Yes love as with every passing moment I fall more in love with you as going these great lengths of time without you shall be hard, but it shall make me enjoy these type of moments even more so. She tells me that she is not a fan of wine making me laugh a little. This is alright my love in Italy you begin drinking wine with your meals from an early age. I do enjoy wine espeically the wine that comes from the grapes grown in my private vineyard outside the palace back home. I do enjoy a stroll through the vineyard to gather my thoughts. It is quite a peaceful place. Orange juice is very good as well my favorite type of juice I must say especially in the morning. I feel her hands interlace within mine causing a wide smile to come across my face as I hold her hand a little tighter. Yes it has been so unreal to me as well. To meet and fall in love as we have. Nothing shall make me happier than marrying you, having children, and raising a large close knit type family love.

Emilie nodd a understanding look on her face.
Yes, me too, it's make me sad to know that we will soon be separate but it will make me even more appreciate each moment I spend in your compagny. By the way, I wanted to ask you, when do you intend to leave ? do you think that you will have the time to be introduced to my daughter before to leave ?
She smile softly.
I understand people who appreciate fine wine, my whole family love it very much too, but myself I hadn't taste for it, aside for thoses that are mixed to honey or other sweetening ingredients, like hypocras for exemple, but even in this case, I do prefer to drink some fresh grapp juice or even to bite in some juicy grapes freshly gathered. But I do find vineyards very beautiful, I loved to take strolls in the one that was near to my family castle and eat some fresh grappsand I would like very much to take a stroll in yours some day. Oranges are my preferred fruit ever, I have discover this fruit while my journey in Portugal , these wall a full of oranges there, I love to drink its juice, at any moment of the day, but I even prefer to eat directly in the juicy fruit.
Her eyes shining with joy and emotion, she look in his eyes, her hand squeezing his softly.
Our meeting, falling in love and love confession has been like a dream, the better dream I ever could had made ! Me too, nothing could make me happier than to marry you, live all my life with you, have many healty children and build a large, loving and knit family with you, it's the better future that I can imagine and I want to live it, more than anything.

Well my love of course I do not intend to leave before spending some time with sweet Olympe. I would enjoy that very much. I think perhaps a few more days, and thenI must depart back to Milan to catch up on my duties.I finish my glass of wine and dismiss the servants as I refill the glass myself. Yes well wine is not for everyone I suppose. I do have one of the greatest wine makers in the world back home who make some of the sweetest wine that you have ever tasted. Some say it is some of the most expensive wine made throughout the entire world. It all comes from my own private vineyards so this pleases me very much. I would like very much a stroll through the veineyards especially at first light as the morning fog sits close to the ground as the sun basks the beautiful countryside. It is quite like looking out on the hills of heaven. I do enjoy to share these things with you my love as it shall always be close to my thoughts every second we are apart. I as well enjoy oranges very much. As I shall make a royal decree of there to be many ornage trees planted about the palace so that my love shall always have her favorite fruit fresh, and daily. I smile at her winking lovingly. Yes my love this does feel as if in a dream, a dream I do not wish to wake from. I take a bite of the succulent duck upon my plate savoring the taste. So tell me love of your favorite dishes so that I may inform my chefs? I shall like to bring chefs from England and perhaps from France so that your favorite dishes may be prepared at your request. I do wish for you to be the most comfortable and the most happy in Italy with me. I squeeze her hand a little as I bring it to me lip gently kissing it enjoying the sweet aroma of it.

Emilie smile softly in hearing his answer.

She take a sip of her glass, eat some vegetable and bread while listening attentively to his description of his vineyard, trying to imagine it's landscape with a dreamy her on her face.

She smile in thinking to Olympe and giggle softly as he wink to her and look in his eyes lovingly.

She eat some of her meal and reflect to his question.

And I must admit that I am a bit sweet tooth too, so I do like cakes, cookie, fruits pies and hot milk sweetened with honey ! And you, what are your favourite meals, my love ?

