life in the cottage was quiet and simple. the young wife did all the chores and made sure her husband would at least be comfortable. the first born prince was now living amongst commoners and was slowly getting used to being one of them. not long after, the young wife got pregnant. when the queen learned of the pregnancy, she summoned the first-born prince. and between the two of them, the queen asked her first-born son how sure he was that it was he who fathered the young wife's child.
the young wife knew about the conversation but she didn't care. the way she didn't care when the gown the princess wore when she stood as bridesmaid at her wedding was the exact duplicate of her wedding gown, save for the color. she didn't care either when the queen had her examined by the royal physician to determine if she was chaste or not before she and the first-born prince were married. all she cared about now is that she was going to be a mother. it was the happiest nine months of her life for her husband was most caring and attentive. and, it would be her love and not the queen's that will nourish her infant.
the young wife stopped caring whether the queen liked her or not. if she didn't, that was her problem and the queen has got to learn to deal with it.
