The Kings Heir

The Fitting

"Your Majesty, you need to finish your breakfast and head into your closet, your tailors are here." Says a maid as I sit at the dining table alone.

"Thank you for telling me." I said quietly as I played with my food, I just pushed it away from me and stood up. Parker and Lincoln we screamed at yesterday outside of my door once I was in there last night. They haven't left my side since then, they even stand in every room besides my own now. I apologized immensely to them and they eventually threatened me if I didn't stop. I head back to my room and walk into my closet.

"Your majesty! We are behind on time, we have to rush!" A woman shouts pulling me further, she pulls me up onto a stool and asks me to take my clothes off. She walks over with fabrics and sets them against my skin inspecting them.

"Red it is." She says happily pulling the velvet red fabric away and dropping the others.

"Get her waist size, also the size of her breast, and height!" She yells walking away with the fabric and pinning it to a board. Ladies rush over me pushing my arms up to measure me correctly. The ladies rush over to the main lady with the board as they frantically right down my size.

"Alright, you may go, come back around 1, your dress will be done, then it just needs to be fitted." Says the lady, I nod my head and shut the closet door as the cut fabric and take measurements. I take a shower and when I come out of the bathroom, a light yellow dress ankle length is laying out on my bed along with white flats. I dry my hair and put on the nicely fitted dress, I braid my hair tightly and walk out of my room greeted by my security.

"Have you guys eaten anything?" I ask them, they shake there head.

"Let's go, you need energy to guard me, is he still punishing you?"

"Yes." Parker says weakly. I nod my head and take them to the kitchen.

"Get these two, three bags of blood, now," I demand once reaching the kitchen.

"But your Majesty, the King said-"

"I'll deal with the King, get them food." I tell the chef, he nods his head quickly snapping at other people to get it who come rushing back in with large cups of blood. I hand them there cups and they quickly swallow all of the blood, burping after the finished the cup.

"Thank you." Lincoln says and Parker nods his head in agreement as we walk to the garden.

"Of course." Parker and Lincoln leave me alone as I sit by the little pond in the backyard. I watch the two little kids playing by the water happily.

"You gave Parker and Lincoln food, although I requested them to starve." He stated, I felt the breeze as he sits down next to me.

"You wanted bodyguards for me, I wanted them healthy."

"Tomorrow night is the ceremony, are you ready?" He asks calmly.

"Do I have a choice?" I sigh.

"Well the party is going to be great, and hopefully we only have to do it once." He says.

"Will Corella be there?"

"She's making an appearance but leaving."

"Oh."

"Everything will be fine, you will be crowned The Carrier and then I will receive a small amount of your blood so we are bound together to make the child stronger, then we have the party, then just me and you." He says running me through everything.

"Our baby." I correct.

"The baby." He states.

"Can't you just admit it, he will be our baby? Is your mom not your birth mother?"
