JUNIPER DID IN FACT SEEM infatuated with the king. as they danced they never once looked away from each other. but that all came to an end. the party had ended and it was time to say goodbye to their guests.
as they stood outside together, people bowing and saying their goodbyes and congratulations juniper felt weird. she never once thought she'd have someone or anyone who'd bow down to her, someone like her.
as she stood there she caught sight of her cousin. "manuel!" she shouted as he approached her and george bowing. "oh come on manuel, i will not be seeing you for quite some time. give your couisn a hug." juniper demands as she tries to go in for a hug.
"i am afraid i can not, your majesty." emmanuel says as junipers stomach drops. "what ever do you mean cousin." she says more as a statement. "i wish you and the king the best, congratulations dear junie." he says as he walks off.
juniper wanted to run after him and give her cousin a big hug, but she could not. before she could get a word out to george, a beautiful brown skinned woman and a fairly old man approached them, bowing.
"good evening your majesty. i am lady danbury, and this is my husband, lord danbury." she introduced herself. juniper kept it inside but she would definitely ask later how that marriage came to be, her being so beautiful and him being well... him.
"nice to meet you lady danbury, i have heard you are on my court, i will be sure to call on you soon." juniper says smiling to the lady. soon most were gone as juniper turned to george. "so what now?" she asks as he smiles.
"we go to buckingham house." he simply with a smile on his face. as they were in the carriage george announced he had a surprise for juniper bt she hated surprises. on the other hand in the back of her mind she was crawling with fear.
she'd heard lots about wedding nights, but never really what or how anything happened. all she knew was that the husband and wife spent it together, like her and george. as they arrived juniper took george's hand as he led her up.
"look! i have had it renovated just for you." he states as she slowly walks up the stairs. "brimsley will take care of you now, i am off to kew." he says as juniper turns to him. "kew?" she asks.
"yes, kew." he repeats. "i thought we were supposed to spend our wedding night.. together?" she asks confused as george's face tenses up. he then begins to walk faster up the stairs as she chases after him.
"george i can not keep up! hold on." she pleads as she runs after him. "i'm heading to the bedroom, is that not where you wanted me?" he asks sarcastically. "no?" she says as a literal question.
"i just- i just want to know why i will be here and you will be there. aren't we married?" she asks as he huffs. "it will be easier." he mumbles. "easier for whom, george?" she asks, sass coursing through her voice.
"for the both of us." he states. "you can't just decide-." juniper begins. "i can decide! i have decided! i am your king!" he yells as juniper jumps a bit, startled. she then comes back into her right kind as she looks at him.
"i am sorry. i thought you were just george. forgive me, your majesty." she says as she slightly bows before him. "june.." he says as she looks at him. "may i withdraw your majesty, or did you wish to say something else to me?" she asks as he takes a slight few steps forward.
without thinking juniper unconsciously takes a few steps back as george looks at her. "june- juniper this is for the best." he says surprised and slightly taken back by her actions. "of course, your majesty." she says once more as he sighs before quickly walking out.
juniper felt a lump in her throat as if she was about to cry. she didn't want anyone to see her cry. so she picked her extravagant dress she had on and rushed to the room she knew belong to her.
as she began to take off the dress and undo the corset she heard a knock at the door. "yes?" she calls out softly as she throws the corset on the floor. "are you alright your majesty?" it was brimsley.
"i'm fine, brimsley. do not worry about me. get some sleep." juniper says as she hears sliding at her door. "i will be seated hear, if you would wish to talk your majesty." brimsley says. juniper then slid on her nightgown and sighed as she went and sat in the floor, leaning on her door.
"please call me juniper. your majesty makes me seem old." juniper says as she hears brimsley softly laugh. "i am afraid i cannot, your majesty." brimsley says as she scoffs. "oh come on! how about your call me juniper only around me, and your majesty and all that boring stuff when we're around people?" juniper asks as she hears brimsley shuffle around.
"that sounds good to me juniper." he says as she smiles softly before getting up and laying in her big side spacious bed that was filled with blank space.
