Chapter Six

Having tea in a world where time was frozen was peculiar. Even the vapour was locked in the place where it had been generated.

“So, my godson is very handsome, and I have had many requests for his hand, but I swore to his mother that I would let him choose.”

Roxanne smiled and set her teacup back in the saucer. “And yet you tried to engage me to him.”

“That was a ruse. Everything was posed as a question until you finalized your response.”

“A delightful technicality.” Roxanne smiled, and she looked around. “This place is wonderful.”

“You think so? I think it is fading. It is a slow fade, but it is fading.”

The words made Roxanne think of her mother. Slowly fading.

“Oh. What did I say?”

“Nothing. I was just thinking of the side effects of being mortal.” She smiled slightly.

“You are obfuscating.”

“I was thinking about my mother. She is fading quickly, though less quickly now that she is in the care of one of the fey.”

KekoRoma perked up. “A fey healer?”

“A brownie.”

“Oh.” The ruler didn’t seem to know what to do with that.

“He is very nice, and he and my mother are enjoying entertaining each other.”

The queen chuckled. “Ah. That kind of healing. Yes, that can be rather effective.”

“What? Is it an actual thing?”

“Of course. Sexual contact can be extremely good for the immune system. It might not cure her, but it would give her much more time.”

“How much more?”

KekoRoma smiled. “How long can you maintain the brownie?”

“Suulak seems to want to hang around. We have a small farm, so there is always milk and honey for him.”

“Suulak? He is still around? Well, if he is tending to your mother, she is in excellent hands. He also needs far less of the treats than other fey.”

Roxanne needed to know. “Why is that?”

“He gains energy from sex. That is how he has lived to see civilizations rise and fall.”

“Will it hurt my mother?”

“No, he only lives off what he earns... so to speak.” KekoRoma smiled. “You are very lucky to have found him. He has been living in solitude for centuries.”

“Yes, I am wondering where my cousin found him.”

“I guess that there is quite the line of folk who are willing to do the bride a favour.”

“Ah, now that makes sense.”

Roxanne had some more tea, and she looked around.

“So, how many children will you have with him?”

Roxanne’s head snapped back to look at the other woman with the translucent skin. “I hadn’t thought about it.”

“But you will have children.”

“We will if we can. I always wished I had had more siblings, so I am thinking of about four or so.”

The woman smiled. “Excellent. Can I have one?”

Roxanne froze. “What?”

“Oh, don’t look so appalled. I need an heir, and I would like a child that is already bound to me via family. Moriven is my four times great-grandson as well as my godson. A child of his would be a very creditable replacement for me to keep this portion of Underhill functioning.”

“Is the half-blood of a shifter going to be a problem?”

“No.
