The crowning was one he knew he'd never forget. She was a perfect vision in ivory and gold. Her train was held by six maids as she walked down to him. She looked magnificent and proud as she walked to him. When she grabbed his hand, he knew she was terrified. He could feel her trembling. He gripped her hand to steady her and he smiled at her as the priest spoke the words.
They knelt down to their knees and the priest crowned her as his queen. He looked very happy to next to her and this angered some.
Later that night, he worshipped her like a queen and she moaned so loud, you could hear her through the palace. Amaya lay spent next to Felipe and held his hand as she drifted off to sleep. Felipe watched her sleep and thanked God for this woman. She had made moves that no one else could. He knew he had to get some sleep. He was meeting with Eva and Ernesto in the morning. He sat up at the sound of Algeria crying in the next room. He got up and saw the nurse wi
Our story begins in June of 1702 near the countryside of France. We start with Lord and Lady De Grace; the biggest know family in all of France. Their daughter had just turned eighteen at the beginning of the summer and it was time to begin her season. Men and boys alike would be presented as possible suitors. Lord Simon De Grace received word earlier in the week that King Francis himself would be presenting his son, Prince Louis. Just the other day, he got word that to find peace, Queen Anne of England was sending her son, Prince William. There were so many suitors already that had accepted the invitation for tonight's ball. Lord Simon was just relieved he wouldn't have to do the picking of a husband; he left that to his dau
That same morning, in Spain. A young man was arguing with his father about getting married. "Father, I do not wish to marry so soon. I am only twenty-three years old. Why the rush anyway, you are still a young guy, yourself."
In Lord De Grace's home, everyone was finishing for the ball. It was two hours until the guests were to arrive, and Chloe was waking up her lady. The bath was prepared and steaming. The dress, shoes, jewelry, and pins were laid out. There were a couple of extra things laid out for Chloe to help get her ready. In the wash room, Chloe sat talking with her lady as she soaked in the tub. "My lady, if I may be so bold to say if you're worried about choosing a husband and you fear being alo
Suddenly, a handsome looking young man with bright green eyes came and stood next to her. When she looked over at him, she could see light brown hair, and was better dresses than any lord she had ever seen. Then he looked down at her and began to speak. "This a fabulous party. One of the biggest I've ever seen."
While the two of them were arguing, she caught the stare of a dark hair, dark-eyed, and dark-skinned man that had just walked in with two other men. She wanted to hear his voice because if it sounded as good as he looked, she'd fall in love with him.From the moment Felipe walked in and caught her staring at him, he was unable to look away from her. She was the most beautiful creature he'd ever laid eyes on. Aqua blue eyes with perfect blonde hair. She had light skin that showed a bit of a tan. He was so mesmerized by her that he didn't even hea
He knew what she was talking about more than she could ever know. He knew her sister, Alana, for Prince Antonio was his older brother. After Alana died, his brother was never the same. They danced and chatted in both French and Spanish. They laughed, which angered Prince Louis. So much so that he left the party. He told Lord Simon that he'd call on Amaya tomorrow morning for breakfast. Simon asked Camila to pull Amaya aside for a while. On her way across the dance floor, she accidentally bumped into a gentleman. Little did she know that it was on purpose. When Camila looked up, she saw the most handsome man she'd ever seen.
At the townhouse, Carlos and Emilio was going on and on about the girls they met. Felipe was off in another world in his mind. He kept thinking about her. Her name was Amaya De Grace. Perfect name for such a perfect person. All of sudden, Carlos brought him back to reality. " Felipe, are you here with us or back at the ball with Amaya?"
There was a lot of traffic today because it was warm and sunny. They were stopped due to some commotion up ahead. Pierre told her to stay inside. She did, but she opened the door to see. The police were chasing a man who tried to sneak into someone's home. The man was running through the carriages and saw her door open and jumped in and shut the door. When he looked up, they saw that they knew each other. It was Felipe. Pierre began to get down to remove the intruder, but Amaya shooed him off.&nbs
