Sequel of Another Chapter ( The fanfiction on king Paul I of Greece and Frederike von Hanover ) This fanfiction is about Juan Carlos I of Spain and his wife, Sophia of Greece and Denmark! >0< ^ " It's fine, someone will play chess with you. " 30th October, 1968, Madrid, Spain Sophia lies in the bed, feeling extreme pain and ultimately bored, lonely, and weak to do anything ever since their third child and only son was born. She looked much pale, her whole lips getting dry and her appearance no longer lively ( which was not so earlier, too ). It hurt her hard to always recall moments of lectures by her mother calling her as someone worthless and not like others. She wasn't the smartest of all cousins,for an instance, her husband and third cousin ,(Juanito) the Crown Prince Juan Carlos of Spain. Despite all those, she's had a very romantic, passionate, and happy marriage throughout the years. It went to such an extent that he wanted to live privately with her and also wanted to ban the Sallic law in their monarchy. She was still recalling the moments when she was 16, already in love with her third cousin, and wanted to marry him, which he even wanted a few years later. At that moment, Juanito approached with a large bouquet of red roses, much larger than before, resembling Sophie's love for him. Even though she wasn't able to move or talk, she liked every bit when he was around thanking her and caressing her affectionately. It could just get better when they see the baby boy. The girls Elena and Christina could hardly wait... All Sophia could possibly feel was now, the comforting embrace of Juan Carlos, and replayed a thought in her mind, which first came during their wedding. " He was loved by all, I was too, but not as much as him, but, from all those who truly loved me, he was one of the indispensable ones " To be continued....
