The Marchioness has some News

Hard to miss now, the Entourage first to notice, and first to celebrate. The only ones to celebrate it thus far. Rugina has the tell tail sign, her belly growing and special cloths are now being prepared. Tomas wares a grin, but can tell Rugina is unprepared for this, even with the time to steel herself. Rugina is pregnant, the news is sent from scribes to scribes and to nobility, friends and relatives.

All waiting for the blessed first child, a new generation to come! Rugina's court already blazing in the celebrating orange attire. The windows draped with carnations of gold and orange, each room having scattered with rose petals. Fruit abundant and feasted upon most then meat. A day of dancing and sharing. And at the end of the festivities, by tradition, Rugina must name pick a name for the child. Least she would burden the child will ill fate or miscarriage.

The topic of the father was questioned once, but dismissed. The child would be a bastard, but loved and treated just as a wedded child. As the question was answered, their was no mistaking the child's pure nobility in it's birth rights. It would hold the fathers name, if is a he. Blakeshadow if a she. Currently Rugina could think of nothing but raising the child by her own hand. Guiding its teachings and lessons, being her only parent. She has always carried a burden for the father, and will forever. But Rugina smiles, a blessed burden, a beautiful burden, beloved. Rugina's Child.
