THE QUEENS EXTORTION

"But I don't understand." said the wicked Queen to her new young lover,"How can you be my grandson?"
"It's rather complicated." replied the lad, who appeared far older than his 23 years suggested.
"My mother had an affair with your son when she was 43 and he was only 16. I was the result of that liason."
"But I don't have a son!" the Queen insisted.
"ah, but you do!" exclaimed the lad, " think back to that summer in 64 when you were visited by the traveling priest from Russia."
"The man with the dark green eyes! I remember!" said the Queen, "But I didn't tell anyone I was pregnant! and after the baby was born, I gave her away, so you couldn't be the result of such a union, because I had a girl."
"thats what the doctor was paid to tell you, Grandmother, so that you would agree to the adoption."
"I don't believe you!" shouted the Queen, who was becoming more alarmed by the second. " And even if it were true, why do you come to me now? What do you want from me? Surely you aren't seduced by the withered beauty I use to be?"
"no," the lad said quietly. " I'm not swayed by your beauty, I only come to take my place by your side as your heir to the throne."
"And what about your father, where is he to fit in all this?"
"well," the lad said with a slight smile, " he seems to fit quite nicely beneath the hard wood flooring under your bed, where I disposed of his body last evening. And as long as things go well between the two of us, he'll remain there alone."

Very nice Jim.

hmmm..."royalty"

Literally? or figuratively?

Meaning....does it have to be about/include "royalty" (ie. queen/king, prince/princess) or can royalty be used metaphorically or descriptively (ie. King of pop, Queen Latifah, King of the hill, prince of darkness)?
