The Princess's Affair

Chapter Thrity-Four

*Amelia*

My maids came in and prepared me for dinner. I wore this dress that was so tight around my wait, stomach and lower back but flowed freely at my feet but my breast were on full display. This dress was a light, silver green that was bedazzled with many diamonds and crystal.

I notice a change in both Marina and Claudia. Marina seemed more secretive and Claudia seemed more open but angry together. They placed my small tiara on my head and finished my make up. I'm surprise I can move after the delivery.
"Has anyone checked on Noni?" I asked.
"I will check Amelia." Claudia said but I need to know what was going on.
"Uh, no. Marina will you go please." She nodded then left.

Claudia was alone with me and now I think or assume that something was going on.
"Claudia, you have this serious glow of anger and passion on you. What troubles you?"
"Nothing, Mia. There is nothing to be concern of."
"Even if you have the scent of the King on you?" She was silent and paused. She turned to me and looked at me strange and kinda jealous. "Are you having an affair with the King?" She walked in front of me then sat on the couch.

"Does is bother you?" she asked devilishly.
"To know that one of my lady maids is sleeping with the King, what is there to be jealous. He provided me with a child and made me his Queen."
"Of course he provided with much but does he ever come to chamber in the middle of the night and give the rough, deep pleasure?"
"I may not receive that pleasure he gives you but know that as your Queen, I can sentence you to death for the crime unlawful seduction."
"Oh unlike you and Sir Jacob?" My heart suddenly stopped and my breath was shattered.

"Yes, I know of you and Jacob. God, the sounds you make when he fucks you. Ooh, he must be really good."
"A word spoken about this and you will be trialed to death."
"My death. Or yours?" She walked up from the couch and left my room. I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself. What has happen to me? I don't know who I am anymore, a Queen or a whore?

I walked out my room and to the grand dining room. I walked in silence with millions of things on my mind; my life, my daughter, my love for Jacob and...

The door quickly opened and entered Michael. What does he want now? Oh, how I would love to just hurt him now but he seemed a little...excited?
"Michael what is it?"
"Your Father has BIG news for you!" He grabbed my hand and I felt this burn in our touch.

We entered and I saw a sight I didn't want to see. Jacob with that lady from the ball of my wedding? What is going on? Our appearance stopped everyone's conversation and they bowed to us even my Father.

"My King and Queen. Amelia." Father said walking towards me and grabbing my hands. I have never seen his face like this is a while, as if a son of his was doing something extraordinary.
"Father, what is this occasion?"
"You will soon know. You will. Very soon." He pulled me towards Jacob and the lady then my heart suddenly began to race so hard.

"Lady Alicia, may I introduce my daughter and Queen of this wonderful kingdom." She smiled and bowed to me.
"Your Majesty, it is pleasure to finally meet you. Your Father nor Jacob couldn't stop talking about you."
"Oh I hope good things."
"Oh very good. It's an honor to meet the woman who has the heart and soul of a King." Those words were once Jacobs and now they entered his.

Jacob looked kinda of disappointed and furious. I looked at him the entire night and wondered what was on his mind. God, how I missed him. Especially his kiss, his touch, his pleasure, his...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention?" My father announced himself and holding his glass of wine. "Tonight we are here to celebrate for a very special friend of ours. He was once a street sold in the market and now he comes a Lord. Lord Jacob." He began to clap and the crowd clapped along with him.

"He has been a true friend to me and my daughter, your Queen and to the King. Now we have even bigger news." Bigger news? "As you know there was another marriage concealed by the King and I to bond Lord Jacob and Lady Alicia. And now we the bond has been sealed to wed Lord Jacob and Lady Alicia." The audience cheered but I sat quietly. I didn't even clap, let alone, breathe. I just wanted to faint.

Jacob and Alicia stood up together holding hands and suddenly shared a kiss. I got up from my throne and just walked away. Once I got to the grand door, I ran outside to the garden. People and servants watched me as I ran but I didn't care. I came to the sight of the lake and just fell.

My vision seemed to fade to black just looking up at the sky. Only seeing the moon, no stars. I reached up as if I can touch the moon but a shadow came over to me and held my hand.
"Why did you run?"
