Ants are man's best friend

Herick pulled one of the chairs and signaled for her to sit down, and she did, he smiled and took a glass and filled it with wine, and offered it to her.

She took it, and took a sip, she gave a smile, he sat down in front of her and put grape juice in his cup, and also took a sip, and they would stare at each other, until the queen couldn't take her curiosity anymore and he spoke:

"Okay, tell me about the business that made you call me here"

Herick took a sip and got serious, and spoke seriously:

"I am alone in royalty, you know I represent your two daughters now?"

The queen was shocked by such wisdom and eloquence, especially coming from a ten year old child, no one would imagine such a thing, he was basically saying:

"It would be nice if you could help me, after all your daughters' future depends on me"

But the Queen, as if she didn't see it, ignored it and said:

"Their future depends on you, but what do I have to do with it?"

The queen said, smiling and swirling the liquid in her glass. It was as if nothing mattered to her, and it wasn't even her daughters they were talking about, but people she didn't know, she was completely relaxed.

Herick looked at this and sighed, shook his head and said:

"I can't believe my mother-in-law is so mean to her own daughters, I guess I should go to the father-in-law, but since you're here, it looks like the father-in-law isn't missing you, and he must be ~Busy"

When Herick spoke father-in-law, the queen drank all the wine in one gulp, when Herick finished speaking she slapped the table hard.

Herick held things so as not to fall, gave a smile and said:

"What is it? Did I get in your quarrel? Or did I remind you of something that isn't good? Anyway, from your expression, I got it right on the first try, so the queen is young and beautiful, but the King doesn't give her away kindness?"

The queen gritted her teeth and said:

"Sometimes being too smart can get you killed, you know?"

Herick smiled, got up, took the bottle of wine, approached behind her, having only a superficial contact of his abdomen, with her back, and placed it in her glass.

And when she thought Herick was going to walk away, he approached her head, spoke close to her ear, she could feel his breath on her neck, and he said:

"Depends on what level of intelligence you are talking about"

He then returned to her place and the queen was blushing, Herick gave a smile and asked:

"Does the Queen have a fever? Does she need Prince Charming?"

The Queen took another sip of wine, tried to calm down and said:

"My personal life, and my husband's is none of your business!"

Herick smiled ironically, and shook his head in denial, then spoke:

"It concerns me, since you walked through that door, at this time of night, my dear Queen, do not misunderstand me, but in a hostile environment, and without any allies, I am obliged to play chess, and you want be the Queen or a simple play?"

The Queen understood, she fell into the trap, and this guy is using the royal family as a toy, he wasn't considering them as equals, he was just using them, maybe because it was in a hostile environment like he said, but the Queen understood, when intelligence arrives at one level, it really trumps strength.

The Queen was pale, Herick gave a smile and said:

"But you don't have to be a play"

Herick filled his glass with juice, took a sip and said:

"After all, I don't use women as objects, but those guys who think they're powerful are doomed to failure, so why not use them? But I don't want to use you as a piece, there are requirements, after all, nothing is free"

The Queen was tired of so many twists and turns, to end up knowing that she was going back to his hand, so she spoke:

"Ok, I accept the cooperation, I already wanted to accept it, but I really didn't imagine, that if I rejected it, you would have a whole plan devised, really very intelligent and cunning."

Herick got up and came close to her, this time without any tricks, he filled her glass with wine, moved everything away from the table and sat at the table opposite her, looking into her eyes and said:

"You must be feeling lonely, aren't you?"

The Queen was red, but she replied:

"What does a ten year old who is drinking grape juice in front of me know?"

Herick smiled when he heard that, he replied:

"Do you want to know what I know? I tell you, while there is a beautiful girl here suffering threats, being cornered by a child, not many meters from here, there is someone having fun"

The Queen, hearing this answer, became emotional, because it was the reality, while the Queen was threatened, the King slept with two maids, not that polygamy was forbidden, but that King had promised her, never to have any other woman, because she was the only one he loved, little does she know that a large part of the reason the King avoided her was due to four ants.

But that's beside the point, in fact, if she knew that reason she would be angrier than she currently is, because she currently blames herself thinking that she doesn't have enough beauty, almost going into depression, so in everything she can get in her way the royal family, as long as it didn't involve the commoners, it got in the way.

She only had an affinity with her daughters, and her father-in-law who was always kind, and even warned her before the wedding.

She looked at Herick with tears in her eyes and said:

"What? Has it been fun humiliating me?"

Herick wiped a tear that fell and said:

"I don't want to humiliate you, but I think you humiliate yourself"

She started to cry, Herick hugged her and said:

"Do you want to know why I like grape juice so much?"

She interrupted the cry with this question that had nothing to do with the situation, and she thought that she already had nothing to lose, she spoke weakly:

"Yes"

Herick took his glass with grape juice, and said to her:

"Close your eyes"

And she obediently closed it, Herick wet his own lips and tongue, and started a peck, which found no barriers and evolved into a French kiss, a minute into the kiss Herick separated from her and said:

"Do you want help from Prince Charming Queen?"

The Queen did not verbally respond, but her dress was coming down from her body.

Herick is being so proactive due to the side effect of the book.
