They entered the dinning hall, and as soon as they sat down, breakfast was served.

"I am sorry for us being late Your Majesties." Danielle apologized to King Francis and Queen Marie.

"Oh dear it was your wedding night, what should we expect. And what did we tell you Danielle, we are family now, Francis and I are like your own parents."

"Yes dear you should call us by our names or else mum and dad" smiled at her the King.

After breakfast…

Queen Marie turned to her husband and told him, "I think it is time to tell them Francis."

Henry and Danielle glanced at one another and then they both turned at Francis and Marie.

"Yes yes. Well Henry, after a long conversation with your mother… well we both decided that both of you deserve a … honeymoon."

Henry stared at his father with his mouth opened, he wasn't prepared for this. His father was always specific that he has obligations and these should come first of all.

"Don't look at me like that Henry," said the king as he saw his son staring at him, "you should pack your bags and leave for three weeks, the first thing tomorrow morning."

Danielle hugged both Marie and Francis, "thank you your maj… I mean mum, dad, this is so wonderful. We promise that as soon as we come back we will start our work immediately. Especially Henry." she said as she turned and smiled at her husband.

As soon as Henry recovered from his shock, he thanked his parents and promised them that as soon as they are back he will work.

Danielle started to pack her bags although the servants didn't want her to. But she was too well used to do things on her own and sometimes she was uncomfortable at being served. While she was packing she noticed a book that just yesterday it was given to her, she didn't want to leave it behind. The book was Utopia.

Flashback

"Utopia"

"It means paradise" her father said "it is quite a tick book for an eighth year old, but I thought we could add it to our library."

"Will you read some?"

"It has been a long day"

"And you are a husband now" – Danielle said

"Yes, yes. But a father first and forever. We have been two peas in a pot for a long time you and I! Come on"

"Did you see the way they ate their supper? It was perfect… like a dance." Danielle told him

"Did you like them?"

"Very much!"

"Good. Good, because I have to go to Avignon in a fortnight."

"But you just got back." Danielle said sad. Then she asked, "For how long?"

"Three weeks" her father answered her.

"One."

"Two."

"One." They argued playfully. Then they played rock, paper and scissor to help them decide. Danielle won.

"Alright… one" her father smiled. "Now go to sleep. Sleep tight."

It was such a sweet moment. And it had to be the last one for them, before he left her.

At that time Henry entered the room and saw her lost in her own world. He wrapped his arms around her and as soon as he did she jumped.

"Henry! You scared me" she chuckled as she said so.

"You were so lost my princess. What were you thinking?

"I was thinking of that very last moment I had with him." Danielle told Henry.

He looked at her curiously, "him who?" – He said, making it clear that he was jealous.

Danielle laughed, "it is not what you are thinking Henry. I was thinking of my father!"

Then he realized that she was holding the book he gave her the day before. He knew that that awful Marguerite destroyed her beloved book. He knew that nothing could replace the original book that her father gave her. But he wanted to show her how much he cared for her.

"Can I help you to finish packing the bags"

"No I am almost ready…. Here done." She smiled as she put in the bags the last things.

"Good then we better go to bed" he smiled at her mischievously. She approved and reached for him. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed for a long time.

Until both Henry and Danielle began to undress without pulling their lips apart. As they both undressed, Henry deposited Danielle in their bed. He was amazed by her beauty. He kissed her soft lips and touched her creamy and delicate skin with his tender touch. They made love with a passion that night and they both knew that they were to be together forever; one heart, one body and one soul for the rest of time. Until death tares them apart.
