The Challenges Ahead

Mineah let out another sigh as she lay in bed, waiting for Nikolai to join her. He was still outside doing some work. It had been a challenge for her to find the right moment to discuss the problem of having a baby, especially with the divine dagger still residing within her. Tonight, she was determined to bring up the matter with him.

Her recent meeting with Queen Mother had left her feeling uneasy. She could feel how excited the Queen Mother was about the prospect of her becoming pregnant and she didn't want to curb her excitement in any way so Mineah could only smile and reassure her. 

However, the unexpected circumstances involving the dagger inside her complicated her plans. She and Nikolai were trying their best to conceive, and she yearned for it as much as the Queen Mother did. But who would have thought that this dagger would bound itself in her body? She had only meant to hide it from Nikolai, never imagining it would bond itself to her permanently.
