I didn't think that our relationship could actually improve, but my Queen started feeling way more conscious about my presence. She would sometimes stop her work when I walked into a room and take some time to smile at me. She would also stroll to me to peck my cheek. In public, she would just acknowledge my presence with her body turned a few degrees in my direction, and her hand would sometimes reach mine. It didn't happen overnight, actually, but I hadn't realised it until some point. The…-

Untying my Queen turned out more difficult than restraining her. My knots were too tight, and the shawls left pink signs on her wrists. Next time, I would be more careful. And also tie a ribbon, so that the knot could be undone with a single move. ?Does it hurt?? I asked while pecking on her skin. She shook her head and lay in my arms. ?It's fine. There won't be anything visible tomorrow.? ?You're quite knowledgeable, my Queen. I believed this was the first time you did something like…

I had kept in contact with Martia by correspondence, and I've also asked her a couple of times about the Ethiro army. I hadn't heard anything about the people that appeared in the palace that day. I informed my Queen about that. I've lived in Ethiro for more than a quarter of a century; I was familiar with the people at the top of the command chain. Just by asking a couple of questions to the delegation, I confirmed that they weren't who they pretended to be. As a result, my Queen chased them…

After knowing the Queen of Polis, bit by bit, I got to know Theodora. She would always start a conversation after our love-making session, as she called it. In the beginning, she was just curious about me. Then, she started to talk to me about herself. Each time, the distance between our bodies shortened, and, in a couple of months, we became used to cuddle together right before sleep. I liked the silkiness of her hair and skin, and I would use that chance to caress her lightly until falling…

The light fabric of the gown didn't prevent me from imagining her shapes. Her slim figure and round hips. Her flat stomach and perfectly rounded breasts. My hand landed on her back, itching to move. But I still knew that I wasn't allowed to touch a Queen like that. It took me a whole minute to summon the courage to move the hand down, unnoticed by the Queen. She was too focused on the kiss. Her fingers were on my cheeks, and her chest was moving up and down with haste. Her nipples were visible…

A Queen. What a joke. However, time passed faster than expected, and I found myself in a carriage, directed to my new home. Martia was starting to get used to her new role, and she promised not to get entangled with the capital if not needed. Polis was a lovely city, built around a large harbour. It was warm, sometimes suffocating. The sea was blue like a jewel, and the air was full of the seagulls' noise. There was always a light breeze, flowing in the streets. The Royal Palace was set in…

I was born as the first son of the Lord of Kyre. My life had been typical for the most part of my childhood. My mother died while giving birth, so I didn't have any memory of her. My step-mother, though, was kind to me. She took care that I had everything I needed, and she loved my father with sincerity and her whole heart. I was almost ten when I was told I would have a sibling. ?I hope it will be a brother,? I said to the Archduchess. ?So that I can play swords with him.? I was so…

I leave the contracts I just went to pick on the lower table and lean back on the sofa. I cross my arms and exhale noisily. ?You can have these back,? I whisper. ?I don't need them anymore.? ?What?? Alexander replies, straightening his back and looking at me with the expression of a child that got lost. Isn't this something desirable for him? I'll stay forever. Has he already changed his mind? ?Don't you want your wife anymore?? I ask. I wasn't planning to leave soon anyway. What's with this…

?Oh no, my Lady,? the maid exclaims. ?The first Lady has her own portrait.? Of course she does, I'm looking at her. There is a small painting next to the huge one with the last Lord and Lady. There's a woman alone in it. It's a half-length portrait. Her hands are joined in the front, showing a beautiful emerald ring. Her fingers are tiny and long, elegant like only a princess can be. Her black hair is straight and loose on her shoulders, while a little smile lingers on her lips. What attracts…

Alexander has already left and reached his office. I know because I have little spies telling me. It's nice to be the Lady of the place. People tell me what I want to know, not like in the capital. It's the perfect time to go out and walk in a circle. For exercise. I also need to talk with the nanny. She must be the one that knows my Duke better than anyone else. She saw him transform from a baby to a grown man. ?It looks like it's going to snow again,? I comment while approaching the chimney.…
