Rise of a Queen

”Are you sure itll work? ” Adhley heard on her way to her husbands chamber. She checked and saw her bestfriend, Rita. ”Who are you talking to? ”. Adhley asked as she walks up to her, smiling. Rita turns to her with a shocked and terrified look on her face which she quickly covered up with a beautiful smile. ”Nobody. Why do you ask? ” ”I just heard you saying if itll work? ” Adhley asked again, stopping in front of her.

”If what will work? ” Rita asked with a puzzled-like look on her face. Adhley was really confused as she said, ”I should be the one asking you that. I mean, I just heard you talking with someone. ” ”I wasn . ” Rita said straightforwardly as if leaving no room for question on the matter again. ”Well, thats weird. ” Adhley said. ”You know whats weird? ” Rita asked with Adhley looking at her for an answer. ” The fact that you are pregnant and we

”You do know that you look even more beautiful being pregnant? ” He asked her. Ashleys face flushed red as she looked down,shy. Richard gently reached his hand out to lift her face up. As he was about to plant his lips on hers, Rita cleared her throat, ”hummhumm, a maiden is right here ”. Adhley immediately disentangled herself from Richards embrace feeling a little awkward.

Rita smiled brightly ”Sure. After you both ” Both Adhley and Richard moved to the dining hall. Rita eyes darkened as she looked at them -Adhley -with her fists clenched together so tightly, Enjoy your days with my man for now, Ill definitely get him back from you.
