Update!
Chapter Twenty-Three: King's Secrets
"Well, first off, the King has an older brother." Maggie shared.
"I'm aware of that." Temperance responded. "What else can you tell us? Does he have and fear or weaknesses? Any weak points to his kingdom at all?"
Maggie thought about it a moment, then nodded. "Yes. His weakness is...young women." She blushed at this statement, almost in shame. "He has gotten a few of the younger maids and slave girls pregnant. By accident, of course. He just can't stay away from them."
Temperance nodded in understanding. "I see. Is there anything else?"
Maggie shrugged, before her eyes widened. "The Princess." She practically whispered.
"Princess? What princess?"
"His oldest child. He had her with a slave girl before I came of age to court with him. Her name is Reina. He calls her his 'treasure'. But he's kept her hidden from most everybody. She lives with her mother in a private suite in the West Wing."
Temperance's face lit up as she smiled. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" she said.
As she turned to leave, she was called back by Maggie. She turned, waiting for her cousin to speak. "Please," Maggie said, "Don't hurt her. She's still very young and she's a sweet girl."
"I wouldn't dream of hurting a child." Temperance assured her. "I'm still one myself."
Maggie nodded, in understanding, trusting her younger cousin to keep her promise.
When Temperance exited the room, she found Angela, Michelle, and Lance standing there, waiting for her.
"So?" Angela asked.
Temperance smiled. "Do you know a child in the palace by the name of Reina?" she asked.
Angela nodded. "Of course. She's one of the slave's daughters. Adorable little angel. Gotta wonder why she's in a different wing though."
"She's there," Temperance said, her smile widening, "because she's Jared's weakness."
I hope y'all liked that. Sorry it's so short (That's what HE said) but I am so absolutely tired and drowsy from all the rain we've been getting lately and no inspiration. Anyways, please REVIEW!
P.S. Comments on the finale?
