Diana's POV

I stood before the mirror, adjusting my crown. Pregnancy hadn't spared my energy, but I couldn't let that show. As queen, I had duties to fulfill.

"Valerie would do it," I whispered to myself. "She'd never let pregnancy slow her down."

I took a deep breath, squaring my shoulders. I had to be strong, like Valerie.

My lady-in-waiting, Sophia, curtsied. "Your Majesty, the council awaits."

I nodded, smoothing my gown. "Let's proceed."

The council chamber buzzed with activity. I took my seat, surveying the room.

    Rohan's POVI stood frozen, watching Diana cry uncontrollably. I felt helpless, unsure of what to do.What's wrong with her? I thought, frustration creeping in. I've done everything to make her happy.I've given her all my attention, prioritized her and our unborn child above everything else. I've made sure she wants for nothing.But still, she cries.
