Lord Martin tugged my suit coat over my shoulders as he peered over one into the full-length mirror. âI was concerned about the absence of the padded shirt. No one seems to have noticed.â
There was one person who did, but despite the rather intimate relationship Lord Martin and I shared, speaking about Lucille and our private encounters was something I wouldnât do. Instead, I turned sideways, viewing my profile. âItâs a hell of a lot more comfortable.â I turned to face my assistant. âDo you have any advice for the blessing?â
âIâm afraid, sir, youâre sailing into uncharted territoryâat least recently uncharted. The last royal marriage to receive a blessing was King Theodore and Queen Anneâs.â
Tugging on the cuffs of shirt sleeves and exposing the diamond Godfrey cuff links, I looked up. âWhy on earth did they need a blessing?â
Lord Martin clasped his hands behind his back. âIt was before my time. I only know rumors and those arenât for me to spread.â
My night with Lucille had lifted a bit of the burden of the last few days and lightened my spirits. I flashed Lord Martin a smile. âCome on now. Throw me a bone.â
âIâd ratherââ
âIf there are secrets in these stuffy old corridors, as future king, I believe I should be informed.â
âAt the time, I was quite young. The stories have of course been whispered for years, and most likely theyâve grown in scandal and lessened in facts.â
âYouâve piqued my interest.â
Lord Martin lowered his tone to a whisper. âRumors, sir.â
I nodded.
He sighed. âIn his younger days, King Theodore was rumored to have roamed. It would explain why he wasnât upset about the article regarding you and the Borinkian princess.â
âHe was angered,â I replied.
âAs they say, he without sinâ¦cast the first stone.â Lord Martin shrugged. âItâs only a rumor. The world was a different place back then.â He shook his head. âScandals were commonplace and easily ignored or swept under the rug.â
âWhen was this?â
Lord Martin carried a sash with multiple pins and ribbons to me. âIâm not sureâthirty or forty years ago.â
As he secured the sash over my suit coat, I considered the various awards and honors. âI should learn to fly planes.â
âYou know how.â
âI donât. What if one day it was required?â
âIt would be rather difficult to give you, Prince Roman, lessons on a task you already mastered.â
âHades, man, youâve managed everything else. Inquire as to what you can do about that.â
âYes, Your Highness. Iâll move that to the top of my list, after the marriage blessing, summit, and future meetings with heads of state.â
âDid Noah pilot?â
Lord Martinâs expression froze.
âItâs a question,â I justified.
âI advise you to forget his name. And as for your question, not to my knowledge. Your Highness, you have not piloted a plane in over five years.â
âThen thereâs the answer. Iâm rusty. Imagine stories of the Duke and Duchess of Monovia soaring through the air. Romantic, donât you think?â
âDangerous, sir. Thatâs what I think.â
Pushing back my right sleeve, I peered down at my watch. âItâs about time to meet with Cardinal Decoti.
