Help[Games] Re: Saphirdufeu’s Royal Congrats - Round 2
in reply to a message by saphirdufeu
DH: King Simon Thomas Edmund of Wessex (37)
DW: Queen Margaret Eleanor Joana of Fairfax (35)
DD: Princess Katherine Rohesia Elizabeth of Wessex (16)
DD: Princess Alice Constancia Cristine of Wessex (12)
DS: Prince Simon Richard Samuel of Wessex (7)
Seven years after Prince Simon's birth, Margaret itches for another child. Katherine has reached marriageable age and Alice lingers close behind. Margaret knows mothering best, knows mothering more than anything else, and with her youngest now a hearty seven year old boy, she has less and less to do each day.
Since they have a son, family has stopped inquiring about their next child. Prince Simon will follow in his father's footsteps and become the next ruler. However, Margaret puts the pressure on her husband to have another child anyway. He continues to refuse. His refusal time after time has Margaret wondering if perhaps he has a mistress.
One evening, she approaches her husband's private chambers where he does his work and spends most of his time, thinking she might catch him with his mistress. She wouldn't mind it, she tells herself, but she would like to know that she doesn't fill her husband's needs. As she draws nearer, muffled sounds creak from the room. Her heart sinks, knowing what this must mean.
Gathering her courage, she presses on. Her slight fingers wrap around the door handle and pull it out just enough to peek around. Before she puts her eye to the door, she identifies a voice from the room: one of their servants, Amedeo! Simon doesn't have a mistress; he has--
As she realizes why Simon kept the incompetent Amedeo around, Margaret's surprised squeak catches the ears of the men inside the room. Her husband pulls her inside, Amedeo pulling himself together. "You must not tell anyone," the king insists. Margaret nods meekly, keeping her eyes averted from both men.
When King Simon releases her, Margaret races back to her own chambers. Only then does she realize the deal she missed: her silence for another child.
