Another week passed just like that.
During the whole time, I didn't go anywhere. No adventures, no weird alien encounters, no business meetings. I simply stayed in the palace and spent time with my family.
Honestly, it wasn't bad.
Most of my mornings were pretty relaxed. I would wake up, eat breakfast with everyone, and then deal with whatever small matters popped up around the palace. Nothing too serious. A few servants asking for approval on things, some minor logistics, and occasionally someone needing my opinion on something.
Royal life in a nutshell.
But the person I spent the most time with that week was Xander.
The kid had way too much energy.
"Again! Again!" he shouted while running ahead of me through one of the palace corridors.
"You just ran five laps," I said.
"Six!" he corrected.
"Right. Six. My mistake."
Meanwhile, Rona was strapped to my chest in a small carrier, quietly watching everything like she owned the place.
