Book 19: Chapter 53
“Vera has already been crowned? I’m surprised. I don’t know her, but I must acknowledge she sure is brave.”
“The first requirement of a monarch is bravery. Everything else can be put on the back burner until that’s in place.”
Troy passed Elizabeth a document. Elizabeth took the document sent from across the ocean, and then tossed it aside, soaking it in water. Luna scrunched it up before tossing it into the fire by the side. Vyvyan came over from another side and hugged her son. She enthused, “Don’t worry, Son, those four girls are definitely safe.”
“Oh, I’m not worried about them right now.” Troy nodded then turned his head. Being perceptive, Luna walked over and served up a tray of fruit and wine. Troy had a glance than smiled: “Luna is there anything else, for example, roast meat or something? I want to have something nice tonight. Fruit is… not quite enough.”
“Are you hungry, Your Majesty? I do not think eating fatty foods at night is prudent in consideration of your health.”
“I’m not at the age where I need to be moderating and restricting, though, am I?”
Luna nodded then left the wine. She bowed: “In that case, I shall go and prepare it. However, you should not eat too much.”
“Fuu, Son, Luna is right. It’s not very good for you to eat fatty meat at night.”
Elizabeth immediately bolted for the bottle of wine, putting a smile on Troy’s face. He asked, “What about you, then, Mom? Is drinking strong alcohol at night good for you now?”
