"Thank you my Queen" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Oh I mean Wura" said Nigel as he smiled and Wura smiled at him.
"No need to thank me Uncle Nigel" said Wura as she smiled.
"I have always wanted more Uncles" said Wura as she laughed.
"Oh is that so?" asked Nigel as he smiled happily.
"Yes" said Wura as she laughed and she nodded her head.
"How many uncles do you have?" asked Nigel as he smiled.
"Well I only have the one, Uncle Richard" said Wura as she laughed.
"Oh yes, you are the daughter of Duke and Duchess Scot if I am correct?" asked Nigel as he smiled.
"Yes, I am" said Wura as she smiled.
"Last time I checked, the Scots only had one son, and that would be your Father" said Nigel as his mind really got hazy when it came to remembering all the duke families in the Kingdom.
"Yes, that is so, but my Aunt Tessa, my Father's younger sister, got married to my Uncle Richard" said Wura as she smiled.
"Ahh, I see now" said Nigel as it all made sense to him now.
"Yes" said Wura as she smiled.
"And do you have any cousins?" asked Nigel.
"Well no, not yet, but my little cousin is on the way" said Wura as she smiled.
"That sounds wonderful, I wish your Aunt a safe delivery" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Thank you Uncle Nigel, we all do" said Wura as she smiled.
"Will the child be a girl or a boy?" asked Nigel as he smiled, he just adored hearing of births, maybe because his own family was never established, but he always found comfort when he heard about the happy families of others.
"My Aunt is positive that it will be a girl" said Wura as she laughed.
"How is she so sure?" asked Nigel as he laughed.
"Well she says that she can feel it in her bones" said Wura as she laughed.
"Your Aunt sounds like a very interesting woman" said Nigel as he laughed.
"Oh yes she is Uncle, when she returns, I would love for you to meet her, you would love her" said Wura as she smiled.
"Hopefully I will still be around by that time" said Nigel as he smiled and Wura smiled as she ate her eggs.
"Uncle Nigel… how was his Majesty while he was growing up?" asked Wura as she was very curious, it would seem that Nigel and Liam were very close.
"Ahh… well my Queen… he was very troublesome" said Nigel as he laughed.
"Oh really now?" asked Wura as she was surprised.
"Yes, he was very mischievous, Alaric often said that it was a trait he had inherited from him" said Nigel as he laughed as Wura laughed.
"Please do not tell him that I was the one that told you this my Queen" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Do not worry Uncle, he will not know that you were the one who told me" said Wura as she smiled.
"My lips will be sealed" said Wura as she smiled.
"Alright my Queen" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Well, when Liam was of the age of ten, he came over Livington to visit me" said Nigel as he started and Wura listened to him very attentively.
"At the time, his father was very busy with official matters, so he could not come along with him"
said Nigel.
"Which resulted in Alaric sending Liam over to me with some Palace guards to protect him" said Nigel.
"It was summer at the time, and the roads were clear, it would take three days for Liam to arrive in Livington, seeing as the Carriage they were in stopped at the towns when it became dark outside" said Nigel.
"But one evening during one of their stops, Liam decided to go out and explore, and he managed to sneak out of the watch of the guards" said Nigel as he explained.
"Oh my…" said Wura as she was surprised, ten year old Liam ran away.
"Yes my Queen, your reaction is right" said Nigel as he laughed.
"Did he get lost?" asked Wura.
"My Queen, he did more than get lost, he lost his way, and he ended up stranded in the forest, the guards had come to him room in the inn to call him for dinner, but he was nowhere to be found" said Nigel as he laughed, right now this might have been funny, but back then it was not.
"At that moment the guards immediately began to search for Liam, and when they could not find him, they quickly sent letters to his Majesty, and I, and we became distraught" said Nigel as Wura looked very worried, this story was interesting to say the least.
"The search for Liam continued for three days, until one fine morning, I had returned from the market, only to find Liam sitting on the doorstep of my front door" said Nigel as he laughed.
"Where had he gone Uncle?" asked Wura.
"Well he later told me and his Father that he got lost in the Forest, and he continued walking up north, until he reached Livington" said Nigel.
"Up until this day, we do not know what truly happened, only God knows how he was able to survive in the forest for three days, without food or water, he was only a boy, and he was lost all alone" said Nigel as he laughed.
"What a surprise" said Wura as she did not know that Liam could do such a thing.
"Oh yes my Queen, we were all so worried about him, and he was scolded extremely by his Father" said Nigel as he laughed.
"And that was why from that day on, Alaric always carried Liam wherever he was going, less he disappear once again" said Nigel.
"To tell you the truth uncle, I never thought that his Majesty would ever do something like that" said Wura as she laughed.
"He always seemed like a very responsible, sensible man to me" said Wura as that was the truth, she held Liam in high regard.
"Oh my dear, he is, now he is, but when he was a child, he used to misbehave a lot" said Nigel.
"Alaric always thought that the reason might have been because Liam grew up without the presence of a mother, and Alaric really did try his best to make sure that Liam knew he was loved and cared for" said Nigel as he smiled.
