§ Mireia sprang to a sitting position in the bed, clutching her covers to her chest with her eyes wide, then immediately grew baffled as she saw who was sitting on the edge of her bed. “My Lady?” I tipped my head and smiled. “Yes?” “What are you doing here?” With a giggle, I noted, “It’s my bedroom, you know.” …

I’ll be posting one chapter a week, on Mondays, for the rest of March, meaning I’ll be unlocking one chapter per week as well. Hoping to go back to two per week in April. § If a juicy steak, seared to perfection and at a doneness perfectly to your preference appears in front of you and asks you to partake …

My issues continue and I might again have to skip Friday’s chapter. I’ll post a new chapter and unlock the next if I am able to, but you’ve been warned. Again. § We had no honeymoon because of the taboo against celebrations before the one hundredth day after a parent’s death. Instead, my husband and I worked as Viceroy and …

§ Thanks to the situation, we ended up with Mireia sleeping between us, which I suppose wasn’t right from the standpoint of which two out of the three of us were the newlyweds, but the dynamic had been Mireia and myself alternating with Mireia and Rod, so the intersection of two sets, Mireia, naturally wound up in the middle.

They were all looking at each other rather than back at me, except the cat-kin girl, who seemed ready to burst out in laughter. Oh, so it’s funny? He may not be my real brother, but he’s …

This is an author’s note, not a chapter, so it isn’t locked. For those who don’t remember much about roman numerals from school (as I doubt it ever helped you in any way other than trying to puzzle out the copyright date of a movie) ‘D’ is the roman numeral for 500. The real Chapter 500 will post immediately following …

§ Big Brother Rod tried to barge into my bedroom soon after I woke, but Big Sister and a female royal knight kept him in the adjoining salon.
