Hilda said worriedly."It's nothing serious, Aunt. It was just a misunderstanding." Christian replied."Flirting with the Queen could've made you to spend a night in the dungeon." Crystal said, in a firm voice."But she forgave me." Christian pointed out."As long as you both are home, I am at peace with myself." Hilda said with a warm smile."I will go and have my bath." Christian said as he walked further into the room. He walked through the corridor.Crystal had her eyes on him as he left the room. Hilda watched her keenly."You and my nephew seem
Violet sat down at the dressing table. She hummed a song as she brushed her hair. "Your Majesty?""Do come in." She said calmly.Violet had her eyes at the mirror and watched as the door creaked open. She saw the maid as she entered the room through the mirror."Your Majesty, His Majesty has asked him to call you. He is waiting for you at the dining table." The maid said."Oh, okay. Tell him that I'll be with him shortly." Violet said as she stood up from the chair. She picked up her crown and wore it."Are you going out Your Majesty?" The maid asked her."Yes. I want to buy some things for my garden." Violet revealed candidly."A garden? But there is no garden in the palace." The maid said in disbelief."Well, I plan to start. I don't do much here and I easily get bored. I thought having a garden will keep my mind occupied. I would want to continue but I have to enjoy my husband at the table." Violet said as she walked to the door. She turned th
Rebecca held Catherine in her arms as they walked in an open field in town. Zita had accompanied her mistress and walked abreast of her. Catherine, who was three months old, babbled as she looked at a butterfly. The butterfly landed on her arm and flew away."Lady Cathy has become a chatterbox these days." Zita said amusingly, pleased with the growth of the child."Ever since she learnt to say something other than crying, she has been cheerful. It won't be long until she says her first words." Rebecca said happily,"Besides, she needed to get some fresh air. Being close to those arrogant women would make her uncomfortable.""Mm! I do agree, Your grace!" Zita supported her."Zita, can I ask you a question?" Rebecca asked her."Yes, you can." Zita replied calmly."You've lived in that house longer than I have and know more than I do. I'm well aware that the Princess and the Duke were once lovers. How deep was their relationship?" Rebecca asked curiously, re
Fiona walked to the dining room and looked at the table. The Duke as well as his mother were seated at the table. She had a smile as walked to the table."Good morning, Mrs Tracey!" She said cheerily as she pulled up a chair. The chair she has pulled was closed to the Duke's on the other side of the table."Good morning, Princess! I hope you slept well." Tracey asked her with a smile."It would have been a nice night if someone didn't chase me out of his room." Fiona said, indirectly referring to the Duke.Williams didn't reply and ate his food. Fiona served herself and ate her food. He glanced at his side and looked away."Why are you sitting down in my wife's chair?" He asked the Princess.Fiona swallowed what she was chewing and looked at him. Her facial expression was blank."The chair was empty and I didn't see her name written on it. Anyone can sit on it. I don't see the reason it should be reserved for someone who smells like seafood." She replied
George and his wife lay down in the bed. He turned to his side and saw that his wife was already asleep. He had his eyes on her as he slowly removed the duvet. He had his feet on the floor and stood up without waking his wife.He crept to the door and quietly opened it. He snuck out of the room. He climbed down the stairs and walked towards the stateroom. He had got close to the door and saw the person, who her back against the wall.The lady heard footsteps and looked forward. She rolled her eyes when she saw him as he walked towards her."I almost thought my coming here would be in vain." She said plainly, without making eye contact."I had things to do." He replied. He stood in front of her and tried to touch her cheek.The lady slapped his hand and scowled at him."What is with the attitude?" He asked her."You were with her, weren't you?" She said, being a little jealous."She still my wife. I can't just leave her." He answered her. He let out a
Williams sat down on the sofa and surveyed the interior of the house he was in."Here!" A friendly voice said.Williams looked at the person in front of him and smiled faintly. He stretched his hand and collected the cup of tea as well as its saucer. He saw the steam that came out of the liquid."Thank you, Mrs Hilda." He said plainly.Hilda hummed and stood there. She was watched him as he blew off some of the steam and took a sip of the tea."Do you like it?" She asked keenly, with a smile.Williams replied in a nod but didn't make eye contact. He kept the cup on the table in front of him."You know, I can't thank you enough for what you did for my lovely Becky. Despite knowing that she was pregnant with another's child, you still decided to marry her. Not all men would have done what you did." She said openly.Williams didn't reply.
