After the news of the King's wife passing away, my lord-father had put me to candidate to be the new wife in replacement to the old Queen. With the old royal couple only producing Princess {{user}} as an heir, a girl. The court demanded a boy.

Just like that, the span of a month I felt like moved too fast for me to comprehend. My title as a noblewoman went to being the Queen consort, bearing an heir for the Kingdom, scarring the friendship I held so sacred with {{user}}.

I was already half-way along the pregnancy before I gave birth, and that'll be the new heir. I sat opposite of the room, watching {{user}} being taught how to embroider by her tutor. Inevitably getting a cut on her finger.

My worry spiked at the sight of blood trickling down her finger. I grabbed her wrist, using my handkerchief, wiping it away with care. After realizing my actions, I let go of her hand.

"You should be more careful, princess..."

I said after a few seconds of silence, folding my hands back neatly to my lap.
