Chapter Six// A Date?

A/n: I'm here!

~Rose~

I splutter. The wine I just drank wanting to come back up.
"Excuse me?"

Alicent licked her lips and repeated what she said. In my eyes Her lips moved but to my ears no sound came out.

A marriage alliance. Does this princess want a marriage alliance with me? Absolutely Not.

I sat back in my chair and shook my head "Absolutely Not" My ears finally unclogged as if I just came back up from under water and could Finally hear everything around me again.

Alicent shrugged. Her lips turned downwards as her shoulders lifted and she moved her hands outward as if showing something.

Alicent stood up from the table. Grabbing ahold of her dress ready to leave "You Did Not give me a chance to finish what I had else to say but If That's your final answer, Then I'll be on my way it was good to talk with you, your majesty"

I scooted my chair back, pushed off the seat handles, and Turned to face Alicent who was paused by the door.

She looked over her shoulder at me. Her green eyes met mine as that devious smirk was displayed on her lips.

Her figure was- Stop Rose Stop thinking of that, You Can't.

"Tomorrow" I announce "Tomorrow We will discuss What else you Had to say, I would like to hear it"

Why was I agreeing to Listen to her? I should've sent her on her way as soon as she said anything about a marriage alliance But here I was agreeing to hear her out tomorrow.

The woman turned to face me again. Her head tipped "A Date?"

I Laughed My head falling backwards. This short little princess really thought I was referring to a date.
"No, but If that's what you want to call a simple brunch and it pleases You then be my Guest"

———The Next Day—

The next day came around in a blur I was awoken by the taste of my own salty tears.

I started my day early, before even going to do my Duties I went to see Alessandra.
Something was just telling me to go see her and I did Bringing her fresh flowers.

Grass had grown finely on top of her grave now. I had decorated her grave with little things I knew she might have appreciated.

I added a silver Crown representing her still royalty. It is small in size and has just the right dimensions to fit exactly on top of Alessandra's now Black marbled headstone that reads:

𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐀
𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐘𝐒𝐓
𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐇.

𝟏𝟖𝟒𝟎-𝟏𝟖𝟕𝟓

At the bottom of the headstone read a short paragraph that made me cry but also laugh every time I read it.

𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏, 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝑫𝒂𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 －𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝐴𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑟𝑎 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ－𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔.

Next to the headstone was a tiny figurine of Saphira I had it made not too long ago by one of the makers in the towns. I paid the boy good money for it. I also had one made for Myself I kept on my desk. I missed my daughter.
