Chapter 5
The Queen patiently waited for the full the next month she makes sure to make that day a very special day.
“Adella which of these two do you think would suit me?” The Queen asked.
“Both are beautiful, my dear queen, but if I'm the one to choose, the color red is more suitable for you.” Adella responded.
And the Queen chooses the color suggested by Adella. She tried harder to be beautiful and attractive that night in the king's eyes and the moon of that night seemed to be in tune with the occasion, the quiet cold touch of the wind seemed to be looking for an arm that would give warmth.
Queen Yashiba felt nervous as if it was her first time to be with the king. Her heartbeat was on a marathon when the king kissed her and slowly moved her onto the bed. She glanced up to see the king's face and she saw how the king wanted her.
"I love you so much, my king." She murmured.
“I love you more My Queen.” King Devar responded as he continues to pull her under him and devour her till she begged him to stop.
It was a night full of love.
The bright moon was gradually enveloped in dark and thick smoke, later thunder and lightning foreshadowed the fall of heavy rain. A sign that Matilda's action and her magic spell have also begun.
Queen Yashiba thought nothing but to give a child to the king which she knew in the coming days would surely be fulfilled.
The cold air from the window touches the queen's body causing it to squeeze more into the king's arm. After what had happened that night between the king and queen they slept peacefully in each other's arms.
“You look so happy My Queen.” King Devar teased
“You too My King you look awesome!” The Queen whispered into his ears that makes the king giggles.
The king hugged the queen tightly from behind her while kissing her soft hair.
“I am so happy my dear queen that you are with me every day, you continue to give me the strength to lead the kingdom with stability.” King Devar stated.
“I am more than happy to serve you, my dear king, I want to offer you more. I feel that we will soon be given a child to inherit and rule our kingdom.” Queen Yashiba declared.
They are in that mood when a palace servant knocks at the door to serve their breakfast.
“Please forgive me Your Highness, Your Majesty if I interrupted you I just want to serve your breakfast.” Palace servant pleaded.
“You have nothing to worry about we are waiting for someone to serve the food and I'm glad you came." King Devar responded to ease the nervousness of the palace servant.
They started the day with a happy morning and ate together before getting ready to hunt in the forest with the other guards in the palace while the Queen decided to go back to her chamber and look for Adella.
“How are you my dear queen did you feel anything strange last night when you were with the king?” Adella uttered.
“I felt something strange last night while I was with the king” Queen Yashiba admitted.
“I hope this is the gift we expect from heaven.” Adella whispered.
“I claimed it Adella.”Queen Yashiba admitted.
A few weeks later the queen summoned the palace doctor to examine her. The doctor could not believe and speak with the result of his examination.
“Your Highness! you will be happy with the result the moment you have been waiting for has come.”The palace doctor excitedly announce.
“What do you mean?” the queen asked incredulously.
“You are pregnant Your Highness, that why so you feel weird these past few mornings." The doctor explained.
“Where is the king I want myself to deliver the good news.”Queen Yashiba rejoiced.
“Be careful Your Highness you need to be extra careful.” The doctor shouted as the Queen excitedly leave the room to look for the king.
Queen Yashiba tirelessly searched for the king around the kingdom until she found the king in the garden. The good news can easily be traced to her face as she quickly approached the king.
“My queen, what you would say seems very important and you can’t wait any longer.” The king commented.
The queen hugged the king tightly, “ finally the long wait is over my king,” she announced with tears of joy in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" King Devar asked in great surprise.
“I am pregnant my king the doctor confirmed it this morning.” The Queen shouted for joy.
At that time the whole kingdom rejoiced, even the ordinary citizens of the kingdom who prayed together for the queen's child were very happy to hear the news. The whole kingdom immediately held a feast of thanksgiving where every nobleman and even ordinary citizen in the kingdom gave an offering for the baby.
“God is so good to us my queen he has not forsaken us. He gave us almost everything we asked for.” The king cried in gladness.
The queen did not know how to respond to the king who had no idea of the covenant she had made with Matilda. What is important at that time was her wish to have children was fulfilled.
They thanked everyone who attended the feast and offered a prayer for the baby in her womb. But before the occasion was over Matilda appeared smiling and carrying a gift for the queen.
“I will not miss the opportunity to greet you, Your Highness.” Matilda said.
The queen seems to have lost her color after seeing Matilda but she chooses to be strong and acknowledge the presence of Matilda. The king was puzzled seeing how Matilda comfortably enters the palace while the Queen looks awkward.
I can smell something wrong, the king murmured.
Zenebe was alarmed with the presence of Matilda and she secretly approached Adella.
“You are the only one who can help the Queen. You must protect the baby at all cost, when the baby comes out, you immediately put this into his hand to protect him against evil spirit and black magic.” Zenebe explained to Adella.
No words escaped from Adella's mouth as she accepted the amulet from Zenebe.
