Blue eyes staring at me with nothing but happiness and joy in it. Her smile as bright as the day that even just a glance from her smile can turn your frown upside down. She is wearing a plain yellow spaghetti dress and is kneeling on a bed of green grassy meadow with other flowers surrounding her background. The bump on her stomach was very obvious since it was emphasized. On her hands is a pink rose. The kind of rose that is growing in my garden.

I scanned the portrait but then I gasped as my hand imediately covered my mouth when my eyes landed on her neck. The ever colorful stone is illuminating all 6 colors. The vibrant colors of the ring matched the colors of the assorted flowers in the background.

Me.

That is a portrait of me.

A huge six feet portrait of me. And I am standing beside it!

I was now confused. Shocked. Nervous. When I looked for Josephs eyes I can see hope and joy? Why is that? Then Out of the thousand eyes I saw my father, already looking at me with a smile on his face. Then beside him is depicting the opposite. My Mothers eyes are cold as ice and face as stoned as a concrete wall. Looking around to other people I figured out their gaze landed on me. Eyes full of judgement. Hurt. Sadness. Happiness.

Why wouldn't they look at me that way? I was the soon to be queen of the highest ranked kingdom. Then remembering what Joseph said made me swallow hard. The Former King and Queen was around 60 years old. Meaning the new king is about 40 years old and me, I am still on my 20s.

Then all of the sudden everything was spining around. Breathing was hard. As if I was in a tight room with no oxygen in it. I looked for Josephs face but he was not there anymore. As I looked for a familiar face who can actually help me escape from this hellhole. My gaze landed on the smirking stranger. But this time, confusion and worried was all over his face. He was younger. I can just tell. He is just around Josephs age. I was trying to continue to read his expression when I started to see dark circles. Then all went black.

===========================
The Smell of roses lingers in my nose. The familiar scent that I loved since I was a little girl. I smiled at how nostalgic the smell is then slowly opened my eyes.

I was now laying in an unfamiliar bedroom. And all I can say: WHITE

From white bed covers to white curtains and when I stand up decided to look at around. A soft cottony rug is under my feet. And guess what? its WHITE. I am freaked out! Why?

This was the kind of room that I really want. And you know what freaked me even more? Smaller Portraits of me was hanged everywhere within the room. But what was even more unusual is that I felt like I was home. That I belong.

I was cut of from my dreamy state when there was a knock on the door then followed by the sound of a door opening then closing. A lady, dress in a maids attire gave me a warm smile.

Should I smile as well? Do I know her? Should I even be here?

"Good morning and welcome home mylady!" She curtsied. The confused look that I am showing her is as obvious as daylight but when her gaze went down to my stomach. I followed it and I was shocked.

I am wearing a see-through spaghetti night gown that almost hugged my body. I can feel the heat in my face and I can tell I am blushing.

"Uhm- Where am I and who are you?" Rather than be mad or startled she gave me yet again a warm smile. Not those forced smile I get to receive from my Mother. The real ones.

"I am sorry! How rude of me. My name is Magenta and I am gonna be your personal maid and you are still in the Heavens Kingdom. You passed out last night. Everyone panicked most specially from the state you are in so- " Wait what?!

"What do you mean from the state I am in? Are you telling me they all know?!... That Im.. That I am Pregnant?" She gave me a confused look then nod.

"At first everyone was clueless but when your fiance arrived from his trip he came rushing towards you.." her tone full of kindness and worries made me smile but when all the things she said was absorbed in my mind. I began to panic. Again.

"My fiance? I don't have one yet and-" I was cut off from talking when Joseph came in my room without even knocking. Typical Joseph.

"Excuse me but Males are not allowed inside unless you are the King. But since YOU obviously is not him then I suggest you leave, please." Gone was the amused and soft Magenta and is now replaced with a serious one.

Joseph rolled his eyes and just ignored Magenta. "It's okay Magenta, he is my cousin he can stay.." I gave her a warm smile. It took her a few seconds before she sighed then head towards the door.

"I have already prepared your clothes for you inside your bathroom. After you are done please proceed to the dining room. Everyone is waiting for you there. Including your fiance my lady." Then she walked out.

"Close your mouth! Wouldn't want flies to enter. Now go inside and take a bath. You reek. I will wait for you outside. Hurry!!" I can tell from the excitement in his tone that I honestly forgotten about me finally meeting my unknown fiancee.

It took me 30mins to get ready. I walked out of my NEW ROOM and true to his words. Joseph is waiting for me there.

"No wonder you are so populer here in the Kingdom. Your portraits are everywere! Whoever this King is, he sure is truly and madly involve with you!" He said with amusement yet respect for the King. Joseph and I assumed that he is old enough to be paired with me but since he has already broadcast to all royalties about us being together and me being pregnant. I have no choice but to accept my faith. I am doomed!

"Wait a second. Magenta mentioned that the King arrived just in time when I fainted. Didn't you get to see him?" He shake his head telling me no. I dropped the topic then went to follow him towards the dining hall.
