The Bloody Crown
BC 22
This morning, Susane and the other servants were busy with all the neatly arranged items. As scheduled, they will return to Francia today.
Francesca sipped her tea again while enjoying the cold morning breeze in Bosnia. While the twin, is busy flipping back a book that contains many examples of love poem.
Occasionally, from the tail of her eyes Francesca glanced at Ferdinand who was clucking in annoyance. Then every now and then, his calmness was interrupted as Ferdinand walked back and forth in front of his gaze.
Until Francesca who was getting sick finally made a sound.
"You're very disturbing"
"Ck! I told you this wasn't my style, Frans. Write poem? ah shit! I don't get it"
Francesca's hand put down her cup while taking a deep breath. The twins are stupid!
"Choose it originally. Why do you have to think about it so special? Hm?"
The question that contained the scent of innuendo with Francesca's probing gaze made Ferdinand roll his eyeballs lazily.
"Don't start Frans. Your thinking disgusts me"
One alisa Francesca swooped in while still staring at Ferdinand full of probes.
"Are we sharing our thoughts now?"
Ferdinand's long breath blew. He really did not want to welcome the fight from Francesca.
Ferdinand's hand lifted, and threw the book in his hand at Francesca's table
Brakk!
"Pick that. Choose the right one and don't overdo anything else too ridiculous"
Francesca's eyebrows pucker up inside. His full-sighted direction had already turned into a sharp gaze.
"You're commanding me Prince Ferdinand?"
And once again, Ferdinand rolled his eyes lazily.
"Sorry Your Majesty" Ferdinand's hand raised the book again, then placed the book slowly, very dramatically. His voice spoke no less politely dramatic "Sorry to interrupt the cool time of your morning. With 'full of silliness', I want you to choose a poem that is suitable for me to slip in the letter that I will send the old women"
Feeling increasingly upset, Francesca immediately threw the book at Ferdinand who swiftly caught it.
"Hup! be Careful Your Majesty. It's Susane's book"
Francesca ignored Ferdinand's annoying face and voice. He looked out the window, then spoke
"I don’t talk.
My lips part and air pushes out,
but the sound must not fit,
because my thoughts are so big.
So I don’t try to talk.
My thoughts must be too good for
words, for the water, for my lips.
But they are just right for paper.
My thoughts flow on paper.
They are just big enough.
So I don’t talk;
In compose, I,
I'm writing, I'm writing,
Dreamy"
"Ohhh!! that nice. Wait, I'll get the paper and I'll ask you.. Wait!"
Francesca could only grunt violently while reaching for the pink-coated book that had been held by two rough and sturdy hands of Ferdinand. His fingers began to select the pages he had found in the table of contents.
"Whatwas? repeat Frans"
Lazily, Francesca put the book on the table while looking at Ferdinand.
"It"
Ferdinand who understood instantly snatched the book. Then start reading the contents with a strong voice and a strong tone like reading poem, even though it is only his thinking. Because of how to read Ferdinand, just make Francesca's stomach tingled amused. Damnit damnit! why he used to be able to share a womb with a silly and stupid man like Ferdinand.
And that thought, made Francesca look at Ferdinand who started to say the last verse, then closed it.
"By Rebecca"
After speaking, Ferdinand began to take up his writing position. With eyes that were cheating on books and hands that were writing, Ferdinand's mouth muttered.
"I know you love me Frans. I love you brother too"
Francesca's lips twitched thinly as she continued to stare at Ferdinand.
"I'll sacrifice anything for Francia"
"And your happiness"
Although Francesca could not spit out her last words, but Ferdinand's heart could very well feel what his brother was feeling. Her lips softly and softly spoke
"I'm a Frans man"
"I knew. I've often heard what kind of man you used to be"
Francesca's words, finally made Ferdinand tickle. Then without changing the direction of his gaze that was still cheating on books, his mouth spoke in a tone that had changed.
"Whatever status. You are the woman I love most on this earth"
One eyebrow Francesca swooped
"And, Ana?"
