A lucky woman
Evie would be sure to heed her sister’s warning, but she was not about to run away and hide out of fear for the royals. She was a Romano. Even though her father had kept her sheltered for most parts of her life, she knew that she could do this.
“Of course, My Prince. It is my pleasure.” She smiled and glanced to her sister and the king, where Andy had now managed to divert the king’s attention from her little sister.
Seeing the king flirt openly with his mistress made her feel terribly sorry for the poor queen. Had she ever been invited to a hunt?

Living away from the city had its advantages. The Romano estate laid outside the capital, surrounded by beautiful nature and with land large enough to hold all of Evie’s animals. Horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, sheep, chickens… And of course some more exotic animals that their father had brought home after his travels to distant kingdoms. Luca held no particular love for any of the creatures but Evie loved them all to bits and somehow managed to remember the names she had given them all as well. How she could tell which miniature pig Rita and which pig was Dita, he would probably never know. Either way, life on the countryside was quite alright but he still preferred the buzz of the city. He liked to be around people. Not to socialize with them necessarily, but to observe. He grew bored of life at the estate after a day or so.
It was safe to say that he did not share her little dream. Neither with a farm nor animals nor children. He also knew that for a queen to speak of such matters was greatly inappropriate and it would, if possible, be even more inappropriate for a lord to encourage such words.
“You are a lucky woman, my queen.” He said, although that was the very opposite of what she had tried to say. “The king is a great man, and you are the queen of a great kingdom.”
This piece of information might come in handy for both his father and sister, however Luca doubted that he would share it with them unless it proved absolutely vital for their plans.
