Lucinda 's POV :

" Hannah, how's Victorique doing?" I ask a maid named Hannah  "She's still locking herself in her room, your majesty,  sometimes when I pass by her room I can hear her crying " She replied with a sad face.

"Oh, thank you for the information, Hannah "  I smiled a sad smile at her as I make my way to my daughter's room.

"Victorique, sweetheart, can i come in?"

I ask as I knock on her door  "Y-yes.. mo-mommy "

I heard her shaky voice reply from the other side of the door, I know she had been crying, she has locked up herself inside her room for a week.

It's all because of  my husband's death,  the king. But I can't let myself fall into a pit of despair,  I need to be strong, for Victorique. He died because of his food being poisoned. 

When I got inside, I saw her sitting on her bed, curled up into a ball, hugging a picture of her father. The sight broke my heart.  I approach her as I hug her tightly, afraid to let go.

"Darling,  please come out, do you think daddy will want to see you like this?" I ask her, loosening my hug around her, but she did't response, instead she just hug the picture tighter. I smiled sadly at her.

"Sweetie, you will have to be a good example for your little brother here,  right?" I said as I rub my stomach gently. Did I mention that I was nine months pregnant?

" Y-yes.." she finally response. "M-mommy..." she called me while sniffing a little  "Hmmm... what is it, sweetie? " I ask as I stroke her hair.

  "What's my brother's name going to  be?" She ask me with those curious big brown teary eyed. "Hmmm... Why don't you choose it? " I suggested

"R-really?  I c-can choose it? " she ask excitedly, I smiled brightly at her while stroking her flowing golden hair.

"Of course you can, he is your brother"

I replied to her excitement  "T-than how about.....  hmmm.... Oh I got it! H-how... about Victor? "  she said with a small smile  "It settled than, your brother's name will be Victor "
