truly, with the references given the thing I'm most excited for now is the duchess learning about Astra's magical capabilities to get a 'toy' or potentially gift/share that same ability. i have no doubt it'd be funny to say the least
Thanks for the chapter. I now truly think that they were "destined" for each other. Which is the reason why she never had babies. It would also explain the queen kinda neglecting her after they made the attempt in the past. All the queen truly cared about was making a baby back then in my view.
