Candyda P, as I said at the beginning of the sentence you quoted, "likely at some point." This of course is based on assumption and writing experience but is no guarantee. The reasoning behind this is that in any good storytelling there is some sort of conflict. Well, if we have the heir born already for a third book, there's only three options for such as this series is revolved around them possibly not getting the throne.

A. The child is sick or injured. This would then create a much larger problem to write your character still having adventures during.

B. The child is kidnapped. Hard to do a full book about the adventures trying to rescue your child. The Elementalists and a few other stories could have pulled it off, but not the mostly light-hearted style that's set for the TRR series and duplicated in TRH (although I'm so glad this is less of a "tour" than previous stories).

C. That leaves us with conflict that your child might possibly not be the only potential heir, hence the king's alleged love child.

Now we could be thrown a curveball and be thrust completely into political intregue with trade negotiations, help leading the country, etc. which actually would be great to see (could you imagine if how you handle decisions through out the three books would determine the state of Cordonia the way that it worked in The Crown and the Flame?) However, we'll likely see some elements of that within the story/stories, while focusing mostly on the heir.
