12 Let's Sleep Together

Alfo helps Lucian in learning as usual. Actually, the old man admired Lucian because his learning ability was so great. He has a high understanding, which is where he can memorize all the noble families and the history of the Rissingshire family.

But Alfo didn't want to admit it, he instead often added tasks for Lucian to keep his mood calm.

Niles placed tea and snacks in front of Lucian.

"Sir Lucian, please enjoy the tea."

"Thank you," said Lucian.

Niles retreated from there, he was in a section not far from Lucian, preparing if needed.

Lucian has his own room, given by Alexandra because he will have responsibilities when married to Alexandra.

Lucian sighed, he picked up the white teacup in front of him, drank the tea to make his muscles and nerves feel more comfortable. The fragrance and taste of the tea managed to make it more comfortable.

He is a mercenary who often spends his time outdoors, standing, and walking to carry out his missions. But here, he sits down more often to study. Only until he understood Alfo's words that he would be like this, and Lucian knew it might take a long time.

Alfo's old eyes always look excited when they want to make him busier.

Tap!

Lucian put down his teacup, he saw Alfo standing in front of him.

"Is there anything, Sir Alfo?" Lucian looked at him with a sweet smile.

Alfo is not used to such a sweet smile, even the most beautiful person in his eyes alone does not smile like this.

"I just want to tell you, if you have to know the imperial side doesn't like Rissingshire, they are afraid of being rivaled and trying to bind Alexandra who has never sworn at any of them. So, most likely they will use you."

Alfo said what he was worried about. If this is Alexandra's choice and for the sake of the offspring, then she must try hard so that Lucian understands her position and is loyal to Alexandra.

"hm... so..." Lucian stared down. Alfo didn't understand what he was thinking. When his index finger touched his left cheek, Lucian looked very charismatic at a glance.

What's the matter? Does he like this guy in front of him?

Alfo shook his head, it must be because of his worry for Rissingshire.

"I will remember it well, Sir Alfo," Lucian said with a big smile on his face.

He looked at Alfo very kindly, paying attention to Alfo's movements.

Drap! Drap!

Drap!

A knight walked in in a hurry, he looked at Alfo, and Lucian. Then ignored Lucian as if he didn't exist.

"Duchess Alexandra Rissingshire has already entered the gate of the mansion."

Hearing that Alfo's face looked very happy, Lucian had stood up from his place. What he didn't expect was that Alfo would wait for him when he walked.

"Usually the Duchess when coming home from a task suddenly like this will put on a bent face, because the emperor's side treats her with dignity."

Alfo who was walking next to Lucian and the knight talked to Lucian without turning his head. Lucian saw the uneasiness on Alfo's face.

"Hopefully it's not so bad that the Duchess changes again."

Alfo sighed, this time he looked at Lucian. Can't believe that she would expect Lucian if the Duchess turned into a dragon again to control the situation for the better.

The moment they arrived at the entrance, the servant opened the door and the knights had prepared in front of him to greet their master.

Aleandra appeared not long after, using a black horse and looked very extraordinary. Lucian saw Alexandra who was bathed in the morning sun. Her silver armor reflected the sunlight. Her hair tied in a ponytail moved right to left quickly, making her appearance seem so strong.

The sound of horse footsteps changed, right in front of the people who greeted him. Alexandra went downstairs and looked at Lucian who had been staring at her since then.

"I'm home, Lucian."

Alexandra made a slight smile on her face, making everything there shocked. A very new habit happened.

They will experience brightness in rissingshire, news of it is already spread. And everyone there believed that the news was true after seeing this.

**

After Alexandra cleaned herself up and dressed up beautifully, this time she was at the same table again as Lucian.

"Lexa, how are you?" Lucia asked first, he saw a little eye bag on Alexandra.

In order to arrive at Rissingshire's main mansion quickly, Alexandra deliberately did not rest overnight on the way. It should be when she gets to Alexandra will be lying on her bed like the knights who followed her just now.

But not with her, she immediately prepared to meet Lucian. She missed her so much, just now he almost jumped up and immediately hugged Lucian when she saw Lucian greet her.

"I'm fine, just a little exhausted." Alexandra took a sip of wine from her glass, her golden eyes kept looking at Lucian.

"What about you? Is Alfo making it difficult for you?"

Alfo who was standing firmly next to Alexandra swallowed his saliva.

"Sie Alfo is a very good teacher." Lucian looked at Alfo and then at Alexandra with his innocent broad smile that resembled a puppy.

"It's good. If he makes a mistake, I will hang him," Alexandra said slowly.

They finished their lunch and they walked out together from the dining room.

"You look tired, Lexa. You have to rest to look refreshed."

Alexandra stopped walking, she noticed Lucian who was looking at her worriedly.

"I have one request." Alexandra lowered her head, she was weighing up from earlier to say it or not.

"What's your request, Lexa?"

"Sleep with me, so that I can rest well."

Alexandra's eyes looked the other way, she couldn't look at Lucian thinly.

Near them Alfo's mouth opened, he was very surprised by what Alexandra said. He almost fainted there.
