who is it, you love so much-Wessex the 9th century
King Constantin:"Who is it you love so much, Queen Aviana?...(*Aviana felt her cheeks turn red*)...he must be special if the Queen of Wessex puts herself in such danger, just to make sure he is alright and survives!"
Aviana:(*smiled at King Constantin*)"Yes, he is a special person and I love him more than anything in this world!...(*King Constantin smiled as well*)...how is your wife, Lord King?"
King Constantin:"She complains that my nephew complains, that he is not allowed to marry the woman, he so ardently desires!...(*Aviana tilted her head*)...her marriage would have to be annulled, then my nephew would be allowed to take her as his wife!"
Aviana:(*frowned*)"Your nephew adores a married woman?...(*King Constantin nodded*)...excuse me for asking, Lord King, but who is this woman?"
King Constantin:"She is talking to me right now and I see, why my nephew wants to marry you!...(*Aviana's eyes widened*)...I did not ask without reason, whom you love, my Queen!"
Aviana:(*looked at Sihtric*)"Lord King, forgive me but I will not have my marriage annulled!...(*King Constantin lowered his head*)...however, I can offer you, that I will come and visit you and talk to your nephew!"
King Constantin:"Me and my nephew would love that, thank you my Queen!...(*Aviana smiled at him*)...will you one day tell me to whom your heart belongs?"
King Hywel:(*patted his shoulder*)"My Queen, my dear friend, I am forced to tell you something!...(*Aviana turned her head*)...it won't take long!"
Aviana:"Feel free to speak, King Hywel!...(*he smiled at her*)...I hope the guys back there haven't rattled you in any way?"
King Hywel:(*sighed*)"Uhtred Ragnarsson will never believe in god, and if Wales should continue, to be represented in Wessex' chronicles, you must promise that this godless man, will never appear in them!...(*Aviana flinched*)...I didn't mean to scare you, but I did want to give you a little warning!"
Aviana:"Lord King, forgive me, why do you say such things?...(*King Hywel turned to Uhtred*)...I didn't know Wales was such a god-fearing country?"
King Constantin:(*hissed at King Hywel*)"Wales is not a god-fearing country and King Hywel only says that, because he wants Wessex for himself at some point!...(*Aviana nearly collapsed*)...how about you ride back to Wales now and leave the Queen of Wessex alone?!"
~~~~~~~
King Hywel rolled his eyes at King Constantin and rode off! Aviana looked after him, until he was gone! Tears rose in her eyes as she slowly slipped off her horse...then she collapsed and Sihtric immediately came running towards her! King Constantin now realised, who she loved: it was Sihtric Kjartansson! Uhtred, Finan and Osferth also came running towards her and all four boys, tried everything to calm her down! Uhtred stroked her head, whilst Finan gently rubbed her cheeks! Osferth talked to his sister, whilst Sihtric held her close! She trembled and Sihtric caressed her thighs!
Her breathing got heavy and Beocca prayed, that she and her child were alright! After a while, she calmed down again and King Constantin rode off! At nightfall, the group reached Winchester and Lady Ælswith was beyond glad to see her daughter! They hugged and her other siblings soon joined! Edward and Æthelflæd widely smiled at their big sister before turning to Sihtric! Edward hugged him tight...and Æthelflæd did the same! Sihtric returned the hugs and widely smiled at the two siblings! Aviana turned her head to look at Osferth...his gaze was sad and that broke her heart! And when her child kicked her, her stomach twisted and she felt nauseous! Sihtric noticed and placed his hand on her lower back...she slightly smiled before hugging him tight! She knew, she still needed to talk to him! Soon everyone disappeared to their chambers! Now Aviana and Sihtric were alone...

Aviana:"Sihtric?...(*he turned around*)...we still need to talk! And I am afraid to...because I assume you read my letter!"
Sihtric:(*sighed*)"Was I not supposed to read it?...(*Aviana went quiet*)...just because I was with you after the battle and just now and took care of you, doesn't mean I forgot what you did!"
Aviana:"What do you mean by that, Sihtric?...(*Sihtric laughed maliciously*)...all I did was to protect you! I made sure nothing happened to you and I put the troops of Scotland and Wales at your disposal...damn you!"
Sihtric:(*his blood began to boil*)"You could have let us in on it, but no, the Queen of Wessex chooses to die alone!...(*Aviana's face dropped*)...I don't know how many times I thought about something happening to you...I don't know how many times I thought about something happening to my child, and I don't know how many times I thought about how it would destroy me to lose you both!"
Aviana:"Sihtric, are you taking the piss out of me?...(*his gaze darkened*)...I worry every day, that you might not come home and now you are acting as if you were the only one who is allowed to worry?! You are the most important person in my life and I will forever do everything, to make sure that nothing happens to you!"
Sihtric:(*hissed at her*)"Then don't act like a defiant child and keep your arse in the palace when it is required of you!...(*Aviana felt tears well up in her eyes*)...I also accept the suggestion of separate chambers! At least I won't have to put up with you then!"
Aviana:"Sihtric please I didn't mean that!...(*she tried to take his hand but he pulled away*)...don't do this to me, baby! I love you Sihtric!"
Sihtric:(*tears rose in his eyes*)"I love you too! Even more than you can imagine!...(*Aviana placed her hand on his right cheek*)...no Ana, please don't do this...not now!"

She kissed him...but he didn't return the kiss! Her heart broke and she felt like she couldn't breathe! He stood up and walked out of their chambers...he left her alone! The next morning she was awakened by some birds! She stood up and made her way to the throne room! Uhtred, Finan, Osferth, Lady Ælswith, Æthelflæd, Edward and Sihtric were already there! She refused to look at Sihtric and she pulled her hand away, when he wanted to take it! Tears rose in his eyes and he felt horrible...he felt horrible, because he left her alone the night before!
Gisela, Eadith and Samarthia arrived moments later and the little girl immediately ran towards her parents! Gisela sat down besides Uhtred and Eadith sat down besides Finan! The girls widely smiled at their beloved's and kissed their foreheads! Sihtric sadly glanced over at them before turning his head back to his little family! Aviana now looked at him but she didn't smile at him! It made him even sadder...and he knew, that she was hurt! After breakfast, everyone went about their duties! Aviana and Samarthia went to the garden and watched some butterflies! Finan, Eadith, Uhtred and Gisela went to check on the horses and Osferth went to his chambers! Today was a good day...nothing was wrong and nobody bothered them! Only Sihtric was feeling bad...he felt bad about how he treated his wife! He decided to pay his two girls a visit...Samarthia immediately spotted him and ran into his arms! Aviana didn't even look at him...she only watched the butterflies and little bees! When Sihtric and Samarthia approached her, Samarthia tapped on her shoulder! Aviana turned her head and widely smiled at her daughter! Sihtric sat down besides her, but she still refused to look at him! It broke his heart, but he knew, that she had every right to be mad! Soon Aviana left the garden and Sihtric continued watching butterflies with Samarthia! Once they were done, they went back to the palace and walked through the halls! Samarthia wanted to visit Finan and Eadith, so Sihtric let her do that! He walked towards the throne room, in which Aviana was talking to Steapa! They immediately noticed Sihtric and Aviana's gaze instantly darkened...
