"Remove the dress." Madame Lynn had the same bottle as last time.

"Madame Lynn, I would appreciate it if you give me the bottle so I could put the remedy on myself in my own chamber, alone."

"I cannot do that. Now remove the dress." She opened the bottle.

"If you would just tell me how to put it on, I would appreciate it." I made sure to keep my distance.

"Child, do not make me use my magic on you. Now remove the dress."

"I'm sorry, is that a threat?" I watched her and as she snapped her fingers my entire dressed was pulled down leaving my breasts exposed to her but I quickly brought my arms up to cover myself.

I looked at her and she was walking towards me with the bottle.

"If you take one more step towards me, I will--" she continued to walk towards me so I used my magic to keep her in place. "what has gotten into you?" I kept one arm covering myself while the other pulled the dress back up.

"I'm sorry, My Queen but it's very important that you carry a child of your husband, his Majesty King Oliver of Avallon."

"Why is it such an urgent thing for you that I carry a child?" I fixed my dress but still kept her in place.

"My Queen, it is exceptionally crucial that you are with child because one of the servants present with the Vatican stated that if you do not carry a child within this month, then you and he are to be removed from the throne."

"If I dont carry a child they'll remove us of the throne? They can't do that."

"It's because of Aladar, My Queen."

"What of Aladar?"

"They state that he is now a Bastard child and it is not something the Royals accept. They do not and never want a bastard son to take the throne. It will create chaos."

"Create chaos? But the people of Avallon love Aladar. They're very keen on him."

"Yes, we are. But the Vatican and the Principles will not allow it. Now that you know--"

"Madame Lynn, if you have information like this, it is exceptionally critical that you come to me and or Miriam including Daisy to inform me of what you've just told me."

"Now will you remove your dress?" She asked still holding the bottle.

"I need not your remedies, Madame Lynn. We both know if I want to carry a child, I can."

I saw Oliver and Madame Lynn speaking at a distance but I ignored it and made sure to have everything prepared for today.

"Today's a big day." I walked with Aladar beside me.

"Why's that mother?" He asked calmly.

"Because today is the day where the people of Avallon have their large celebration at the empty land of the West. It's where they set up a large campfire, dance around it and eat the food that everyone has made."

"Are we invited?" He looked up at me.

"Everyone from Avallon is invited."

"When is it?"

"It's--" I was interrupted by Oliver yelling at Madame Lynn.

"Do not ever pull something like that again!" He was furious. Everyone was looking at them and she kept a guilt look. "Look at me!" They were awfully close. "I said look at me!" You can see the vein on his neck.
