Moon Kingdom
"What do you think of the name Rose?" Serenity was curled up in bed with richard, discussing the name of their coming child.
"What if it's a boy?" Richard asked.
"What about Justin? I have always adored that name." Serenity said and leaned over her husband to blow out the candle that sat next to their bed.
"It sound wonderful." Richard said with a yawn and turned over to go to sleep.
Richard was a well-respected man with a family history to back him up. He was the fifth in a long line of great rulers. His father brought the kingdom of the Moon out of it's worst economic and political perios. Richard was picking up where his father had left off and bringing the kingdom into it's peak. With the young Serenity by his side he had doubts that he would fail.
As far as looks went, Richard was a handsome and young king. He was fairly short but no more than Serenity. Hair was something he was blessed with. A golden mat of hair; long and always pulled back into a ponytail, sat on his head. Richard's face was smooth and his eyes were the color of the sky. He was well built with giant arm muscles that held Serenity as she slept beside him.
"Richard?" Serenity asked. He opened an eye and turned to face his wife.
"You have always wanted to expand the kingdom, correct?" She propped herself up against a pillow and leaned in for an answer.
"Yes, I have." He answered.
"How would you feel about arranging a marriage between the unborn child and a child from Minthro? They have a wonderful land and would be a strong ally." Richard thought for a moment.
"I'm guessing that you and Melissa have already agreed to this?" Serenity blushed and kissed her husband. "I think it's a wonderful idea." He smiled and rolled over to go to sleep. Serenity was beaming as her hands caressed her stomach. It would only be nine more months before her child would be born into the world.
The next morning was full of preparation for the arrangement talks. Thomas had called early in the morning to tell Richard he was coming. The servants laid a golden cloth out over the crystal table in the meeting room. All the window shades were pulled open and the brilliant ray of the sun's shone through.
The floor was freshly polished and glistened as Richard walked across it. He set out the agreement papers on the table and made sure that the two chairs held his best seat cushions. He patted them down and when he was satisfied, Richard closed the doors and walked down to the entryway to await Thomas.
Thomas arrived right on time. His beautiful wife, Melissa, was by his side and eager to see Serenity. Thomas followed Richard into the meeting room while Melissa and serenity went out to the gardens.
"It's been some time." Richard said with his hands clasped behind his back.
Thomas nodded and followed Richard into the meeting room.
"I hear your wife is with child." Thomas said. He was eager to get on with the procedure.
"She is." Richard pulled up a chair and sat down with Thomas. A servant brought the two a glass of water and left. Richard gulped the water while Thomas nursed at it. "If Serenity were to have a girl I would like to arrange for her to marry Seth. An alliance between our worlds would be great. The land of your kingdom would suit the moon greatly." Richard skipped the formalities and went in for the kill.
"I agree." Thomas said. Richard nudged the paper across the table and tossed Thomas a pen.
"This is a glorious day." Richard said as Thomas scrawled out is name on the agreement.
"Our families will thrive under this agreement. Seth will rule the kingdom well when you are gone." Richard beamed with joy. He knew that Seth held a strong character even at his young age. Richard wrote his Hancock under Thomas' and the two shook hands. It was going to be the beginning of the greatest dynasty for the Kingdom.
Little did either party know that the dynasty would crumble because of the two that wanted to create it.
