eldoria to the Harem."
Her family exhaled in collective relief.
"Well, that's a relief," Finn said with a laugh.
"I thought he might have called you back so soon to again ask you to marry into the harem.", Emma said. Lianna who was munching on some bread, nodded in agreement.
"He already gave his word. We should trust him.", Aidan added.
