Anastasious sat high on her throne proudly with her baby son on her lap, she was a proud queen of Ireland now but she was yet to find her king.
“From Greece” the young man said.
“Oh its sufficient” Anastasious said staring at the ancient relic.
“Just Sufficient, this is from Ancient Greece and a part of their history” the young man said.
“Well l accept your gift young man, you may go” she said dismissing him.
“L miss our baby Jone” said queen Iodina who was now pregnant a second time.
“L know but he is Anastasious’ baby and we mustn’t miss him”.
“You don’t get anything do you” said the queen and walked off.
“Matthew do go see to the arrangements for this nights ball” she said to her steward who was the same tax collector that had come to take her father away.
That night there was a royal ball held at the palace. Anastasious accepted a few invitations from a few young men but she did not like the until she danced with her steward Matthew.
“You’re a fine dancer” said Anastasious
“Thank you, you are a divine dancer too your majesty” he said.
“L know” she said and flipped her hair back and laughed and the dance ended. Anastasious took him away into her bedroom and asked him
“Why did you call me a whore?” she asked.
“Because you were pregnant” he replied. “And unmarried” he continued.
“Oh” said Anastasious. “Did you ever think l was in love?” she questioned.
“No” he replied. “L thought you were just being a slut” he said.
“Well l wasn’t” she said. “In fact let me tell you something Matthew” she said coming towards him, “L love you” she said and kissed him.
“L love you too” was all he could find to say.
“Hmm” she said and laughed and kissed him even more.
“Oh so lets have sex” he said trying to piss her off.
“Yes lets have sex” she giggled and took her clothes off and he took his clothes off.
“L have a proposition for you” said queen Iodina to baby Jones nursemaid.
“What is it?” asked the nursemaid.
“Money if you give me the baby” she said.
“No, l will never do that” said the nursemaid. “And do me a favour please leave” said the nursemaid.
“No please consider my offer, l will make you rich if you do this” the queen said.
“No thankyou” said the nursemaid strictly and firmly.
“Listen you will give me the baby or l will kill you” said queen Iodina pointing a dagger to the nursemaids throat.
“Fine have the baby” the nursemaid said crying. Queen Iodina had snuck into the palace to take the baby for herself, selfish queen and had left with the baby.
“Why did l ever call you a slut?” questioned Matthew lying beside Anastasious.
“Because maybe l was” she smiled at him.
“Your majesty” the nurse maid said banging on the door.
“Come in” said the queen and hid Matthew under the covers.
“The baby it is gone, stolen by a woman who threatened to kill me if l didn’t give her the baby” the nurse said in a panicked voice.
“Oh no” said Anastasious. “Have they already left the palace?” she asked.
“L don’t know majesty” replied the nurse.
“Whoever it is and when l get my baby back l will kill whoever took it” Anastasious said angrily.
