The queen is pregnant.

Bruno stopped to wait for Kim at the beautiful spring in the woods. "What did he stop back to do?" Bruno kept Wondering. He stood up immediately he heard galloping sounds, there he comes. Kim got to the spot where Bruno was waiting, all he saw was curiosity all over his face.

He had no explanation to give him since Bruno never cared to stop then. "What were you doing back there? I have been waiting for years here" Bruno said. " Get on your horse, we are heading back to the palace" Kim said.

But the response Bruno received was not satisfactory. He tried asking again but Kim ignored and rode faster, he followed immediately.

At THE PALACE:

King Leo sat close his wife. The royal physician visited earlier as invited by the Queen. "How did your meeting with the physician turned out?" King Leo inquired. Smiles was the response Queen offered, King Leo was confused. "I'm four weeks late, my Lord" queen happily answered. Now the King understands what the smiling was all about. "I'm going to father a child soon" he said pecking the Queen's cheek. It was quite a happy moment they both shared together in the room. Kim and Bruno got to the palace after a short while. They both heard some kind of voices celebrating inside the palace.

They entered immediately to know what they are missing. Smiling faces was all over the royal banquet hall. "What is going on here?" Bruno Inquired . " The king just announced that the Queen is pregnant" answered the palace maiden.

"come and celebrate with me" King Leo called out to Kim and Bruno. they all celebrated and it passed.

As Dusk was fast approaching , King Leo invited his two personal guards to inquire how successful their journey was. The King was already seated in his court when Kim entered, he greeted and sat. They both waited for Bruno, but he wasn't around the palace. "Where's Bruno?" King Leo inquired from Kim. Kim left searching for him around the palace, but he couldn't smell his presence within the palace premises.

Bruno quietly sneaked out while the celebration was ongoing to announce the news to the kingmaker.

Whatever new that comes up in the palace, he sends information immediately to the kingmaker. Well that's his job in the palace anywhere to be the kingmaker's earpiece. The king can't be kept waiting, is disrespectful. He was greatly annoyed.

King Leo inquired how it went from Kim since he was present. Kim explained how it went while in the blacksmith's place and he bumped into a old woman being chased by swordsmen.

King Leo was displeased after hearing the old woman story and appreciated Kim for his intervention. Kim didn't disclose that Bruno left him behind.

King Leo spirit was not okay after he heard about the old woman story. "Do you think she will be safe out there in the woods?" King Leo asked. "I don't really know, but I hope she finds her way" Kim said. "The men who chased her called her a witch" Kim added.
