Palace Maze

Eleanor had been excited to meet with her friend Sienna, wanting some girl time and to get out of the palace to stretch her legs. She walks out to where she was told to meet her, smiling when she saw her reading.

"Lady Sienna, my dear!"

Margaret was told that her best friend Elizabeth was waiting for her in the garden. She crossed her fastly at the party and she couldn't wait to see her again. When she arrived, she noticed that Elizabeth's belly grown since last time she saw her. She smiled hugging her tightly "Elizabeth! Oh I missed you, my dear. I see the baby is growing. Tell me, how do you feel? Do you have nausea in the morning? And what about Klaus? Ohh..too many questions, sorry.." She giggled keeping one hand on her belly

Margaret grabbed her arm and she kept on walking with her along maze "Yes..things between Anthony and I are much better. We're going to leave for our honeymoon. It was my fault. I made him feel unwanted. He believed I was in love with another man..but this is not true. I love Anthony, Elizabeth. No one else.." She smiled brightly "And I am happy for you and Klaus. You look so happy, finally. And you can count on me when you'll give birth. I shall be at your side. Are you nervous for meeting his sister?"

Margaret was surprised by her question. But she was probably too busy with Klaus to notice the tension between her and Anthony because of Cesare "I am talking about Cesare, of course. When he came back at court..we met in the Hall. And then he brought me in the Forest. He..he kissed me. But I swear it was nothing important, Elizabeth. I love Anthony.." She sighed continuing to walk "I don't know how, but Anthony came to know. And obviously he got angry. But all this belongs to the past. I just want to start a new life with Anthony. And..giving him children.." She said glancing at Elizabeth's belly "Oh and don't worry: Klaus's sister will welcome you warmly in their family.."

Margaret laughed with her. Now she just wanted to focus on her marriage to build a family "Oh Elizabeth! Our children can be friends..or even falling in love with each other once they'll grow up. I can't wait to have a nice belly like yours. The midwife said that I can still have children.." She looked around garden giggling secretely "Would you like having a boy or a girl?"

Margaret joined her on the bench. She wondered how was being pregnant, and how she will feel once her turn will come "A girl, really? Oh how nice. Klaus must be happy. And you are not too big, but you should wait before travelling. She will be blonde with blue eyes..you'll see. Just like you.." She sighed looking up at the sky "I have the feeling that Anthony wants a boy. Hoping that I'll succed in getting pregnant..Have you already choosed a name?" She asked turning her eyes to her

Margaret sighed deeply. She hoped that Elizabeth was right "Yes..I really hope so, Elizabeth. Building a family is very important to me. But..at the same time I don't want to pressure him. I know he loves me..but I fear he could get tired.." She took another deep breath but then she smiled "Oh..surely I am wrong. I can't wait to help you to give birth your little lady.." She giggled

Margaret smiled "Oh I think it's normal, Elizabeth. Klaus cares for your baby. Men are usually careful when their wife is with child. Passion will be back after you'll give birth, you'll see.." She rolled her eyes and she sighed "And anyway, don't ask it to me. Anthony is always careful too. So much careful that we never..oh you know.." She added blushing

Margaret took a breath. She thought about her marriage. She was making many efforts cause she wanted it to work "I tried to talk with him, but sometimes he seems not totally involved with me. I don't know..I love him. I hope that things will improve during our honeymoon at Allington Castle.." She smiled touching Elizabeth's hand

Margaret looked at her friend in silence. But once she finished talking she shook her head and smiled "Yes..yes, that's what I wanted. I am not complaining, Elizabeth. I know Anthony loves me, and I love him back. He had a big patience with me. That's why I wish to make him happy giving him many children.." She looked around garden while wind was blowing amon her hairs. She turned to Elizabeth again "I think I should go to prepare my lugguage. Shall you accompany me inside Palace? You know, I have often stomach ache, recently.." She said frowning and bringing her hand on her stomach

Margaret leaned her hand on Elizabeth's arm shooking her head "Oh no..there is no need. I am fine. Sometimes happens. Maybe I eat something bad..I don't know. I just wish your company until the Palace. I'll write to you from Allington Castle. And I'll tell you every detail about our honeymoon.." She was still rubbing her stomach but she giggled "Oh well..not every detail, perhaps.."
