The Second Prince's World Rewritten

Chapter 16 - Days to Come

A grimy screen door has been stuck in the back of my eyes.
Wanting to see the blue sky, I longed for someone to open it.
The more I wanted, the more tarnished I became.
But being at someone’s side
Meant I existed here

***

It has been a while, waking up next to son of mine. His highness named him Leander, I have never seen him smile as bright before. I have no idea as to what I do as a mother in my entire lifetime.

There are nights when I spent sobbing, missing my mother's hugs wishing she would be here telling me what to do. His cry always wake me up from the lost nights. He needs me regardless, I have and will try my best to have things in my disposal for him.

Lady Katharina seems to notice my swollen eyes. I have been receiving more helps than ever. Karl tried to take my work away, but I insisted I need them. I need to get busy to not break.

I rarely ever been to the prince's bedroom anymore as he spent more time here with Leander. There might be nights I can see pains in his eyes. It feels so familiar yet so distant. Prince Radeon ... Rad, I just can never talk properly with him. We talk with the touch, the unspoken words. As if we know what to tell each other, surely we don't.

I wonder what will take him to turn into what people said about him. The monster ...
Is he really one?

It does not take long, a year has not passed yet. Seems now the stork now when to properly drops a news.

I am again with child ...
