The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 58: Meeting Orphans
Sarah POV
We made love on and off all afternoon. First, when we were getting ready to go swimming, then in the pool. My legs were sore from swimming. For lunch, he heated up some more of the food from the ceremony. I can imagine that we had a lot of leftovers. I'm glad he was using them. But as time goes on, the food will go bad.
We had finished making love in the pool, and we headed inside to take a shower and enjoy the evening. We were in the shower and couldn't keep our hands off each other. But we di manage to get clean. After our shower, we went into the living room. He said that he had some things to do in his office. Which was fine. I wanted to explore the grounds more. Ever since I had gotten here I had only spent time in my room in the palace and going to the mall.
I did spend some time in the garden a couple of times. But I wanted to walk around and check out the warriors training grounds and the rest of the palace grounds. But I wanted to ask Ray about taking some of the food leftover from the ceremony to the elder wolves and the orphans. I know every town and kingdom has an orphanage, especially if their parents are warriors.
Everybody in the Lycan world has a position in the pack. We have warriors and guards and tradesmen. So I wanted to make sure that everyone was taken care of.
"Babe, where is the orphanage and the elderly house?" I asked.
"It's about a five-minute walk from here or two minutes by car," he stated.
" Why?" he asked.
"Because I want to take some of the leftover food to them," I stated.
By the look on his face, he seemed astonished that I wanted to do that. As queens and kings, we have to make sure our subjects are taken care of. There was no sense letting it go to waste. I wanted to give it to them.
" Alright baby, I'll have the kitchen staff get it ready, and I'll have Brittany go with you." he stated.
I went around the counter and gave him a huge hug and kiss. It was my first official visit to the people. I knew I was pregnant, and I wanted to do as much as I could before it became too hard. I also wanted more of an escort.
" Honey, would it be alright if I had more guards? After the last time, I'm scared to go about without you or a lot of guards," I stated.
" Yes, sweetheart," he stated.
" I will have some more people go with you and Brittany," he stated.
I squealed in delight and rushed into our room to get ready. I chose a pair of jeans and a sweater to go out in. Something simple. I wanted people to be able to relate to me. I didn't want them to think, because I was the queen, that they had to fear me. I didn't want them to fear me.
I threw my hair up in a ponytail. Then I went to the living room and Brittany was there with three other people. I have seen them around. But I didn't really know them. But I knew they were loyal to Ray. One of the men that were there opened the door for me as we exited the cottage.
When we walked outside, there was the familiar black van. There were three of them. Brittany pointed to the middle one where a young man had the door open and waiting. That's the one her and I will be riding in. In the room where other vans. There were servants loading the food in.
That made me happy. Yes, we were supposed to be on a honeymoon of sorts. But we had a lot to do. We were going to take a couple of days alone. But so much has happened since then. I got in the backseat of the middle van. We started to pull away from the curve when someone ran in front of the van. It was the witch.
Brittany told them to pull up beside her.
"Can I help you?" Brittany asked.
" Yes, I need to speak to the queen." She stated.
Brittany looked at me.
" I want to get this done. She can come back later." I stated.
Brittany turned back to the window.
" You can come back later. The queen is busy at the moment," she stated.
" I must really speak to her," the witch stated.
" Again, madame, the queen is busy. Come back later," Brittany stated.
She then rolled up the window. We headed to the orphanage first. We are greeted by a plump, cheerful older woman.
" Your majesty, welcome to The House of Hope," she stated.
" Thank you ma'am." I stated.
"What's your name?" I asked.
" My name is Alma," the lady stated.
"It's nice to meet you," I stated.
"Let's go to the kitchen," I stated.
She leads us inside and into the kitchen. It looked like a cafeteria in a warrior's hall. There was a buffet table that was heated and there were trays and round cups of utensils. They were made of plastic. I was kind of upset by that fact.
" Why are the utensils made of plastic?" I asked.
" Your majesty, it cuts down on washing dishes," she stated.
" Are you understaffed?" I asked.
" Yes we are," she states.
That is something that I will have to remedy.
" How many staff members are there?" I asked.
" There are five of us, your majesty," she stated.
Only five staff members. That's not enough. There are infants here, as I can hear them crying down the hall. There are toddlers and there are teenagers as well. These children are here because their parents were killed in battle. I know teenagers are hard to adopt. Because they compare everyone to their parents. I was standing in the cafeteria when a little girl with pigtails came running around the corner. With a teenager chasing her.
She bumped into me. I bend down.
" What is your name, sweet girl," I asked.
"Me Tanya." she states.
" Tanya, how old are you?" I asked.
"Me this many." she states. Holding up four fingers.
"I'm sorry your majesty." the teenager bowed to me.
" No reason to apologize," I stated.
"What is your name?" I asked.
" My name is Leeanna," she states.
She grabs Tanya and runs off.
