Old age

"So…" said Wura as the room entered into utter Silence.

"So…?" said Liam as he too did not know what to say, it was obvious to know what they both had on their minds.

"Your father is… he is a very happy man" said Wura as she cleared her throat as that was all she could say.

"Happy to say the least" said Liam as he scoffed.

"I truly do apologize on his behalf for his behaviour earlier" said Liam as he truly felt embarrassed, Wura was not even his wife yet, and his father was already busy scaring her off.

"There is no need for you to apologize…" said Wura.

"He is the King after all, and he does what pleases him" said Wura.

"That might be true, but that still does not mean that he is free to say such things that would be rather kept private in the open" said Liam.

"To tell the truth *Ahem*" said Wura as she cleared her throat, she did not know what to say to lessen the awkwardness in the atmosphere right now.

Not talking about it left them in that silence, and well talking about it made it even weirder.

"I do not know what would make him ask such a question…" said Wura as her voice trailed off and she looked everywhere except for Liam's face.

"Old age, old age did it" said Liam as he laughed.

"That is rather mean" said Wura.

"But it is the truth after all" said Liam, he was done talking about this topic, and to make matters worse his father had called him to see him in his office later, and knowing his father Liam was sure that he had an idea of what it is that his father wanted to talk to him about.

"Would your parents ever talk about that??" asked Liam as he looked at Wura.

"No… My God, of course not" said Wura as she replied quickly as she looked at Liam, there was no way her mother or father would talk about such things that were meant to be kept private in the open.

Wura was not sure if she would be able to handle such a talk, she was sure that she would end up walking away, of if she had to sit there and listen, she would have rather covered her ears.

"So you see, my father… my father is somewhat too cheeky" said Liam as he looked at Wura.

"I can see that" said Wura as she looked at Liam.

"The next time he talks about such, just report him to me, and I will see what I can do" said Liam as he was seriously embarrassed, who knew his father would change so much in front of a woman?? And who was he trying to fool?? His father would never listen to him to stop at all.

"I will…" said Wura.

"So how has Nora been treating you??" asked Liam.

"Ahh well, she has been very nice to me" said Wura as she smiled.

"And I like her very much, she is the same age as me" said Wura as she smiled.

"I am glad that you think so" said Liam as he smiled at her.

"Speaking of which, I am sure that the seamstress has arrived at the Castle by now, she should meet you in your room to take your measurements and the design of the dress you have chosen" said Liam.

"Alright then" said Wura.

"I shall me taking my leave now" she said as she stood up.

"Alright" said Liam as he waited for Wura to leave.

"Ummm…" said Wura as she turned back to look at him.

"I require the assistance of Nora, since I do not know my way around the Castle" said Wura.

Liam had already anticipated that, which was why he had told one of the guards earlier to call Nora to meet him at his office, he had just been waiting for Wura to get off her high horse and asked for his assistance.

"Well I cannot go with you now, because I have many things to do today" said Liam.

"I am aware of that your highness, which is why I did not ask for your help, but rather for Nora's help" said Wura as she looked at Liam in annoyance, there he went again, not everything had to be about him.

Liam smiled, he could clearly see the annoyance on Wura's face and it made him want to laugh, so it seemed that she was finally awake enough to be annoyed with him.

"Not to worry, I have already called for Nora, and she should be on her way here soon" said Liam.

"Thank you your highness" said Wura as she scoffed at him.

"In the meantime, you may sit while you wait for her" said Liam.

"Except you would rather remain standing like a guard" said Liam as he smiled.

"I will sit your highness" said Wura as she sat down while resisting the urge to curse this man who had decided to ruin her morning that was going good so far with his nonsense.

As Liam looked at Wura he suddenly remembered that he wanted to give her something, but now that he thought about it, this was neither the right time too, maybe he would try giving to her in the evening or tomorrow.

It all mattered on if she would not do like she usually did and reject to accept what he was going to give her.

Wura just sat there In silence while Liam just stared at her, which made her uncomfortable, she just hopes and prayed that Nora would come here soon and to her surprised a knock on the door answered her prayers.

"Enter" said Liam as he stopped looking at Wura and he turned to look at the door.

"You called for my your highness??" asked Nora as she entered Liam's office and she bowed.

"Yes, Nora, please escort the princess back to her room, where the seamstress will come for her measurements" said Liam as he looked at Nora.

"Alright your highness" said Nora as she bowed once again and Wura stood up.

"Well I shall see you later your highness" said Wura as she turned to Liam as she shone a forced smile at him, because it was not like she was looking forward to seeing him at all.

"The same for you Lady Diwura" said Liam as he smiled brightly at her, as he knew that it annoyed her.

"Let us go" said Wura as she turned to Nora and Nora and Nora bowed.

"Let me hold that for you my princess" said Nora as she looked at Wura's hand and she noticed that she was holding something in her hand.

"No, no there is no need, I can hold it myself" said Wura as she smiled.

"But I insist my princess" said Nora as she begged Wura.

"Alright" said Wura as she sighed and she gave the parchments to Nora.

"Please follow me my princess" said Nora as she walked and Wura followed behind her as they left Liam's office and Liam sighed.

…

"Oh Richie, I miss my dear Wura, is she alright at the Castle, are they treating her well there?? Does she feel at home?? Is she alright??" asked Tessa as she ranted and she looked at Richard who was quietly reading and he sighed and he looked at Tessa.

"Wildvine, I am sure that she is alright" said Richard as he smiled.

"But how are you so sure Richie??" asked Tessa as she turned to look at Richard.

"Well because she is Wura, and she is always alright" said Richard as he smiled.

"Aww Richie" said Tessa as she came to sit down right next to Richard and he smiled at her and he kissed the back of her hand.

"Oh but I miss Wura, Richie, I really do" said Tessa.

"I was about to start sewing when I started to miss her, and I still want to sew" said Tessa as she pouted.

"Mhmm" said Richard as he went back to reading.

"I have an idea" said Tessa as she smiled.

"How about if you help me sew some clothes for our daughter??" asked Tessa as she smiled and she looked at her Richie.

"Oh no, no, no what sort of idea is that??" asked Richard as he was shocked.

"Oh please, come on my dear, I am sure that our daughter will be happy that her father made a dress for her" said Tessa as she smiled.

"I am a man, I will not degrade myself to sewing" said Richard as he could not believe the absurd thoughts of his wife.

"Oh but Richie, think of our baby girl" said Tessa as Richard shook his head.

"Pleaseee" said Tessa as she pleaded with Richard.

"Oh Please" said Tessa.

"*Sigh*" said Richard as he sighed.

"Alright" he said as he knew that he would regret this choice.

"Thank you Richie" said Tessa as she smiled and she gave him a kiss on the cheek, as she was very excited and she ran to get her sewing kit.

"Slow down Wildvine" said Richard as he sighed and he shook his head, now he missed Wura, who would look after Tessa with him now??
