Occ: Karen, you're so sweet! That would be really great.

I watch as she practically runs over to her chest of drawers and pulls out the necklace and puts it on. It's a fairly simple design but I had told her when I sent it to her in a note that I didn't want something that would try to compete with her beauty but rather something to help show it off even more.
"The chef can have something prepared and waiting for us when we get back.I don't think a picnic is a good idea,it looks like it's going to rain.So we better hurry up and go for that walk," she says and what she does next amazes me. She holds her hand out for me to take. She is voluntarily inviting me to touch her again. I smile, jump up and take her hand in mine.
"You're right. Let's go." I pull her gently to the door, pull it open and tell the guards, "The queen and I are going for a walk in the gardens. Please tell the kitchen we'd like lunch to be ready for us when we get back." They bow in answer and I tuck her hand in the crook of my arm as we move down the hall towards the nearest door to the outside.
I have eyes only for her at this moment and I can't understand why I've behaved any differently over the past year. My Vilandra isn't something I have to conquer. She is already mine and if I want to be happy with her, I need to keep her happy.

We walk in to the garden,arm in arm in silence.I'm sure he's wondering what I am thinking just as I am wondering what suddenly made him realise that he needs to change in order to keep our marriage alive.
All these months I have often wondered whether or not he has been cheating on me.If that is the case I think my heart will break but I must give him the benefit of the doubt.Also I don't want to arouse his temper by asking him if he has been faithful to me,not yet anyway.But that doesn't mean I can't ask him why he thought I had cheated on him.
Once we reach the gazibo I go and sit on one bench and look up at him,"Why did you think I was cheating on you?"

I'm enjoying just being with Lonnie again and we walk in silence and head for the gazebo. When we get there, she sits on one of the benches and looks up at me. I can't tell what she's thinking. I could always concentrate and look into her thoughts but I'd rather she tell me. Her next words surprise me and take me off guard. "Why did you think I was cheating on you?"
I look away out into the gardens and watch a bee buzzing around. "You are a beautiful woman, Lonnie. I know that I spend a lot of time away from you in business dealings of the planet. Tagorra is not at peace by a long shot and I know that it must get lonely for you. One of the guards that I had protecting you had said that he saw you talking with one of the vendors and you were leaning a little close to his ear. I didn't want to believe it but he said that you can't be watched all the time. It was my own insecurities...and failings that made me accuse you of such things. If you tell me now that you have been faithful to me always, I will believe you."
I don't want to admit that I have been unable to keep my vow of cherishing her only. I've been with several women before and after our wedding. But I've never really seen them. They've never meant anything to me. They simply were available for me to use. I have been careful since Nickolas' birth not to get a woman pregnant but some of them have thrown themselves at me, hoping to become so and gain favor with their king.
Nickolas' mother's name was...I know it, Krissa. I can't even remember what she looked like now. She was the first woman I had ever been with and I was a young fool. I was finished with her and had her killed long before I even met Vilandra. Nickolas himself is now a grown man and I keep him close, but he doesn't know that he is my son. No one does. Krissa threatened me with the knowledge before she died.
*Flash*
"Kivar, I swear that everyone on Tagorra will know about our son if you refuse what I am asking for. It isn't much! Not compared to what I have given you!" Krissa said, her voice high pitched and a little loud.
"You will not tell anyone about that boy ever," I told her firmly and coldly. "I cannot marry you and make you queen, Krissa. You are not in a class fit enough to step foot into the throne room even to clean it."
Tears glistened in her eyes momentarily but she blinked them back and they were quickly gone. "I would never wish to be your wife, and god help the woman you do marry, Kivar," she says in a low tone. "I only wish a house of my own and to be given a small title. Take care of us and put us up in luxury and I promise, you'll never hear from us again."
I take a step toward her. "Take care, Krissa. You don't know how dangerous I can be if you corner me."
Her eyes flash in anger and she picks up the baby who has started crying. "Oh, I know all too well how snakelike you can be, Kivar."
I know my eyes have taken on a dangerous glint because now I'm angry. "You will not get a thing from me. I cannot risk any suspicions of this. The entire kingdom could be endanger because of it."
I start to move to the door, when she cries out to me. "Kivar! I taught you the ways of a woman's body! I gave you a son! Provide for me and for him or I will tell the whole system of VATER your secrets."
I don't allow threats or blackmail. I move swiftly over to her but not in a threatening way. Still she pulls the child closer to her chest. "Give me the boy, Krissa," I tell her. She hesitates but places him in my arms. "Is he old enough to be weaned?" I ask.
She nods. "Many babies live without their mother's milk. As long as they are properly cared for and looked after, they are fine."
"Good," I say and do not look at her again. Instead I carry the boy in my arms toward the door and open it. The only guard I have brought with me stands outside and I tell him quietly, "Get rid of her and make sure it looks like an accident or suicide." He quickly nods and says the customary "yes, my lord." Krissa's scream is cut short quickly and I never look back.

He doesn't reply immediately,instead seems to contemplate what he's going to say.I listen in shocked silence as he explains to me that one of the guards he himself had placed to watch over me had told him such a disgusting lie.Why...why would he have done that?
A VENDOR!!!
Of all people a vendor!!Even if I had been desperate to be with a man I wouldn't have choosen a vendor.I am going to have that guard fired.I dont' care if I appear cruel or heartless.His lie cost me months of happiness with my husband.
"I want that guard fired Kivar." I spit out angrily "And you could have just asked me for the truth instead of relying on your guard." Agitatedly I get up and walk down the steps,out in to the garden again,hurt and angry now,trying to suppress my outrage.
"I have ALWAYS been faithful to you." I turn around and look him in the eye as I say that "you're the only one I have wanted,ever since we met and it hurts Kivar...it hurts me so much that you would think me so incapable of fidelity." It surprises me that I am speaking in such a calm manner even though I feel so humiliated.God only knows what those guards were saying about me!

