Crossdressing For The Emperor Chapter 27 : Carl’s POV
Lio was still talking about the park when we got home.Honestly, I expected it. When something gets him excited, he really gets into it, thinking about it from every angle and saying everything there is to say. It’s one of the things that makes him easy to be around. His enthusiasm is real and he’s not ashamed of it. He doesn’t pretend to be interested; he just is.“Every week,” he said, dropping onto his mat and kicking his shoes off. “We’re going every week. No matter what, we’ll make time for it.”“We’ll make time for it,” I said.“You say that now.”“I mean it now. It’s a park, Lio. It’s not going anywhere.”He pointed at me. “Neither are we, and that’s my point. We live here. We should actually live here, not just work, sleep, and eat. The park is part of that.”I couldn’t disagree with his thinking. I didn’t really want to. He was right; we had been sticking to a small area since we arrived – the house, t
Crossdressing For The Emperor Chapter 26 : Carl’s POV
The next morning, I woke up earlier because Lioren wouldn't stop coughing.It was the kind of cough that wakes you up before you're fully awake, pulling you from sleep before you're ready. I lay still for a moment, hoping it would pass. But it didn't. Then I heard Lio moving uncomfortably on his sleeping mat, so I sat up.The light coming through the window was still dim, not yet sure what kind of day it would be. I got up and went to Lio's side of the room. He was lying with his knees pulled up a little, his forehead wrinkled, and his breathing uneven."Lio."He opened his eyes and looked at me, trying hard to pretend he was okay. "I'm fine," he said right away. That told me he wasn't fine at all, because people who are really fine don't feel the need to say it before you even ask.I crouched beside him and put the back of my hand on his forehead. He was hot. More than hot, actually. He felt like he had a fever."You h

The idea came to me while I was still sitting at the table, turning my empty bowl slowly in my hands and staring at nothing in particular. Carl was quiet next to me, doing that thing he does when he's thinking hard. His jaw would tighten a little, and his eyes would look far away."What if we use the money we have for something small?" I said. "A little business. Something we can run from here."Carl looked at me. "Like what?""I don't know yet. But we have a little saved now, and if we're careful, we can use it to start something instead of waiting for someone to ask us to clear their yard."He was quiet for a moment, and I could see him thinking about it. Carl doesn't dismiss ideas quickly, but he also doesn't jump into things without thinking them through. That's one of the things I like most about him. He takes his time with decisions, like he takes his time with cooking, carefully with focus."It's not a bad idea," he said
Crossdressing For The Emperor Chapter 24 : Lioren’s POV
"I had a dream," I said, before he could speak.He stopped stretching his arms and looked at me fully. "A dream?""About the Emperor."The words hung in the air between us. I watched his face change as he heard them. He didn't say anything right away, which was something I had learned to like about Carl. He didn't rush to fill the silence. He sat on his mat, folded his hands, and gave me his full attention, like he did for things he truly cared about."Tell me," he said simply.So I told him everything. I told him about the gold and the diamonds, about feeling silk on skin I'd never touched, about a kingdom bowing to me and a heavy crown on my head. I told him about Kaelric standing beside me, tall and calm like I remembered him, his eyes holding that quiet power that never left him, even when he was hurt and weak in my care. I told Carl about the moment just before I woke up, when the Emperor leaned toward me with a soft look on his face, something I didn't expect from a man like him
Crossdressing For The Emperor Chapter 23 : Lioren’s POV
I never expected to dream. I had been so tired when I finally lay down on my mat that I thought sleep would just take me somewhere blank and quiet, the kind of deep, dreamless rest that belongs to tired bodies and minds without worries. And for a while, that's exactly what happened. I drifted away from being awake quickly, sinking through my thoughts without any effort at all.But then the dream came.It didn't arrive with the confusing feeling of most dreams, where ordinary ones start in the middle of a scene in some almost-familiar place that almost makes sense. This one came in slowly, like curtains being pulled back to show something that was already set up and waiting behind them.I was standing in a room so large that the walls in the distance were hard to see. The light inside was golden and seemed to come from nowhere in particular, like it was coming from everywhere at once, making everything it touched soft. The floor under my feet was
Crossdressing For The Emperor Chapter 22 : Lioren’s POV
I think the most amazing thing in the world isn't power, or money, or beauty. It's finding someone who chooses to stay with you when they could easily leave. Someone who walks into hard times with you, not because they have to, but because somewhere along the way, they decided your life and their life weren't completely separate anymore.I had been thinking about this since we walked home from Boro's yard. The money felt warm in Carl's hand, and we were both tired in that good, satisfying way that comes from a full day of real work. We sat at our low table in the fading light coming through the open window and spread the coins out between us to count them properly.It was a good amount. Not a lot of money, but enough to last us a week if we were careful. I felt joy seeing those coins that had nothing to do with how much they were worth. It was the joy of something earned. Something clean."This will be more than enough to keep us going," I said, looki
