The birth of the twins and the propaganda to save Marrine's face

Seven months later, the Empress has finally given birth to the children she sired with the Mirza of Dartania. However, once the two girls are born, they caused quite a sensation in the palace and later, the entire Empire of Leon, because of the color of their skins are darker than that of their mother.

To save Empress Marrine's face, Emperor Alexis made it known to the public that the Empress has slept with the Mirza of Dartania back when she was a Margrave because he saw no point in hiding this anymore. However, he also delivered a speech that Empress Marrine always has the best interests of the peoples of Grancrest at heart and is willing to do even give up her life if the situation demanded for it. By stating that due to being threatened by the Mirza and the pressure of reuniting all of Grancrest for the sake of its peoples back then, she had **** but to give in to the Mirza's demand.

After the delivery of such speech, the Empire of Leon's citizens come to admire their Empress instead of despising her and calling her out as a cheater.

Four years later...

The two dark-skinned girls, Aisha and Maryam, the daughters of Empress Marrine, are playing with each other in the garden of the palace. Nearby, their mother, the Empress herself, is carrying an almost-a year-old girl with blonde hair and cyan eyes in her arms while a two-year-old girl with violet eyes and blonde hair is sitting with her nearby enjoying her cake. Also, her belly is also very big, showing that she is pregnant once again. However, like her second and third pregnancies that resulted in the birth of the girl who is sitting near and the girl that she is carrying in her arms, they are actually the children of Emperor Alexis this time.

After that, the Emperor arrived with his friends, Duke Theo Cornaro and Duchess Siluca Cornaro, the last one whose belly is also bloated due to carrying a baby inside as well. Then, a four-year-old girl with green hair in pink dress, Sophia Cornaro, daughter of the Duke and the Duchess Cornaro, run to the twins and asked if she can play with them. They agreed and they play together while their parents decided to sit with the Empress and talk with one another.
