Dylan and Lizha's carriage stopped.
Dylan pulled back the curtain and took a peek."I think this is the castle…" he said, still looking out the window.Then the carriage door was opened."Your Highness!" the carriage rider bowed, "I am honored to announce that we have arrived at the Lavamore empire.""Great," Dylan said, standing up.The knight stepped back from the carriage entrance and raised his hand.Dylan took the rider's hand and with his help got out of the carriage.Dylan looked around and meanwhile Lizha was also getting out of the carriage with the help of the rider."Wow! How beautiful!" said Lizha, moving closer to Dylan."What's so beautiful here?" Dylan continued to look around.In front of the castle there were numerous carriages and some nobles talking.At the same moment they saw a woman come to meet them.The woman bowed."Good morning! Welcome to the Lavamore Empire. I am Eva, one of the castle's governesses. I will serveAt the same moment Eva appeared and blocked his vision, even before he could make sure of his doubt."Huh!" Dylan lifted his head, looking at Eva."Excuse me your highness! It may not be opportune, but it may be in your best interest.""Proceed!""I just received the information that there is an empty room on the floor below yours. So I would like to know if you will continue to occupy the current room or will you occupy the second floor room.""Huh! It is just one?""Yes. Your escort can remain in her actual room and your highness downstairs.""Huh... Better leave it just how it's. We will continue on the third floor.""Are you sure?""Yes.""Fine. Thank you and excuse me."Eva left.At the same moment, Dylan looked in the previous direction and the mysterious man was no longer there. Not just him, but like the other nobleman he was talking to."The man you were looking at has disappeared."Dylan looked around for the person."Is h
"Have a good day and may the Lord accompany you," said the bishop of the chapel, "In the name of father, son and holy spirit," he blessed the people of the chapel.The mass attendees accompanied him as he spoke."Go in peace and may God be with you.""Thank God," All responded.Then the bishop came down from the altar and his entourage too, following him.Everyone expected the bishop to leave the chapel, as soon as he left, everyone else began to disperse.Dylan knelt on the floor and began to say a little prayer.After about three minutes he got up and walked into the main corridor of the chapel, made the sign of the cross, then bowed and left.He left the chapel gracefully, heading towards the main building of the castle and consequently the place where he would have breakfast with the other nobles.He left and a few steps from the entrance of the chapel, there were some small groups of nobles exchanging conversation."Well..." he looked away, i
"Archie? What are you doing here?" Dylan asked, all confused."I should be the one asking it…" said Archie, also being confused."Huh... no...!" Dylan stared at him."What?" Archie asked, all confused."You set this up to be alone with me?""Huh! What?" Archie was completely dumbfounded."I can't believe Archie… how…" Dylan continued to stare at him."What are you talking about Dylan?" Archie asked, completely confused.Dylan squeaked, ignored him and went to the door. He took the doorknob and tried to open it."Huh! It's locked!"Dylan returned to the center of the solar."Why are you doing all this Archie?" Dylan was threatening him with his eyes."What?" Archie was pretty confused."Stop being a fool Archie... you sent Eva to tell me that Alexandra was waiting for me, in order to be alone with me.""Huh!" Archie shook his head, "Who is Eva? Alexandra? Are you talking about the Emperor's first daughter?""Stop playing dumb and sto
"Is this what I think it is?" Dylan asked, all surprised."That's right. The same type of lubricating oil we used."Archie closed the jar and returned it to the wardrobe."And you say you don't know any of this..." Dylan said, still suspicious of Archie.“Honestly Dylan… how many times have I said I have nothing to do with all this bullshit? You read the note those two left yourself,” Archie pointed out to the table."So how do you explain having this oil in the wardrobe? It's not like they know I'm a man... Or do they?" Dylan looked worried."Of course not. This is proof that our escorts are also in league with Alexandra and Scott.""Huh!""The person who bought the oil for us was Bentley... so there's no doubt it's him.""Huh... Are they waiting for us to have sex?" Dylan grimaced.Archie shrugged."And besides, this pot is way too big... it has enough oil for several nights..." Archie said, all innocent.
"Hmm…" Archie took both Dylan's wrists and took a step back, "what are you doing?" he stared at Dylan."Make…" Dylan looked away."What?""Make love to me…" Dylan said, still not looking at Archie."You must be kidding...""Not really…" Dylan finally looked at him."Well… I don't feel like doing it," Archie said, already walking away from Dylan."Huh!" Dylan didn't believe what Archie had said.He simply heard Archie's footsteps moving away from him."Well… maybe I can make an exception…" Archie said.Dylan turned and looked at him, "Really?""Yes," Archie cracked a smirk.Dylan frowned, recognizing that smile. It was the smile he always made whenever he wanted to do something lewd."It's going to cost me something, isn't it?""Not really…" Archie said heading towards the bed.Dylan could tell from the sentence that there really was something behind that
Archie took a long breath and lay down on top of Dylan's chest. Both took deep breaths."I just hope you don't ask me for another round... because this was the fourth and I'm not going to make it through... Unless I also drink that adulterated juice," Archie said, taking a deep breath.Dylan took a deep breath."I don't think I want any more... I'm already super tired...""Fine.""So Archie... You can get off me now. You're heavier than before.""I know… and no. It's the least you can do because I wasted my body.""It's not like you haven't benefited from this...""Yes... but you asked for it. I'm not getting up.""Fine."They both lay there without speaking."Did you throw away your wedding ring?" Archie asked, breaking the silence."No. I kept it.""I bet you took it the day you got back to Greavaria.""Yes I did it.""Wow… do you hate me that much?""No…I don't hate you Arch
Archie was buttoning Dylan's dress."I didn't hear the door being unlocked… did they forget us?" Dylan asked as Archie buttoned his dress."I didn't hear either… maybe they unlocked the door while we were distracted.""It's possible...""I'll see as soon as I'm done here...""Alright."Archie finished buttoning the dress."Done!""Thank you," Dylan said, sitting down in front of the mirror.Archie headed for the door, grabbed the doorknob, and tried to open the door.Unlike earlier, at that moment the door opened."It's open..." Archie said, peeking outside.Dylan sighed, "What a relief..." he clutched at his chest."This floor is empty…" said Archie looking around.Dylan was still there combing his hair.Archie stopped at the foot of the door, leaning his arm on the knob.He saw Dylan combing his hair while being very focused. He cracked a smile."Do you want me to wait for you or can I go ahead and meet me in the carriage?"Dyl
Archie got out of the carriage and sighed."Finally..."At the same moment Dylan also got out of the carriage."Shall we go?" Archie raised his arm."Yes," Dylan hooked his arm through his husband's.Both went out towards the main building of the castle.In the courtyard there were numerous carriages and people of the nobility exchanging words.Both entered the main building."I'm going to my bedchamber... I need to change my dress."Archie looked at him and frowned."And then you say you're not a woman...""This dress is heavy Archie...""Fine, go!""See you in a bit," Dylan released him and started walking toward the castle's alternate entrance.Archie stood there watching him go.The first opportunity he gets to get away from me… he pulls away… I wish I'd kissed him now… but just because we slept together yesterday… doesn't mean we'll get back together, Archie thought .
