"I probably should tell you this first and foremost, Gianita, that I do not intend to produce heirs by this marriage. The Prince will still be my heir, even though you're the Empress. 

"Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the royal family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?"

"Honey, I'm home~" Sidney came home with a wide smile on his face that day, with a huge bag on his hand. He found his wife in the living room and hugged and kissed her. "So, did you get my text? I told you not to cook?" He nuzzled her hair lovingly. 


She smiled and hugged him back. "Yes, I did," she said. "So why didn't you want me to cook? Did you get tired of my food?" She pouted teasingly. 


"Oh, no, honey. Your food is excellent. It's just...we're going out for dinner tonight." He let go of her and showed her the shopping bag. It contained an black cocktail dress. "So, do you like it?" 


"Love," she said, smiling as he produced the dress. "It is so elegant. Do you want me to wear it tonight?" She stood up and held it to her. "Just don't be too jealous if people stare at me because." She teased him some, smirking up at him.