"Ck! that's another one. Ana is my life and my future. And you, are a part of me"
Finally, Francesca chuckled softly as she looked at Ferdinand amusedly
"You're so sweet of Dinand"
"Ohh!!!" This time Ferdinand looked at Francesca with a grimacing face enduring disdain. "Don't say that. If it wasn't Ana who said it to my stomach, I'd want to get out"
TOK TOK TOK
"Your Majesty, everything is ready"
The knock of the door and the audible sound brought their conversation to a halt. Until Francesca answered
"Yes Solar. Comein"
The door was opened, and Solar immediately appeared while looking down politely. Not long after Ferdinand's voice sounded.
"Sol, send this to Winna's castle safely"
Solar's ordinary face instantly turned into an unfriendly look. While grabbing the envelope of letters that Ferdinand had thrust out, Solar stared at Ferdinand cynically.
"Yes.. Your Highness"
"Ck! don't show me that face and look at that damn thing! you make me look like a bad guy who's clearly cheating on me!"
Putting the amlop into his coat pocket, Solar muttered. A strong frown that everyone could still hear there.
"absolutely not? you are obviously cheating. Ck!"
"Hey! you-"
"Don't start yet. We better get out"
Ferdinand was finally only able to clench his mouth that was about to protest. Then walked out on Francesca while looking at Solar in annoyance.
Deliberately, Ferdinand walked over and smashed one shoulder at Solar who was still staring at him cynically.

Thomas welcomed several pairs of guests who today, have returned. With a friendly face and a smile full of welcome, Thomas immediately brought his guests to enter the Ross castle.
The number of guests who came, the guests who turned out to be in excess of their initial calculations made Albert glance at Lincont.
Lincont who understood the glance immediately nodded and left. Because he had to add supervision and also information about noble guests from Bosnia who might exist and appear outside of the information.
Lincont's move made Victoria's three uncles glance at each other. In their gazes, there were many plans and questions that they had thrown at each other.

It has been three days that Anastasia's morning condition in Trancia has not improved. Even now, Anastasia could not swallow her because of the nausea that continuously attacked her stomach mercilessly.
Ruth patiently continued to help provide a little comfort for Anastasia who was again, back nausea and vomiting. He also often did what Anastasia did. Take a deep breath out of your nose and slowly throw it out of your mouth.
A few minutes Anastasia continued to do relaxation techniques that had been taught by the doctor, until when she felt her stomach began to calm down, Anastasia began to rise up from the bathroom floor.
Quickly, Ruth helps Anastasia to get out of the bathroom while talking.
"Do I have to call the doctor again, Your Highness?"
Quickly, Anastasia answered while landing her buttocks to the edge of the bed
"No need for Ruth. I'm fine"
Anatasia softly and limply while holding her stomach. Then a smile was imprinted on his lips. Making Ruth smile with haru while looking at Anastasia with a sparkling look of happiness.
"In a moment, Rembrantd's palace will be full of baby cries that worry Your Highness"
The head of Anastasia nodded with her hands that continued to caress her own stomach.
"I-I'm so happy Ruth. God is so good to me"
"Of course Your Highness!! Oh my goodness! Praise be to God in heaven! I couldn't sleep yesterday after hearing the doctor's words"
With a happy smile continuously imprinted on her lips, one hand of Anastasia grabbed Ruth's hand and looked at her gently.
"Thank you Ruth"
The words of Anastasia, immediately made Ruth jerk with her head shaking strongly while saying
"Your Highnesses. You can't-"
"It's okay Ruth. I really wanted to tell you that. It would be our secret if I said a word of thanks to you" One eye Anastasia winked at Ruth. "okay?"
And Anastasia's gestures and speech made Ruth chuckle while nodding
"Good Your Highness. But no other time, this is the last" Ruth also blinked one eye. "okay?"
And their righteousness, immediately sewn into one another. Until Anastasia spoke again
"Please keep this news a secret, Ruth. I want to give this news myself to His Highness and Her Majesty. Moreover, I don't want them to be too worried and disrupt all my plans here"
Is correct... Anastasia had to hide the news of her pregnancy for a while. Because if this news reached Francesca's ears especially Ferdinand, the two twins would definitely ask him to return.
