Kapitel 56: The String
Elizabeth Woodville, The Queen Of England:
I rushed back to the room in which people are celebrating, I do not know what they are celebrating, nor does it seem to matter. I rushed to my mother's side, who was watching everyone enjoy themselves, but she did not bother.
"I need to have a son" I said in a panic, I could not let Warwick have a heir before I did. That would only give him the upper hand. Then might parliament agree to have George become King, because while George might have an heir, Edward has only had girls, no boys. Then what shall we do, wait around for our death. George will not give the mercy Edward did.
My mother turned to look at me, questioning my reasons, but she seemed to have found out. She gave me a nod, and I turned to look around, as if nothing had happened. Creating no room for suspicion.

It was now dark out, my mother had taken me to the river, the one in which I had chosen my destiny. She held out 3 strings, "Choose. Choose which one you will draw in." I handpick the one in the middle, it's the one I always go for.
"This One." I voiced out, my decision. "Are You Sure?" My mother managed to whisper. All you can hear was the river flowing, but it managed to be too loud. "Yes."
"Very Well then." My mother grabs her scissors, from I do not even know where, and cuts the other two strings in which I did not choose. The only one left was the one I was holding. Then I slowly dragged my string out of the water. This would then tell me wether I was having a boy, or a girl. At the end of the string I find a spoon. "It's a baby spoon." In my hand I held a silver spoon.
"Turn it over." Following orders, I turn it over and there it is. A name. "Edward." My baby's name is going to be Edward. "Oh, mother I'm going to have a boy! Named Edward." I hug my mother, because finally I was going to give Edward a heir. And he was gonna have a bright future, as King If England. No one was going to stand in his way.
Now all I needed to do, was get pregnant. Which I think was going to be very easy...

I walk into Edward's office, and I started rubbing his back. I give him a soft kiss on his forehead, and then I walk back into the direction of my bedroom. "Come to bed, My Love." I could feel Edwards's burning eyes on my back.
