082:- A Housekeeper's Tasks

Alessio returned to his room outwardly calmer but still troubled internally. It was strange, having something that affected him that he could do nothing about.

His mother was right about the issues of the Royal House of Asten having nothing to do with him, but it affected him nonetheless.

He stopped in front of his door and stared at Silvan's door, a crease etched between his brows. The reminder that his mother was waiting on him to have dinner together spurred him forward.

Alessio was silent for most of dinner, thinking hard about what he could do to make things a little better.

His mother, the Queen just watched him with a gentle smile, she had shut the door in her husband's face for this. He would have her all to himself after dinner, he could be a little patient. And perhaps, interfering a little bit wasn't all so bad.
