Chapter 9

Empress Atia Sarai Olympus POV

I woke up to my curtains being opened two days after I found out that I'm pregnant.

"Your Majesty, your bath is ready," says Lucy, one of my human maids, and so I get up and go to the bathroom and get into the bathtub that is the size of a small pool

"Venus," I call as I soak in the tub

"Yes, Your Majesty," she says, entering the bathroom

" I want you to go tell the kitchen that I want scrambled eggs with pickles in them and ketchup on top and a side of peanut butter for breakfast," I say

She looks at me weirdly. "I see the pregnancy cravings are already getting to you, Your Majesty. I'll make sure the kitchen gets that prepared for you," she says as she leaves the bathroom

After soaking for an hour, I get out of the bath, dry off, then put on my robe and walk out of the bathroom

I see my breakfast on the table and sit down to eat. After I eat, my ladies in waiting help me get dressed in a black and gold gown

"Your Majesty, the Royal families from our vassel states, as well as the noble houses that oversee each province, will arrive any second," says Venus after I'm dressed
