Natalie's amusement in Vivienne announcing she would take other men did not last long as she now worried about Darius losing his spot as king.
That couldn't happen as then all her hard work would be for nothing.
Natalie didn't care about Darius. What she cared about was the king. It would be hard to seduce the next king after carrying a child for Darius, and Natalie didn't want to start over getting anyone's attention.
Natalie patiently waited for Darius to finally let Vivienne leave. "She must still be speaking out of anger. She will vote for you. Her anger should not cloud her judgment now and cause her to lose her seat as queen. Should I speak to her?"
"Now is not the best time for you to speak to Vivienne. You must avoid her and remain out of sight to keep our child safe. I will set Vivienne right," Darius replied.
