Warning: smut content. Alexander observes me with his challenging gaze, reminding me with his eyes only that I wasn't supposed to give him orders. His arms are relaxed on the backrest, and his lips curled up. Oh, I missed his evil grin. ?Kiss me!? I repeat, and he moves forward. His lips land on my shoulder instead of my lips. He slips down, reaching my breasts and licking my nipple. He plays with it, pressing in between his teeth and then kissing around it to let me relax. All to return teasing…-

Warning: smut content. Alexander's revived eyes gaze at me with a grin. ?You better don't give orders, wife. You know how it ends every time...? I sigh and lean my head back. He's found his purpose for life again and won't let me go soon. I hoped his sweet moment would last the afternoon, if not the whole day. ?I wouldn't dare,? I defend myself with the fakest tone ever. ?I know what to do now,? he chuckles. ?What?? ?I'm feeling a bit selfish today.? ?I like selfish,? I murmur,…

?We still have time before lunch,? Alexander exclaims when he realises that the fish soup can't be cooked in such a short while. ?Let's go freshen up!? I follow him, pretending to believe he really wants to freshen up and rest before the meal. ?We're almost done with the work in Polis,? I say while observing his back and our twined hands. Alexander is a bit in a hurry, isn't he? ?We'll soon depart for Kyre. We're going by land, so we might stop in the capital for a week or so.? I haven't…

?My Lady!? someone calls me. I turn, wondering who dares to call out for me and not Alexander. Judging by the title used, it's someone from Kyre. But yet... It's Alexander, the Lord of Kyre... I find a fine young man in front of me. Very little in common with the boy that helped me build my information web ten years ago. He's changed as much as I did, and he's now a teacher working in this school. He's none other than the boy telling to me about Duke Grahm's messages with the late Empress. He…

Working in Polis feels identical to when I was a young maiden. The officers are almost all the same, and they know the Palace and its dynamics. I can check the accounts and reforms without too much hassle. They all seem in order. I also have a chat with the high officer appointed from the capital. I can't help but agree with Alexander: he's competent. My part of the work is to check whether the information sent to Kyre is correct and to write down the long-term plans for the city. I won't be back…

How can someone retain their energies like this, I will never understand. Thank goodness I said after lunch while talking with the officers, for I won't be able to get up early tomorrow. Alexander is shaving at the light of a lantern, wearing only his trousers and letting me admire his back from the bed. As for me... I'm lying down, my head resting on the arms, covered by the sheet in strategic spots. I'm staring shamelessly, smiling when our eyes meet on the giant mirror of the dressing table.…

I'm less hungry than Alexander, so I get up and reach the terrace while he's still eating. I've missed this view. Last time, I couldn't just get out here and take a look. We were visiting the place in secret, so we couldn't let anyone see that there was someone in the late Queen's room! Yet, now, it's fine. Even if they see me, they'll just remember the good old times and continue on. The harbour is lively as I remember it was during my childhood. The war forced us to decrease the number of…

The harbour is back in function. Hence, we need to wait our turn to get in. Even if Alexander is cursing under his breath, I'm happy about this. It means that Polis is flourishing again. There's less work for me. I just have to check if the reports sent in the last couple of years are exact, and I'll be free to go back to Kyre. ?You didn't have to follow me,? I point out. Alexander looks at me with his most suffering expression, almost agreeing. But then, he realises that it would have meant a…

The sea is not as calm today, but it doesn't matter too much. I can see Polis in the distance, which means we'll be there by evening. The usual breeze moves my hair, which I let loose on my back, and my clothes follow the sails with their waving. If he wasn't bedridden, Alexander would enjoy this view and feelings with me. But since he can't even walk around after a month of journey by sea, I let him rest in the cabin. He must be the only person in the world whose seasickness worsens with time…

It takes Alexander a whole week to accept. He visits Lavinia and me every day. Sometimes, he stays for the night. Seldom, he walks back to his room. The chamber I occupied has become more comfortable and cosy. The maids light the fire and keep it warm for me. I also have a small working room attached. I still need to walk to the Lady's office for some documents. I can't just forget about my duties. Even if they're not my duties anymore, I shouldn't let Stoneyard be unmanaged for the time of…
