Servant of Jotunheim

Hungry

The following day, I meet privately with Princess Milea and she is glad to see that I am alright upon hearing what had occurred on the night of the celebration.

I however, am intrigued to discover what exactly had occurred between herself and the pretty servant girl, Kiara, that same night after I had left them alone together.

Me: "You must tell me everything. I have been dying to know".

Milea: "Oh, you mean with the lovely servant girl?" she giggles.

Me: "Do not tease me, Milea! We mustn't keep secrets from one another".

Milea: "We had a drink together, as you well know, and then we simply spoke for a while" she dances around the subject.

Me: "And then?"

Milea: "And then we...you know?" she giggles.

Me: "I am afraid that you may need to elaborate slightly more than that" I laugh.

Milea: "We made love for the first time. I must say, it was rather wonderful" she beams with joy.

Me: "I knew it! Have you seen her again since that night?"

Milea: "Not yet. We both felt absolutely terrible after we heard what had happened with King Naris. I felt as though it was partly my fault that you felt the need to leave my chambers early that evening".

Me: "Do not blame yourself. It happened much later after the King and I had a senseless argument. I returned to my own chambers and found Naris outside on the balcony next to mine. I foolishly went ahead with the plan and soon regretted that decision".

Milea: "I thank the gods that you made it back to us in one piece".

Me: "Enough of that now, let us get something to eat. I am absolutely famished".

Milea: "We have not long since eaten lunch? You will not be able to fit into those fine gowns for much longer if you continue eating constantly" she jests.

Me: "I am certain the King will love me even if I were to gain a little weight through these stressful times".

Silently, she sits there looking at me for a moment with curiosity in her eyes.

Milea: "May I ask, when was the last time you bled?" she asks suddenly.

Me: "I cannot recall? Possibly before I returned to Asgard".

Milea: "That was weeks ago! How many times have you and the King been intimate since you returned from Midgard?"

Me: "I have honestly lost count".

Milea: "Is there any possibility that you could be with child?"

Me: "I suppose it is entirely possible, but surely I would have had signs of sickness by now?"

Milea: "Perhaps you should consider visiting the healing room? Just to be certain".

Me: "I do not wish to go alone".

Milea: "I will come with you if that will make you feel more at ease. Unless you wish for me to go and inform the King?"

Me: "No, I would not want to worry him".

In spite of everything else that I had experienced in my life recently, I believe that this was the most nervous I had ever been.

Could it be true?
