Chapter XXI
"I see that you have been glowing ever since you're married, Nick,"
"And I have seen that you are being extra annoying, Ian. I wonder if you should get leg shackled as well so that your annoyance will not ruin my day," Nick said as he was reviewing the matter of his tenants as well as the problems within the court.
The Lesser Gentry, the mortal lords that knew about the secret of the royal family and the Higher Court lords, was trying to make sure that their respective tenants were happy without having to rely on the Higher Court. But it would seem impossible since they have to make sure that everyone was treated the same and fair. Nick rubbed his temple as Ian was settling on the chair in front of his desk.
"Still not giving me the land, are you?" he said as Nick was glaring at his peer. Ian was smirking before he was whistling low. Niklaus was sighing before rubbing his eyes as he leaned back on his chair.

Niklaus noticed that neither husband was making any statement to make sure that their wives would not bully their youngest sister again. But what Niklaus did not count for when Lord Rafael Douglas was getting up from his seat and tugged his wife with him."Apologize, Your Graces.
