THETIA KESTLE
Cries of pain were echoing inside the castle of the Duke of Ashton. A woman in her early thirties sits on a chair with servants, her husband, and her close friends around her. Her husband was impatient, eager to meet his future offspring. Finally, the screams subsided, giving way to a baby's cries. The maids hurried to clean the child and take care of the mother. They cleaned her and helped her to lie in her bed. She was exhausted. Several minutes passed before the servants returned with her child, tied in swaddling clothes. One of the black-haired maids gently placed the child in her mistress' arms. Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, and most importantly, everyone was anxious to know if it was a girl or a boy.
- "So?" asked the husband in a hasty tone.
