Two years after that, Mother was pregnant again. The two of them became excited once again. This time Father forbade Mother from buying bunches of baby girl clothes, I guessed in the fear that if this turned out to be a boy again, Mother might really dress the baby in girl's clothes. They had planned Sebastian and Jesse's wedding, their still very much non existent grandchild's baby shower... Of course, Jesse was a boy. Mother was extremely extremely disappointed.

When Queen Henrietta had been pregnant with Sebastian and Mother with my brother, Adrian, they had already been planning their wedding. (To be quite honest, they were planning Sebastian and Adrian's wedding, so Adrian should be the one marrying him, not me.) But alas, it turned out Adrian was a boy. Mother was disappointed and rumor had it that Mother was so sure it's a girl, she had only bought baby girl clothes. She had even wanted to dress Adrian in girl clothes. Father stopped that in time so baby Adrian didn't turn into a boy who once wore baby girl clothes.

On the other hand, Geoffrey was surprised when Serena volunteered herself to perform. Her attention seeking behavior instigating his ire. Almost all the people present knew that she was his intended, and there she was, acting shamelessly, not even regarding her position.

"First of, curfew time is at 10 in the evening. We have a monitoring team that checks at 9 in the evening to ensure that you are in your room. Thus, if you return after 9 pm, you need to notify the receptionist in charge to avoid causing unnecessary alarm. Second, guests and visitors, except for immediate family members, are only allowed in the lobby and in the courtyard here on our right. Third, smoking is not allowed within the premises. The rooms are equipped with sensitive smoke detectors and alarms. Lastly, any major acts of misconduct, such as use of illegal drugs, will immediately lead to expulsion."

Did Sebastian just reveal another secret of Adrian? Was that really my brother? Sneaking off work, spending more than half of his salary... No wonder he always complained of being poor and refused to buy Mother new hats!
