Love Agreement With The King

"Do you fancy someone in particular? Because if not I can make you meet a few of the best Lords in town. They would be honored to get the acquaintance of such an exquisite lady like you."

After hearing what Jade said, Sharon placed her hand over her chin in a pensive expression.

"I do… fancy someone." Her eyes stopped for a second to gaze at the King just to dart back to the woman's direction. "But I am willing to meet more people and see how things go. Maybe It will turn out into incredible turns of events!" Sharon replied.

"Perfect then!" Jade commented, smiling shyly.

Roselyn wondered however that woman would help her sister to find a suitor, did John ask her to? So that she would stop obstructing their relationship? If so she wouldn't be surprised knowing John's odd ways of fixing things.

First courses were served and the lunch proceeded well. Before cutting the cake the Royal couple headed toward the dance floor. A man began to play the piano and John stretched his hand for Roselyn to take it before walking upon the dancefloor.

"How does it feel," John asked as he took a step forward to start the dances.

"to be the Queen?" he continued while he swirled around her.

Roselyn smiled, "It feels… weird."

"Weird in a positive way?" John asked.

"Yes. In the best possible way."

John made Roselyn twirl around just to push her closer to him by her hips. Lord Victor and Abigail joined the Royal Couple on the ball floor.

After the piano played few more songs the couples stepped outside the ballroom to join the table and cut the cake.

The cake was the classiest cake Roselyn had ever seen before. It had 12 layers, it was all white with floral gold decoration and little ornaments.

Roselyn placed the knife on the bottom of the cake while John helped her to handle the knife as she pressed it down to cut each layer.

After cutting some slices, she placed the first slice on her dish while one of the maids continued to cut the cake and then handed each slice to the guests.

John sat down and gestured with his hand tapping on his knee to indulge Roselyn to sit on his lap. Roselyn didn't hesitate and gently sat on him.

At first, she made sure not to sat full weight on him by keeping her foot onto the ground and balancing the weight. She was concerned he may not be able to hold the weight but as soon as he noticed her concerns he pushed her closer.

"Do I hurt you?" Roselyn asked embarrassed but John giggled at her shyness.

"You have to get used to it, darling." He whispered.

"To what?" She asked but he didn't reply limiting himself to hint a smirk, which was still enough to make his lady's cheeks flush abruptly.

Sharon was sat on the opposite side of the table and was staring at them with a mad look on her face.

Jade reached the happy couple and smiled at both of them.

"May I have a chat with John a minute?" Jade asked Roselyn who nodded before standing up from his lap, "sure."

John stood up and smiled at his wife before walking with the woman.

"So you read Sharon's mind?" John asked, as soon as they were far enough not to be heard.

Jade nodded, "yes, and what I read is not very pleasuring. She had bad thoughts about you and Roselyn. She wants to be the one to marry you at the expense of Roselyn."

John wasn't surprised, considering all the attention she was paying to him. "What are her plans?" he asked.

Jade raised an eyebrow leaning closer to whisper: "She was wondering where the Lord was, and she had been waiting for him to show up during the whole ceremony."

John cupped his chin, in a pensive expression. "Was it Lord David?"

The woman's eyes widened as she recalled the name, "yes it was!"

John's eyebrow frowned, wondering if Sharon knew more than she had to know.

"However," Jade's gaze fell on Roselyn who was looking at them from afar, "I noticed I can't read Roselyn's mind."

John's jaw tensed but Jade intervened as soon as she read his preoccupation through his mind, "I don't need to read her mind. I can see that she truly cares about you from the way she looks at you."

John's eyes met Jade's eyes, as she continued, "don't let her go. You both need each other."

John nodded smiling at the woman. "Thank you."

Jade smiled, "go to her now before she misses you."

John chuckled before walking back to Roselyn.

"Is everything okay?" Roselyn asked quite concerned as soon as he reached her.

"Yes, is the cake good?" John hinted a smile seeing how she managed to finish two slices during his absence.

"It was exquisite!" Roselyn exclaimed and they both shared a laugh.

After about one hour all the guests gathered to greet the just married couple and to conclude the marriage. Abigail embraced Roselyn tightly, "I can't believe you're the Queen of Scotland now!"

It was the first time she heard someone call her like that and it was weird, although she didn't feel different from the days before. Yet as soon as she heard that name, a shiver ran through her spine, acknowledging that her life would change from now on.

'Queen of Scotland,' she repeated to herself mentally. A thrill of anxiety ran through her veins as she realized the many responsibilities she will have to take care of.. 'Queen Roselyn married to King John', she smiled uncontrollably, she liked how that sounded.