"His Majesty was a very good man, and an even better Father" said Wura as she smiled.
"That he was" said Nigel as he smiled.
"But Liam is a good boy, Alaric tried his best, and Liam grew up into a fine young man" said Nigel as he smiled and Wura smiled, that was the truth.
"If I may ask my Queen, how did you and Liam meet?" asked Nigel as he smiled, he was curious to know how his beloved nephew met this wonderful woman.
"Ahh… well…" said Wura as she was caught off guard, no one had ever asked how she had met Liam before, but they had met during the festival.
"Well we met during the Festival…" said Wura.
"Ahh… I see my Queen, I had forgotten all about that Festival" said Nigel as he laughed and Wura laughed as well, quite frankly, she thought that, that Festival was stupid.
"So was it love at first sight?" asked Nigel as he smiled.
"Ah… no, no Uncle" said Wura as she laughed and she shook her head.
"In all honestly Uncle Nigel, I did not like his Majesty at all" said Wura as she laughed.
"After the Festival, all I know was that his Majesty came along, asking for my hand… and well here we are" said Wura as she smiled, she did have regrets, but she could do nothing about them, what was done was already done, and she did not mind at all, she was living the life that she had now.
"It would seem that you caught the heart of my nephew" said Nigel as he laughed.
"I doubt that Uncle Nigel" said Wura as she laughed, there was nothing special about her at all, in fact in the beginning, she had tried behaving like a unreasonable, spoilt woman to chase Liam away, but that did not work for her at all, Liam still went on.
"Oh believe me my Queen, I know my nephew" said Nigel as he smiled and Wura just shot him a smile.
"Well this was very enjoyable my Queen, but I am sorry, I will need to be going now, I have a meeting with Duke and Duchess Williams" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Oh well that is alright Uncle Nigel, enjoy your day" said Wura as she smiled.
"Thank you my Queen, enjoy the rest of your day as well" said Nigel as he smiled and he stood up and Wura smiled as he walked away, leaving her in the dining room alone.
…
"My Queen, here are the manuscripts that Lady Marli asked me to give to you" said Nora as she walked into Wura's room and she handed her some old looking documents.
"Oh, Thank you Nora" said Wura as she smiled and she collected the documents from Nora as she began to look through them.
"My Queen… what are the manuscripts for?... if I may ask?" asked Nora as she was watching Wura as she looked very serious.
"Of course you can ask Nora, and these are some documents of the Kingdom" said Wura as she went through the documents.
"Ahh... I see my Queen" said Nora as she nodded her head.
"I am going through them well because… I spoke with Lady Marli earlier, and I would like to assist as much as I can" said Wura as she could see that Nora looked even more confused.
"What I mean Nora, is that, I spoke to his Majesty yesterday about me performing the Queen's duties, and he said that instead of accepting the position just like that, I can ease my way into it" said Wura as Nora nodded her head now she understood.
"Yes Nora, so I spoke with Lady Marli earlier this morning, and well she was pleased with my decision" said Wura as she smiled.
"Ahh… that Is good my Queen" said Nora as she smiled.
"Yes Nora, it is" said Wura as she smiled.
"My Queen, do you require my assistance with anything?" asked Nora.
"I might not know much, but I may be able to help" said Nora.
"Thank you for your help Nora, but that is not necessary at all" said Wura as she smiled.
"I just have to read through some of these texts, and that is easy" said Wura as she smiled.
"Alright my Queen" said Nora as she smiled and she nodded her head as Wura smiled at her.
"My Queen, may I clean your room? Or would I be disturbing you?" asked Nora.
"You can go ahead Nora; I will be fine" said Wura as she smiled.
"Alright my Queen" said Nora as she smiled and she bowed her head as she walked and she began to make Wura's bed.
Wura was reading through the texts in her hands as she paused on something that made her confused, she had never heard of this particular topic before, and it made her confused.
"Nora…" called Wura as she turned to look at Nora.
"Yes my Queen?" asked Nora as she turned to look at Wura.
"Nora, do you know anything about the Royal Law of year three?" asked Wura as she looked at Nora.
"The Royal Law??" asked Nora as she looked confused.
"Yes Nora" said Wura.
"Well no my Queen, I have never heard of such, and much more less of year three" said Nora as she looked puzzled.
"I thought as much" said Wura, she had read many books on the history of Wyverdale, and there had been no mention of this law in any of them, and yet they were here.
"My Queen, maybe you should ask lady Marli" said Nora as she saw that Wura looked just as confused as she was.
"Hmm, I would, but she told me that she would be going out of the Castle today, and she would only return late in the evening" said Wura.
"Ahh, I see my Queen" said Nora.
"Nora, I will be right back" said Wura as she stood up and she carried the text in her hands.
"Alright my Queen, may I know where you are going?" asked Nora.
"To see his Majesty, I will return soon" said Wura as she smiled.
"Alright my Queen, take care" said Nora as she smiled and Wura smiled once more as she walked out of her room and she closed the door behind her.
