Aelinor smiled in relief as Trajan hugged. She laid her head on his shoulder,"I will,"she smiled at him. "and yes I do know his temper, all too well... He will be proud and I am sure he will be very happy."
She kissed his cheek softly,"I guess, I should go tell him now before he hears it from someone else then." Aelinor smiled at Trajan,"I will see you later, cousin...." and she left heading for the great hall to tell her King husband her joyous news.

The appearance of the Red Priest was something new to Aelinor. The images of her father dying from the shadows that entered his body. The shadows that robbed them of his grace. Aelinor was never one to judge any person she meet, but she needed to speak to this Rania.
Again she rested her hand on her stomach, in a month's time she seemed to feel bigger than earlier, but it could just be in her mind. She smiled lightly and thought of Lady Stark, who when she left she was with child. Aelinor grabbed a piece of paper and began writting to her, a letter that was long overdue.

Rita bustled in, carrying the washed sheets she had fetched from the lower levels. Setting them down on the side, she looked quizzically around the room.
"Evening my Lady"

Aelinor turned with a smile,"Good evening Rita..." She followed her gaze around the room,"Is something wrong?"

"It's a mess! The books are strewn all over, your clothes are in disarray... hmph." With a snort, she bent to the task of cleaning the place. Carefully folding the garment from Essos, she ran her hand over the smooth silk. "And this dress! It's surely pleasing to wear, but you could go with some variety. Why I saw that Lady Firebraugh wearing such a gorgeous gown the other day..."

Aelinor smiled and shook her head at Rita,"I do apologize, but you that ever since I was young my room has been a haven for my books..." She then looked at her clothes,"I do not like Westerosi clothes, they are to confining and why would I want to look like everyone else?"
"I am the Queen, I should and can dress how I want.."

"Oh for sure! And next you'll decide that no one should object if you go stark naked into the throne room, because why not, I'm the Queen!" Rita took the single misplaced book and slotted it neatly into it's home. "Being a Queen is more about doing what you want. It's to represent your people." She then looked over grinning "And some of it might hide that bump a little better than this wear from Essos.

Aelinor blushed,"I do not want to hide my 'bump'. It is a great thing for my family." She softly rubbed her belly. "And I do not think I want to go naked in the throne room, people would say I was mad.." She laughed," even that is bad for a Targaryen."
"Naked in the throne room, really?", Aelinor chuckled again.

"Well we'll see in a couple of months my Lady when your figure starts to go. And soon I'll be having to fetch all sorts of strange foods, and having to put up with the strangest of moods, oh it is going to be a mess." She sighed "And then the priests will require us to bathe you in the Gods Eye before the entire court..."

She paused and looked at her,"Bathe me where?!"
"Oh no, I do not see that happening... I will not be a spectacle. Is it not enough that I will have my impregnated self showing as it is."

"But my Lady it's tradition! Why I remember the last queens bathing. It brought blessings upon the children." Rita advanced on Aelinor with a wicked gleam in her eyes "And you'll have those ragged old crones picking away at you, and the the mussels will cut your feet into ribbons. Why the faith could rise up if you don't!"

The Queen shook her head with a deep sigh,"Fine.... For the health and blessing on my child, I will do it."

She managed to keep a straight face for much longer than usual, but a small smile escaped "helji-I mean excellent! I hear also they require the Dragons to attend in dress as well, so you'll have to help your cousins with that." Regaining her composure, she managed to put on a suitably mortified look "I'm so sorry my dear, it's really for the best."

She sighed again,"I understand, but I am going to ask that tradition be changed as soon as I have one toe out of the water."
Shaking her head,"I should have stayed a princess,"then she chuckled. "I never knew my mother has so much to deal with.."

It was at that point that Rita had to shove her fist in her mouth to prevent herself from laughing. Thanking the God below that the drapes covered her face as she replaced the sheets, she again returned to a blank expression. "I'm sure my dear. Any other questions about queens you want to ask before I leave?"
