That causes Laura to giggle finally. Hearing her laugh again is pleasant. Still she presses on, “Maybe… but still I actually have had a child that I kept a secret. Father’s second bastard son.”
Your ears perk up, “Second?” They seem to ignore you for now though which oddly seems to bother you very little. Laura is emotionally delicate and vulnerable now and that is mostly your doing.
This seems to stun Evelyn more than when you told her, that Laura fucked Father senseless. “But where is he?” Evelyn asks slightly lost herself.
“Before I started showing and to get away from Father, I traveled to the outer provinces. The nobles there have little love for Father there and I already owned a great deal of valuable land there. So I was able to have the child in peace.”
“I remember how furious He was when you left but never suspect this at all…” Evelyn confesses, “I suppose I was seeing what I wanted to see, just a concerned father.
“But you have been here since then and now with our husband… He has grown up without a mother or father?”
“Richard the third will be entering puberty in a year or two. I have seen to his ever want and desire… besides wanting his mother.” You can tell from the timbre in Laura’s voice she regrets being unable to give her first born that.
You may be a lecherous bastard. But you understood the importance of family. “Laura, you are my wife now even before a ceremony. Both you and mother have your autonomy and sovereignty. Have your son brought to the castle at once. If you do so immediately he can be here in time for the Ides of Apollo ball.”
Laura looks at you stunned, as does Evelyn. “Why.?. Why are you doing this?”
“Because you are my wife and I am in love with you. You were my sister and I understand the importance of family. I may be a deviant lecherous bastard… maybe literally too, but I chose both of you because I am in love with both of you.
“I admire your strong virtues and I want to make you happy. I can hear how much pain this has caused you in your voice.”
Laura’s response is to throw you up against the tile wall of the shower and smother you in kisses. “Eeeiiieeeppp!!!” Evelyn exclaims at the flurry of movement but giggles as she sees Laura and you kissing each other lovingly.
“I will probably have to repeat myself in some ceremony and ritual but I promise to all ways be yours, my King. Whatever future you have in store I am eternally yours regardless. I will have as many children as you want me too.”
“As am I” Evelyn adds in this dramatic moment. |
