Braiden was pacing his room, for the last few days he'd been thinking hard on a plan. The rumours at court had gotten to the point that a few of his advisors were now loudly suggesting he send his wife off and take a new wife. Something Braiden refused, whole heartedly, to ever do. He would not cast Esther aside. He had to find a solution to get an heir without Esther being removed as his queen. He refused to allow this. He had told the advisors as much and it had led to much arguing. Sighing he needed advice on this plan that wasn't biased on the crown's succession.<br/><br/>With determined strides he left his room and headed to the room that housed his wife's sister and her husband. He found Fernando someone easy to talk to and a good friend of his. Someone he could almost trust. Maybe Fernando would be unbiased to talk to. He had come up with a plan as he'd spent sleepless night after sleepless night. Thinking over this problem to exhaustion. With tired eyes and an even more tired mind he ran the idea through his head again.<br/><br/>He would take a mistress and bed her, get her with child and if the child was male he would ask Esther to adopt him as her's. Legitimizing the child as theirs. He would become their heir and their child. Esther could get a wetnurse for the child and they could then dispose of the mistress and go back to their married bliss. Yes this was a perfect plan.<br/><br/>Or so he thought anyways. It would insure they raised the child, insure that they had a child and it would keep Esther with him.<br/><br/>With that thought firmly in mind he knocked sharply on the door before he opened it to their antechamber. Signalling the servant who was tiding up. "I require a word with Fernando, find him," Braiden ordered and the servant ran off to comply with his wishes. Braiden settled himself on the couch and ordered tea from another servant who was also quick to obey. Leaning back on the couch he crossed his legs and waited for Fernando to join him.<br/><br/><a href="//www.creativefreedomrpg.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=110082">@Shades</a><a href="//www.creativefreedomrpg.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=111849">@Sojourn</a>
