The first time that his majesty asks for my presence comes completely unexpected.
I thought that the title of counsellor of the crown was just for appearances, but it seems I'll have to work for real.
Ah, I'm becoming lazy at the side of my spoiling husband. It will do me good if I find a job for a while. Pregnancy is a months-long waiting, so I might as well do something to fill these last weeks.
This time, I wasn't invited to the royal office. His majesty is waiting for me in one of the tea rooms of the imperial suite.
There's a chance I stumble upon the Dowager Empress, but she won't attack me just because. Right?
I'm still waiting for Alexander's letter. He promised one every week, but the first one hasn't arrived yet.
He will hear me out when he comes back. He said he would write, but then he must have forgotten due to work. He must be busy.
