Amelia sat upon a throne, next to her husband, the king. They had recently married three months ago, and it was all for political reasons. She had been a nearby princess of a neighboring kingdom that had come to the negotiation of- if she married the king, she could bring help to her people, who were dying from the recent droughts and scarcity of food. This in turn caused sickness along with the famine— yet, unfortunately her husband had yet to produce the promise he had given her, that he would help save her people.
He had been too busy with her ladies in waiting, and it had been soon found out that one of them had fallen pregnant, something that threatened her very future child’s position. Upon finding the news, she had immediately at first tried to become pregnant by the king, but he just wasn’t interested in her. Frustrated she knew it would be in her best interest to send off the woman and pay her enough gold to keep the pregnancy a secret, and raise the child without the knowledge who their father was.
But the woman proved difficult.
Languishing, Amelia later found herself that evening wandering the hallways- aimlessly walking around, trying to diverge another plan. Perhaps she could try the Royal Doctor in creating a concoction that eliminates pregnancies if ingested.. but even that she was wondering if that would work.
