Queen Rose went to her husband's residence to join the court with him. The King dismissed the valets who dressed him in his black robe and a golden shawl around his shoulders.
"My Queen, I was tending to come after you."
Queen Rose couldn't believe her ears, the king wanted to go after her? Since when he was that delicate to show her sympathy!
"Your kindness, your highness."
The King approached her and his head neared her ear.
"I've heard rumors about you, Rose."
The Queen swallowed. What did he mean to say? Why was he acting this way today?
"I don't understand, your Majesty might want to speak clearly." She felt that her back sweated.
"Yes, I'm talking about the young men that shouldn't be in your chambers."
She closed her eyes, the chill was grazing down her spine.
"Should I remark the number of ladies you bring here?"
She claimed the words bravely made the king chuckle.
