"They are threatening us, we should attack your highness." Says commandant Gings, while he points the borders of our empire on the map. "Those asssholes started to robbing nearby villages and terrorizing our fellow citizens by burning their plantations and houses. We have to fight back, your majesty." States the fat man, looking dead in the eyes of the man at the bottom of the table.
"That would be suicidal and deadly for the east regions, they need the money that will be financing your weapons and man's for surviving the next winter. We can't afford to lose their trust, most nobles from the east are complaining, your majesty. If we fight back, their land will be destroyed by the caujanese massively. " the minister of finances argues," The east land are the most fertile of the entire empire and the represent almost forty percent of the revenue. This affrontements would be deadly for our economy, we finally have found peace after seven years of war. We should negotiate with them, your majesty ." He also turns around to look at the man who was playing with the woman on his laps and not focusing one bit about the entire issue.
"Your majesty, what should we do?" Asks the commandant. The king regent takes his eyes away from the lady and lend them on Alexander. A shiver runs down my spine.
"What do you think, dear Alexander? Should we let our man fight against the enemy or be pussiez and find an agreement?" demands the king with a wicked smile glued on his face. I swallow the lump form in my throat.
"As the minister of the finances said, we cannot afford another conflict with the Caujan–"I get immediately interrupted by my uncle.
" Ohhhh, I expected a smarter response from you, how come you are an alpha and a pretty powerful one when you act like the lowest omega bitch. I'm so disappointed and I'm sure your sweet daddy is too, right daddy?" he then turns to look at the corpse of my father, expo right beside him, I directly look down to avoid witnessing the all show he puts on.
" But you know what, dear Alexander? If you think this is a great idea, I will send you all alone on your little horse right to see the Caujanese butches, ain't that a good idea minister Clairemont?" He turns toward the minister and kisses the woman's breasts, making her moan,"You should also go with him, like this we are sure to get it done. And if you fail you know what will happen, don't you?"
He says and puts the woman on the table, takes her robe to her thighs and gets up to take his pants of.
"The meeting is over, everyone gets the fuck out. Not you Alexander, stay for a minute." Everyone one hurries toward the exit and I look up to him. He licks his lips and pushes himself inside the woman, gasping.
"How have you been, my dear nefew. I didn't see you in a while, I think you forgot your place, huh?" He moans, thrusting hard into the woman making the entire table move crazy.
"I'm sorry, I was busy working. I'll see you tonight." I fiddle my fingers under the table as my heartbeats fastens.
"As you should, dear Alexander."

After my desasterous meeting with the ministers and militaries, I gather some courage to face sir Hassan about what happened back then.
In route to his castle I try to keep myself calm to avoid being stressed in front of him, all over again.
I knock on the door of his office and gives his permission to enter the room.
"Good morning your highness." He gets up and bows down before me, it feels weird he doesn't act like that normally.
"Sir Hassan, good morning. Could we perhaps go to the garden, I wish to talk to you about something." I demand, and he nods.

"What is it your highness?" He does not seem to care and looks annoyed for some unknown reasons.
"I need to gather people who can help me. I want secret case to be opened about the member's of the council, the king regent and the main aristocrat to discredit their authorities." I explain and he looks intrigued.
"You finally want to act against them, that is unexpected coming from you. I never thought that you would one day do that. It's great." He smiles.
"I need to act up, for my empire and myself. They are going too far with their unreasonable decisions and it's really affecting the lower class of the citizens." I sigh, "Therefore, I ask for your help. Please, fight along me for a better future."
"If you refuse I wouldn't be surprised but know that I'm not doing this for myself but for you, my people. I already found people willing to help me overthrow our current government, people who have faith in me and I would like to have my dearest friend by my side to help me. " I swallow after finishing my tirade, while he looks at me unimpressed by what I just said.
" Your highness, I married you knowing the consequences of this masquerade. I willingly gave up on my woman for you, I ignored your weird behaviors and the most important I supported everything you ever did. You don't need to ask for my help, I'm already under your orders your highness. " He responds and kneels on the ground.
