The Queen's Court *ON HOLD FOR EDITING*
Moving In
*Lady Veronica's POV*
I stood in the doorway of my new room, mouth hanging open in what I was sure was a perfect "o".
"Does it suit your fancy?" Jeffery asked behind me.
I ran my hands over the smooth mahogany of the freshly polished dresser. On the right wall was huge stained glass window over looking the kingdom. A small desk sat in front of it, complete with ink and a writing quill from a peacock. The bed was the size of three regular beds put together, with a crimson coverlet and plump pillows.
I took of my shoes and ran over to jump on it, grabbing Jeffery's hand and pulling him up with me. We bounced up and down, shouting, while the maidservant looked with disapproving eyes. I threw my arms around Jeffery as we crashed onto the bed.
"Oh I love it!" I squealed. Jeffery grinned and squeezed me tighter.
"That's great! I'm glad that you'll be living with me now. I can see your beautiful face every morning." He cooed.
We laid there for a while in a comfortable silence.
"I love you Veronica."
I felt a pang of guilt in my chest as I saw the flash of a knight's armor pass by the window. Suddenly I felt wrong lying there with the Prince. I sat up quickly and headed for the door.
"Veronica! Is something amiss?" I shook my head and gave his cheek a reassuring pat.
"No dear. The smell of the polish just gave me a headache. I need to step out and clear my head."
"Okay. I'll see you for dinner tonight?"
"Yes love."
And then I left, tripping over my gowns to get to the stables.
