A Binding Link “Will there be a Queen of Sanc?” She surprised him and herself. She had had no intention of asking such a question, knowing he made no secret of his wish to remain single. He had married and from all accounts it had been a love match. A strong woman. A soldier. Even she could see most of the women at the gathering were far from suited to him. Those who had selected them needed to look more into his history and seriously contemplate what it took to attract his attention. “Don’t pander to them.” That too was a surprise. Before she had entered this barn she had been certain they must be enemies. The weight of the past had lain between them, a gulf she was certain they could never cross and there was Relena. Neither wished to hurt her, daughter and sister, a binding link between them. He had given her much to think on and she would need time to contemplate all he had said. Not a few hours or even a few days. He had had years of thinking to reach the place he had spoken from. She found she could not hate him as she had been sure she must. He had given her too much, unasked. Absolution. He was beautiful, there was no denying that. So much better looking than Stephan, and that mane of hair… the envy of every female. Beautiful, but nothing was feminine about him, nothing suggested he was homosexual. She knew he was, in fact, bisexual. His sexuality was his concern, or would have been had he been anyone other than King. Stephan had never bemoaned the lack of privacy so public a position had demanded. She knew it had been a source of tension between him and his younger Queen and such fire she had possessed. Fire reflected in this son of two very strong-willed and caring people. What would he have been like had events taken a different turn? What would he have become if he had grown in a different world, one where Sanc had not fallen in bloody ruin? She suspected he would have been a force to be reckoned with. There was nothing soft about him, strength radiated from him, a stoic stubborn pride to do the right thing. It was ingrained into the Peacecrafts to serve, blood and bone. “This is a constitutional monarchy. Parliament runs Sanc.” “You have a real chance to grasp a level of power no King has claimed for over four hundred years and you are halfway there. They would expect a tame King to parade before the masses.” “One has endeavoured to clean out the crumbs from one’s cupboards, Lady Alice, before the debris putrefies and pollutes the whole.” She smiled. He smiled back and after a moment offered his arm. “Shall we retire for the night?” “You don’t sleep much, do you?” “No, but I think tonight, I will.” End
