A queen gazed out her window, trying to follow the snowflakes as they drifted past her window. She sighed and placed her sewing pad into her lap. There was a jolt and the queen placed her hand onto her stomach already a few months into pregnancy.
"Oh, I wish I had a child with hair black like ebony, soft like silk. Skin pale as snow. Eyes black as coal. Lips pale as- wait! I messed up!"
But it was too late.
The midwife held the child up and into the waiting arms of Queen Maria di Angelo. The baby had black silky hair, pale skin and lips and deep black eyes. To top it off, it was a boy.
Maria sighed in disappointment.
"King Justin will not be happy. I wonder who will marry his second son."
She looked down at her only son and couldn't help holding a loving smile back.
"I guess I'll name you Nico. Prince Nico di Angelo. Second child and first son of Queen Maria di Angelo. Heir to the throne of the country Venice."
Sorry for the short chapter. Hopefully I'll find some time to add more.
