Dr. Moondrop gives me the side-eye when I rush into the Hospital Wing with Berry and Lowan. "It's not my medical emergency this time," I explain. "It's Princess Berwean ..."
"I'M HAVING A BABY," Berry shouts.
They say from small vessels come the biggest noises. Berry definitely takes first prize.
Immediately, Dr. Moondrop takes hold of her and flies her to the maternity ward, laying her down on a soft comfy maternity bed. "The father of the child only is allowed."
"NO," Berry says with that I'm-the-princess voice. "Van and Daji are like family. I'm going to name my child after one of them. They stay."
Dr. Moondrop glowers at her. "This is my maternity ward--"
"And she's the princess, and I'm the prince, and we say Van and Daji are staying," Lowan asserts. "They beat that demon spider, the one who could have crawled into this palace at any time and killed us all."
