Chapter 14 - CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Being An Aunt~

       The young handsome gentle man,stressed his hands towards the Elizabeth who didn't notice to have placed her hands smoothly on the young man's hand. The young man gently drew Elizabeth nearer and she felt his strong,firm and manly arms around her waist and she shivered a little but the man seem to have felt her shiver and so he drew her even closer toward his chest so she would feel his warmth and then led her to the dance floor.

   Everyone one seem to have disappeared,and all Elizabeth could see and feel was this strange man holding her at the moment. Elizabeth had never felt so drawn to someone before. Even being up close to the stranger, Elizabeth could see the little detail of his face and she could only but imagine how beautiful this man must look without the mask.

    "You look beautiful. I don't think I've ever come in encounter with such beauty before" the man gave Elizabeth a dashing smile, enough to make ones heartbeat stop,but that's when Elizabeth realized that she was at the dance floor dancing with a stranger.

   Elizabeth stopped dancing and tried walking out of the dance floor if not just possibly running from the embarrassed for being swayed by a random man,and she was a married woman.

   Just when Elizabeth thought that she had escape,she felt someone grab her hands. Thinking it was the previous young man Elizabeth removed her hands from the person grip but then she heard someone fell.

   Instantly, Elizabeth turned,and instead of see the young handsome man or another random man on the floor, Elizabeth saw Queen Anna on the floor trying hard to move at the same time, groaning out in pain.

   Elizabeth rushed to meet her and then everyone turned to see Queen Anna on the floor. Two guards rushed in as well as a woman and Queen Anna moan in louder for them to help her.

    "She's about to give birth, we need to get her to a vacant room were she can deliver her baby."she explained as if being experience in it. King Arthur walked towards Queen Anna and Elizabeth and ordered for her to be taken to a room with the woman who was a courtlady would assist her. A physician was also called.

   Everyone looked surprised and some looked at the queen with pity eyes. Everyone was aware about the king's recent degree and was worries the gender of the child,no one was even worried about the mother of the child.

    Elizabeth could not follow them to the room,she could only escort them to the door of the room. Elizabeth felt her heart thumbing fast and her palm sweating,she felt all the nerves of her body tensed and she feared the worst. This was something queen Anna had to face alone.

    Hours later,after moments of screaming and shouting,a servant came out of the palace holding a small material which was stained with blood particular. Elizabeth felt her world clashing.

   "My queen,the Queen is fine, healthy and strong" It was like a burden was lifted above Elizabeth shoulder. "And it's a baby girl"

   Just then the cry of the child was heard and the made rushed to inform the king that the child was a girl. King Arthur didn't seem to appreciate the news but he still went to see Queen Anna who was lying on the bed with Elizabeth by her side,patting her on the head.

   Queen Victoria was behind the king and when she saw Queen Anna rocking her child in her arms. She looked weak and drain but still managed to hold her child,she felt happy and sad,it was like a female child was now more valued than that of a male child.

   King Darik offered his palace to the king and insist that they spend the night at the palace,with the excuse of the new born child and her mother,but everyone knew he had other plans in stock.

   "My baby. Oh my beautiful daughter."tears gathered in Queen Anna's eyes as she Stare lovely at her sleeping child in her arm.

   "Let me help you" Elizabeth offered to help Queen Anna with her child so she could rest but Queen Anna wanted to hold her a little more longer.

   But when Queen Anna fell into a deep sleep, Elizabeth gently took the child from the mother and placed her by her on the baby cuddle. Two maid's came in to inform Elizabeth that her room had being prepared.

   Elizabeth didn't want to leave the room,but felt she had to eventually leave the mother and child on their own. How happy Queen Anna must have felt and how relieved she was that no one was harming her child.

   The maid's took Elizabeth to her room where she saw the king, king Arthur seating by the pouch closed to the fireplace,with his white evening sleeve loosed at the first three buttons. King Arthur looked tired and seemed to must have fallen asleep,as his right hands were placed covering his face.

   Elizabeth wanted to ask why the king was here but felt the need not to,so she dismissed the maid's and walked straight to the pouch. She leaned forward to cover up the king's body when she felt an heavy aim around her waist draw her closed and she fell on the king's broad firm chest and her head right below his jaw.

     She looked up and her eyes meet his lips slightly opened and sending warm breath into her face. The arms around her was firm and didn't loosen up even a bit. She suddenly realized that she was on top of the king and he was holding her in place.

   The last time Elizabeth felt this close to the king was her wedding night and that was far too long. Elizabeth never knew she missed this feeling until this moment. What was happening? Elizabeth wanted to get off the king's body but it just made him wrap his two arms around her,and spoke softly into her ears "Do I have to be more precised with my intention?"

   Elizabeth couldn't help feeling taken aback. For some reasons she didn't know why she wanted to push him away so badly, maybe it's because of all the pain he made his wives go through and the blind eyes he gave to them. Or maybe it was really because she feared he would do the same to her.

   King Arthur was yet to be informed about Elizabeth pregnancy and she knew it was taking too long for her to Inform him. King Arthur slowly opened his eyes and revealed those crystal-like eyes that matches his silver hair that fell freely on his head.

   "You look more beautiful than the last time" king Arthur brushed his hands on Elizabeth back sending electricity all over her body. The king lean forward to place his lips on Elizabeth lips but she couldn't help her self and she opened her mouth, and what came out afterwards made the king stop.
