Hmmm.. or marry them off and let them raise the baby in the household as loyal household retainers. The baby can serve the family when they grow up. That wasn't uncommon back in ye olden days. Think of the old butler who's father and grandfather served as the noble family's butler. I have a "royal family now turned landed gentry" aka Princess Cordelia's great grandson that still has household retainers. Robert the butler and Matilda the cook are married and their grown son Bob is the groundskeeper. Just added a spicy nanny. I dunno if Bob or the prince himself might pursue her....
