Her bold declaration made many heads turn, especially those of the people that were fully aware that she was not pregnant. It was no the tip of Numia's tongue to blurt her deceit out loud, but Linera knocked her out from the back, and a guard covertly dragged her behind a pile of vines.
The Veythar and Rocland looked at each other, wondering how to proceed.
Mrs. Miller started trembling, her face paler than a sheet. Deceiving the king was a crime and the consequences could be severe. She wondered what her daughter was thinking?
Elias marched to Sienna and put an arm on her belly. He smiled like a proud dad to be, "Yeah, we are expecting."
The king laughed. "Elias, are you taking me a fool? If she had a cub, I would be able to sniff it?"
Boldly, Elias replied, "Are you the cub's father? It's a special cub, only I can sniff it."
Sienna tipped her chin up. "Exactly, our cub is special."
