Adopted

Eighteen Years Later....

Prince Damien the Queen wants to see you in her chambers....The maid announced.

"He nodded and raised his hand in the air, indicating her to leave..

"Dishon...he called out. My robes!!!! he yelled.

"Oo will you cut it out,no need to yell like that.

"My father sent you here for a purpose but it seems...*sigh* he let out a weird sigh. I will just call for him today and tell him how useless you are.

"Really??? you've been threatening me with this same thing for years now. He smirked. Come on go meet your step-mom.

"Hey easy boy someone might here." "Yh sure.

"Now get going".

"I thought you were my bodyguard? Damien asked with a quirked brow. "Oo yh after you"

Damien made a facial expression that says "Really".

Both men walked out of Damien's chambers and as usual the maid's were drooling as they made their way to the Queen's quarters. Damien was used to the attention but Dishon loved it.

Dishon will normally spare the maid's a glance and wink at them. That's act of his drives them nuts. Most of them faint from too much excitement. Damien wasn't that type. He never paid attention to them all look their way.

"Love the attention huh... Damien blurted while they made their way. "It's not my fault that I'm handsome. "Yh you're right,but that beautiful face is gonna fade out when I land a blow on it.

"Dishon's facial expression changed cause he knows Damien is capable of doing what he said.

Finally they were infront of the Queens Chambers. The soldiers guarding the door opened it for them and ushered them to enter.

The maid's bow immediately when they saw Damien enter. "Her Majesty is in her bedroom Your highness..laura the Queen's lady in waiting spoke.

Dishon you can wait I will go see her and come. Dishon nodded. Laura please lead the way...he ordered.

They arrived infront of the Door made of cypress wood and adorned with expensive fabric representing royalty. Laura opened the door and usered Damien to enter.

The Queen turned swiftly. "Damien my Son, it's been long since you visited my chambers.

"I know mother. He walked up to her and kissed her knuckles.

"So why did you call for me? He let her hold unto him as he walked her towards her personal garden. "Come let's have tea. "Have you eaten your breakfast son? "No Mother.

"Damien I've always warned you about this.

Laura... Yes your majesty..she came running in with her bowed head. Ask the maid's to serve us breakfast.

"Mother, have a seat first...he pulled out a chair for her to sit before he sat on a chair closer to hers. A few minutes later the maid's walked in with the food.

The bowed respectfully and served them. "You know my son doesn't like his tea with milk,so why is milk inside the tea you're serving him...the Queen yelled.

I'm sorry your Majesty, this will never happen again. I happen to be new here so I'm not aware of this. "It's okay Mother, I will have the juice.

"But Damien... Mother he cut her. You may leave, he ordered. Thank you...the maid bowed before taking her leave.

"Damien you know very well that I'm your adopted mother. "Of course I know that, I really do care, love,see and respect you as my real mother.

"I know Son. I just wanted you to know that know one apart from the late King your father and I know this secret. This is how it began...

The throne deserves an heir, your Majesty. I suggest you marry another woman cause it's clear your Queen can't give you a child.

Thank you all, I know what to do. The meeting is adjourned. King Arthur avoided their murmurs and walked out of the throne room.

He made his way to the Queens Chambers. Leave us, he ordered the maids that were dressing her up.

Your Majesty, what brings you here?

Veronica there's a problem, the council wants me to get another wife.

"What?? you know you can't do that. The curse. "Exactly I'm totally confused. "Don't you think it's time for us to adopt a child?

"But Veronica, even if we adopt a child, the curse will affect him too. "But we have no other choice now,we can't tell the council that you're impotent.

"The son I will adopt will also be impotent. "Don't worry we will figure out something. leave everything to me, I will get the child. Just announce it to the council that I'm pregnant.

"My demon friend will help me".
