The rumors were spreading about Queen Esther and her sister did not like them. Isabel hated that people were talking about her little sister behind her back. Calling her barren and suggesting that Braiden find a new queen. One that would give him a heir. If he did that, it would surely devastate her sister. And Isabel would be very angry. She knew Esther loved his Majesty very much. And he seemed to truly love her back.<br/><br/>Isabel's husband, Fernando, told her to pay no mind to the rumors. People in the court always like to spread them. Some people loved to cause trouble and scheme because they had no nothing better to do. People did that back home all the time. It was surely no different in England. The rumors were probably started by Braiden's Aunt Victoria, just to start trouble for the royal couple. Isabel hoped her husband was right. She knew Esther was grown now. She was the Queen of England, after all. However, Isabel would always think of her as her little sister and always be protective of her.<br/><br/>It was nice to Isabel to be in England and spending a holiday here. Tuscany, an independent country from Italy, was so different then here. She loved any chance she had to spend with Esther and Cosimo enjoyed spending time with his mother's family as well. Isabel and Fernando were planning to take Cosimo out a day trip. They wanted him to get to experience another culture. However, he was currently showing his auntie Esther all the new English words he knew. Cosimo's first language was Italian but the young boy was quickly learning his mother's native language as well. It didn't take long for the servant to find Fernando at Braiden's command.<br/><br/>"Tell his Majesty I will be right there."<br/><br/>Fernando told the servant and gave his wife a kiss on the cheek.<br/><br/>"I will be right back. Cosimo, behave for your mother and aunt."<br/><br/>"Yes, Papa."<br/><br/>Cosimo replied with a grin, as Fernando playing messed up his hair a little. Although Isabel wondered why Braiden would need to see Fernando right away. She knew her husband and brother-in-law got along well. Both considered each other friends and family. Fernando headed to the chambers Braiden always provided for his family to use when the visited.<br/><br/>"Hello, Braiden. I heard you need to see me right away. Is something wrong?"<br/><br/>Fernando asked as he entered the bedchambers and took a seat across from the king. Given their closeness, he didn't refer to Braiden on formal terms. He did wonder if something was wrong, especially when his Majesty only wanted to talk to him, not in front of their wives or Cosimo.
