Mummy or Uncle Nic?

Aleksis was about to change clothes because her body felt sticky from the wine spilled by the mean girl, but then she changed her mind when she heard Lauriel say that 'Nicolae is still single'.

Instantly, her mind was filled with mischief and she wanted to give lessons to the annoying girls who had thought she was a servant. Aleksis knew clearly that the girls were all after Nicolae and she wanted to show them that they all first had to get past her and get her approval if they wanted to approach the heir of the Medici family.

She swiftly walked across the garden and climbed the stage. She then headed towards Nicolae, who still was carrying her children. Smiling broadly, she waved to the guests present.

"As Uncle Lauriel's goddaughter, I am always here if you want fast access to be his future daughter-in-law," Aleksis said playfully, winking at Lauriel and ignoring Nicolae who seemed even more annoyed by what she said.
