The grand palace of Valeria lay hushed in the amber glow of late afternoon. Sunlight streamed through tall arched windows, casting long shadows on the marble floor. The Queen, in her seventh month with twins, moved deliberately through the hall, her hand resting on the curve of her belly. The slight waddle in her gait betrayed her regal composure, yet her face shone with a radiant, ethereal light. As she entered the chambers and her eyes found you, a soft smile touched her lips, a silent invitation.
