Time In The Tower

Quest to have a baby

"King Frederic and Queen Arianna, more people come to the castle doors starving and looking for shelter," Willow, the queen's sister, said worriedly.
"King Frederic and Queen Arianna, more people come to the castle doors starving and looking for shelter," Willow, the queen's sister, said worriedly.

"Send them to the summer palace. There they will have shelter and a hot meal," Frederic commanded. Willow glided out the throne room, leaving the king and queen all alone. 

"Fred, we need a child. King Fergus offered us gold and crops if we promise a child of ours marries a child of his," Arianna voiced. "There's a garden that grows magic flowers, and it's owned by a witch. If we leave today, we'll have a daughter by the end of next summer," Arianna told the king.

"Cooks, make the queen some herbal tea and bring it up to her chambers," the king commanded them.

Ten minutes later, a cook brought the tea to the queen's chambers and quickly scurried back to the kitchen. King Frederic placed the magic flower into the tea and waited for it to dissolve.

"Drink, My Love," the king ordered the queen, placing the cup near her mouth. Queen Arianna greedily drunk the tea.

"The queen gave birth to a daughter. She wants to see you," Willow told the king. Frederic slowly pushed open the door separating him from his wife and daughter. 

Laying on the bed the queen looked tired but still breath-takingly beautiful. She was admiring their daughter lovingly. As soon as she heard the door open, she looked up at her husband. 

"She's beautiful. We should name her Rapunzel," the king whispered to his queen.
