Juliet Prinsen Bedchamber

"Then it is set when he arrives bring him to me."

She said to him.

Inigo nodded again

Absolutely, Your Highness. Now, with your permission, I need to go. I have some diplomatic matters to deal with about Queen Joanna of Castille. But if you need me, don't hesitate to call me, Princesa..

"Thank you for coming."

She said to him.

Inigo stood up and bowed deeply

Mi senora..

Then he smiled and left the room

Juliet laid in her bed resting to the doctor's orders as her ladies in waiting set with her. She was close to the birth of her child.

I had been asked to meet with a Princess in her own chamber the thought was nerve raking as the only Princess on my mind was that of sweet Beatrice. I knocked on this Princess door and sighed heavily.

"You may enter."

She said with a smile hoping it was her new cousin she was to meet.

"You do know we are family I am just wanting to met my mother's family."

She said to him.

"Then leave."

She said to him with a anger in her voice and looks away from him. Her ladies in waiting looked shocked at want has happen.

After going into labor a few hours later a baby girl was born. One of the ladies in waiting rushed off to tell King Richard of the birth of his great-niece. Juliet was holding her daughter in her arms. She looked down at the face of her new born daughter and smiled. "What shall I call you my sweet daughter?"She said with a smile on her face.

A servant entered in the room and bowed

"Your Highness, the King is here.."

Richard walked into room and smiled as he saw Juliet in bed. He came closer her bed

My dear Juliet! I'm so happy seeing you here with your baby! Hope you're alright. It's a boy or a girl?

He asked, looking smiling at the baby in her arms

Juliet looked up and smiled as her uncle walked into the room."My dearest uncle it is a girl. This is your great-niece Elizabeth Grace Prinsen."She said with a smile on her face.

Richard smiled looking at the baby

She is very cute, Juliet. And very healthy, thank God. May I hold her?

He asked extending his arms

"You may."

She said handing her uncle Elizabeth Grace.

Richard took the baby in his arms and smiled

She is beautiful. And she looks like you, Juliet. God bless her..

He kissed the baby's forehead softly

"Uncle can I ask you something?"She asked him.

Richard looked at his niece while rocking slowly the baby in his arms

Of course, Juliet. You can..

He answered

"My brother wants me home he wants me to have nothing to do with you. What do I do uncle?""She asked him looking at him.

Richard frowned

Why he doesn't want you to have nothing to do with me, Juliet?

He asked surprised, still holding the baby in his arms

"I am not sure uncle but he wants me and Elizabeth Grace back in Netherlands."She said softly.

Richard placed the baby in her mother's arms slowly before replying

I can't understand the reason he wants you back, Juliet. You just gave birth, and your daughter is too little to travel. So..tell him that it's no possible, for now..

"I think he fears his enemies will use me and the baby to get to him." She said as her baby girl falls asleep.

Richard took a breath, wondering what was going on in Netherlands

Until you'll be under my protection, no one can use you or the baby. Do you want me to write to him?

He asked
