Ensuring the Future
King Westerly stood looking out the window. Things had grown quiet, surely all was well now. But he would wait before going and seeing if it was fine. Dawn had just broken when things quieted down and now a calming effect lay over the castle and all its' inhabitants.
He knew that he had a lot to do; a lot depended on the outcome of the event that had started yesterday and went through the night. The King had become unsure of what to do. This had happened just one other time, he didn't know then and he hadn't known last night.
The King wondered when he would be told what had happened. At that moment he heard footsteps coming closer.
"Your Highness," One of the Queen's servants spoke bowing to him.
He turned and looked at him, "News?"
"Yes. All is well. Your wife has delivered a daughter."
"Thank you. I will be there shortly."
The King turned back to the window. Another daughter. It wasn't that he didn't love his first daughter, it just meant that he would have to ensure that this new one would have charge of the Kingdom, well her and the King she would marry. He couldn't allow his Kingdom to fall into disarray. His oldest daughter was already betrothed to another Prince of the Northern Kingdom. He was the same age. Once married she would live there; which meant that this daughter and whoever she married would be here in this home.
He thought of all the ones who had children. As he went over it he remembered a Kingdom in the East, past the Dying Woods and over the Barren Plains. They had a son. He was not betrothed; King Westerly was fairly certain of, that would be a wonderful place to start. Yes, he would send over his best Ambassador and see what could be done with that.
Quickly he called for a servant to come and get the Ambassador as well as a scribe. It wasn't long before Ambassador appeared before the King.
"Your highness." He replied with a slow and steady bow.
"I wish you to take a message to King Antony of the Northern Kingdom. I wish to see if he would like to set in a betrothal with my youngest daughter."
"Of course."
The scribe soon appeared and quickly took his seat and picked up the quill. King Westerly spoke a proposal and it was soon written down. "Quick now, have that sent straight away and find his answer immediately. Then return. I must now before it is too late.
Once the King was sure that the Ambassador was off with guards he went to see his new daughter. The other wouldn't be up for a few more hours. His two daughters. He loved them both already. He would have everything settled for them. They would both be betrothed and ready for a life they would led, even if it wasn't for a while. He nodded satisfied. Yes, his two daughters would be fine. His daughters, Elizabeth and Sydney.
