The Queen's duty

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.
