After sharing the joyous moment with their family, Ezekiel and Katelina walked straight to the throne hall to announce the news to the court. As they walked in, the courtiers and guards fell silent, all eyes turning to them.
Ezekiel held Katelina's hand firmly as they entered and took their seats. "Please all rise," Ezekiel's voice rang out with authority and joy. "Today, we have joyous news to share with you all. My queen, Katelina, and I are expecting our first child."
A cheer erupted from the crowd. Katelina's hand rested on her stomach, feeling the warmth and support of her husband beside her. The joy in the room was infectious, and she couldn't help but smile brightly.
"Because of this great news, I've decided that we'll continue the royal feast for a week," Ezekiel announced.
"Your Majesty, we congratulate you on this great news and we are grateful for the week's royal feast." The officials cheered.
