In the early hours of the next day, the Queen delivered a healthy baby boy. A servant was sent to give the news to the King, while he made his way to the Queen's chamber, the ladies in waiting quickly cleaned and wrapped the infant and dressed the Queen more presentable, before the king walked into the Queen's Chambers. As soon the Queen is ready, a servant opens the door to let King in the Queen's chambers.
"Bring me the infant" the King orders
To which, Lady Nina walks towards to the King, infant in her arms. She hands the baby to the King, bows and steps back.

The king then handed the baby back to Lady Nina, walked over to the Queen, kissed her forehead and walked out of her chambers.

The next day, the King had a banquet organized, in celebration of the birth of his son, Prince Ferdinand. All of the Nobles came to congratulate the King and Queen, many came bearing gifts of cloths and jewels. Among their guest, the Queen noticed an old acquaintance, Lady Coral Oldie, wife of very wealthy merchant was present at the celebration. So she passed an invitation to Lady Coral and her husband for a special audience with her.


The following day, Lady Coral and her husband, Sir Herb Oldie, came to court to have their audience with the Queen. She remember them, from when her parents were doing business, they would always be the people her parents trusted. They come from a good fortune, that they have built on their own with their business.

So the Queen had decided to put a good word for them in with king and later that day, Sir Herb received a message from King, granting him an audience. The Queen hopes that with his good family name and history, his good business and fortune. That the King would like his company and be inclined to give him a position in his government.

So Sir Herb, returned to court by himself, for his audience with the King. The King invited him to play chess with him, as the King asked him questions about his family, his schooling and his business. So Herb told him about how he came from a very old and strong name, but unfortunately his family name would end, seeing as his wife produced only one daughter and was in no place to produce more children. He attended university until he achieved his masters degree and opened a clothing making business, which became very successfully and has been living comfortably. The King thought he would be a candidate to be put in place in his government.
