Chapter 126: 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.
"Get your annoying nose out of my neck," Elys waved his face away, to which Aleksander only chuckled in amusement. "And I asked you a question, King Aleksander. Doesn’t your Queen deserve an answer?"
"Sir Wiriam and his family is without a doubt," he paused as he tried to find the right word to describe the vampire nobilities, "dangerous. But I had an epiphany after you told me of your plan last night."
"My plan?" Elys turned a bit, but then returned to flip another page of the records in her hands. "Go on, I am listening."
"Yes, your plan, my queen. Were you not the one who said we must keep our enemies closer than our friends?"
This time around, Aleksander caught her full attention. Elys turned to fully face him, closing the book and tucking it under her arm.
