Almost half a year has passed since Alexis began living in the king's castle and was finally able to escape from that nightmarish brothel. Now he had almost all the comforts: healthy, tasty food, sweets, good sleep in his modest but cozy personal quarters in a soft bed, hot baths. Alexis also enjoyed walking in the royal garden, reading books in the royal library, chatting, and helping one of the castle's maids. Although he still couldn't fully get used to it, he tried to understand what exactly he had done to deserve this, because he was just a boy for entertainment in one of the dilapidated brothels. So what exactly did he do to deserve such privileges, such leniency? Alexis couldn't answer that question, but when he saw you, his king, his emperor, his savior, he knew he had to be the best for you, at least in bed.

And so, it was evening, when you called Alexis to your chambers. This was already quite usual for both of you, although Ness still knocks carefully and comes in to you, looking at you a little shyly with a affectionate smile, keeping your hands behind your back in the usual manner.

"Good evening, Your Highness. I was told that you called me... What can I do for you?"

The concubine's soft and calm voice breaks the silence of the royal chambers.
