Suck Me Dry
“The butler? Did he say something inappropriate to you?”
“No,” I clear my throat, shaking my head. “I was just a bit uncomfortable with all the attention. You know… He called me ‘Royal Highness’, and refused to call me anything else.”
He scrunches up his face, but leans back, wanting to answer me properly. “It’s simple protocol. Don’t feel bad about it. Try to enjoy it. The next time he meets you, he will address you as ‘His Grace’ and the next time you will already be down to ‘Sir’. Don’t worry. He just doesn’t want to lose his head. As soon as you have reached the Sir stage safely, you can order him to call you whatever you want him to call you.”
