Making a Legend true - Part II
The Royal couple said Goodbye to their son and entered the Royal Coach. They then went to Lisbon, in a small ship crossed the Tejo and started heading south. The way towards Beja was pleasent, People greated they while they passed, many wanted to see the 'Russian Queen'. When they arrived there, they did not went to the Castle of the Count, but instead went to a small, in comparison, resident outside the city walls. The objective of that trip was not to see Evora, or any other part of the Alentejo. They needed to go south. And so when the Sun started to shine they headed to south again, they objective was the Algarve, that was the only thing João told his wife. She just hoped he did not make her head so far away from her child to see 'his little boats'.
During the voyage they got time to finally be alone to talk, talk and talk. They talked about everything from Little Pedro to the Trade passing, many times, by Pskov and the Beautiful Pskovian Winter.
When the sun was allready down the Royal car finally arrived to where it was supose to arrive, to a small royal castle in the middle of nowhere. The moon was blocked by the cloud and even if the sky was clean the litle would be very little, the moon was a Waxing Crescent. The only light was comming from the fire buring in the torchs the Royal Guards had.
Both entered the Castle they climbed to the highest Room, where the 'Royal bedroom' was situated. The Queen still did not understand why they were there. João only promised that she would understand in the morning. João Kissed her and went to bed, she did the same, both fell to sleep seconds after, they were both tired.
Yelevita waked two hours after the sun rise, she was waked by João Who had an enormous smile in his face. He looked to her with the greatest of all admirations. "
For how long have you been staring to me like that?" asked the Queen. Without taking his smile out of his face with a soft voice he replied, "
Since the sun rised, I just wanted to see you sleeping in peace, like the angel you are." Yelevita blushed, she did not know what to reply. After having a couple of rough weeks, without many love words, she did not waited for that, so she replied with a question, "
So, will you know tell me why we are here?"
João Took his smile and seated down in the bed, "
We are here" started the king "
because I saw how you were looking, sad because you are so far away from home, because of that I remember of a story I was told when I was a small baby. A love story between a Nordic Queen and a King from the Algarve, I can see a paralele with our position now. That is why I shall do to my Nordic queen what the King of the History did to his queen."
João stoop up and grabed Liza's hand and they walked to the window of the Bedroom, it was big enough to both enter it. When the courtines opened all the sun light outside entered the Castle and the Couple's eyes.
Yelevita was in Shock to what she saw, white, white in the trees, in the hot of Summer, Every three was white as snow was commed down from heaven, but that was not possible. But it was, All the Trees where white, even part of the ground was white. It seemed that in Magic happened while she was sleeping. She looked to her husband he had a big smile now both had, she looked back to the field, João then said whispering, "
As the king of the past did, I shall do it now. Bring the most loved Snow to my most loved wife" she looked back to him and gave him an enormous kiss, and she then trowned her self to his arms, giving him a lovelly hug, she looked again to the 'snowy' field.
Then they finally separated she gave some steps back, walking backwards to the bed, she started to undress, first starting from above then moving very closely downards, João paralized seeing that, he only moved once again when the cold hands of his Queen touched his and she pulled him to their bed...
After the enconter in bed, making once again the relation of the Royal family of Portugal great once again, Yeleviza and João passed the rest of the day in the Almond Tree enormous field, 'playing' with the beautiful trees. At nightfall they went to bed early only to re-happear at the first sun rays ready to go back to Sintra, where little Pedro was waiting for them.
This time their stop in Beja was even smaller, Yeleviza wanted to see her child badly when they arrived at the end of the day, she grabed little Pedro in her arms as she did not want to be awat from him ever again.
