80 Why Are You So Tired?

Zack and Harris looked at each other and then to the woman who just cursed the King. Actually they already knew that they were weaker than the Witch but they can't let off what she said just now.

"Your baby. Seems to adore you." Angelica said all of a sudden, when she felt the warm aura surround Flora belly. Even thought it was early signs of pregnancy, later her stomach will become a bigger as they get closer to labour. But she found the child magic to be very powerful even thought it was a small little thing inside.

"Your child magic seems to fire. Must be a perk of your husband." Angelica observed and looked at the Queen. "Do you want a doctor or do you want a Witch to look at your child?"

Flora raised her brows and it was as if asking Angelica, 'does it matter?'. Angelica felt amused by this human. She hasn't felt this happy after Stacie had died and it seemed that this one made her the same things as when she was with Stacie.

"May I touch your stomach?"

Flora giggle and grabbed Angelica's hand and gently placed it on her stomachs she wiggled her brows making Angelica amused. "Of course you can." Flora said.

Angelica and Flora decided to sit down and have a pleasant talk while they sat on the ground near the tree Angelica rested at. The two knight only watch this happen by the side lines and didn't say anything.

"So your saying, that you married him because your parents and the previous King and Queen chose you? That's weird. I thought people usually chose the one they love when married." Angelica said confused.

Flora looked at Angelica speechlessly before bursting out into laughter.

"Oh My!! Your so funny!!" Flora said and Angelica pouted not knowing why she was laughing.

"Hahaha! It's an arranged marriage. Of course there wouldn't be love. Especially between such a great King like him. I don't expect him to love me back." Flora looked at the blue sky and quietly said, "He only sees me as someone that is Queen, noting else."

Angelica felt her jaw drop. She didn't understand love or marriage. But she did believe that people marry when they love each other. It was how Stacie explained it to her.

"So he doesn't love you, but do you love him?" Angelica asked curiously.

Flora blushed and then pouted at her, "Angelica you know you shouldn't ask a lady so directly about these things!"

Angelica laughed and continued to tease the Queen. "But it's just a question. You can lie of you want. But..." Angelica saw the red blush on her face and said gently, "I think I got my answer already."

"You love him. But he doesn't love you back." Angelica said and then look at the rolling fields.

Snapping her fingers a bunch of palm sized water bubbles surrounded the area making the sunlight shine. Everywhere around them, they floated in the air slowly moving around around them.

Once again Flora smiled again and looked at the magic sight with happy expression. She looked at Angelica who already jumped on the tree and gave a lazy smile. She tapped the tree and the roots slowly stretched out and building a two person swing.

"Sit here and enjoy the breeze. Today is a lovely day to do so." Angelica said and Flora slowly sat on the swing that was suddenly made. Slowly it began rocking itself back and forth. She quietly rested on the swing and just like Angelica said, enjoy the breeze.

Flora always felt at peace with this strange witch and couldn't help but smile when she looked at Angelica.

'This is what a friend should be like.' Flora thought.

Not judging you at all and only enjoying each other's time together.

Alex who was watching on the distance felt his at peace when he saw this sight. It had been awhile since she smiled this happily and carefree. But the result of this smile wasn't because of him.

It was because of someone else.

Alex looked at the woman on the tree and found her aura to be to strong. She wasn't human for sure and his guess was either a mage or a witch.

He looked at his wife laughing and talking to the witch with an expressive face and felt hurt when he saw it. But he also felt a wave of jealousy and helplessness when watching this.

Angelica looked over in the distance and narrowed his eyes.

"Puppy knight..." Angelica jumped down from the tree and approached the knights by the side.

"Did you come here alone? Or did someone follow you?" She asked in a hush tone.

Zack looked surprised and looked at the Queen who was peaceful resting on the swing. "We came here by ourselves and I don't think that someone followed us. Harris made sure that our tracks weren't found." He said.

Angelica nodded and looked at the sleeping Queen. "She is getting sleepy real easily I think it time for you to take her back. Let me accompany you to the carriage and drop her there." And then gave Zack a warning, "If I'm not wrong then it might be a knight sent from your King. Answer him truthfully this time. I'll deal with it personally." She said with a wicked smile.

She was itching for a fight.

Zack felt a shudder down his spine when he heard her say that. He watch her carefully pick up the Queen in her arms and was surprised by her strength.

"I'm a witch, duh!" She rolled her eyes and they slowly started walking to where the carriage was.

Angelica made sure to look at the forest and give a smile. Alex felt his eyes shake and saw her say something.

'Hello, stalker.' And then gave a playful grin.

Alex felt his vain throb from the audacity of this person. But he also wondered how strong she was. He had a dark aura surrounded him.

- 2 weeks later -

Flora looked at the women and sighed. This tea party was so boring and dumb. But as Queen she must do these duties and have at least gathering on a normal bases.

But what was constantly on her mind was Angelica. She wondered if the witch had eaten. Or was she sleeping in the tree? Flora worried that Angelica could get sick by wearing such light clothes.

"Your Majesty, how is your health so far?" A lady asked and Flora gave a small smile.

"As good as always. But the little one inside me is making me a bit tired." She stroked her stomach that had a little bump slowly appearing.

A woman suddenly slammed the tea cup down and the tea party became quite. The one who did this was Princess Gina who came from the south kingdom.

"Your majesty, should rest and not bother herself with such parties then. It easy to get sick in such weather." The Princess said.

"Princess Gina, thank you for the concern. But don't worry, I can take care of myself and this weather can't possibly make me sick." Flora smiled at the arrogant Princess.

"I just worry, since you are so busy. Oh, but isn't that the same with the King? He must be busy since we hardly see him beside in his office." Princess Gina said.

Flora clenched her hand but kept her neutral smile, "Of course the King is busy. Why wouldn't he be since he has a country to rule and many people to look for him. But he does spare time for us so I won't ask for anything more." Flora wasn't lying.

Alex had come at least twice everyday to check on her and their child. Sometime he would touch her stomach other times it was just light conversations that she found strange.

But none the less she let it slide since she was a little happy that he came.

Princess Gina froze and smile stiffly. The rumours about the King seeing the Queen often wasn't false but she didn't expect the Queen to say it out loud. A false of malice pasted her eyes and she decided it was time to move in with her plans.

The ladies at the table who were quite began chirping again with small talk forgetting the earlier fight and just continue on.

Angelica bit the apple and then looked at Flora who was a bit tired then usual. She wondered what happens to this cheerful girl.

"Flora were you always this tired?"

Flora thought about it for a moment and then answer, "I think it started after my tea party but isn't it normal to feel tired when your pregnant?"

Angelica narrowed her eyes and finished her apple and then called over Zack, "Puppy Knight! Get I've here now! And also bring that Shy knight!"

Zack and Harris looked at each other and walked over to the witch. "What's wrong?" Zack asked confused by her sudden words.

"Who's responsible for the majesty food?" Angelica asked.

"Maid Mary. What's wrong?" Zack asked cautiously.

Angelica decided to put a barrier up and explain to them, "You... Flora someone is trying to curse you and the child inside you." Angelica seriously said.