Yes I would quite enjoy getting to spend some time with darling Olympe as my council requests me to leave back for Italy as soon as I can to tend to some delicate matters so I am still unsire if I shall stay past tomorrow for I must ensure that my country is being run properly. Yes the vineyards. Olympe and our other children shall have quite fun one day running and playing there as that has been a dream of mine. To sit upon the chair near the rear of the palace which overlooks the vineyard which happens to be one of my favorite spots to sit and relax, think, read, or do any other type of activities of that nature. the view is amazing as Lake Como sits to the left, the hills of the countryside to the right and the vineyard below. I have always dreamed to sit in this place and watch my children play from afar with a fine glass of italian wine and a loving and kind woman there by my side to enjoy this with me. i have already sent a letter to my most loyal vast to begin searching for some orange trees as well as the proper places to plant them so that they shall be producing oranges by the time you and Olympe finally make it to Italy. As far as food being Italian I do enjoy pasta very much as well as many different meats. My favorite meals include Orecchiette, Tagliatelle , and cotoletta alla milanese. I do love cheese as well with bread as well as the italian bread we have with some vinegar a favorite snack of mine. I do also enjoy sweets as well as we have some of the finest chocolates around. Armand laughs as Emilie looks a bit puzzled by the first of the foods he had told her. He laughs a little. Pardon me my love but I shall show you these dishes once you come to Italy. It mostly consists of pastas with various sauced with different types of meats with it. Just then a musician playing as violin come sin and smiles beginning to play a slow and classic romatic italian tune the ones of which the drivers of the gondolas sing to their guests that they ferry about the great canals of Venice. I wipe my face and stand offering my hand to her. I brought this young man in as a suprise as I was quite impressed with his knowledge of romantic italian tunes from hearing his performances in the great hall. Would you care to dance with me my love. I smile lovingly towards her.

Emilie feel a bit saddened to learn that he would have to leave so soon, while understandy the necessity that he have to make sure his country is run properly.
Oh I understand my love, but then, I hope that you could see her tomorrow ? even briefly.
She smile in imagining herself sat by his side at his vinyard looking at their children playing together among the vines, their youngnest one sat on her laps.
It sound really a wonderful place with hills of the countryside, the vinyard and the lake, myself I adore to sat at a beautiful spot and relax inadmiring the landscape while daydreaming a little or reading and I would like very much to discover it with you, spend time there with you by my side, talking together amourously while looking at our children playing among the vines ...
Amazed that he have yet think to give the order to his vast for find some oranges trees and a place where to implante them, she smile and caress his hands with her fingers.
Oh thank you, my love, I appreciate mostly this kind attention.
She lean over and kiss his lips softly, then smile, take a sip of her goblet and eat the rest of her meal and wipe her lips with her napking while listening to him as a talk to her about italian food, the air a bit puzzled since all these foods seem very exotic at her ears and she can't imagine how they look like, she take a sip of her juice and laugh.
Indeed, I would to see dishs of it at my arrival in Italy, because I must know that I have never taste nor even seen any of these meals, , so I don't see how they look like, I don't even know what pastas are, but I am sure it must be very good since it's seem to be important in your country. Chocolate ? it come from New World isn't it ? I heard that it's the most delicious thing ever and I would like to taste it ! And I am glad that there seem to be good cheese in Italy ! there is delicious cheeses in France, but in England not really ! so I miss to eat good cheese since I live here !
She giggle and add more seriously.
I look forward discover all of Italy, its culinary art, its culture and traditions, its countryside, all of it ! I know only about its great painters, notably thoses from Florence, I have discover their painting in books at the library, and even as miniuature reproductions on paper in a book's pages, it's magnificent, notably Botticelli, it's my preferred one among all thoses that I know, his style of painting is so different of others ones, it's look inspirated by angels.
She turn in seein enter a musician with his violin and start to play, her face take a dreamy air and a smile appear on her lips as she listen to this beautiful music, its air is swinging and she feel the envy to get up and danse, when he offer her his hand and propose her to danse, she take it softly and get up immediatly with enthousiasm
Of course my love !, with pleasure ! thank you for this wonderful surprise, I find this music magnificent. I warn you that I have never dance on this kind of music, so I am going to follow you !

