• ~ 9 | Breakfast and the Council ~ •

3rd POV:

Victoria and Edward sat at the long table with two plates placed in front of them as they sat across each other. Victoria smiled at Edward as she took a seat. "So..." She said awkwardly. "So I uh-" Edward got cut off by servers coming into the room with a bunch of food. They all sat the food down on the long table both Victoria and Edward was sitting at. They got their food on their plates and got drinks as well and the servers bowed and or curtsey and left the room.

"So, what were you gonna say?" Victoria asked after they left the room as she started to cut her meat. "Nevermind, we'll discuss it when we are done with the Council meeting." Edward replied as he did the same thing Victoria was doing at the moment. "Okay.." Victoria said, she took a bite of a piece of meat she cut and chewed it slowly, studying Edward up and down.

Edward also took a bite of his as well. They ate in mainly silence, but once and awhile there would be a bit of small talk. After they ate they got up and walked to the council room together. They walked in and all of the men, who were talking to each other, some were sitting, others not, they all stopped and looked at them. They all bowed down. Though, Victoria felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked at where she felt the eyes were coming from.

Her father...

He was standing behind his chair, staring at her. "Men." Edward said, breaking the silence. Victoria turned her attention to her soon to be husband, and so did Richard as well. "Sit down, Lords. We must discuss matters now." Edward said, grabbing Victoria's hand and going to his seat. Before he sat down he looked around to see if there was an empty seat that Victoria could sit in, but there wasn't.

He sighed, Edward sat down slowly as Victoria just awkwardly standing there. "Sit." Edward said to Victoria. "Where?.." She replies to him. He sighed and pointed to his lap. "Oh- I- Uh-" Victoria stuttered. "Oh for pity sake!" Edward said, he grabbed Victoria's hand and made her sit down on his own lap. "Oh! Uh.."

"Anyways, men, we have to discuss when me and Lady Victoria's wedding will be." Edward said, breaking the long silence. "Yes, of course, I have a suggestion on when the wedding shall be, Your Majesty." John Dudley said, looking at Edward with a small smile. "Okay. Let me hear it, My Lord." Edward said, wrapping his arms around Victoria.

"Well how about 20 may?" John suggested, "Oh, That's perfect actually! What do you think Victoria? Should we do that?" Edward asked Victoria. Victoria just nodded, "Yes, Whatever pleases you, Edward." She said, "So, It's settled! Me and Lady Victoria's wedding shall be on 20 may. And by that time she will also meet my sisters, Elizabeth and Mary because I believe they have never met nor spoken." Edward announced.

Everyone nodded, "I order this council meeting over then, now that it is settled." Edward proclaims. "Okay, Your Majesty." All of the men said getting up from their chairs and walking out of the room. Once the last man, John Dudley, left the room and closed it. "Victoria..." Edward said, breaking the silence. "Yes, Edward?" Victoria said as she was about to get up from Edward's lap before Edward grabbed her hand, stopping her from getting up.

"About what we were gonna talk about.. uh.. I wanted to let you know that I'm not ready for..." Edward stopped suddenly. "What? Not ready for what?" She asked, Edward just sighed as he answered her. "Sex..."
"Oh.." Victoria said, "That's okay. To be honest, I'm not ready either. I mean I am okay with marrying you, because I love you, but I don't wanna have sex just yet either. I mean we are pretty young anyway." Victoria said.

Edward just smiled at the fact that they both want to wait. "I say we could maybe to it when we are older, but most importantly when we are ready." Edward said. "I agree." Victoria said, smiling sweetly at Edward. "God, I love you so much." He said after a few seconds before kissing Victoria passionately on the lips. He grabbed her cheek and caressed it. "I love you so much, Victoria." He said, "Never leave me." He continued.

"I won't. I am yours and you are mine."

"Yes. You are my Queen and I am your King."

A/N: I know this is a short chapter but whatever. The next chapter will probably skip a few days because I'm bored. Now bye.
