The Jewel in My Heart
Chapter 23
"Tell her that I'm busy" Anna replied as Laura delivered a message from one of the servants that Arthur called her.
Anna snorted in annoyance, who was that man as good as ruling?
Laura stood agitated, she couldn't possibly convey such a message to Arthur. "My Lady's..."
Anna turned her gaze from the window and looked at Laura. "Why? you don't dare?"
Laura lowered her head and scratched her head, no one dared to. "Yes." Yeah."
"That makes my situation difficult. Look, I don't want to see her first. I'm pissed off."
"Maybe you should talk to His Majesty Arthur. Mm..." Laura was hesitant to continue her sentence.
"What's up?"
"As if there is something important that His Holiness Arthur wants to convey, the royal physician is currently with him."
Anna stepped on her feet lazily. "Alright, I'll meet him. Can you take care of Nina for a second?"
Laura nodded. "certain."
So much reluctance filled Anna's mind throughout her trip to Arthur's canal. If Laura hadn't mentioned the 'royal physician', Anna wouldn't have come.
Arthur's bedroom door was larger than the one Anna occupied. Anna's knock was answered in just a few seconds.
Anna pushed with all her might through the heavy door, and in the room an old man opened a bandage wrapped around Arthur's thigh.
At once Anna also turned her face because Arthur only uses bokser pants.
"What makes your face like that?" arthur asked amusedly, if there were no senior doctors he would have laughed.
"Wouldn't you ever be my personal doctor..."
Anna's face turned red because of Arthur's temptation. "Your speech is very disrespectful, even though I came here at your request. They said there was something important you wanted to talk about."
"At least people who are talking will see each other," Arthur quipped because Anna kept turning her face away.
"At least the person talking will dress appropriately" Anna replied sharply.
"Sometimes I don't care much about courtesy either." Arthur's tease gets more and more pleased with the doctor's question-marked face.
Arthur was still smiling broadly as the door thumped hard as Anna slammed her.
Half an hour later Arthur was in Anna's room, he was busy lifting Nina and turning her around as if the toddler was riding a merry-go-round.
"What's up?" anna asked sharply, she just came out of the bathroom.
The smell of fresh oranges and sweet vanilla swooped into Arthur's nose. "I want to let you know that I have to go to London now and maybe I'll be back here in three days."
"Whatever!" Anna snorted softly and took Nina from Arthur's hand.
Arthur smiled at Anna's annoyed face, for some reason he felt Anna look funny when she grunted angrily.
"If I'm not here, you can't go anywhere. Stay in the Royal Palace until I return."
"The king's order, huh?" satirize Anna and give Nina to Laura who immediately combed Nina's hair.
"true."
"Feud." Anna hardens her voice to let Arthur hear her clearly.
"Right," replied Arthur and looked back at Anna.
Anna was silent for a moment, at a loss for words.
Arthur approached Anna without caring about her retreated.
"You're not good at arguing, so don't force yourself to argue with me. Be careful, you remember what I told you on the plane."
"Alright, I'll stay here until you get home," Anna said with a long sigh, she had gotten too involved.
Arthur takes Nina from Laura's lap and holds the toddler for a while before exiting Anna's room.
"His Majesty Arthur loves your daughter very much" Laura commented as she returned the comb to her place.
Anna shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe..."
"Your Majesty Arthur has never been this happy since the Queen's death."
"That's right..." Anna stepped to the window and enjoyed the cold afternoon breeze.
