Capítulo 14: Chapter 14 - Mother-In-Law Knows About Her Magic
It felt like a cloud-covered Buckingham Palace. Princess Ivy's face looks so depressed because she feels awkward while having breakfast with her in-laws and husband.
Her mind replayed what his father-in-law, King Thomas, had said about having children. Meanwhile, plus those who always do make love every day, but she also never got pregnant.
What was even more embarrassing was when King Thomas said without hesitation that he heard Princess Ivy's sighs and screams.
"Ivy, after this, follow me around in the horse-drawn carriage," said Queen Amelissa.
"Ah, fine, Mother."
"Where are you going, Mother, if I may find out?" asked Prince Theodoric curiously.
A pretty smile appeared on Queen Amelissa's lips, listening and watching how her son was curious about his wife's activities.
"Theo, your wife did not even ask, why did you ask?" asked Queen Amelissa.
Prince Theodoric looked at his wife at his side who just looked down enjoying hee breakfast. He saw the sad face of his wife. Then at once, he believed that his mother would not be as rude as his father.
"Very well, Mother. Take her around and if necessary, buy something you want. Ivy needs some fresh air," said Prince Theodoric.
King Thomas chuckled hearing his son's story. "Isn't it fresh here for her? Even though there are many gaps to enjoy the air around here," said King Thomas.
"Father, never compare anyone to yourself. What's there to be enjoyed here if you can not be kind to my wife, your daughter-in-law?" chirps Prince Theodoric still looking annoyed.
Princess Ivy lifted her face. Touched her husband's hand and shook her head so as not to have to defend her so hard.
"Thomas, it's too early to argue. Can I hear and feel the peace in this palace without you having to argue over things that should not be debated?" asked Queen Amelissa, who was also annoyed by her husband's selfishness and arrogance.
Suddenly King Thomas rose from his chair with a sigh. He said, "Ah, well ... I better-"
At that moment King Thomas returned to his seat. They stared at each other with faces bulging in shock.
Yes, Princess Ivy did purposely teach her father-in-law a little lesson. When Prince Theodoric and Queen Amelissa looked at King Thomas, at that moment she played magic with her eyes to make King Thomas sit back down and finish his breakfast.
"Who else? Why is this palace suddenly so terrifying?!" asked King Thomas getting annoyed.
"That means you have to finish your breakfast, my husband," said Queen Amelissa, as if she knew what had happened.
Inevitably, King Thomas finally finished his breakfast. He didn't even bother to get up from his seat again until he waited for the others to move, then he would follow too.
After breakfast, Princess Ivy and Queen Amelissa got ready to tour together. Prince Theodoric escorted them to the horse-drawn carriage. He looked at his wife as if afraid of something happening to her. Then he kissed her without feeling embarrassed in front of his parents.
"You must return before nightfall," said Prince Theodoric.
"I'll confirm that, Theo."
"I also told Mother to go home early. Zehron will accompany the coachman and you," said Prince Theodoric again.
Princess Ivy chuckled. She was very happy to be cared for so deeply by her husband. Then with the help of Prince Theodoric's hand, Princess Ivy climbed into the horse-drawn carriage. She sat beside her mother-in-law.
They then left the palace waving to Prince Theodoric.
The journey begins in silence. Only the hoofs of horses could be heard stepping on the road.
Princess Ivy was starting to feel awkward when the two of them were like this with her mother-in-law. She was confused about what to say while Queen Amelissa just smiled the whole way.
"It is the first time I've seen my son so in love with a woman, Ivy," Queen Amelissa spoke up.
Princess Ivy cracked a smile as she lowered her head. "Thank you, Mother. I love him so much too. For the first time in my life."
Now Queen Amelissa was facing her with a tilt of her head. "You've never had a boyfriend at all?" she asked.
"Without any respect, I've never owned one. Prince Theodoric is the one for me."
A look of surprise appeared on Queen Amelissa's face. Her hands, which were wrapped in gloves, closed her lips in awe at Princess Ivy's confession.
"Meaning, my son is really lucky to have you, Ivy. I am sorry, I've always thought you were just like any other woman, who may have been in contact with other men, and getting Theodoric was just a bonus for you. But in truth, I was wrong in many ways, "explained Queen Amelissa.
Princess Ivy didn't know that her mother-in-law had thought like that. But even so, she was happy because of her honesty.
"If I am being honest, Mother. I did not even know Prince Theodoric was the Prince of Kensington Palace. For real," said Princess Ivy. "If at that time he did not dare to stop my carriage and introduce himself, then I do not know where he came from. But I do know that there will be a party at the palace at that time," she added.
Queen Amelissa grabbed her daughter-in-law's hands. She caressed her and kept smiling at her. "Then you are very special, Ivy. Theodoric can not hurt you, though I know he wouldn't, and even my husband ... ah, forgive him if he's still being so selfish and hate you. But I can assure you that as long as I'm around and Theo by your side, you will be fine."
"Mother, you do not need to worry. Trust me, I'm used to dealing with Father-like traits. You do know that I was born of a woman who comes from a lower class, right?"
Queen Amelissa nodded. "And your mother has magic. I know, Ivy. Because Queen Melanie helped me once. Now, answer me, do you have magic too? You do not have to be surprised, because I will keep your secret. Even regarding Queen Melanie's magic, I hid it for her safety."
