His Worst Mistake

Almond Croissants....

"Having a hard time with work?" Margot asked as she slipped into Troy's room. 

The older man sat in an armchair rubbing his forehead. He looked up at the sound of Margot's voice. 

Troy sighed. 

"I'm sorry....For some reason a petition has been signed for you to return to Palace affairs" Troy said defeatedly. "Don't worry I'll deal with it okay?" Troy said and Margot just stared at him. 

She thought about it and it seemed like she had very negative lingering feelings towards her past position. Still, Margot liked the feeling she got from doing things for the country people. She got this rewarding feeling from seeing how relieved the people were after she resolved matters. She knew this was what fueled her choice to meddle in the legal field. This also came with the downside of criticism when people weren't satisfied but she felt the good times outweighed the bad.

Margot decided not to make an impulsive decision or comment based on a fleeting five minute feeling. She would think about it and then approach the subject later on with Troy. 

Standing to her feet, she made her way to Troy. She kissed the man and then told him her plans to see the children they rescued earlier on. All children needing medical and psychological attention had been stationed at one wing of the hospital. The wing had been cleared and dedicated to the children. Troy had also just approved funding for a new hospital to be built on the land the fourth Institution lay. The large building and its surrounding facilities would be demolished and cleared. The new hospital would stand as a symbolism for new hope within the social care sector of the country. 

Margot hummed into their kiss when Troy's hand slipped under her dress and towards her breasts. 

She pulled away. 

"Not now old man...get some rest. I'll send some food up..." Margot said with a chuckle before turning to exit the room. 

Troy stared at the bump which had now formed on his slacks. He sighed and then turned towards his bathroom to have a cold shower.

"Please round up the kitchen staff for me" Margot said calmly as she spoke to Bess. 

Bess nodded. The two women chatted for a bit more before they parted ways.

"As you all know, we recently uncovered some ...'misdemeanor' within the social care sector. We have hundreds of children now admitted into hospital. I hope to treat them to a home made meal and some sweet snacks. Of course we're going to be dealing with a large number of children. Dietary requirements and restrictions also have to be taken into consideration. This is a huge tasks but I would really appreciate your assistance at this tie. Some of us might have had children or children of relatives within the system and these Institutions. I apologise for this situation but I hope we can come together to do one thing to put a brief smile on their faces."

Silence followed Margot's first words but she continued.

"In advance...I want to thank you for your help with this task." Margot said and then gave a curt nod. 

Silence followed again but in a split second claps and cheers erupted and Margot smiled. 

As the cheers quietened, three women approached Margot. She knew they were the kitchen heads. 

"Thank you for that Your Highness....I have my niece in hospital now. Turns out she was getting whipped." The woman sniffled and then continued "She never showed any signs during our visits and we're so heartbroken but we're so grateful you could bring this all to light." Margot was suddenly pulled into a hug by the older woman. "Thank you so much" the woman cried and Margot smiled. Margot patted the woman on the back.
