Someone knocked Dylan's bedchamber's door."I m coming!"Lizha got up and walked towards the door.She opened the door, "Yes…" she said casually, "Bentley…"Dylan turned and looked at the door."Bentley..."Lizha turned and looked at Dylan."Your Highness. Your Imperial Highness's escort says he has a message..."Dylan frowned and then nodded.Lizha opened the door a little wider so Bentley could leave the message directly to Dylan.Bentley bowed, "Good evening, Your Highness! I have a message from Your Imperial Highness...""I'm all ears..."Bentley lifted his head."His Imperial Highness has sent me to inform that he is waiting for you in his solar..."Dylan's eyes widened.He's waiting for me… Dylan thought, totally confused."Your Highness..." Lizha caught his eye."Huh! Yes... I'll be right there..." Dylan said, already standing up."Thank you! I'll get deliver the answer..."Bentley bowed and then left.Lizha stood th
Dylan was sitting at the foot of the mirror combing his hair, unlike other days, that night Lizha was not serving him, as the empress borrowed her friend's services that night.Dylan was completely upset."Since when is there an escort loan?" he asked, all stumbling.Suddenly the door was knocked lightly.Dylan peeked back at the door."Has anyone just knocked the door?" he asked, still looking at the door, "it must have been my impression..." he went back to combing his hair again.Again the door was knocked."So someone was really slamming the door... Who could it be at this hour? Who is it?" he continued to comb his hair.There was no response and the person continued to knock the door intensely."But what is this?" Dylan took a peek to look at the door, "I m coming..." Dylan set the comb down on the table almost tossing it.He got up and walked towards the door."I said, I m coming..." he said impatiently when he heard that the door knocks
Lizha entered Dylan's room."Dylan... Wake up..."Lizha started looking around."What is this smell?" Lizha quickly ran a hand over her nostrils."What a strong smell!"Lizha went to the windows and opened it."Dylan… wake up…" she said, still opening the windows."Mmmm… close those windows… I'm still not okay," Dylan muttered as he snuggled between the blankets."You can complain... but what about getting up?""Close the windows..."Lizha ignored him and went to the foot of his bed."You still can't get the time?" Lizha crossed her arms and glared at him.Dylan turned and pulled back the covers.Lizha looked around smelling the sweet scent that permeated Dylan's room."What is this smell that permeates this room?"Dylan continued to sleep.Lizha grimaced, still looking at him.She moved closer to his bed and pulled the blanket."Huh!" Lizha was amazed seeing Dylan naked, "Why the hell are you undressed?"Dylan pulled back the
When night comes, the empress takes Lizha to her... Who will serve me? Dorothy and Hannah don't know my secret, thought Dylan, combing his hair, ready to go to sleep.The door was opened."Lizha!" said Dylan excitedly, "I thought you weren't coming..." he looked in the mirror and saw his husband locking the door, "Archie what are you doing here?" he turned and saw Archie already walking towards him.Archie wore a long morning linen shirt, brown pants, and a pair of black boots."What do you think I would want here in your bedchamber?"Dylan frowned.He can't be serious, Dylan thought, still watching Archie getting close.Archie held up the oil pot and smirked.Dylan stood up, "No… it won't happen today…" Dylan started walking, trying to get away from Archie.Archie took him by the arm and pulled him so that Dylan had his back to him.Archie hugged him and started sniffing Dylan's neck."I said cooperate…" Archie whispered, in Dylan's ear.Dy
Dylan took a sip of his tea and quickly set the cup down on the table.Archie was across the table eating his bread serenely. He looked upset.Since we started eating he hasn't said anything... He must be upset about the pot I broke yesterday..., thought Dylan, as he ate.I know he's just doing this to humiliate me and avenge his mother… it's not like he really likes me, he thought, giving a slight laugh.Archie looked at him.Dylan looked away.Archie ignored him and went back to eating.Of course he'll never like me... we're two men... he's just having fun with me... so the sooner I can get away from him... the better."Dylan...""Huh!" Dylan was flustered hearing Archie call him.Dylan lifted his head looking at Archie, and saw his husband's eyes already riveted to him."I want you to be honest with me..." Archie said staring at him."Yeah… I'm all ears…" Dylan said, totally confused."Here between us, what do I get for hiding this secret th
Archie kept his hands still covering his face."Dylan…" he whispered.Suddenly he started to hear someone calling him.God… I'm so in love I can hear his voice, Archie thought.He continued to hear Dylan's voice shouting his name.Archie lowered his hands.That's not in my head, he thought.He opened the window and saw Dylan running towards the carriage."ARCHIE! WAIT… I'LL GO WITH YOU…"Dylan ran as he lifted his dress to his ankles level."Dylan…" Archie's heart pounded.Archie quickly poked his head out the window."STOP THE CARRIAGE," he shouted.The carriage stopped, Archie quickly opened the door and ran towards Dylan.Dylan stopped when he saw Archie running towards him.He bent his body slightly, resting his hands on his hips."I've never run so much in my life..." he took a deep breath.Finally Archie caught up with him.Dylan stood up, "I've already made up my mind... I..."Archie suddenly grabbed Dylan by his cheeks
Archie looked away."Please… follow me…" said Olivia.Archie nodded.Then Olivia started walking, and the Seanfords followed.Archie let out a slight hiss of irritation.Dylan looked at him, still curious.The three walked."Unfortunately here in the Moncher mansion the women's rooms are in a separate building parallel to the men's room building... even the spouses..." Olivia emphasized the last sentence.Dylan didn't question it, as even in Greavaria it was like that.Archie frowned, noticing the emphasis on the last sentence said by Olivia. After all, she had plans to sleep with him that night.Both entered the mansion, coming face to face with the great hall."I will introduce you to the buildings... There are the rooms reserved for our visits, including members of the royalty..." said Olivia as she walked, "after your highnesses have settled, I will direct your personal escorts to yours rooms."Archie remained silent.Both passed the
Dylan serenely ate his dinner.Suddenly Lizha approached the table and placed a small piece of paper on the table.Dylan stopped his meal and looked at the paper on the table.He turned and saw Lizha walk away. Then, he took the paper and turned it over.Ten minutes after dinner, come to my bedchamber. Use the bridge. Archie.Dylan lifted his head and looked at Archie, still holding the paper.Archie was serene still eating.Dylan frowned, trying to understand why Archie had sent him that paper instead of talking to him at that moment.Dylan took the paper and tucked it into one of the sleeves of his dress.He went back to eating while he was all thoughtful.What does he want with me? Does he want to do that? Of course not… I broke the last batch of those he used for it, Dylan thought, bringing a glass of water to his mouth.He probably wants to discuss something about the trip with me... but couldn't he discuss it here? He questioned himself, puttin
