"My pleasure," he replied. After spending time on a ship for weeks at a time all he wanted to do was spend some time alone on land. He figured she might want to do the same.

True to his word Lucian came back during midday to see his guest. Now they could discuss business a little bit.

Arianna is now in a less modest outfit, and she lounges in a sitting room for him with two full glasses of wine. "My prince," she said. "Lys does agree with me. This wine is outstanding."

Lucian was happy to see she was enjoying herself. "Good. Very good." He took a seat and a cup of wine in hand. "You look much brighter and refreshed." He took a drink, feeling in a good mood.

"I am," she said. "Now, then, you look all serious. I assume this is the political part of our little visit?"

"Serious? Maybe. I'm in a good mood." He felt like giving her some grand gifts, but she probably had everything she wanted already. "But we do need to talk business at some point. Whenever you want really."

"It's fine," she said. "Every grand visit has purpose. Do please summarize yours, my prince." She leans forward with her chin in her hands and her elbows on her knees.

"I need a wife," Lucian said, "What do you need?" He had auditioned several women already. It was an amusing process.

"Gold and allies for my family," she said. "The gold is for me," she winked.

"You haven't seen the statue I have made of myself, my wife could have her's next to mine. Made of gold or whatever."
"So, I have gold and I am able to be an ally. Does this make me suitable?"

Arianna chuckles "Sounds perfect, my prince. May I call you Lucian?"

"Then that's settled. I like it when business finishes smoothly." He lounged in his seat, put his feet up, and closed his eyes.
"Yes you may call me Lucian."

"Good. Spouses shouldn't need private formalities." She walks over and kisses him.

He opens his eyes, a bit surprised at her forwardness. "Well yes I agree. I suppose that was to...seal the deal?"

"It was," she confirmed. "Patience has never been a particular virtue of mine, my prince," she says.

"As long as you don't do that for every man you make an agreement with."
"In any case, we can celebrate tonight and inform your family. Second, you need some new dresses fashioned since I do things different here. In private and at court you can wear what you like however. You noticed some children upon your arrival, they are rescued orphans as well as children of families that serve Lys in many ways. I am the Father, and now they have a Mother. They sorely needed one in my opinion." He studied her expression. "Is that all too much to absorb?"
