Every maid that was following her highness left awith her. They followed her to the end of the hallway after which they disappeared from my line of sight, leaving me standing five steps away from the window wondering what she had told me about.
The queen obviously knew what effects would her words leave on my heart and mind. She knew what game she was playing at because it was obvious that the first requirement for a Queen to be respected and loved by everyone including her own husband and also, she was to give birth to not one but two male children, if not more. So that they had heirs and spares.
Even though my mother was the third child in line to the throne of my grandfather, the Crown had somehow fallen on her head and she was named The Queen as she chose my father to be her husband and had been blessed with three daughters as children.
