Wife and husband- I

 By the time he finally stepped into the house he called home, it was in the middle of the night. His daughter was sleeping and even though he had no heart to wake her up, he knew he was going to steal a kiss on his way to his room. 

The guard at the doors to the house nodded at him as he moved inside. He found when he saw the light of the kitchen turned on and when it did not turn off after a minute.

Usually, someone would be there for a glass of water which would also be provided when they went to bed, the servants made sure of that. Other than that, no one was supposed to be in the kitchen of his wing in the middle of the night. 

So that's where his feet took him next, to the kitchen. One of his hands was on the holster, ready to shoot with his silencer intact only for him to blink and frown, at the sight of his wife.
