Your majesty the Royal dinner is ready, his majesty the king is expecting you to join him." said the butler.

He bowed respectfully and left the chamber.

And then, my ladies-in-waiting started preparing me with a domestic style of dresses that makes me comfortable during the dinner.

When I finally have been prepared, I headed to the fancy dinning room guided by my own guard. I felt like the hallway was longer than usual, maybe because I was over thinking again...

Just then, I arrived. So the servants opened the large door making a way for me to enter.

His majesty the king, my husband was sitting at the head chair of the the table so I greeted him flashing a pleasant smile, then I sat in the other part of the long, well organized, dining table.

The both of us ate our plates quietly, as he was about to drink his expensive wine the servant were going to fill my goblet with that vintage bottle of wine, but I waved with my hand to stop him.

Queen Adelaide: no, I do not drink alcohol.

Y-yes if course your majesty, I beg you my apologies."

He bowed his back deep down and left quickly. I nodded, then looked back to my husband who were looking at me right straight to my eyes.

After that, he nodded to the servants and the guards to get out and give us more privacy, so they did.

The king: well, I am going right to the point. I believe that this is the proper time to you to give me a heir. It happened that we are married for a hole year, so I gived you the time my queen, and now you have to give me the turn.

I was expecting that in anytime sooner or later, it must be the reason for the stress and the over thinking I have been in lately.

I got a deep breath to organize my words, gently I smiled to him hiding my worries, it was very obvious that he was totally right. It is the queen's duty to give her king and her people's kingdom a heir.

Queen Adelaide: yes your majesty, I believe so with you. We can start "that" In our day-in-week sleep together, still it is the better time to us because of our busy week days..

The king: alright then, let it be.

Wait! How can I forget?! Tomorrow is the day-in-week sleep together, I have to prepare myself for that!" I said to myself.

***

Tomorrow evening,

The king was about to arrive in any hour from now on, my ladies-in-waiting did there best to help me to prepare myself.

Queen Adelaide: add some of the special perfume whose my mother gifted to me.

Ooh of course your majesty, this perfume is the best smell my nose have ever smelled." said one of my ladies-in-waiting.

yes, it is very luxurious." responded the other.

It is from the "kingdom of flowers" Like they call it, where our queen came from she is one of those flowers."

The two ladies-in-waiting giggled, and one of them added.

"Of course she is."

I wasn't giving to them much attention, I was already busy thinking about if the night will not past perfectly like it must be.

Do not made one of your judgements, yes I am perfectionist and I am just over thinking again.

Queen Adelaide: you can leave now ladies, you did a great work, his majesty can arrive in any moment from now.

They bowed respectfully, smiled joyfully wishing the best luck and leaved the chamber.

Not for long, he entered my chamber and sniffed.

The king: I have been smelling this perfume since I arrived the hallway.

He stopped for a moment, taking a look at me, our eyes met for long enough. After that, he scanned me, looking at my gown, it was made of "foulard" and silk. Next, his eyes back up again to met mines, just then his gaze fell in my breasts whose were showed by the gorgeous gown.

Suddenly, he broke the awkward silence.

The king: ahem-- you look- ..good.

He sat at my bed. Then, he took a quick look at the chamber whose were decorated beautifully with red flowers petals... Turning his gaze again to me-

The king: I have to admire that you have a great taste of decoration,... At the romantic way, I bet you have been preparing for this seriously. That what I like in you.

He tapped on the bed inviting me to sit next to him, so I sat besides him-

The king: Adelaide, are you ready?

Queen Adelaide: yes, I am.

He rested me gently at the bed locking his eyes with mines, he putted his knees against my hips, slipped down my gown. We were close that I could hear his breath and he could have felt my breathing became slower as will...

To be honest it wasn't my first time. My virginity had been lost by an old lover. I do not reject that, because I loved him passionately as he truly loved me back.

Maybe Kendrick, my husband well not be happy to know that. But I have been told by my mother before that we are not obligated to love each other under our political marriage. To me that's fair enough, haven't it?

I closed my eyes leaving him to take the control himself, he was already busy on the down part of my body. Not for long, our bodies connected to became one. In that moment, I could feel that he were breathing heavily, feeling his warm skin against mine.

Then, just the only voice whose were flying at the chamber was moaning I couldn't hold for any longer..

He moved my hair whose were covering part of my face. Suddenly, he putted his lips on mines and unexpectedly we shared a deep, strong, passionate kiss. Subsequently, our bodies kept moving consistently...

Next day after,

When I finished my daily work, I headed to my favorite place at this castle, the library. I do have of course a lot things to waste my time with but I like to go there to continue my studies, I like to educate myself and keep my mind open, including the knowledge of the latest discovers and news of our kingdom, also the others..

I am inquisitive, studious and surely that is why I have been classed the first at the Royal Academy, which in turn that made me the queen whose married to the king of this kingdom.

...

In late time of the night, I was still in the library.

Queen Adelaide: hmm- interesting...

I was very into what I was learning until one of my ladies-in-waiting approached me.

"Ahem your majesty?"

Queen Adelaide: yes?

"You have to take a rest, you have been at the library for too long-" ,she said anxiously but I interrupted her.

Queen Adelaide: Esmeralda, I am alright.

Esmeralda: but- it is being late and you need to sleep well to preserve your beauty..

Queen Adelaide: ... Alright.

Honestly I am concerned with myself, I am not the person who must be blamed. Raised as the only daughter made me spoiled by my parents and even by both of my brother.. Is an obvious reason.

I went back to my chamber, therefore I slept as I putted my head in the pillow.

***

I have been woken up the next morning by my ladies- in-waiting who were ready to start the journey but I wasn't.

After I had a bath and dressed myself, one of them were brushing my hair and the others were chatting, unless I was withdrawn..

"This necklace is glowing in your neck, so deluxe!", said one of my ladies-in-waiting while she clapped her hand for once.

"yes! can you imagine?! my husband bought it for me, he told that it is so expensive because of its infrequent jewels"

"where is this jewels came from?" ,another lady asked.

They kept chatting and laughing. Although that day it was as usual it felt more tedious..

Or maybe I need more tasks..?

***

"What should I do to fill out my agenda?" I said to myself in confusion.

The funny part that it is already full but I finished everythink and I was just feeling bored.

"your majesty, there is a letter has been sent from prince Barrett" , said one of my ladies-in-waiting while she was approaching me, carrying a letter.

"My brother! finally! I missed him so much" I said to myself happily.

I took the letter from her exiting to read it, as I sat at my desk I opened the letter carefully.

*Dear Adelaide,

I am writing this letter because I am sure you are feeling bored, and obviously because I am not there to bother you.

I missed you very much, it have been a year since you got married and the castle feels empty without your presence.

I would be greatful if you send me back, do not forget that we promised each other to keep in touch.

Yours faithfully,

Barrett*.

I chuckled and grabbed my feather to start writing him back.
