Chapter 71: A prince seeking counsel.

"You are her husband, with all due respect your highness." Sir Alex interrupted. "Some decisions you should make not as a prince or the owner of this estate but the husband of Lady Sigrid Thorin. You are new to marriage and you have not tangled much with women so you are unfamiliar with how romantic relationships work."

"Oh!" Roland responded with a stony look on his face.

The knights stepped back, an angry Roland was a dangerous Roland, they guessed that maybe Sir Alex’s words had touched a nerve which displeased him, after all it sounded like criticism to some ears, and nobody criticized royalty.

Even though the relationship between the men that served Roland and him was not as frigid as it was for most royals and their servants, they still had to be careful and watch their words and actions.

Sir Samuel, the leader of the knights gave Sir Alex a sharp glare through the peripherals of his eyes.

"Forgive me your highness, I fear that my words have displeased you." Sir Alex bowed submissively.

Roland threw his head back and laughed, then waved his hand dismissively. "Who says that I am displeased? I am simply surprised by your wisdom on the matter. Tell me Alex, are you married?"

Sir Alex nodded twice, "Three years and half, your highness. I have just the one wife and two daughters, I want to start working on a son but my wife says that unless I am willing to carry it personally, I should wait three years."

The men guffawed but Sir Alex looked proud, there was not a hint of shame on his wife. The other knights also knew that Alex liked to pamper his wife, wherever they went to he bought her a lot of things and talked about her every chance he got.
