Prince Lucian, affectionately known as Luke to the family, was only six months old when Queen Elizabeth found herself pregnant again. From the second month, she knew that something wasn't right about this pregnancy. Elizabeth had always been remarkably healthy during pregnancy, hardly having any morning sickness or other of the normal pregnancy complications. This time she had severe morning sickness, so bad she lost her voice from all the vomiting, from before she even realized she was pregnant. She could hold no food down, and actually lost weight. She also felt incredibly tired and weak. Though put on bedrest, Elizabeth miscarried shortly into her third month. The ordeal left her very weak and sick, and the physicians warned that she should not attempt another pregnancy for years for fear of losing her life. Christopher, Mira, Rose, and Luke were terrified at the prospect of losing her, and stayed by her side as much as they could while she was on bedrest. The council fretted over the miscarriage and the warning, most worried the queen might not produce another son--the needed "heir and a spare"--but the queen's healthy constitution soon reasserted itself. After a few weeks she was able to get out of bed and take her place at her husband's side, and after a few more weeks she was as healthy as ever.
Three more years passed, and the queen found herself pregnant again. This time she was her normal healthy self and had her normal healthy pregnancy. A beautiful baby daughter was born, much to the rejoicing of the entire family and the chagrin of the male councilors. The king, however, was overjoyed in his daughter, and in a letter to a friend wrote that she is "the roundest, pinkest baby we have ever had, and has the most knowing eyes, exactly like dear Elizabeth's!" They named her Julianna, a name they both loved, and gave her the name Arianna to honor Elizabeth. Julie, as she is often called, is a very happy baby with large and beautiful eyes, and somehow seems more observant than a newborn should be.
In the aftermath of the new princess's birth, there has been some controversy raised by one of the women the king appointed to the counil. Lady Philippa, a former scholar of thirty-five, has caused a bit of an uproar by her proposal of a new law that would allow women to divorce their husbands. Men have always been allowed to divorce their wives, but the new law would allow women to file the suit. The new law would also disallow failure to produce a male heir as a reason for divorce and would require them to provide for any children they had together. This is a controversial move--on the one hand, most of the population agrees with the part requiring men to support their children, and the majority agree with not allowing failure to produce a son as grounds for divorce. But traditionalists argue that allowing women to file for divorce would destroy a woman's respect for her husband, lead to a disintigration of the family unit, and takes women out of their natural place as caregivers and helpmates to theit husbands. The queen, however, supports the law and even gave little Julie the name Philippa after the lady. It is expected the king will pass this law. Lords Rolf and Thierry are feeling the traditional way of life dying, and are secretly rallying men they see as on their side to their cause, planning to fight back against the rising position of women. Unknown to them, however, one of the men, Lord Jonathan, is a spy of Elizabeth's, and is collecting evidence for her. She plans to present it to her husband soon, as she has told Christopher of her worries about these two councilors. Christopher has heeded her warning, but the lords are very good at what they do and he is loathe to replace them if he does not need to, preferring to balance their views with more progressively-minded councilors like Lady Philippa.
