Calvin quickly scooped Natalie up and hurried her to a bedroom in the house.Margot immediately instructed the servants to call for a doctor.The group followed them into the room, while Anthony stayed behind to have Regina's casket moved to the hall for the time being.With the immediate plans to return to Emeria on hold, they would have to proceed with Regina's funeral at the manor.As soon as Natalie was placed on the bed, she noticed that the pain in her abdomen had lessened. But she felt a slight trickle of liquid seeping from her body.She sat up and looked at everyone with a weak expression."I should be fine. Don't worry. I just need to use the bathroom."Calvin quickly assisted her. "I'll take you there."Natalie didn't refuse.The couple went to the nearby bathroom under everyone's gazes.Gabriel thought Natalie was probably fine. He decided it was best for him to leave and quietly stepped away.Remembering that Regina's casket was still outside, Curtis turned to M

Suddenly, Gabriel realized the child wasn't his.He got all worked up for nothing.Despite that, he found himself genuinely glad for Natalie.Smiling, he quickly headed back towards the clinic.In the hall, Margot found Curtis and Anthony working on arranging the mourning hall for Regina.They were also setting up the mourning hall for Frederick and Daniel.Seeing Margot approach, Curtis approached her and asked, "How's Natalie? Is she alright?"Margot nodded. "She's fine."She moved to Regina's casket and gazed at the peaceful figure inside. She then spoke softly with tears in her eyes. "Mom, I have some good news. You're going to be a grandmother. Natalie is not only pregnant, but she's expecting twins. Mom, I hope you're as happy to hear this as we are."Curtis was astonished."Natalie is pregnant?"Margot nodded. "Yes, it's confirmed. They're twins."Curtis let out a sigh of relief.This news was a pleasant surprise for everyone.Perhaps the arrival of the babies woul

After hearing what Laura said, Anthony appeared disdainful and said, "For all these years, if it weren't because of the Morris family, do you think your family would be enjoying such wealth and comfort you have today?"Now that the country is peaceful, he wants his power back? In his dreams." Anthony looked at Calvin and said, "Ignore what Laura said. We don't have to negotiate with Royce. He doesn't even have the right to negotiate with us. I'll settle this.""Uncle Anthony, please don't." With teary eyes, Laura looked at Anthony and pleaded earnestly, "Please just let us go. With the power the Morris family has now, there's no need to keep us under your control."In the end, you all would be exhausted, and we would also be humiliated. I'm begging you, can you please give him one more chance?"Anthony remained hard-hearted and unaffected by the pleading and begging.Laura knew that it was the hardest to convince Anthony, so she turned to look at Curtis. "Curt, please help me

On the stairs, Curtis replied, "Royce wants Calvin to sign an agreement that prohibits interference with royal affairs for 100 years, which essentially acknowledges the independence of the Emeria royalty. In the future, the Morris family will have no rights except for occupying that piece of land for living in Emeria."Curtis walked down the stairs, approached Margot, and said to her with a firm gaze, "I understand that you feel conflicted because of what Aunt Laura said, but you don't need to get involved in this matter. Let Calvin and the others handle it themselves."Laura was very angry and immediately shouted, "Curtis, how could you do this? After all the care I gave you back then, what are you doing now? Do you really want Uncle Calvin and his family to forever keep our royal family from holding its head high?"Why? Why did the royal family have to live in the shadow of the Morris family for their entire lives? Laura couldn't understand why it had to be that way.She started

Upon returning to Emeria royalty, Laura immediately went to see Royce.Royce dismissed everyone around him, leaving only Laura in the room. His heart filled with unease as he asked, "How did it go? Are they willing to sign the peace agreement?"Without saying a word, Laura handed over a recording.She had been worried she wouldn't be able to accurately relay the messages from the Morris family and worried that Royce might not trust her. So, from the moment she entered the manor, she started recording everything.Royce glanced at Laura. Then, he took the recording and pressed play.In no time, the voices of Calvin, Anthony, and Curtis came through.In the first half, Laura's attempt at negotiation failed.Then, Margot's voice appeared in the latter half.Royce, already feeling tense, felt his heart tighten even further at that moment.As he listened to Margot pleading with Calvin and Anthony on his behalf, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.Royce had always though
