Chapter Nine. The Bard of Shadow

“That’s why I didn’t say anything,” Stacey concluded sadly, reaching to the end of her ‘engrossing’ (in all senses of that word) tale. “The doctors still refuse to guarantee anything. I hope you understand why I…”

“You’re such a little scaredy-cat, baby.” I embraced the girl who was on the verge of tears and pressed her to myself. “Everything will be okay. We’ll be okay. We’ve been in worse situations and we’ve made it through!”

When she was still a child, Stacey was diagnosed with a rare disease that, effectively, made it impossible for her to conceive or have children. Her father took her to the best doctors in the land, but they simply shook their heads in puzzlement. Since in our world, time and money can accomplish if not everything, then quite a lot, eventually a solution was found: In order for Stacey to become pregnant and bring a healthy baby to term, she either required in vitro insemination or some miracle. Stacey put off medical intervention up until the last moment and resolved to tell me everything right after the wedding so that we could decide together how we would deal with this problem. Because of all this, imagine her surprise when upon entering Barliona one day, her capsule notified her that she could spend no longer than 8 hours in the game — the maximum time limit for pregnant women. She instantly went to see her doctor who confirmed the capsule’s diagnosis while scratching his head in puzzlement — what had taken place was nothing short of a miracle. And yet, the doctors advised her to wait in order to see how the pregnancy would develop. For the last three weeks she had been seeing the city’s best gynecologists and obstetricians, without telling me or her father a single word. Scary. What if all of this is simply a dream?

We had finally reached the moment when it was time to talk about our relationship. Not merely in the ‘I love you; let’s be together’ sense, but as a conversation that would place everything in its right place: what, where, why and how. Starting with the wedding and what it would look like, where we would go for our honeymoon, and ending with all the financial questions. Stacey’s family — especially following the Donotpunnik affair — had become one of the wealthiest in our region. When I asked how much the Corporation had paid for Ehkiller’s silence and understanding, Stacey named a figure with so many zeros that my jaw clean fell off. Numbers like that don’t exist! This was why Stacey was incredibly happy with our independent financial position and my ability as the future head of the family to provide the level of comfort she’d gotten used to, doing so without turning to her father for help.

I had to give Alex his due. Realizing that his further presence has become inconvenient, he had left us on our own for a few hours. And yet we still had to ride with him to the police station in order to sign our affidavits.
