Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 20: A WIFE'S DUTIES

After Fergal finished reading the book he looked at Setherian and said.

-Does your wife really possess this magic?

-Yes, I have checked it myself.

-How could King Quin let someone so valuable go?

-I've told you before, the king thought she possessed no magic.

-I guess that was lucky for us, with her we could win the war.

-Don't get too excited, her magic hasn't awakened yet.

-I know, but...- Sirius thought about something and then continued- But when her power awakens she will become a double-edged sword, she can either help us win the war or be our undoing.

-I am aware of that, so far she has remained calm since she hasn't had any power, but we don't know if she will remain the same once her power awakens.

-I think it would be best to leave things as they are- said Fergal and Setherian shook his head.

-She can heal Roman's injury, I want my brother back to his old self.

-But it's too dangerous, she's the daughter of our enemy.

-I know that, but I'm still willing to take that risk.

Fergal knew that Setherian always felt guilty about Romano's injury, he had sought countless ways to cure the injury, yet none had worked. Fergal got up from the couch and handed the book back to him.

-I will go to meet your wife, I will start with her teaching as soon as possible.

-Thank you friend.

Fergal went to look for the princess, he asked several of the maids where she was, but none of them knew how to answer him. He met Romano in the hallway.

-Hello Fergal, what are you doing in the palace?

-I came to see your brother, he asked me to be in charge of teaching the principles of magic to the princess, but no matter how much I ask, no one knows where she is.

-She does not live in the palace, there are very few people who know where to find the princess.

-She doesn't live in the palace?

-That's right, she lives in a small house in the farthest part of the palace, if you want I can guide you?

-I would be very grateful if you would do that.

-Then follow me.

Romano guided Fergal to Rebecca, that day she was working in her orchard, Fergal stared at the beautiful redhead in front of him and asked Romano.

-Is she the princess?

-Yes.

-And this is where she lives?

-Yes.

-Why is the princess living this way?

-Apparently she likes to live here.

Romano approached the princess.

-Hello Rebecca, this is Fergal- said Romano.

-Hello princess- greeted Fergal.

Rebecca felt uncomfortable in front of Fergal, he was looking at her from head to toe as the others used to do, she hid her muddy hands behind her back and answered.

-It is a pleasure to meet you.

-I've been looking for the princess for a while now, I'll be her magic teacher.

Rebecca remembered that the king had told her that she should learn the principles of magic, but she considered it useless since she did not possess magic.

-I do not possess magic, I do not think it is necessary for me to learn such a thing- she said to Fergal.

-It is an order from the king, it doesn't matter if he considers it necessary or not, he must do it.

-But...- Rebecca tried to say but Fergal interrupted her.

Today I just wanted to introduce myself princess, tomorrow we will start with your teaching, I will come at mid-morning, make sure you are in the palace.

Rebecca nodded, Fergal said goodbye and then left.

-Although Fergal is a serious guy, he is a good person, he is also a good teacher, I'm sure you will learn a lot with him- said Romano to Rebecca.

-I don't know why his majesty wants me to learn the principles of magic, what's the use of learning that when you don't possess magic.

-You never know, maybe you do possess magic but it hasn't awakened yet.

-I have never heard anything like that, all those who possess magic begin to develop their power from the age of 6, it is not that my magic has not awakened, it is simply that I do not possess such a thing.

Romano wanted to tell Rebecca that she was wrong, that she did possess magic, but if his brother had not told him he did not intend to do so, so he remained silent, that day he stayed to watch Rebecca take care of her plants, then they both shared some snacks. The butler went to fetch Rebecca during the afternoon and took her to the palace, Romano wondered why they had gone to fetch her so early, normally they always went to fetch her in the evening to prepare her and take her to the king's chambers.

The butler seeing the princess' clothes stained with mud asked the maids to give her a bath and change her clothes, then they took her to a room where there was a middle-aged lady, she introduced herself to Rebecca bowing, which surprised both Rebecca and the maids.

-It is a pleasure to meet you your majesty, I am Lady Patricia Stratus, I will be teaching your majesty.

-Thank you very much- answered Rebecca shyly.

-Let's start the class, please take a seat your majesty.

The maids served tea and pastries, then Lady Patricia ordered the maids to leave, once alone Lady Patricia gave her a soft smile, that was the first time Rebecca felt that someone did not see her with hatred or contempt, but on the contrary, that she was treated as a queen, since Lady Patricia had never called her princess as all the others did, reminding her that although she had married the king she was not considered a queen.

-The butler told me that I should give you the education of a wife, I hope your majesty will feel comfortable with me, if you have any doubts or questions about what I will teach you I hope your majesty will ask freely.

-Thank you.

Lady Patricia took out a book and said to him.

-I will teach you all you need to know about the duties and obligations of a wife in the bedroom, have you ever been taught anything on this subject?

-No, but I have read some books.

-Your Majesty could you tell me what you have learned.

-Of course, in the books they said that if a couple kiss and sleep together they will have a baby.

Patricia felt some tenderness listening to the princess, she smiled softly and told her.

-For a couple to have a baby, something else is needed, your majesty, kisses and hugs are essential for the intimacy of a couple, but they are not enough to create a baby.

-Really?- Asked Rebecca curiously.

-That's right your majesty, kisses are just the beginning, today I will explain you as detailed as possible how babies are created, so pay close attention and as I had mentioned before if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask them.

-Okay.