Yes of course my love as I promise to spend some time with Olympe before my departure. I do wish I had more time to spend with her, however I am sure that the time shall come for that in the very near future. Yes indeed a house full of children would be a little bit of heaven for me, and having a big sister such as Olympe our children shall indeed be very lucky. Also to have your looks should we have a daughter I fear she to be very spoiled indeed almost as much as Olympe. I smile at her admiring her beautiful features by the candlelight. I drink more wine from my glass. She speaks of the meals I have described an not knowing much of them. Yes love these dishes are not common place here in England though I do hope that perhaps in the future with stronger ties with England that the chocolates and pastas shall one day make its way here so that those other than the Italians and those close to us. I am sure that you shall enjoy the fine Italian foods. I do look forward to showing you the great culture of Itay. Yes I do enjoy paintings very much so. I have had the pleasure of knowing the great painter Michelangelo. I have had him do various paintings around my palace as he is quite talented and I do so admire his work. My other favorite painters include Cimabue, Duccio, and Bernardo Daddi. I think that Italy does have some of the finest painters the world has ever known as would enjoy very much showing you these great paintings as well as many other things. As she stands and comes to me i take her into my arms and show her the way that I had been taught to dance to a romantic slow tune. We then dance slowly about the room gazing into the others eyes. Passion stirs from deep inside me for this woman as never before. I desire to know her in every way. To know her mind, and her heart as well as her body. Do you enjoy this tune and dance love as in Italy we are renowned for our romantic ways as well. I smile to her and kiss her soft lips holding her close to me and enjoying the dance.

Emilie smile happily in hearing his answer she nodd.
I am glad to hear it, I think it's important that she know about our future together since it will also concern her directly and to get to know you better since you will become daughter and father. Of course, you will be able to spend much more time with her in the near future. Maybe you could join me in her bedroom tomorrow, if it's allright for you.
Her face take a dreamy air as she imagine the children that they will have together.
Me too, having full of children with you sound like heaven to me, indeed Olympe will surely be a wonderful big sister for them and I think that all of them will be very spoiled ! like Olympe is yet being !
She look in his eyes with love and admiration in hers.
It's true, these dishs aren't commun in England, I even would say that they aren't present at all nor knowed here and in France neither. I hope that we will be able to renforce the links of Italy with England and France, so maybe they will discover italian food.
She nodd, a soft smile on her lips.
I am sure that I will like that and I look forward discover italian culture with you, my love. Michelangelo ? yes I heard about him too, he is evocate in the book I have read, a great artist, I am happy that you have paintings of him in your palace, so I will be able to discover them ! I don't know the others painters that you have evocate, but I would like to discover their paintings some day. I am delighted to hear that Itamy do have the finest artists of the world, because I do adore arts and culture and so I think that I am going to adore this country.
She put her arm around his shoulders and follow his steps, learning a slow dance totally different of all theses that she know, then letting him lead her, she soon forget that she is dancing, her body moving like by itself in following Armand's moves and the rythm of the music. As they look in each others's eyes, she feel herpassion even increasing, hardly believing that this man who is everything that she have always dream of and want is hers and that she will spend all her life with him, getting even more amourous as she get to know him better, she smile to him softly.
Yes, love, I love it very much, it's very romantique, yourself are being very romantique and I am spending a wonderful evening with you, my love.
She kiss his lips, then she lean her head to his shoulder tenderly, smelling his skin's sweet odour, feeling nearly intoxicated, her eyes half-closed, feeling relaxed, serene, her heart full of happiness and love.

Yes tomorrow would be good indeed as I look forward to the time I get to spend with her. Yes I believe our children shall be very spoiled indeed, however I do wish to keep them humble as well so that they may recognize the plight of our country men and women. Thankfully my father ensured that I stayed humble during his time as King. I do hope that being married to you and having your ties with France and England that this would be so. It seems unless you are Italian or are a constan visitor you shall not enjoy our fine foods or culture. Yes we do have the most talented painters in the world. Michelangelo is a strange man indeed, but one of the most talented men I have ever met or read about. Perhaps the opportunity shall arise when I shall introduce you to him. I smile to her and lean down kissing her soft lips as we dance slowly to the romantic tunes as I hum the lyrics. I am glad you enjoy our evening my love as I do hope to intoxicate you with my romantic ways quite often. I smile as she leans her head onto my shoulder as I smell the sweet scent from her lovely curls as I run my fingers through her hair. I am quite enjoying the evening even though I know soon it shall come to an end.

