Someone knocked Archie's bedchamber's door.
Who should it be? Archie wondered, still lying on Dylan's chest.The door was knocked again."Archie! Someone's at the door," Dylan said, still with his eyes closed."WHO IS IT?" Archie asked."Why don't you go see? Instead of screaming...""IT'S ME IAN!"Archie sighed and then got up.He went to the door and opened it, leaving it half open. He took a peek and who was there was really Ian."Good Morning!" said Ian."Good Morning!" said Archie sleepily."I received the information that you had already returned from Lavamore and hoped to see you at the council. But you didn't show up, so I came to find out what happened."Archie ran a hand over his face, "Does that mean it's already 11 am?""Exactly.""I was very tired... the trip was tiring..."Ian looked him up and down and noticed that Archie was undressed, as he could only see his chest and the underside was coverDylan saw Jeannette carrying Archad in her arms and Ian was beside her."There they are!" he said, still looking at the Morris couple."Who?" Archie looked around."Ian and Jeanette.""Ahm..."Finally Archie saw the Morris couple and held up his hand, waving at them.The Morris couple veered off the path and headed towards the Seanfords."Your Highness Dylan...!" said Jeannette as soon as she caught up with them.Dylan stood up, "Jeannette!"Jeannette bowed."Oh... Archad is looking so cute..." he said, looking at the baby."Thank you! You can hold him..." said Jeannette, handing the child to Dylan."Ah..." Dylan received the baby, "How cute! He didn't finish eating right?""No... no…" Jeanette shook her head."Ah, that's good!" Dylan lifted the baby, "Archad! he lowered the baby.He kept repeating the movements while calling the baby.Archie was sitting there with a goofy grin on his face, looking at Dylan."Your Imperial Hig
Dylan got out of the carriage, followed by the empress, and they both headed toward the castle's main entrance.Both walked gracefully side by side without speaking.Morticia sighed in relief."I'm glad you're back…" she refreshed herself with her fan."I would like to know the reason...""I was upset about going to these social visits alone.""I understand.""And I wasn't imagining myself with a new girl...""I understand.""You know new relationships are stressful... For example, I'm used to you. You're very graceful and cultured, very calm. I'm imagining showing up a boring and scattered woman as Archie's second wife."Dylan looked at her sideways.I don't understand why she talks like that about a second wife... Because she was also the second one when she married the emperor, Dylan thought as he looked at her sideways.Both finally entered and before Morticia could say anything, Dylan stopped her."Well...
"She said there are certain conditions for you to be handed the throne... and one of those conditions is that you have a child.""Huh... I don't know where the empress got that... Because that's not the truth. I don't particularly know that rule.""Whatever Archie… you are the successor to the throne and I cannot give you children. So marry another woman soon."Archie lay back on Dylan's chest."Please Dylan… don't say such a thing… I don't need a second wife.""And what about the throne?""As far as I know my father had me after becoming Emperor. So what the Empress said is not true..." he said snuggling against his chest."Are you sure?""It may not seem like it... but I know 90 percent of the Promor rules like every part of your body..."Dylan burst out laughing."You crazy!""So settle down... Morticia just fills people's heads.""Alright.""Do you want to make love one more time?"Dylan s
Dear father!I believe that my first letter reached you successfully.As I wrote you in the previous letter, I went back to Promor with my husband and everything is fine between us.But I would like to visit the kingdom to take my ring back and not only, but also to pay you a little visit.As I know you always have courtesy visits to make, my husband suggested that I send you this letter in advance, as it might be in case you were not in the kingdom.So dear father, I look forward to your letter.Sincerely, your dear daughter.Dylan Seanford.Dylan finished writing the letter.He lowered the quill and lifted the manuscript, taking a quick look around.At the same moment the door was opened, he took a quick look and saw his husband close the door."Archie...""My love," Archie said, walking towards him.Dylan went back to reading his manuscript.Archie caught up with Dylan and kissed him on the cheek."What are you doing?" he asked, glanci
Dylan and Archie walked side by side towards the castle's training yard.As soon as they arrived Archie walked out onto a porch."Choose whichever sword you like," said Archie, introducing the sword table.Dylan went to the table and took a quick look at the swords above."Don't forget your protective gear," Archie said, pulling away from Dylan."Alright..."Archie crossed his arms and looked at Dylan.Dylan picked up a sword and then swung it.Archie frowned at the way Dylan wielded the sword."Too heavy," Dylan said, already handing back the sword.He took another one and did the same process."Too light… it might break…" he said, handing back the sword.He looked back across the table and Archie was looking at him.Archie suddenly felt someone approaching and turned.Who was going towards him was Ian."Your Imperial Highness," Ian bowed."Ian...""I heard from some servants that you
Dylan and Archie continued to talk, seated on one of the benches in the castle's courtyard. "After we visit Greavaria...is there another place you would like to visit?" Archie asked. "Hmmm," Dylan went into thoughtful mode and then chuckled."What?" asked Archie, being totally curious."The only place I know after Greavaria is the..."Suddenly a messenger rode passing through them at great speed.Both followed the knight with their eyes. The knight reached the foot of the main entrance to the castle, quickly dismounted from his horse and ran into the castle."I've never seen that kind of knight here in the castle," Dylan said."That knight is a messenger who is coming straight from the battlefield.""Huh! Promor is he in battle?""Yes. With the Wethage dynasty. The battle is already three months.""I see. I don't know this dynasty. And why are you in the middle of a war?""There are things I don't like to talk about..." he said
Dylan was sitting writing something and someone knocked the door. He lowered the quill and looked at the door."Who is it?""It's me Lizha!""You may come in!" said Dylan.Dylan went back to writing and at the same moment Lizha entered.Lizha was amazed seeing that Archie was sleeping snugly in Dylan's bed at the time. She ignored it all, went in and closed the door. Then she walked towards the table where Dylan was."I was just coming to ask you if you were going to have dinner with your husband or if you were going to have dinner with Mortícia..." she said, as soon as she arrived at the table, "but I didn't expect your husband would be here..." she looked at Archie.Dylan lowered the quill and looked at Archie."Haven't you heard about what happened?""Hmmm… what happened?""His cousin Firmin lost his life this morning.""Hmmm. I just heard that was the first general who had died in battle.""Yes, it w
Archie knocked the door of Dylan's bedchamber."I'm coming in," he said, already opening the door.As soon as he opened the door he saw Dylan sitting in front of the mirror having the veil on his head.He walked in and closed the door."Archie…" said Dylan, seeing him through the mirror.Archie wore a black surcoat, black pants, black boots, and a black cloak. Despite appearing to be annoyed, he was very handsome.Archie leaned against the door and crossed his arms."Are you sure you're not really a woman?" he asked calmly, looking at Dylan in the mirror.Dylan made a face of one who was totally horrified as he looked at him in the mirror."You always tease me," Dylan said."Huh!" Archie was speechless."It's already done, your highness!" said Lizha, pulling away from Dylan."Fine," Dylan said, standing up."The gloves!" Lizha handed him a pair of black gloves.Dylan held out his hands so Lizha could put the gloves on him.Archie si
