"Please forgive me for keeping you all waiting" said Wura as she smiled and she walked into the dining room and she sat across Liam as she had done in the morning, she avoided his gaze as he smiled at her, and she wondered if he ever got tired of smiling so much, they were not on good terms, and it was annoying that he thought that they were.
"That is alright my princess" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled and Liam smiled at Wura as she avoided his gaze.
"That is alright my dear" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled, it would seem that the young couple had a bit of an argument, which made Duchess Cornwalk chuckle, young love was always so sweet and wonderful to be in, they were in one of the best years of their lives.
"Is something the matter?" asked Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled.
"Ahhh, no, no, not at all, I just needed to take care of some things" said Wura as she smiled, she was not lying, she had to take care of her feelings, and that was something.
"Ahh well alright dear" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled.
"I hope I did not interrupt anything when I walked in?" asked Wura as before she had walked into the dining room, she was hearing some discussions going on.
"Ahh well no my princess, not at all" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled.
"The men were just discussing some matters of the Kingdom" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled.
"I see" said Wura as she smiled.
"Let us eat, shall we?" asked Liam as he smiled.
"Yes your highness" said Duke and Duchess Cornwalk as they smiled.
"I do wonder my dear, are you interested in the official matters of the Kingdom?" asked Duchess Cornwalk as she drank her wine.
"Ahh well…" said Wura as she did not know what to say.
"I am not really informed in that area, that is more of his highness's expertise" said Wura as she smiled and she looked at Liam.
"Yes, that may be true, but I am sure that you surely have some ideas on how the Kingdom could be improved" said Liam as he smiled, he knew that Wura knew much more than she showed, and she was always humble not to tell off more than she could handle.
"I truly have no ideas of such your highness" said Wura as she smiled at him, just what was he trying to do?? She did not want to embarrass herself by speaking too much in something she did not know of at all,
"Do not mind my wife, she is rather shy" said Liam as he smiled.
"Oh that is alright dear" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled and Wura smiled as she kicked Liam underneath the dining table, she wished that she was at a better angle to kick his properly in his knee, he was putting her in a situation she did not want to be put in.
Liam just smiled, she was getting rather bold, she even dare kick him as if they were fighting children.
"In truth the stability of the Kingdom is better now than in the days of old" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled.
"In terms of stability, yes, the Kingdom may be stable, but in terms of unity, these days we have been less united" said Liam as he smiled.
"You may say that again" said Wura as she thought she was saying that in her head, but she accidentally said it out loud and everyone turned to look at her, and she smiled sheepishly when she realized what she had just done.
"You agree with me?" asked Liam as he smiled.
"Ah well…" said Wura as she was scolding herself internally.
"*Ahem*, Well yes I do agree with you" said Wura as she cleared her throat and all eyes were on her.
"I see, and why is that?" asked Liam as he smiled.
"Well…" said Wura as she regretted that she opened her big mouth in the first place, now she had all eyes on her, and she was expected to explain why she thought so.
"Well recently I read a book on Wyverdale's past" said Wura as she had no other choice than to say what was on her mind.
"And well King Rehoboam of Wyverdale, the fourth King of Wyverdale, was thinking one day" said Wura as she explained.
"The Kingdom was still small, it only had one city, and yet still then, there was fighting, arguments and news that people wanted to dethrone him worried him" said Wura.
"Then one night he had a vision, he saw an angel, and the angel told him to appoint five men of valour, trustworthy men, men of honour and integrity, to divide the Kingdom into five parts to be managed by each of the men, and they all reported to him" said Wura.
"The King woke up the next morning and did so immediately, he called the five men he saw in the vision, and he appointment them each head of a part of Wyverdale, but they all reported to him" said Wura.
"Each of the men oversaw over a small part of Wyverdale, and because of that, they were able to heed to the complaints of the people and grant their wishes with the backing of his Majesty, it was said that since then Wyverdale has not been as united as it was" said Wura.
"Yes, you are right" said Liam as he smiled, he knew that Wura knew much more, and all she had to do was be more confident.
"My princess, you do speak the truth, it was said that the Kingdom was more at peace then, than now" said Duke Cornwalk.
"Well that may be true, but of course we cannot possibly compare the times then to the times we are currently in" said Wura.
"Back then, the Kingdom was only the size of Cornwalk, but well now, the Kingdom has expanded and conquered almost all the other Kingdoms" said Wura as she smiled.
"My princess, I was not aware that you knew so much" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled.
"Well that is because I truly do not know much" said Wura as she smiled.
"But your thoughts are very valid" said Liam as he smiled and Wura just looked away from him.
"I have to agree with your highness" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled.
"You flatter me, I only know so much" said Wura as she laughed, she only said all she knew and had read.
"My dear, you are very modest" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled.
"That is very true of her, she is modest" said Liam as he smiled at Wura and she wondered what was going on through his head??
"That reminds me your highness, before I forget" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled.
"Tomorrow we will be leaving for the North, we have some official matters over there" said Duke Conrwalk as he smiled.
"Well that is no problem at all Duke Cornwalk" said Liam as he smiled.
"I wish you both a safe journey" said Wura as she smiled.
"Thank you your highnesses" said Duchess Cornwalk as they smiled and they continued to eat.
…
"Thank you once again your highness for your kindness" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled.
"You have no need to thank me, you would do the same for me" said Liam as he smiled.
"It was nice spending time with you and his highness my princess" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled at Wura.
"I can say the same" said Wura as she smiled.
"Thank you dear" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled.
"The both of you are made for each other, and the heavens will bless your marriage" said Duchess Conrwalk as she smiled.
Wura forced a smile, there would be no blessing, because they were not made for each other at all, in fact they disliked each other a lot.
"Thank you Duchess Cornwalk for your kind words" said Liam as he smiled and he put his arm around Wura's waist as he pulled her closer to himself which caught Wura off guard as she suddenly felt his embrace.
"Well we shall be going now, take care your highnesses" said Duke Cornwalk as she smiled and Liam smiled as Wura was in shock, she just stayed very still, they were so close… very close, and for now reason at all.
"Goodbye" said Duchess Cornwalk as she smiled and her husband helped her into the carriage.
"Safe Journey" said Liam as he smiled.
"Thank you your highness" said Duke Cornwalk as he smiled and he entered into the carriage as the carriage door closed and the Carriage began to move as Liam and Wura watched the Carriage leave until they could no longer see the Carriage again.
"Do you want to stay standing here?" asked Liam as he laughed and he looked at Wura as he was still holding her by her waist.
