Later when I was alone my thought turned to Nick. I miss him terribly; I couldn't stop thinking about how I could get back. I didn't know how. I was hoping maybe Nick could come and get me.
There was a knock at the door, after saying come in, in came one of the queens maidservants.
"the queen wishes to see you in her chambers, my lady." She said.
"ok I am coming now." I said as I followed her out of my room.
As I walked into the queens room I bowed politely and said:
"You wanted to see me your highness?"
"Good morning, child." she asked me.
"Good morning your highness." I said politely bowing.
"Please call me mother or mum not your highness. I mean after the wedding and all." She said.
"Yes you're... mother." I said watching her as she ushered two of her maidservants who were standing next to a chest of pure gold.
"This is a pre-wedding gift. It was my wedding dress and I would be honored if you will wear it." She said as the maidservants pulled out a beautiful white dress with gold edgings.
"It is beautiful. I would be honored to wear it thank you." Before I could stop myself I hugged her. When I pulled back to apologies she had her hand up ready to say that was ok.
I left her after the queen asked the two maid servants to carry the chest to my room. I had a little nap after that. I was so tired of thinking that I kind of just fell asleep. Next thing I knew Harry was banging on the door.
"Summer are you in there? Hello." He said as he banged on the door.
"Coming." I yelled half yawning.
"Are you ok? You didn't turn up to lunch. I thought you were sick or something." He said with a panicky voice.
"Yes I am fine. I just fell asleep. Your mother turned up and gave me a gift and I kind of just fell asleep." I said looking at him.
"A gift?" he said looking puzzled. So I showed him the dress. "She approves of you. This is excellent." He said hugging me.
"What do you mean 'she approves of me?'" I asked?
"Exactly that. She approves of you. She likes you." He said with a smile.
"So you thought that she wouldn't?" I said stepping back.
"No, no it is just that most of the other girls she wouldn't like and I was scared that she wouldn't like you but that wouldn't have changed anything." He said defending.
"What do you mean that wouldn't change a thing. You wouldn't have been able to be pharaoh if your mother and father didn't approve of me?" I said walking towards the window.
"I wouldn't have worried about not being with pharaoh without you I would be nothing. So I would rather be with you then be pharaoh even if my parents disapproved." He said stepping closer to me.
"So even if your parents disapproved and denied you the right to be pharaoh you would give it up for me?" I said turning around and looking into his eyes.
"Yes I would!" he said back to me. I smiled up at him thinking that no one had ever done or said anything like that to me. He wrapped his arms around me and leant in to kiss me. It was so soft that it felt as if it wasn't even there. It was the gentlest kiss I have ever received.
We stood for a while looking out of the window. I was thinking to myself that I had betrayed nick by saying yes to Harry and now kissing him, but how am I going to get back to apologize.
