King Brian nodded and watched as they both left the throne room. His servants and maids fetched him the water he asked for. He knew it wouldn't be much longer before he passed. He was growing weaker by the day, and even though it took him 3 hours to get from his bed to the throne. He had decided he would not ever, go a day of his life as King, and not be on the throne.<br/><br/>Jeremy sighed. "It's fine. It is what it is. Things happen." He replied, and then looked as she touched his chest. The warmth that emanated from her hands was beyond anything he had ever felt before. He felt a little more relaxed. "I am sure, you will make me happy in the years to come. Come, I'll show you the gardens first, before it grows dark" Jeremy replied, and took her down through the kitchens and out into the gardens. They were extensive, yet beautiful. Queen Esmeralda had always insisted that the gardens were something of beauty, and had hired the best gardeners in the kingdom to tend to the gardens. It was something he would keep going as a memorial to his mother. He shook the thoughts from his head and turned to Helena. "Do you want to wait out here a while, or do you want to be shown your room now? You can go between the two as you please." Jeremy replied. Eventually she would have free roam of the castle, but he wasn't going to allow that just yet.
