On that day the kingdom felt sorrow all throughout as one of the prince's had past away they held a ceremony for the town folks to pay their respect. A week later his body was laid to rest in the royal graveyard. The day after his body was placed in the ground an unknown woman showed up to the palace demanding to speak to the king himself. The guards refused to let her in but the Queen let her in to hear what she had to say.
The woman was no other than Freya Carrington a charismatic woman indeed. With her fiery red curly locks and dazzling blue eyes. She was not afraid to show body and her dress basically showed everything she had.
Why do you wish to speak with my husband Ms. what is you name I didn't ask for it. I hope you didn't come here to try and seduce his royal majesty as a woman like you could never. Said the queen with a smirk on her face.
Ms. Carrington your highness. My name is Freya Carrington daughter of Brutus Carrington a loyal noble man to the empire. I came here requesting your audience about the news concerning your majesty's son prince Heinrich, is it true that he has passed away recently.
Why would you care about my son's whereabouts, but yes it is true he passed away a week ago in the battlefield his body was laid to rest yesterday. But why should it matter to you. I'm the one who lost my son.
Well your highness I am with child and the father of my child is of prince Heinrich. Freya told the queen sending a wave of shock throughout the castle as the news spread immediately.
WHAT, how, who are you again?
Freya Carrington your highness. She said with a smug look on her face knowing that she now held their attention which is what she loved most.
You there go retrieve my husband and daughter we have some discussing to do.
Yes your majesty. The royal guard said as he bowed his head and took his leave.
MOMENTS LATER KING NOLAN AND PRINCESS MORRIGAN BOTH ENTER THE ROOM
What seems to be going on around here I have a lot of work to do I can not be bothered with such things. Nolan said
I know honey but this woman has some news and I wanted you here to hear it so that I know I'm not crazy. Hera said running towards her husband with a concerned look on her face.
So what is it I have better things to do mother. Said Morrigan as she looked at the woman standing in the room.
Well go on woman tell them what you told me. Hera shouted to Freya
Well your majesty I am with child and the father of my child is your son Prince Heinrich. Freya said with a smug on her face as if she was better than them as she placed her hands on her stomach letting them know it was true.
How do we know that you are telling the truth you could be lying for all we know. Do you know this woman Morrigan since you were the closest one to your brother? Did you ever see them together? King Nolan asked looking upset as always.
I can not say that I have father. Heinrich never mentioned a specific woman let alone a red head. I would recall that. Morrigan said unbothered by the situation as this seem like something her brother would do as he was the ladies man, but to get her pregnant that's another level that means she meant something to him. She thought to herself
Do you have any proof that it is indeed his. Asked Hera, when deep down she hoped it was her son's child as it meant she had a piece of him still.
I have a portrait that we had gotten done in the town when he came to visit in case he was to pass away during battle, so that I could have a picture of him to remember him by.
Well did you bring it. Asked Nolan
I did actually it's in the carriage. Freya said excitedly knowing that her proof was enough so that she would be accepted into the royal family.
MOMENTS LATER A PAINTING WAS BROUGHT IN BY THE GUARDS
It was covered and as soon as it was brought in Freya ran towards it uncovering it, causing burst of laughter to erupt from the three people in the room.
What is so funny? I don't see a reason for you to be laughing right now. She said with an upset face.
That isn't my son, what joke is this? HAHAHAHA Laughing the loudest was Queen Hera
This is your son he told me himself that he was prince Heinrich before he went off on he last trip incase something happened to him I would know his true identity. Freya yelled sounding upset that they didn't believe her.
No my son has one blue eye and an emerald green eye. The gentleman in the photo has two blue eyes. Him and my daughter Morrigan were born with two different colored eyes. The only one who has two blue eyes was our son prince Malik but he was killed as a child when he was kidnapped.
I swear that is prince Heinrich. He is the father of my child, he is to be born into the royal family. Freya said frantically as she started to panic that she could be killed for lying to the royal family.
Someone get this woman out of my face. King Nolan demanded to the guards.
WAIT WAIT I'M TELLING THE TRUTH. Freya screamed.
Wait father I have something I would like to discuss with you in private please. She said as she glared at the red headed woman. Morrigan and Nolan then walked out of the room. Father I think the woman may be telling some sort of truth. When Heinrich was killed a man dressed in all black armor with a skull masked attacked him, I chased him down uncovering his face to reveal a man that looked exactly like mother. I called out his name but he didn't respond, so their is a possibility that Malik is still alive. Also I think I know how we can truly know if the woman is telling the truth. Do you not recall that Heinrich and I were born with matching birthmarks of a crescent moon on our shoulders. If she was with him she had have to seen it on him so ask her about.
You are right about the birthmark I completely forgot about it. But are you sure about Malik it isn't possible for him to be alive I swear I saw a boy exactly like him dead in an abandoned house in a village. Right now Malik isn't our concern we need to get back to the matter of this woman if she is telling the truth. Let's go question her immediately.
Shall we father after you. The two emerged back into the room walking straight to the red headed woman.
If you are telling the truth my son had a birth mark. Where was it and what was it? Nolan asked
A birth mark, um oh yeah it was a crescent moon on his shoulder. Does that prove that I am telling the truth my lord.
Well it seems you are telling the truth, but it doesn't mean you are completely safe we shall test the child if it is really his once it is born. If this child isn't my grandchild I hope you are ready to die for lying to us. Guards set up a room for the young lady here what is your name Ms ? asked Nolan
Ms. Carrington your majesty and I swear upon this kingdom that I am not lying to you.
You are dismissed now Ms. Carrington and we shall see in the future. King Nolan said with a serious look on his face.
