Our Love Grows

Chapter 22

*Stella's POV*

Today I was going to meet up with my mother and have some mother daughter time. I was so excited. It has been forever since I did something like this with my mother. But I knew there was a few things I wanted to talk to her about. I needed some motherly advice.

"So I will see you later. You have fun with your mother." Brandon told me.

I nodded and said,

"You have fun here. Do something productive."

He laughed at me and left the room. I walked out behind him and went to meet up with my mother. She was waiting for me in the garden. She gave me a smile and said,

" I thought we could start off with breakfast in the garden."

"I think that is a wonderful idea." I said taking a seat across of her.

The breakfast was beautiful. She had all my favorites. I could not have asked for a better mother. We started to walk around the garden and my mother asked,

"What is on your mind dear one?"

I looked up at her and sighed. I knew my mother would figure out that something was wrong and be worried.

"I am worried about a few things." I started with. My mother gave me a look and sat down on one of the benches and patted right next to her. I sat down with her and continued,

"I love that I will be queen but what about my passion for fashion? What will I do about that? I can't do both but I don't want to give up my fashion."

My mother looked at me and said,

"Stella, you can do anything you want. It's alright to have something on the side. Your father and I would never make you give up your dream for fashion. We both know that you will know what to do when need to be done."

I smiled at her. My mother knows me better than I ever will. I was relieved that I did not have to give up on my dreams. This was great. But now all I could think about was Brandon and what he said the other day. I sighed again and my mother said,

"There is a lot on your mind. Isn't there?"

I nodded and said,

"I am worried about Brandon. He admitted to me that he thinks that he won't be a good king. I tried to reassure him but I am not sure if it worked."

"What do you think would help him and reassure him that he will be?" My mother asked.

I did not think about it that way. There could be things that I do to help him with the process of becoming King. I looked to my mother and got an idea. I smiled and asked,

"Is it alright if we cut mother daughter time short? There is something I need to talk to father about."

She nodded and said,

"If it helps my new son-in-law and you then sure thing. We will talk later sweaty."

I got up and went back to the palace. I went down different halls to find my father. I did not know where he would be but right then it hit me. He was going to be in his study all day. I quickly got to his study and knocked.

"Come in." My father said from behind the door.

I opened it and walked in. The room was bigger then I remember. I ignored my thoughts and said,

"Father?"

He looked up and smiled to me and asked,

"Stella what is it that you need? I thought you were spending the day with your mother."

"I was but there is something I need to talk to you about. It's about Brandon." I said.

He gave me a concerning look and I knew what he was thinking. I shook my head and said,

"Not that father. It's just I need you the king to help me out. Could you do that?"

He thought about it and said,

"Yes!"
