Clap! Clap!
With two swings of her hands together in the air, Queen Rosalyn's headmaid, Selise, alerted all the other chamber ladies, maids, and ladies in waiting about the queen's arrival for her bath.
After her first victory, Rosalyn felt the need to have a long bath and enjoy the first hours of beautiful days to come. Luck fell on her lap, and she seized it with both hands, guaranteeing her and her children's future.
On arrival, Selise stripped her of her gown and removed all the jewelry she had on. She let loose Rosalyn's hair and it fell down to her waist, covering half her back.
"How are you feeling today, my queen?"
"Splendid, Selise, the world is coming up me and the only way for me to go is up."
Rosalyn played with the edges of her hair. She felt a few years of stress taken off her shoulders for the first time since she became queen. It gave her a youthful bliss in her soul.
