She had not been upset at his sudden departure. A lot of things had changed in Seracia, and quite suddenly as well; it seemed natural to her that the King might want to talk to his newly-wedded son. About what exactly, she was not sure. But yet another whimper left her throat, wearing her neediness on her sleeve like she never had before. Why contain it, when she loved him so? When she longed for his presence so terribly when he was gone? She felt his teeth on her ear, and she continued to press into him. Maverick's voice was soothing to her, and she relaxed against his touch. He had things to tell her. "Good things, I hope," he murmured sleepily, turning to follow him when he took the lead. He explained they'd found islands off the shore ... they talked ... and Gerhardt might be stepping down? What exactly would that mean for the young couple? "Why would he want to do a thing like that?" She could not imagine a man who had the throne to his Kingdom wanting to forfeit it -- but then again, she had never been in a position of power for as long as Gerhardt had. And that was how she expected things to go; either he would forfeit the throne to Maverick and herself, or they would obtain it by default when he died. She hoped that would not be the case, for that would the most solemn way to rise to power. And her father-in-law- was beginning to grow on her. Maverick also mentioned he'd learned things about his father and mother -- she wondered what things. In due time, she was sure that he would tell her. But she was currently curious as to why he no longer wished to rule, and she gazed at him with curious eyes as they walked. Overhead the moonlight shone down on them, illuminating her husband's face, allowing her to watch his expression eagerly. |
