Chapter Six

Breakfast was delivered to her room, and Gyrion sat up and stretched lazily. Unfortunately for her equilibrium, she had taken the sheet with her. Gyrion was very pretty in the morning light, and Amylia really had to stop staring at his crotch.

“Do all women of your world have fire for hair?” Gyrion wasn’t shy at all. He stretched again and then got to his feet.

“Uh, no. It is a recessive gene.”

His own hair was a cape of dark silk down his back. How had she not noticed that he had such long hair?

Just as she was thinking the question, he reached up and started to braid the hair with practiced moves.

He sat at the table and smiled at the man who brought it in. “Thank you, Dorren.”

The man bowed his head quickly. “You are most welcome, Consort.”

She wrapped the sheet around herself and shuffled to the table, sniffing curiously.

Gyrion poured the tea and set a plate for her. “Dorren has to wait until you taste the meal, my Queen.”

She reached for a piece of fruit and smiled as it exploded on her tongue. As soon as she could, she mumbled, “Thank you, Dorren.”

The man beamed, nodded his head again and left.

“So, why did he have to see me eat?”

“To make sure that you are in good health. If the queen is ill, the healers are called. It is the morning protocol that all provinces uphold.” He took a piece of fruit and popped it in his mouth. “Well, it is the protocol if they have a queen.”

She continued to eat, and she asked a question that had been nagging at her. “Why aren’t there any kids?”

“What?”

“Children.”

“Oh, our females don’t breed until they have a queen to protect them. It is how I knew that my dalliances were not true candidates. If they had been potential queens, the ladies in their circle would have begun to have children.”

Amylia took her teacup and sipped. “How does that work?”

“The women need to feel safe. Everything else follows.”

“Don’t their mates make them feel safe?”

He frowned. “It is a different thing. It is the feeling that they have one of their own to turn to if anything goes wrong. Oh, you will be expected to attend all births in your province.”

She winced. “I guess I will have to study up. I have only delivered one baby, and that was at Janial. We didn’t have a chance to get her to the med wing. She was a multiple murderer.” She sipped at her tea. “The baby was cute, though. Little bugger bit me.”

He shook his head. “You are one surprise after another. Good. Our infants don’t bite, but they can scratch.”

She ate in silence for a while before she raised her brows. “You really think that this will happen? Will the women trust me?”

Gyrion grinned wide. “After your display yesterday and your ability to defend your poor, helpless consort, I think you are well on your way.”

She wrinkled her nose. “I was sore and cranky, plus I didn’t want her touching my sheets.
