Kingston followed his father back to his quarters, his mother was reading some papers when they entered.
"Welcome my baby" his mother said standing up to hug her husband and help him out if his outer robe. The way they behave like a newly wed everyday amazes him. And how they call themselves babe even though they have given birth to a grown man like him! He smiles. What a strong love!
He wants something like this too! Something so genuine and precious like his parents, who can't be without eachother.
Ahhh...he let out a sigh.
His eyes turns to look at his parents again but he saw them looking at him. Especially his mother who is frowning now.
"Sit!" His mother commanded. It was a Queen tone not a mother's tone.
Seems he was out of space for a long time as his father was now sitting on bed beside his mother helping her with her paperworks.
"Kingston!" She called setting aside her work. "Tell me how far you have gone with rose! I want you to spill everything out. Or will you still keep acting as if you don't love her? And don't you dare deny it Alexander kingston Williams. I am your mother. I know my son. And I will be stupid if I don't know about your feelings for Roseline! So I'm all ears.
Kingston sit stunned! Flabbergasted! Shocked to the core! His spine straightened! Anytime his mother call his full name, she is serious.
Mum, how do you....
Don't you dare complete that question! I want a detail explanation.....now.
Suddenly he feels shy. His father chuckles making him more uncomfortable. Mom...., he said shyly, his ears painting red.
Will you start talking now or I should tell your father to gather all the prospects for you to choose a lady from as your wife?!
And that wipe away his shyness. Mum.....l....Rose... ^though still uncomfortable, it's better to tell them since they know already.
I truly love Rose mum. And I'm sure..., l can also feel she loves me too but she's afraid. Thinking she doesn't worth me! That I'm too high for her and also the aspect of sister to brotherhood between us, she scared of people's opinion while neglecting that it's her life. We are not related in any way, she was adopted.
How do you know she loves you?! Have you expressed your feelings to her? Do you tell her you want her as a wife and companion?! Do you tell her you don't care about what people say?! That your parents also accept her as a daughter inlaw, as your wife and also as my child?! Not hiding as a coward that you are. I wonder who give birth to you? Because I am not like this. Well....your father, maybe....because he was like you too.
"^Cough..cough.cough^ the king cough at her side. You know I wasn't outspoken as you, even now." He murmured.
The Queen ignored her husband, her heart ached anytime she saw the two stealing glances when the other was not looking. Their eyes full of affection and longing. She needs to push her son.
So she continues ^"Women needs assurance and words of affirmation. She needs to know where you stand not just I love you by action that confuses her. Tell her you will walk together through it all side by side. No matter the storm!"^
I saw the way you look at her and I know you love, she is your first love, dont let her go because of your stupidity kingston. Uou will regret it. Don't allow the court to dictate who you marry for you, your whole life companion.
And if you dont act fast, Rose will marry soon and your own bride will be chosen for you too. Rose suitors now are many and they are all eligible bachelor.
Kingston mind ripple. His heart thump. No, l cant allow that!
"You will accept rose as my wife father?.... mother?" Are you serious? I was thinking you won't like...
Why won't we kingston, when she is the one your heart chose and you are not related.
If you truly love and want her as you said, go and do it properly, assure her, make it clear to her what you really want. She is too fragile. Her heart is in turmoil now with all this news going around, dont confuse her with your stupidity. Even I know she loves you. I dont know what take you this long to see it.
Oh no! She would have heard the news about him taking a wife from the kitchen.
Mum, thank you so much!...I need to go now. Father....l...l....goodbye. he dashed out, shy of his father and panicking because of rose.
"He's in trouble" he said as he ran towards her quarters. The princess quarters opposite his own quarters, his own wing.
His father smile seeing him flustered while his mother chuckles in amusement at how nervous he looks.
Even though the king did not say anything, he supported his wife. It's time for kingston to be clear of his intentions towards roseline. They support him.
