"Baby Series 3"

Thoughts On Dorothy

He wished the King would not take part in this confrontation, though he could understand the man’s desire to participate.

It had generally been a good day in which he had succeeded in securing time out for the King and Princess. He hoped they had enjoyed their lunch, as he certainly had not had the opportunity to enjoy his.

What had that woman thought she was doing, teaching the Prince to dip his head in his bowl? It had been amusing to watch, but he suspected Dorothy would acquire a headache from the dressing down Helen would deliver, once she managed to clean up the child and the nursery. The Duchess had made herself scarce, but knowing Helen as he had come to, he did not doubt she would track the lady down.

Duchess Catalonia was one to bear watching. He was aware of her capabilities and while she was a substitute for one of the King's prospective consorts, if she took it into her head to be a serious contender Pagan had little doubt she was capable of insinuating herself into the position. The thought of her as Queen was enough to give him a headache.

She would certainly be competent to perform the duties of a Queen. Never shirking her responsibilities she would face each day as a challenge. It was when the tedium of some of those duties set in that she would be tempted to dabble in affairs best left alone. It would not be dull about the palace should Dorothy ever become a permanent resident.

Pagan suspected she would even be capable of giving the King a wild time in his bed and should she fall pregnant, Pagan could just hear the repercussions. The woman would not take well to morning sickness, would likely bemoan every second of time it took for her body to thicken with the growth of the child and scream the palace down at the birth. And then the games truly would begin.

The thought of Dorothy Catalonia as Queen Dorothy of Sanc was unthinkable. She enjoyed playing games too much. Undoubtedly she could cope with the King’s moods, but her own mercurial moods would likely be far worse than Milliardo on a bad day. One would never know where one stood with the volatile Duchess.

Just thinking about it was adding to his headache.

It was far better Milliardo settled with the two young gentlemen than have the King make a marriage that would advantage no one. An unhappy home was no basis for repairing the damage done to Sanc over the years.

He motioned his secretary out with a twitch of his fingers. It was time to deal with this murder investigation. The police were unhappy with those two little words, ‘diplomatic immunity’ and the King was displeased with the thought of permitting a murder in Sanc to go unpunished. Murder did not sit too well with him either.
