The Prince's Beloved Servant

Successor King

Today Princess Hilda received a visit from Queen Zerua. Unusually, the queen made an impromptu visit to Princess Hilda's residence without an official agenda. They sat together while enjoying tea and a simple snack to accompany their afternoon conversation.

All the servants and guards were sent out, there were only the two of them in the room. Looks like Queen Zerua wants to discuss something important with Princess Hilda.

"How are you, Princess Hilda?" ask Queen Zerua.

"Okay, Queen Mother. Forgive me for not being able to give you the best banquet because you so suddenly visited my place." Hilda smiled awkwardly. Although it has often met the queen, but talking alone with the mother-in-law feels very stressful.

"Have you heard that there is a famous tavern out there? I heard some officials tried it too."

"Ah, yes, Queen Mother. I heard it from the waiter too. They said the shop had a good drink, made of stone fruit. It's called Lemon Tea." Princess Hilda had never gone outside the palace after marriage. He only heard from his servants. They often tell Princess Hilda about new things that are out there.

"I just found out that stone fruits can be eaten. The person who made it must be someone unique. That fruit has never been eaten by our people before."

"Yes, Queen Mother. The fruit is very difficult to break. The contents inside were also creepy to eat."

Queen Zerua set her eyes around. The residence of the princess and the crown prince looked simple. "So, how? Have you had any signs of pregnancy?"

Queen Zerua's question made Yuri speechless. In fact, he also expects a baby in his stomach without having to be questioned by the queen. However, until now there have been no signs of pregnancy in him.

"Actually, has the crown prince ever touched you?"

The Queen's question was embarrassing for him to answer. However, Princess Hilda still had to answer him. "We slept together, Queen Mother. Every night we slept together" Hilda replied. In fact, after almost a year of marriage, they only had a couple of marital relationships. The prince did visit his place, but midnight would leave him somewhere. Hilda did not dare to tell the queen the truth. If the queen knew the prince was treating her coldly, it was likely that she would be told to divorce him and the prince would marry another woman. The reason, Hilda could not attract the heart of the crown prince.

"It's very strange. If you slept together, you should be pregnant. I who was only one bulla cradled with His Majesty the King instantly pregnant the crown prince at that time."

Hilda. The issue of heredity inevitably the questionable side is always the female side. It's not her desire to be slow to have children. He had also tried to even beg the prince to fuck her. All herbs that can increase fertility have also been tried. To date, she has not been able to get pregnant.

"I'm sorry, Queen Mother."

"You can't apologize. All you have to do is try to get pregnant. It may take a better intensity of contact with the Crown Prince for you to get pregnant quickly."

"Yes." Yeah."

"The Crown Prince needs a successor, Princess. Otherwise, later your position can be replaced by another noble woman. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

The Queen's words hurt her heart. However, he also understood that one of the functions of the queen is to produce offspring. If he cannot perform that crucial duty, then his position will be replaced as the Queen has said.

The Queen's presence also seemed to confirm that Hilda's position as crown princess was also threatened. It looks like Rwtu is preparing a replacement if she can't get pregnant soon. It was like Hilda was crying thinking about a pregnancy that did not stop in her womb.

The queen took out a small bag of pouches from her pocket. He put it on Hilda's front desk. "This is a fertility drug. Not drunk by you, but by the Crown Prince. Give a little mixed on his tea drink," he said.

Hilda accepted the thing. Open the bag cover to see the contents. It turns out that the powder-like shape of dried foliage is smoothed. The queen was quite attentive to him. She was like a substitute for a mother figure in the palace. However, it seemed that fulfilling that wish right now was difficult for him. The physician said that the condition of his uterus was indeed less fertile.

"Be more attractive in front of the Crown Prince, Princess. Make him crazy about you."

"One of the Crown Prince's bodyguards told me that the prince often hunts himself into the forest after marriage. He also often went to midnight with his Griphos. You're often left behind by pangaran, right?" ask Queen.

"No, Queen Mother. The Crown Prince is not like that. He often spends time with me." Hilda remained. The queen was fishing for her honesty. They will stay as if their home is okay. Hilda will also try better to keep the prince at home with her.

The queen looked to breath. He was very excited to see the birth of his grandson. As a queen, before abdicating, she needs to make sure the position of her beloved son is safe. By having a successor, the position of the crown prince is safer and more unshakable.

The Queen knows that there are people out there who are preparing to protest in order to change the position of crown prince. The reason to be used was definitely about heredity. The king must have descendants. Luckily, she was able to give birth to the crown prince.

The Queen approved the prince's choice of Hilda one of them because of Hilda's fertile family history. Hilda had five siblings so she expected the seed of her son's successor to be born through Hilda. In fact, hope is hope. Hilda has no children.

Some noblewomen have already begun to discuss about Hilda. They insinuated the crown princess who was not yet pregnant as well. They even suggested replacing Hilda with one of their daughters.

"All right, Princess. Looks like today's visit was quite up here. I'll go back to the main palace."

"Yes, Queen Mother. Thanks for the visit."

"For your health, eat something nutritious. For in your body is a place for the seed of the crown prince to grow. Be the woman who gives birth to the next king."

"Good."

Hilda answered the Queen. He drove the queen to the front yard. It felt relieved after the queen left. The tightness in the chest gradually disappeared. Time seems to be slow to listen to advice that feels stifling.

Hilda went to the back of her palace towards the back garden to calm down. Breathing in the air there was very refreshing. Moreover, listening to the sound of water gurgling and fish swimming in the pond. He wanted to live in such calmness.

"Mr Princess!"

Heiji reappeared there. Hilda developed a smile at the presence of Heiji. The man was the only person in the palace who made him comfortable to talk and complain. The man is also good at keeping secrets.

Heiji sat down next to Hilda who was busy throwing one by one pebbles into the pool water. Every pebble that touches the water, will produce a beautiful wave in the form of a circle.

"I got a glimpse of the Queen meeting you, Princess." The language Heiji used was more relaxed like Hilda's will. He didn't want to feel alien if Heiji was so formal about talking to him.

"Yes, there's something the queen wants from me" Hilda said limply.

"May I know, what is it?" heiji asked curiously.

"The queen wants my pregnancy." Hilda's face looked grim.

"You haven't been married long. It is natural that it may still take time to have a successor" Heiji said.

"Yes. I think so too. But, the Queen wants me to get pregnant quickly."

"That's an excessive demand. Pregnancy is your plan and the crown prince. The Queen shouldn't have come along for that."

Hilda was getting worse. The prince's cold attitude had already made him feel lonely in the palace. Now, the request of the queen also became a heavy burden for him.