She is angry at me now and demands that the guard be fired. "And you could have just asked me for the truth instead of relying on your guard. I have ALWAYS been faithful to you. You're the onoly one I have wanted,ever since we met and it hurts Kivar...it hurts me so much that you would think me so incapable of fidelity."
I run after her and throw myself at her feet, not caring who might see. I take her hands in mine. I must make her understand! "Lonnie, you must see it from my perspective! I wanted to ask you about it but I was afraid of the answer. My own mother is still talked about because of the number of lovers she had. My father was called weak because he allowed it. I knew you had objected to our marriage alliance and I couldn't help that my own insecurities about myself...that I might not be enough for you...that you might not love me after all, they took over and made me believe it possible. I was so afraid! I did not wish to be my father who cared for nothing but himself. I believe you when you tell me that you were faithful to me. I will not only fire the guard but have him executed for telling such lies. I swear it, Lonnie. Please just say you forgive me!" I beg of her passionately.

I never thought the day would come when I'd see Kivar go down on his knees asking for my forgiveness.Is this a sign of his love for me?He seems genuine enough and desperate,as he clutches at my hands.
"Kivar please...what're you doing?Get up!" I tell him firmly and place my hands on his shoulders to pull him up "I don't want you executing the guard...just fire him.I can't have someone's blood on my hands.It would drive me insane."
I let my hands fall away from his shoulders down to his hands which I take in mine,"So much sadness and misunderstanding between us and all because of a stupid lie.No more lies Kivar!I've been going crazy all these months thinking that you didn't want me anymore,that you were cheating on me.Please...just talk me from now on if you have any doubts concerning our marriage.It's the only way we can make things right again."
One hand of mine reaches up to cup his cheek,"Alright?"

She looks at me and I wonder how after a year of marriage she can still make my heart flutter the same way it did the first time I saw her at the Inter-Planetary Ball three years ago.I hope I never stop feeling this way.
"I woke up a while ago, and I couldn't go back to sleep... I was enjoying the view." she says tenderly
I grin,unable to stop myself from feeling like a stud,"That's what I like to hear when I get up...that my wife still loves looking at my body." I laugh when she gives me a weird look as though to say 'we haven't been married all that long for me to be fed up of it'.
Playfully I pounce on her,pinning her underneath me and growl against her neck,knowing that she is ticklish.

She pulls on my shoulders and tells me to get up. Then she tells says something about not killing the guard but just firing him but I'm only waiting for the fact that she is no longer angry with me and has forgiven me. She takes my hands again and says, "So much sadness and misunderstanding between us and all because of a stupid lie.No more lies Kivar!I've been going crazy all these months thinking that you didn't want me anymore,that you were cheating on me.Please...just talk me from now on if you have any doubts concerning our marriage.It's the only way we can make things right again." She moves one hand to my face and I close my eyes and lean into her touch. "Alright?"
I kiss her hand, take a deep breath and open my eyes. I give her a smile to reassure her, determined that she will never find out about the others I've been with and that I will never be with another again. "Alright, Lon. You know I'll do anything to make you happy again. You are the only one who has ever held my heart...such as it is." There! That should reassure her without coming out and lying to her about the other women. That was the truth. I cannot now even picture one of the women's faces. I pick her up and whirl her around in my happiness and say happily, "Ok, enough with the serious talk! Let's have some fun!" I let her slide down to the ground in my arms and kiss her lightly. Spotting something behind her I smile and reach to pluck one of the roses from the bush, careful of the thorns. I pull it in front of her face and hold it to her. "Be mindful of the thorns, my pet."

"Alright, Lon. You know I'll do anything to make you happy again. You are the only one who has ever held my heart...such as it is." he says after kissing my hand
Out of the blue he picks me up and twirls me around and I can't help but laugh at his antics,this is so unlike him,well the recent him anyway.
"Ok, enough with the serious talk! Let's have some fun!"
I look at him expectantly...what does he mean by fun?Reaching behind me he plucks a rose and holds it up in front of me
"Be mindful of the thorns, my pet."
With a smile,I take it from him and inhale the fragrance,"Thank you my love."
That is a term of endearment I haven't used for him in what seems like forever,but I am willing to try and salvage my marriage.It was a good union,his and mine and I believe with all my heart that we can be happy again if Kivar says he wants to try and change and make me happy once more.
Linking my arm through his we begin to walk through the garden once more.I look up at the sky and notice the ominous rain clouds looming closer and closer,"This is unusual weather for this time of year." I shiver slightly as a chilly breeze sweeps across the garden
At that moment a clap of thunder rolls across the sky.

~~~~~MAX/PRINCE XAN~~~~~
Well here we are. The big day. The day I discover whether my future wife will rule this kingdom in such a way that I would be happy to be with her. A Queen that would be good to the people and wanted peace as much as I do.
I do up my cloak as I look in the mirror, taking in the sight of me dressed up as a peasant.
"Not exactly my usual" I joke. "I don't think anyone would recognise me like this" I add with a smile before turning around to see Michael behind me. "It suits you" I say to him as I look at him wearing a similar disguise to my own; A servants outfit.
I gently put a hand on his shoulder. "You know you don't have to come with me. Anyone else in the castle could come." I tell him gently. "I know your worried about me, but really, I'm going to be ok. No one will ever know who I am dressed like this."
