King Henri and Queen Anna were attending a concert by the renowned lute player Vincent de la Mere. They had invited him to perform in the Spring Palace to celebrate the King’s marriage to Anna.

Anna was sitting on her throne wearing a tiara of white diamonds. She had a huge smile on her face as she listened to the singer string his lute.

“How do you like him, sweetheart?” Henri said bending over towards her.

Anna didn’t say anything but watched as de la Mere strung the lute. She closed her eyes when he hit her favorite note.

“I like him very well,” She finally answered.

Henri picked up her hand and placed a kiss on it. Anna smiled at him. Suddenly her hand went to her stomach.

“What is it?” Henri asked.

“I felt the babe move,” Anna whispered.

Henri threw back his head and laughed. “My son is strong. This one will send me to my grave.”

The music stopped and the rest of the court applauded. Anna joined in.

“My wife heartily enjoys your songs, de la Mere,” Henri called to the singer.

Vincent bowed to the Queen. “I am glad that it pleases Her Majesty.”

“How would you like to be the personal singer to the Queen?” Henri said.

Anna looked surprised at this. She smiled at her husband before turning back to de la Mere.

“If it pleases Your Majesty,” the singer said before bowing again.

Anna sat back in her throne, extremely happy. She didn’t notice when Ambassador Felipe Teodemiro approached the King with his wife, Marceline.

“Your Majesty,” Felipe said bowing.

The King nodded at Felipe.

“His Majesty Augustine inquires about his niece.”

Anna turned her head towards the ambassador.

“Tell His Majesty that my daughter is fine,” Henri said with a warning in his voice.

“His Majesty would like for the princess to write him. He says it would please him greatly.”

“Why so he can spy on the Mondian Court?” Anna growled.

Felipe looked over at the Queen and gave her a small smile. “Of course not, Your Majesty. He just wants to have a relationship with his niece.”

Anna rolled her eyes. “Oh I’m sure he does.”

Marceline smirked beside her husband. Anna saw this and opened her mouth to reprimand the woman, but her husband picked up her hand again.

“Tell His Majesty that I will talk to my daughter. I’m sure she’ll be pleased to write her uncle.”

The Teodemiros bowed and backed away. Anna snatched her hand away from the King.
“What are you thinking?” Anna spat at the King.

Henri frowned at her. “What do you mean?”

“Therese’s brother will only poison the princess against you. You shouldn’t let her write to him.”

Henri waved his hand. “Marie is only eight. I will have someone read the letters before they are sent off.”

Anna opened her mouth to say something else, but Henri placed a finger on her lips.

“Peace be sweetheart. You should enjoy yourself. All these people are here to celebrate our marriage.”

Anna frowned but didn’t say anything else. But she would bring this topic back up again. It would be one of her duties as Queen she promised to herself.

I get the feeling that singer's going to come back and bite her in the ass. As will this fight.

I feel this might end badly for everyone. :/
