My husband has been murdered by the “twin” on the golden thrown next to me. I know he did, but the country is none the wiser, it had to stay that way. I sit there keeping face of a queen, stone hard face but warm soft eyes. And when I speak to the nobles I know how to control my voice. I’m good at hiding what I feel, keeping my emotions bottled up and controlled. Even though I grieve for my husbands death, I can’t morn him. The council took no time at all to set with up with the new king, my dead husbands brother…..
I keep my eyes glued to the back of the thrown room, but out of my peripheral vision I can see Myles glance at me. And then he leans forward I’m assuming to speak. I keep my hands gracefully folded in my lap, I can feel the soft silk beneath my hands. It’s purple the colors of my house. Purple and silver. My fiery red hair is done up in an updo, my stylus braided my hair into a beautiful bun flower. My fingers are gloved, dainty and soft. I listen like a dutiful woman, even though there is a storm raging inside.
