Chapter 2 Conceive

Conceive

Five month later

The Royal family physicians were brought to treat Grace immediately after finding out that she was sick. "Good morning my king! Physician Edison greeted his head bowed in obeisance before the king. "Please check her up and know what's Wrong with her.

King Alfred commanded as he walked towards her and touched her paused. Touching her chest and heart as he listened to her heart beat and a smile crept through his lips when he found it all out. She was pregnant!

"What's it Edison?" Was it something wrong? The king asks as he leaves her out of the bed and walks towards the king. "If you don't mind I would have requested for all of them to leave here because I have to whisper some important words inside your ears. "Okay! " I want you all out of here except for physician Edison.

The king commanded as they all went away. "My king, concubine grace here has conceived for you! She's pregnant! The physician uttered as his eyes widened open. There was undoubted expression in his eyes as he found it hard to believe.

"I think you're probably mistaken for something Edison! But are you really certain of the news which you just told me? Are you sure she's pregnant with my child right now or you're mistaken and if really you're making a mistake, go and find it now! "No my king, I can't be mistaken. She's really pregnant.

" But can you tell me the sex of the child? I want to know the gender. "It's too early, my king! Not sure because I won't be able to have glue on the baby while it's still new.

*Okay! You may take your leave now! King Alfred was excited. He was indeed excited to find out that one out of the three concubines which he had was pregnant for him. He was really damn excited about it as he had waited long for this.

He just hopes that grace will be able to provide him the type of child he's looking for. He does hope that grace will provide him a male child. Because he needs an heir to his throne. He needs a crown prince who will take his place if he suddenly kicks the bucket today. Which was what he was fighting for. Could it be that it's a curse to why none of his three wives were able to provide him a male child yet? Although his second wife is known as.... Queen Maya gave him a female child which they Later was use as a sacrifice to the Gods.

It wasn't accepted. It was an abomination for the King's wife to give birth to a female child during that festival period.. because that was the day of celebrating the Gods of their land when Maya gave birth and of course her child had to be used as a sacrifice. King Alfred who doesn't like female children wasn't bothered by the deaths of his first child till now, none of the wives were able to conceive again until one of his concubines just did.

And he's going to break the news to everybody. They will be a celebration to all the Royal family.


Grace finally wakes up after sleeping for sometime. She was feeling a little bit dizzy by the time she woke up. She feels so heavy in the moment like some things were beneath her.

"Joan!" She called for her maid! "Yes your highness! The maid Utter bowed her head in obeisance to her. "What I'm I doing here? Who took me here and what did the physician said about my health? She ask in suspenseful tone.

"Actually... I Heard the physician telling the King that you're pregnant which was the reason why they transferred you here to this room. They said you needed your own privacy from now since you're carrying the king child. Grace gasped immediately and fell back to the bed using one hand to hold her stomach. "This isn't true! This can't be true! She uttered in tears as she looked at her maid for an answer but all the maids could do was to shake her head sympathetically and advise her to stop crying.

"Your highness please it's okay stop crying! It will be fine, just believe it! Joan utters as she cries so hard. It can't be! How could she be pregnant for the heartless King? Why does she have to be the one who gets pregnant for him?


"Have you heard the news?" Queen Lilian:the third wife of the king who went

To Queen Maya chamber the second wife of the king asked as she turned to glare at her. The maids were dressing her up at the moment.

"What news?" So you haven't heard it? Queen Lilian was panicking at the moment as Maya trembled in fear, hoping it wasn't what she thought it was. "I heard that concubine Grace is pregnant! " What? Her mouth gasped open as she stood up from the Wooden chair which she was sitting on and clutched her in the hands.

"Tell me that wasn't true?? She asked very furiously as Queen Lilian exhaled deeply. "How wish I could tell you that I was lying Maya! It's true! She's pregnant with him. "Ohhh ohhh This can't be! It can't happen. Because I'm trying my best to make sure that I'm the first queen to give the King a male child.

" But what of me? Lilian uttered as she Scoffed. Your male or female child can come second after mine. Even though I don't hold the title of a first wife of the King, I will make sure that I hold the first Title as the mother of the crown prince of the King because I will never allow that useless concubine girl who just came new to outstand me or try to take my position!

"So what do you think we should do? Queen Lilian asks as she bite her lips. " I need to think of better plans right now! We need to think of better plans so give me some time. "Do make sure you come to my chamber in the evening when the sunrise sets in so we could talk this out. Queen Maya utters as Queen Lilian walks away.
