Love Agreement With The King

William nodded, he walked toward the tutor and asked her who was the older child they had, the one that had been there for the longest time.

The tutor pointed at a kid who was isolated by the others, he was sitting on a chair and resting his chin on his hands as he stared at the toy William gave him.

William walked toward him to talk to him and after a

brief chat he found out the child had been in another orphanage for 5 years and then moved there since that structure was bigger. He was left by both their parents when he wasn't even one year old and the only walls he had seen were grey walls of several orphanage's rooms.

It took about half an hour to trust William and share some information but their brief talk was enough for him to decide he wanted to adopt him.

When he told the tutor the news she widened her eyes and dropped her jaw as shocked as if she saw a ghost.

When she understood he was serious she nodded and rushed to prepare the suitcase for the kid.

Roselyn was just as moved and as surprised..

"Are you sure?" Roselyn asked, whispering.

William nodded with a big smile on his face. Roselyn frowned her forehead she thought the tradition didn't allow adopting kids.

"I am," William replied right away his voice sounded so confident that Roselyn shut the doubts in her head.

The villagers would probably reserve bad words and thoughts when the news spread, even if adopted kids didn't have any claim to the throne it was still an odd decision especially if the King already had John as a son.

When the tutor brought the kid his suitcase he frowned his forehead confused, sadness curved his eyebrows down as he probably thought she was moving him to a new orphanage.

"You had been adopted." The tutor said, the kid opened his mouth in shock his eyes filled with tears of happiness, and his cheek bloated when he showed the biggest smile he could offer when the tutor flinched her head to point at William.

He ran from the opposite side of the room to hug William's knees, "thank you." He said in a brittle voice. Every kid in the room stopped their playing to glance at the scene just as shocked.

William hugged the kid who kept thanking him and at the same time trying not to explode in tears for happiness.

"Your highness, if you need anything you can come here and I will be glad to help. Thanks for your kindness." The tutor bowed her head as she stared at William smiling.

"Behave well, Sebastian." The tutor kissed the child on his cheek and whispered to him some recommendations.

Then Roselyn and William both thanked the kids and cheered them before they walked outside and stepped on the carriage. Sebastian looked quite confused on how to step on the carriage so William lifted him by his hips and sat him near him.

"You're the King?" Sebastian asked, his shiness completed faded away and he sounded more comfortable there even if his voice was still low.

William nodded, waving at the other child through the window.

"And why did you adopt me?" Sebastian murmured, Roselyn smiled at the child who sounded so lost as if he had very low self-esteem.

William looked at him and pinched his chin gently, "because you reminded me of my other son and I miss him so much. He was as strong as you and I am sure he would have done the same."

The kid was quite confused by William's reply, he knitted his eyebrows down as he organized his thoughts.

"Where is him now?" He asked, Roselyn, heldher breath, but when she traveled her gaze to meet William she gave a breath of relief.

"He is in a good place now. I hope I can make you as happy as he made me."

The carriage took off and the kid only murmured "wow!" as he dropped his jaw and stared at the castle amazed.

He blinked few times with his eyes opened widely almost like he couldn't believe their eyes.

"Wow!" He said louder when he walked down the carriage and stared at the majesty of that place.

He pinched himself twice to wake up from that dream until he realized it wasn't a dream at all. William knocked at the door and few maids opened the door, Sebastian ran inside and his facial expression grow happier and even more amazed the more he gazed at how beautiful it was inside. Not even in his best dream, he had experienced something like that.

"This is all yours?" Sebastian finally spoke, his eyes sparkled in amazement, and his smile shaking in happiness. 

"Yes," William replied suffocating a giggle while the maids still were unaware of what had happened and the last thing they imagined was that William would adopt a kid. They were looking at the kid perplexed wondering who he was or what he was doing there.

Roselyn left to return to Kratez about one hour later, 

when she told John the news he didn't seem much surprised, probably because he knew his father very well and he knew what his kind soul was capable to do.

"I also came out with a name, in case our baby is a girl." Rosalyn said, her heart speeded in her chest as soon as she mentioned the words 'our son'.

"What is it?" John asked leaning closer to her, he rested his hands on her knees as she looked at her pleading for an answer.

"I met a beautiful girl whose name is Felicity. Which means happiness in Latin. I think we can call her like that." Roselyn finally said, John's eyes filled with joy and thinned when he smiled.

"I love that name." He replied.

Roselyn smiled as well, she caressed her bump, and she whispered, "Elijah or Felicity we look forward to meeting you."
