When evening came, the queen and her best friend went back to the dining hall in order to eat supper . As they reached the dining hall they were met and joined by their husbands .
Upon seeing the ladies, the king's face split into a wide grin, "My love, how wonderful to see you!" He went over and took Fayre's hands in his own as they gazed lovingly into each others' eyes .
Embarrassed by their sudden show of affection, Zylvia walked over to her own husband and grabbed his arm, "Come on, let's leave the two love birds alone . " She said this with a slight roll of her eyes .
Kaldrek let her drag him into the dining hall and then asked with a grin, "How long do you think it will take before they notice we left?"

She shrugged, "You probably have a better idea than me . Are they always like that?" They started to get some dinner for themselves, and sit as they continued conversing .
"Sickeningly sweet? Yeah . . . I think they almost forget that they aren't alone . . . it might be annoying if it wasn't so great for the kingdom . "
"The kingdom? Why?"
Kaldrek blinked in surprise at her questions, "Isn't that obvious? The king and queen loving each other is a good sign for them having a little prince, which means that the king's line would continue . "
"What if they have a princess instead?"
"Of course that is a possibility, but do you really think that they would only have one child? I mean with the way they act . . . "
"Well, what if they only have princesses?"
"Then they only have princesses . It wouldn't be the first time that the kingdom passed to a daughter . But with how many children Jayesh wants, the chances of not having at least one son is pretty slim . "
" . . . He talks to you about this?" Zylvia felt her eyebrow go up in surprise . It sounded like Kaldrek and Jayesh sometimes had similar conversations to what she and the queen did .
"All the time, he . . . " Kaldrek paused and then continued, " . . . is pretty excited about the possibility . "
"So is the queen," A big smile lit up Zylvia's face . "I can't wait to be a nanny!"
"Heh, you would certainly have your job cut out for you . " Kaldrek went quiet for a moment and then said thoughtfully, "They will make good parents when that time actually comes . Way better at it than I would be . "
"They would make good parents . I don't think you would make a bad one though . " She laughed as she bit into a piece of bread .
They had already been eating for about ten minutes when their monarchs finally joined them . They were still smiling at each other, but it was a lot less mindless than before .
As they ate they talked about their day and how they had spent it . Jayesh and Kaldrek had spent the day checking up on various things that needed taken care of . Most of it was little things that were quickly taken care of, but there had also been an issue between two knights that had taken Jayesh a bit of time to untangle . Something about land rights that Zylvia did not fully understandv and from the look on the queen's face she didn't really either .
Most of what the men had spent their time doing was mentioned and expounded on by Jayesh as Kaldrek was not really talking much . Instead he seemed to be deep in thought, and spoke sparingly . Though, this wasn't exactly abnormal for him .
