His Royal Slut Ninety
The house sat at the edge of a quieter district, far enough from the capital’s heavier traffic that the afternoon sounded mostly of wind in the hedges and the occasional distant dog. It was not a grand place. The walls were solid, the rooms a little worn, and the kitchen always smelled of whatever had been cooked last. Nathan’s grandparents had raised him there for as long as he could properly remember. His parents came and went in short visits that felt more like interruptions than part of the real schedule of the house. Nathan had learned not to wait by the window for cars that might not stop. He was ten the afternoon the second child arrived. His grandmother had been restless all morning, moving between the front room and the kitchen with a tightness around her mouth that usually meant adult business was about to land in the house. His grandfather sat at the small table with the newspaper open and not being read. Nathan had been told only that his parents were bringing someone. H
His Royal Slut Eighty Nine
The residence wing settled into evening the way it always did when the larger noise of the day had finally gone home. Somewhere down the corridor a member of staff finished the last of the clearing from the afternoon visit and went off shift. The garden lights came on in their usual soft sequence beyond the windows. In the family rooms, the evidence of cousins and chaos had been mostly restored to order, drawings stacked, shoes paired, the sticky fruit plate washed and put away. What remained was the smaller household: Daniel, Raine, and the three children who still, after all these years, treated bedtime as a negotiation rather than a fact. Raine stood at the dresser folding a shirt that did not strictly need folding, mostly for the quiet of the task. Behind him Daniel moved through the familiar routine of checking the outer latch and setting his tablet face down on the side table, the official day closed whether the kingdom agreed or not. Twelve years of nights like this had worn

Twelve years changed the shape of the palace without erasing what it had been. The corridors that had once carried lockdown orders and the echo of a queen being taken from a ballroom floor now carried different noise, smaller footsteps, arguments about stolen pastry, the distant shriek of a child who had discovered running was faster than walking and intended to prove it on every polished surface available. The kingdom had settled into a long stretch of steady rule. The scandals of that year had hardened into history, then into the kind of history people referenced with a shake of the head and a comment about how far things had come. Daniel still wore the crown. He wore it with less ice in his posture than he once had, though anyone who mistook the change for softness in matters of state learned otherwise quickly enough. Raine found him in the east family sitting room just after breakfast, one knee down while he attempted to fasten a very small shoe onto a very uncooperative foot. T

The message from Nathan’s office arrived just after dawn, formal even through the informal channel he had been using with Raine all week. There were matters in his own country that had been postponed past the point of safety, board structures, a regulatory hearing, two contracts that would not survive another stretch of his absence without inviting the kind of attention neither of them wanted. He had delayed as long as the situation allowed. He could not delay further. Raine read the message twice at the breakfast table before setting the phone down. Daniel watched him over the rim of his cup. “When.” “This afternoon,” Raine said. “Private jet. He already moved the departure up once to stay for the village. He cannot move it again.” Daniel nodded once. He did not offer empty reassurance about short trips and easy returns. He simply reached across the table and put his hand over Raine’s, solid and present, while the morning light moved across the residual peace of a household that
His Royal Slut Eighty Six
Two days after the village, Nathan canceled three meetings without offering the kind of explanation his office usually required. Kade found out about the date the way he still found out about most things that were not security protocols, after the decision had already been made. He came out of the suite bathroom in the late afternoon to find Nathan standing by the window with his phone in one hand and a look of focused satisfaction that usually meant someone, somewhere, had just lost an argument they did not know they were having. “We are going out,” Nathan said. Kade paused with the towel still in his hands. “Out where.” “On a date.” Nathan pocketed the phone and turned fully toward him. “Not a dinner with my brother. Not a palace corridor. Not a hotel suite with the door locked from the inside. A date. You will wear something that is not a duty suit. I will handle the rest.” Kade stared at him for a long second. The word sat in the room with more weight than its size suggested.

The capital had already moved into evening by the time the convoy cleared the outer districts and the palace lights appeared in the distance. The village still clung to them in small ways, dust on the lower edges of trousers, the wrapped parcel of flatbread Raine had insisted Nathan take, the quieter expression Nathan had worn since the old woman closed her hands around his and thanked him for keeping her boy. When the vehicles finally separated at the junction, Daniel and Raine turning toward the palace residence and Nathan’s car continuing on toward the hotel, the silence inside the second car felt different from ordinary end of day quiet. Kade drove. He always drove when the detail was reduced to the two of them. Nathan sat in the back for the first stretch, then moved up into the passenger seat without explanation once the denser traffic closed around them. He did not speak. His hand rested on his knee, then, after a stretch of unremarkable streets, settled on Kade’s thigh with a
