The queen, queen Ashly handed the baby to beth for cleaning. Please take care of her and dont give her to anyone else. I will have the soup and get cleaned. Call the nurse who had accompanied the obstetrician. I also need to look good for the king
Beth left with the baby while queen Ashly had her soup. Why is it bitter.. she mused
She needed to be strong but she was not planning on drinking poison, she had swallowed two mouthfuls of the soup but she had a gut feeling that something was wrong with the soup, She tried to puke to no avail. She inserted her two fingers in the mouth but nothing came out.
She herself was tired the only thing that kept her from sleeping was that pain in her heaet. She felt like she was going to loose something very special to her.
Beth came back with the baby and a nurse had followed her. Who made this soup beth? Ashly had asked immediately they entered her room. It tastes strange like bitter herbs butthere is this peculiar taste like a drug... She shrugged her shoulders.. i dont know but am feeling tired .
Beth had made the soup herself. Since the nurse was there she took the soup and took a sniff... I need to test this.. something is not right. Beth was not having it. She had made the soup herself and also kept it in the blue thermos, then she had come to check the queen's child bearing process. She took a spoon and scooped some soup. It sure tastes bitter, she had only put salt in it. My queen am sorry, i was reckless. I left the soup in the kitchen but i thought it was safe. All the servants there are honest.
The nurse had already sent some samples to be tested.
Ashly had her bathand was now cuddling her baby ..little miracle am waiting for your father to come and name you, i can call you little miracle in the meantime right? The baby giggled as if she was understanding what her mother was saying .
I am going to nurse my baby on my own. The aueen announced as she brought the little buddle of joy towards her chest. Beth didnt question her, she went behind the queen and helped her in loosening her dress so as to breastfeed the princess . Miracle help me in keeping daddy safe. She murmured,
The queen was not allowed to nurse their babies. They were supposed to keep their bodies in shape for the king.breastfeeding will cause her breast to hung loose which was not good for her image. Ashly did not care about this. She trusted that the king would understand . She knew that he loved her, if not he would have replaced her for not giving birth but he had waited for ten years. Even if you dont have children, my nephew can take the throne, dont worry about it its beyond our control.
She remembered his words. Please be safe , please be safe.. Ashly wished in her heart Come back to us safely. Where did you go... We were together in bed, i got in labour and you went to call the doctors yourself but where did you go after that?
As the queen was worring of her husband and king, there was a knock at the door and a nurse came in.
She bowed to the queen and announced.. the results are out my queen
