The next ti I opened my eyes, I was standing next to with a warm and welcoming smile on her face. It was then I noticed the warmth of the sun setting.
"I fell asleep?" my voice of groggy and it took a few seconds to get my vision straight.
"Yes, your highness, you did. When you were talking with Lady Marilyn." Irene took a step back and conversed with the other two ladies over preparing for .
I watched them interact before Irene ca over to . Everything was ready.
The next thing I knew him I was in front of the mirror with one of the maids making my hair. Today my hair was tied up with a few strands of my hair standing out, curled to perfection.
I felt like a queen, especially with the jewelry that Irene added. My fingertips touched the necklace on my neck. It was beautiful. "Who gave this to you?"
"The king’s aunt."Irene answered. "This belonged to the mother of the king and is being passed down to you."
"I see." My eyes carefully went over every detail of the necklace. It has the famous Astria designs on it which made think that it belongs to royalty and not Tristan’s mother who was a vampire. It felt like it belonged to Anastasia more.
"How," I gulped, taking a mont to phrase my words right, "how did this belong to his mother? It looks like it belongs to Royalty." I whispered.
Irene glanced at it. "I think King Arthur had it made for the king’s mother."
Ah, yes. That would explain everything. Since the king or third left Tristan’s mother, he would obviously give her sothing that was worth gifting to a queen.
The maids had left so ti ago and it was only and Irene. Once I had my shoes on, I decided that it was ti to go outside.
The mont the doors were opened by Solomon, who wished good morning with a bright smile, I ca face-to-face with Tristan’s Uncle Dominique.
"Good morning." He wished with a slight bow, "your highness."
It took a second to gather myself before I wished him back.
"Would you care to co on a walk with ?" He smiled and I could see his fangs.
"Where is Tristan? I am assuming that he is not in the palace at the mont." Otherwise, no one from his family mbers would be so bored. Tristan kept them away from but sohow the mont he was away, they all ca like bees attracting to Honey.
He gave a bright smile that made his red eyes shine. " you assu correct. My nephew is not here at the mont and I thought I will take this opportunity to bond more with you. What do you say," he held his elbow out for to take, "would you like to take a walk with in the garden?"
At this point, did everyone know that I like to roam around in the garden like a lunatic?
Nodding, I slowly took the offered elbow and walked with him. "I hope you’re walking comfortably. Vampires tend to travel fast."
He smiled again with a small laugh. "Children or often human when they are born, unless until the end because of them, we do have to slow down."
"Do you have children?"
Dominique waited for a second before answering with a shake of his head. "No and since you are family, I will tell you why. My wife has a weak womb. She is unable to carry children successfully, because of which I refused for any."
Dominique who refused to have children? That might be the first ti I had ever heard a man say sothing like that.
"Why?" I asked him while being mindful of the stairs. "Should you not be concerned about carrying on your na?"
He gave him a smile that seed proud. "The son of my sister and now the son-in-law of my other sister are going to carry my na."
"So, you choose your wife over your bloodline? Not many n are capable of doing that." I knew that my father was not. He had constantly pressure my mother for a boy, and when she was unable to give him that consistently, he turned elsewhere.
"Human n and we are quite different." He answered. "While they value pride, prestige and luxury of wealth. Over everything, we simply value Are bonded and then our family. However, the bond we have without other half remains forever remains only priority we have."
So the won belonging to them were not tortured? I said like most of the ti I was being tortured, but it seed like that is not the case for everyone. But what about Solomon’s beloved?
After a few minutes of silence, I finally saw the opening to the garden, and when we stepped onto the grass, I waited for what was it that Dominique wanted to talk to about.
"I suppose I should get it over with as quickly as possible." He stopped and turned towards . "Congratulations are in order to the young Queen. I cannot be more happy about the fact that it is you who is going to rule beside my Tristan."
I smiled and thanked him with blushing cheeks. "Thank you for that. However, I do believe there would be a number of people who could do the job better than I would."
"No, I do not think so." Dominique softly disagreed.
I frowned. "Why so?"
There were people who were more suited for the role in comparison to . For example, my elder sister, what is the best queen in making that I knew were. I was yet to learn a lot and my idol was supposed to be Anastasia. Without her, I was still just a princess.
He cleared his throat loudly, like he knew that my attention was elsewhere. "You may not know this, but I t your mother once."
I stopped walking. "What?"
He nodded. "My beloved was one of your mothers ladies in waiting. That is how I t Queen Cynthia."
"My mother," I gulped at the thought, "was she aware.."
"Yes." He nodded.
