The departure

The next morning, Farangis came to Narsus' office to report. She told him everything happened last night, only hid about the **** in the bathroom.

Listening to her story, Narsus satisfyingly nodded:

"So His Majesty has graduated from virginity. You have my thanks, Lady Farangis."

"In that case, can I ask for something?"

"Of course. What do you need?"

"Jewelry and gems that are worth at least 1000 gold dinars. Tomorrow I'll take a departure to the Temple of Mithra to offer a tribute to my goddess."

Narsus frowned: "That amount is no problem, but why so hurry? I feel that is just an excuse, and you have another reason to leave. Is there something I need to know?"

Farangis walked over and whispered to Narsus' ear: "His Majesty Arslan has asked me to become the queen and bear his child."

"Oh, I see..." Narsus said, "His Majesty is still young after all. He may not know about the taboo."

"I think the best way for both of us is not to meet each other for a while. In the meantime, you can arrange some maids to serve His Majesty at night."

"I agree. I'll tell Elam to prepare everything for you."

The next day, Farangis left the capital with two horses and a bag of jewelry and gems. Watching her back, Arslan sighed: "First Daryun, then Farangis. I feel so lonely..."

Beside him, Narsus touched his shoulder: "Your Majesty, it's not like that we don't see them again. A temporary farewell makes a happy reunion."

"You're right."

"Urgh..."

Farangis raised her hand to cover her mouth, as a sudden wave of nausea hit her. She never felt such a strong urge to vomit before. A thought flashed through her mind and her hand touched her lower abdomen.

That's impossible. I have washed myself very thoroughly that day. Besides, it cannot be that fast...

Unbeknownst to her, what she was thinking was right. In her womb right now, a fertilized egg was undergoing rapid cell division. It traveled through her fallopian tube to her uterus and implanted itself on the wall. Hr body has just received the signal to provide the nutrient for a new baby.
