Aleksander woke up to his wife sleeping next to him on her side. He reached his hand over and brushed the hair out of her face. "Good morning my love. Sleep well?"
She hummed as a response. Her hum vibrated against him, it made him feel all giddy. Only she can do that.
"We must get up. We have breakfast with your family this morning."
"I can't get up." She whined. "My back hurts and my feet are killing me."

Aleksander carried her to the Grand Palace then set her down in the steps. "Ready my love?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." She didn't like facing her family. The only one she could stand was her half brother Nikolai.

Aleksander made an 'ehem' noise. "Hello Nikolai."
"Hello. Nice to see you again General Kirigan." Nick shook his hand firmly. Visily didn't want to look bad to the General so he got up and walked to him to shake his hand as well.