Yes, me too I want them for remain modest and know what life is for most of people, I will certainly spoil them, give them all my love and make sure that they don't lack of anything and can enjoy the precious happiness and pleasures that life can bring us, but I will be severe about some principles like respect toward people and modesty ... as I am yet being with Olympe in fact, at last trying to be as much as possible. Indeed you are modest person and it's one of the things I appreciate the most in you, my love, I think it's important virtue.
She feel happy as she imagine how she could help to renforce the links of Italy with France and England, hoping that she could succed in, thinking that it will be easier when her friend Anne will have become queen of England.
Yes, I do think that my personal tie to England and to France should help to renforce the ties with Italy and allow people of these country to discover italian food and culture and I hope it will be so, my love. Oh, I would like that very much, my love, I heard that he is one of the better painters of the world indeed.
She join his kiss deeply, in hearing his words, her face take a soft and dreamy air.
You yet do intoxicate me, my love, more than I could tell in words.
She smile happily as she feel his fingers running through her hairs, keeping her eyes half-closed while listening to the beautiful music, wishing that this evening with him will never end, even if she feel that it can't last for ever.

Yes I agree as our son or sons shall have to endure the right of passage to manhood that me, my father, and all the way back to my great great grandfather have endured. I shall prepare them for this from when they are young boys all the way to their teenage years. So do not worry love they shall both be well prepared. As for Olympe and our daughters I would very much enjoy it if they would be involved in some type of charity work. Such as giving food and coin to the poor outside the palace, and things of that nature. The song ends as the violinist then exits the room leaving both of us completely alone. We stop dancing and stand there together in a sweet embrace. Well my love it seems as if the time has come for us to part for the evening as i know you shall not give yourself passionately to a man until you are married and this is one of the things I admire the most about you. I smile and take both her hands in mine and kiss them. Smiling lovingly to her under the dim light of the candlelight.

A soft air on her face, Emilie imagine the children that they will have in listening to him .
Yes, I am sure that you will prepare our son or sons properly for this important passage to men age, as yourself has been prepared, I surely will not be able to avoid to be worried for them, but I will feel proud of them when they will come back and I think it's important that your family's tradition perpetuate. About our daughter, I will care of their education and preparation to women life and in fact as queen I intend to do much charity works, so I will initiate them to it so they will naturally follow my steps in it and participate.
The music stop and Emilie see the musician leave the room, they stop to dance and remain embraced, she blush slighty and smile touched that he respect her virtue.
Indeed, my love, I prefer to wait nuptial night for give myself fully to you, I think it's better like that, I am happy and I admire you for showing that much respect for my virtue, I think it's better like that and our love worth it.
She shiver slighty as he kiss her hands, feeling her heart beating faster, full of happiness and love.
Oh my love, you make me so happy, I have spend a wonderful evening, I am going to miss you all the time until we will be together again. Can we tell that you join me in Olympe bedroom tomorrow morning ? I
Her face take a grave air as she think to the close moment of their long separation, when he will leave for Italy before herself join France, she squeeze his hand tenderly, look deep in his eyes lovingly.

Well It pleases me that you do respect my wishes for our sons and daughters. I would hope you would say that for I do wish my Queen and princesses to do such charity work. I am glad you already planned so. i look into her eyes desiring her more and more as each day passes and longing to be with her in the sweetest of embraces as one. Yes I do know how you have had unfortunate situations in which you spoke of in which you gave yourself physically to another and the pain that it caused. You do know that I lvoe you and do respect your wishes, however I would be lying if I said that I did not desire you in that sweet embrace. Since it be your wish to wait for the night of our nupitals I shall respect this and do very much look forward to it with all my heart and soul. I look deeply into her eyes as being away from her shall be very hard. Yes first thing in the morning I shall rise and meet you in Olympe's room. I shall also agree to your request so that we may spend a few precious hours together alone before I depart for Italy. I lean in and take her close to me in my arms into a tight embrace then kissing her lips softly. I shall see you in the morning my love for I know this night as well as many after that shall follow I shall dream of you. Thank you for them most wonderful evening and for the pleasure of your company. I smile and bow slightly to her as I depart the room for my chambers.

She don't feel the same about what happened with George because at last there was sincerity and romantisme in it, the purity and naivety of a the first romantique experience and it's thank to it that she have her beloved daughter.
