I looked at him, not sure what to answer. Shall I say yes? He would leave me alone if I would. But if I would say no, I would tell him the truth. Isn't it better that way? A short silence filled the room, as he waited and waited and waited. I couldn't answer. He sighed loudly.

"I guess…" I finally said "…I don't know…" I added "…maybe."

"It's all right. We are married for two month now and it's not a crime that you don't feel the same I feel for you yet." he smiled. "But I am optimistic and I can wait." he said, pulling me closer. I rested my head on his chest, as he began to stroke my hair, just like Beckett did. But when Sinjin was doing it, it felt wrong. It felt forced. I sighed.

"I apologize" I whispered.

"Everything will turn out right for us." he whispered back, kissing the top of my head. I closed my eyes and pretended to fall asleep, so he would think I liked him. An hour later, after I made sure he fell asleep himself, I sneaked out to see Beckett. I have to admit though, that it was pretty late, but he told me to come, if it's save and that he would be awake.

I walked to the other side of our estate, a scarf around my shoulders, to protect me from the cold summer breeze. As I reached his room, I looked around if someone followed me or if someone spied on me. Little did I know that someone really was spying on me. The door opened ajar and I entered. I saw Beckett and smiled. He returned my smile.

"Did someone follow you?" he asked as he looked out, to check if someone was there.

"No, I don't think so." I answered. He closed the door and turned around, walking towards me. He gave me a small peck on my lips and sat down on his bed, patting besides him, gesturing me to sit down. I walked towards him, but immediately stopped, when I saw two people sitting on chairs. I was shocked. First I looked at Beckett, then I looked at them and again at Beckett.

"Who…who are they?" I asked, getting nervous. He stood up, laying his hands on my shoulders in a comforting way.

"Lighten up, would you?" he said. "They are my friends. I got to know them when I first arrived here." he finished, but when he noticed, that I still wasn't convinced he added "They are trustworthy." I nodded. I mustered them from head to toe. Then both of them stood up simultaneously. I took a step backwards, bumping into Beckett, who wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my head and whispered that everything is all right. Both of them took a bow.

"My name is André and I am one of the musicians on the court. It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Jadelyn." he said smiling. I nodded.

"My name is Robert and I am the best entertainer you ever get to see." he introduced himself.

"Of course. You would rather say the worst." a puppet said. I raised an eyebrow, while André and Beckett were laughing. Robert picked up the puppet and put his hand on the puppet's back.

"My name is Reginius and if you are bored of Beckett, you can always come to me…" he said in a flirtatious tone. I looked at him threateningly "…or not." he said gulping. I turned to Beckett and looked at him.

"I thought we were going to be alone." I said sadly. He smiled.

"They will leave now. They were waiting with me for you to come, so I wouldn't fall asleep." he explained.

"Are you tired?" I asked. He shook his head.

"As you entered I became wide awake." he said, kissing my forehead.

"I guess we will leave now." André said, winking. He and Robert turned to go.

"NOO, I want to stay and watch them!" Reginius objected. Robert put his hand over Reginius' mouth and looked at us in an apologetic way. They exited the room and we were finally alone.

"What a lunatic" I said, sitting down on Beckett's bed.

"You mean Robert?" he asked, sitting down next to me. I nodded.

"And his puppet." he laughed slightly. I let myself fall on his bed. He shored up with his elbow and bend down to kiss me on my lips. He pulled me closer and our kiss deepened. We undressed slowly as we broke apart.

"I love you, Jadelyn." he whispered, while kissing my neck.

"I love you, too." I whispered back. He was working his way down. As I closed my eyes, an apple tree appeared in front of me. A snake was wrapping itself around the tree, intensely looking at me.

'Jadelyn, Jadelyn. Taste an apple from this delicious apple tree. Come closer, take a bite. You won't regret it.' I came closer. Although I knew it was wrong, it felt right and I took an apple. 'That's good, that's great, now take a bite from this luscious red apple.' I looked at it and recognized Beckett's face in that apple. I brought the apple to my mouth and took a bite. I cast up my eyes, as a moan escaped my lips. That night Beckett and I came closer than before. We were one person.

I opened the door to my and Sinjin's bedroom silently. I lay down next to him, trying to make as few movements as possible. I turned to the side of the bed, so I wouldn't face him and closed my eyes.

"Where have you been?" Sinjin mumbled sleepily. I pressed my eyes hard together.

"I was in the closet." I whispered.

"Mhhm." he said, while throwing his arm around my waist. I didn't move.

The next day was great. Beckett and I made our daily promenades and Prince Sinjin was in the woods hunting with some of his noble friends.

"Jadelyn, I wanted to say, that I will never forget this wonderful night we had yesterday." he said, as we reached our gathering place. I smiled and we both sat down.

"I won't forget it either." I said, laying my head on his lap. He looked down at me, suddenly turning serious.

"Did Prince Sinjin get suspicious of us?" he asked, I shrugged.

"I don't think so. He once asked me if I was in love with you. I said no and he believed me. It won't be that hard to keep it from him. And now let us talk about things more pleasant." I said, attacking his lips.

Later, I entered my bedroom, to see Sinjin sitting on our bed. It seemed like he was in deep thoughts.

"How was your hunting trip?" I asked, acting interested. He looked at me and smiled.

"We shot two rabbits and a wild boar." he said proudly. I smiled.

"Uhm, Sinjin?" I said.

"Yes?" he asked, standing up and walking towards me.

"I have an answer." I said, looking down at my feet.

"An answer? For what?" he asked confused.

"For your question." I said looking at him. But after noticing that he didn't understand I added "The one you asked me last night."

"You mean if you love me?" he asked remembering. "I told you I can wai-"

"I do." I interrupted him.

"What?" he asked raising both of his eyebrows.

"I love you, Sinjin" I said, looking him deeply in the eyes.

AN: Confession! Why did she do this? We'll find out in the next chapter. ;)

So to clear some things up. When Jade said she was in the closet she meant she was on the toilet. Closet is an old-fashioned word for toilet. I don't know if you knew this (I didn't knew it), so I just pointed it out. Please don't feel offended or something like this if you already knew.

Reginius is a disgusting name. But it has the same meaning as Rex and I think the name Rex itself isn't really suitable for a story, which takes place in the 1400's.

So I've decided, that I'll make a smut one-shot of Bade, to describe the scene mentioned in the story more intensely. It will probably be up by tomorrow, but it's my first time writing something like that, so please be nice. Watch out!

So yeah, hope you all liked it and thank you for all the wonderful reviews. I really appreciate them :)

Don't forget to review!
