His Queen

"Husband, why?" Elys asked Aleksander. "I specifically told you that the Farvars are not to be trusted. We already eliminated the Ravinias, the Elnuas have diminished in power. But why Sir Wiriam?"

Aleksander turned from his papers.

His wife was currently perusing records she pulled out from the Royal Archives. She wanted to read more on things that weren't made known to the general public. Aside from the Royal Archives, they were going to visit the Hallowed Chambers next.

Elys wasn't looking directly at him, so Aleksander returned to finish the last of his reading before answering her question.

The young king closed the book with one hand, and then walked towards Elys.

Aleksander inched closer, leaning in to peer at his wife's material from the back. He tilted his head nearer, his breath tickling her exposed nape as he exhaled through his nose.
