Aelin was lying in bed staring at the ceiling. It was 6 weeks since she last saw her husband Rowan. He was gone to hunt down some rouge Demi-fea that where using there gifts for bad. She got up and got ready. When she was ready she went downstairs to start the preparations of Dorian's court coming to her palace. She was expecting it to be weird they haven't seen each other in two years and when Dorian was 30 years old She didn't look a day pass 25. She was fea, she was immortal her friends where not. She got used to the idea that they would grow old and die while she, Rowan and Aedion wouldn't age. And every time she saw her friends she was reminded by there. Still she was excited It was two years since she last seen Dorian.
Aelin was in the council chamber with Aedion when she heard the trumpets blow signalling the arrival of the king of Ardalan and his court. She made her way to the balcony to see Dorian on his horse with his daughter Ashon. Ashon was 7 years old everybody thought that she was just the kings bastard Daughter that he took in and raised. She was his heir tough.
When Dorian stood in front of her and bowed Aelin laughed " what no hugs for a friend ". Dorian walked up to Aelin and rapped his arms around her she leaned her head against his shoulder and smelled him. " you smell different Dorian, using different body lotions ?" The king of Adarlan smiled "does it have the approval of her royal highness."
Behind them Aedion coughed causing Aelin and Dorian to let go if each other " hello Aedion i see you look just as good as Aelin" Aedion laughed " don't tell her that. it will make her head bigger then it already is."
Aelin snorted " well no good standing in the hall like this come in and introduce us to your daughter. "
"So where is your husband Aelin "
" Rowan's of hunting rouge fea"
She looked at Ashon who was at the right of her father. " Dorian do you not care to tell us about your daughter ?"
Dorian smiled at the mention of his daughter and heir. " what is it Aelin you would like to know ?"
" does Ashon know what she is ?" " I will tell her before she changes "
"Well" Aelin answered then you must do it before her first bleeding " Dorian coughed on his bread and Aedion blushed she laughed " does talking about womanly bleeding make you uncomfortable ?"
" you enjoy my embarrassment my cousin?"
There was a smile on the queens face when she answered " you're easier to embarrass then Rowan." Aedion snorted "I think your the only person in the world who can embarrass Rowan."
Dorian, Aelin and Aedion talked till the evening. Intill they all went to there beds.
