Chapter 12

For the first time all week, I’m barely able to sleep a wink. All night I kept tossing and turning in the bed, one I am starkly aware is not my own, replaying the conversation with Prim.

My imagination runs wild. The queen gives birth, and cradles her newborn girl lovingly in her arms. A few minutes later she delivers another baby and everyone is astounded.

Then the sadness kicks in. Maybe the King looks at his Queen forlorn and kisses her forehead. “It’s for the best,” he mutters. The Queen sobs, giant tears rolling down her cheeks.

How did they choose between us? Did they take the second baby away? Or did they discard the first one?

I picture the panic on the King’s face, knowing what happened to his uncle.

Maybe what he did was an act of love? And even though the Queen never forgave him for sending me away, he felt convinced he was doing the right thing.

A knock on the door jolts me from my thoughts and I stretch out with a yawn.

“Good morning, Princess,” Mae walks in, brandishing a large vase of violets. “I have a gift for you.”

I slide out of bed, prompting Teddy to plop down. He scurries off through the open door, and a young woman follows him with a leash.

I turn back to Mae as she shuffles in and lowers the vase to sit at the window. The purple flowers look exquisite and a little white envelope sits among them. Mae gives me a knowing smile before she marches out.

“The stylists will be here in twenty minutes,” she says before shutting the door.

I pick up the envelope and open the little card.

Dearest Prim,

I hope you find these flowers pleasing for your room.

I look forward to the day I call you my wife.

But until then, I shall call you my ‘Violet.’

Yours

Cristiano.

And just like that, every worry in my mind evaporates. I spin on the spot, squealing like a teenage girl. If only Cristiano knew that my name really is Violet.

The thought of him calling me by my real name floods me with giddiness.

The stylists loosely curl my hair and only pin half of it up. The soft yellow dress has an A-line skirt and is the most comfortable piece of clothing I’ve worn since I’ve arrived.

The door opens and Mae returns with Teddy, who swaggers into the room, making a sharp yap to announce his arrival.

“Hello, Teddy Weddy, did you have some breakfast?” I ask, bending down to tickle his ears. He lifts his head and belches into my face. The smell of dog food confirms my suspicion and I resist the urge to laugh.

“Teddy Weddy?” Mae repeats, looking at me with a brow arched. I stand and play with my hair, realizing that in all of my excitement I’d slipped out of character.

“It’s a nickname Cristiano gave him, and I thought it’s rather adorable, don’t you?” I ask, putting on my best impression of Prim again. Mae’s face softens and she inclines her head.

“You two appear to be quite besotted,” she replies.
