Love Agreement With The King

The day finally arrived! Roselyn was going to marry John. The night before she couldn't sleep much from the excitement.

Roselyn wore a casual dress just to reach the location where they were going to wed. When she opened the door of her room, after having changed she found John already there.

John wore an elegant dress with gold ornaments and a blue elegant jacket. He smiled as soon as he saw her, "good morning, wife" he said.

Roselyn offered a smile, when she heard him calling her wife her cheeks blushed.

She took his hand and they both headed toward the dining room.

The table was filled with more food than usual, the tablecloth was of lace and pink. A vase of flowers was placed as a centerpiece in the center of the table.

John's eyes sparkled and a smile curved his lips when his gaze fell on the necklace she wore. It was the one he gave her.

Roselyn followed where his gaze headed to and placed her hand over her chest holding the blue diamond. She poured some tea and placed some biscuits on her dish, while she admired her husband drinking wine as usual. How could he live out of wine and red meat?

After they finished their breakfast Roselyn stood up and walked toward the King who placed his hand around her hips. He leaned closer to her ear to whisper, "you look beautiful."

The blond maid arrived after some minutes carrying few boxes, probably not only Roselyn's dress but also the rings boxes. "Here we are," the maid said out of breath.

The couple nodded before opening the door to reach the carriage.

The carriage that arrived was different from the usual one. It was bigger, more sophisticated, and with lots of flowers that surrounded all the entrance sides.

The coachman stepped out to open the door for Roselyn to enter but John gestured with his hand opening the door for her himself.

In the street some carriages stopped to look at the scene recognizing the adorned carriage, others decided to follow them to wait outside the palace just to catch a glimpse of the just married Royal Couple.

"We have an audience," John commented, shaking his head looking at the row of carriages that followed them.

Roselyn smiled turning around to look through the window when she felt his hand holding her hand. "I just want to let you know that…" he murmured with an oddly shaky voice.

Roselyn turned around looking at him, waiting for him to continue but he suddenly paused. His mouth dried up and no voice came out.

"Are you fine?" Roselyn asked, slightly concerned. But John nodded, "I've never felt better."

The carriage took off in front of the huge Royal Palace. There were two entrances one on the right for the spouse and the other on the left for the King.

"Can't wait to see you again," Roselyn whispered to him and they shared a smile. Few carriages were already parked there waiting for the couple to arrive.

They both took separate directions to reach their changing rooms.

As soon as Roselyn opened the door of her entrance she found a maid standing there and some servants. "Follow me, milady." The maid turned around to walk hastily toward a door at the end of a narrow corridor. One servant opened the door and closed it once Roselyn entered.

Sharon and Abigail were already inside. The room was full of jewelry of every kind and different types of accessories, tiaras, and shoes. It looked like few of the biggest shops have been ransacked to gather there all the best items and accessories of all the time.

"Wow!" Roselyn exclaimed, in disbelief.

"Can you believe this is where all the previous Queens had changed before marrying during the last generations?" Abigail said while her eyes darted around the huge room.

Sharon rolled her eyes, "to be fully honest, I expected better." She commented, folding her arms. Abigail and Roselyn both ignored Sharon's opinion and Roselyn placed the box over a chair while she waited for the blond maid and Kathy to reach them.

It took them few minutes to find their ways toward the changing room and when they finally arrived Roselyn smiled hugely.

"Now that all my bridesmaids are here, I can show you my dress." She said proudly before she reached the box. She delicately loosened the bow and proceeded to open it.

Kathy and Abigail seemed so excited to see the dress that they had walked nearly tilting her head close to the box. They held their breath until Roselyn finally opened it.

Kathy covered her mouth with her hands and Abigail's jaw dropped just to smile widely when Roselyn lifted the dress.

"It's so beautiful," Kathy commented.

"It's perfect for you!" Abigail added.

Roselyn's gaze traveled toward Sharon to hear what she had to say. She had been quiet since Roselyn's arrival. "Good," was all that she managed to say.

"Thank you." Roselyn thanked all of them and she turned around to look at the table dedicated to bracelets. She wondered for a second if she could take and use those jewels but then she remembered she was going to be the Queen of Scotland, which was now her palace too. All that jewelry was hers.

Roselyn pointed at a diamonds silver bracelet and the old maid gently slipped it out from the glass protection that held it to put it on the lady's wrist.

"Thank you," Roselyn mouthed to her.

"is the necklace that you're wearing new?" Sharon questioned, pointing at Roselyn's neck.

"King John gave it to me as a gift for our marriage," Roselyn replied, offering a smile to all the four women that now were admiring her necklace.

"A necklace? Instead of a ring?" Sharon raised her eyebrows, "that's not very traditional."

Roselyn wondered if the tone she perceived was a scolding tone of voice, despite that she provided another smile. She didn't want her sister's jealousy to ruin her day.

"This necklace may not be traditional but it surely is exquisite! I've never seen something more beautiful.." Roselyn replied, receiving a nod from both the maids and Abigail.