After all, Anastasia also had to be very careful while in Trancia. Because the human-human poison there could have harmed himself especially the content. Nah! Not again! Anatasia would go crazy if she lost her baby again because of her stupidity.
Ruth finally made a long breath and nodded.
"Well Your Highness. But you must remain obedient to the doctor's orders and advice. Please don't mind much anymore"
Chief Anastasia nodded in understanding with a smile. Actually, she was quite worried about the news of this pregnancy. Anastasia just feels now is not the right time to be two-bodied.
In the midst of the bustle that occurred and also with all the suffering that was enveloping them, Anastasia thought. Is her pregnancy coming unexpectedly now really no problem? Not that he was unhappy, it was just that right now he was unable to keep the other life in his body with all the work and grudges in his heart.

"Your Highness"
Lucas's voice at the door made Ruth look straight at Anastasia. Requesting testing. Anatasia who was asked from Ruth's gaze nodded
"Just get him in Ruth"
"Good Your Highness"
The door opened, and Lucas entered politely. His direction of vision looked at Anastasia's face fixedly. Trying to assess the condition of Ferdinand's wife who had been for three days postponed the meeting because of the problem of fever caused by fatigue.
Anastasia's soft smile came when she realized that Luke was judging her.
"I'm fine, Luc. I've been better"
Conscious of his presumptuous attitude, Lucas immediately lowered his head in courtesy
"Sorry Your Highness"
"No problem. What's the matter Luc?"
Lucas raised his head and spoke
"First, Her Majesty and His Highness have arrived in Francia. And word from Captain Edward, that Mr. George is coming to the palace"
"Ohh right? George to the palace?"
An amused smile that was immediately imprinted on Anastasia's lips, making Ruth and Lucas so amused smile.
"Yes, it seems, Mr. George misses the palace very much"
Lucas spoke in a tone filled with ridicule. And his words managed to make everyone chuckle amusedly.
In between the coldness of the gel, Anastasia said
"The palace will definitely be crowded"

From the horse-drawn carriage in his place, George's two old gray eyes stared at the entire state of the capital Francia. He was very busy smiling when he saw the situation and changes that occurred in a small area in Francia, to continue to ignore Edward who was still tweet annoyed at having to accompany him around the capital.
"More than half a century ago, I often heard stories from my late King David my father, if Francia would one day become a great kingdom. And those words have always been a motivation and a whip for me during my reign" George's smiling lips suddenly burst into annoyance and returned to speech. "But that fucking Fredrick took all the big names in the history of my dreams. Goddamnit! even only he's a descendant of the King who knows where Albany's diamond mines are!"
Edward gave a rude snort while staring at the old man in front of him lazily. The old man who during their trip circled in the capital, just always busy telling stories. Storytelling is like an old granny who keeps remembering the past.
"You're useless George. Your success is only one-" Edward's words made George immediately look at him with an unacceptable face. But Edward didn't care and went back. "You've only done one success. Marry your fucking son to Arathorn"
"Ck! you're such a bitch, Ed! I'm the good king the people love!"
Edward rolled his eyes lazily.
"You're the 'former' King of swindlers. Know yourself Geogre. You're already dead. May it soon be true, amen"
George gave a rough snort while firmly sticking his foot on Edward's foot but, quickly Edward's foot instantly dodged George's attack.
Edward glanced at the window for a moment, then smiled wickedly.
"That's the place you miss George the most. Where your million stories begin"
Edward's words made George look back at the window, then the curse immediately shot out of his mouth.
"Aahh shit! I hate that gate!"
An amused rarity shot straight out of Edward's mouth. Sensing that their horse-drawn carriage had stopped, Edward's head went straight out of the window as their simple horse-drawn carriage held down the gatekeeper.
Seeing Edward's face emerging from the window of the horse carriage, the guards politely lowered their heads politely and spoke.
"Good afternoon kapt"
Edward replied with just a brief nod.
And that nod immediately made the guards shout to open the gate immediately.
After their horse-drawn carriage returned to motion, Edward looked at George wearing the hood of his coat.
"Aahh"
Edward's annoying dramatic tone made George again snort violently
"Cooling your ass. I can even smell trouble from here"
