Alvah's Fun Day

Lambert

I normally don't wake up this early, but for some reason I just couldn't go back to sleep. I smiled to myself as I walked the hallways of the palace my hands shoved in my pocket. I mindlessly turn the corner to go to the dining hall, 'I hope food is ready.' Entering the dining hall there was no sign of a living person, all chairs was empty. I sighed and sat down at my usual place and leaned back in my chair, waiting.

A good five minutes have pass, and I surprised myself for sitting still for so long, and so far not a single soul has entered the room. Feeling a little anxious I decided to get up and walk around the palace some more. Before I got up from my seat, I saw a maid enter the dining hall she glanced upward and her eyes widen at my presence.

"Oh!" she yelped and I had to smile at her reaction. "Good morning, Prince Alvah." She bowed in greeting, and I felt my smile widen even more. "Yes, good morning." The maid rose from her bow, I took this time to look at her. Her face was slightly worn but still youthful, I must have seen her just a few times in the palace. She is not like those old maids that I have seen since I was a kid.

The room became pleasantly quiet, the woman still had a smile on her face and my cheeks were starting to burn from my wide smile. Then I saw the maid eyes go from me then to the table, then me again.

"Oh, I'm sorry, there is no food on the table," she bowed again.

"Oh, no, it's not a big deal. I'm up to early anyway." I laughed and waved aside her apology.

"I will notify someone right now." Before I could say anything else she rushed out of the room. I sighed once again and decided just to sit and wait.

I sulked in my chair as I decided what to do, I waiting too long already, but I would hate for the maid to return with food, and I was not here. Luckily I didn't have to choose, the maid returned and presented me with a warm plate. The smell of the salty meaty bacon filled my nose and I sat up faster then what I should have and grabbed the closest utensil and dug in. In the most princely way possible of course. As I ate, various plates of piled fruit, bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, and other sweet breads were placed on the table.

"Anxious as ever Master Alvah," I looked up and saw Ivan with his classic smile on his face.

I opened my mouth, and thought for a minute then swallowed all the food that I had stuffed in my mouth.

"Hey Ivan good morning" I looked at him.

"Good morning to you as well Master Alvah. Aren't we up early?" He inquired.

"Yeah, I couldn't go back to sleep, so I thought I go ahead and wake up." I shrugged at Ivan who smiled at me and wished me a good day and I did the same.

As I was about finishing up my breakfast I heard the taps of footsteps and looked at the entrance to see one and only blonde workaholic older brother. He silently pulled out a chair across from me and he sat down with a sigh. "Morning," I gave him a cheeky grin.

"Yes, good morning," he replied his voice low and mature.

Always so formal, I thought, but as I looked closer at him it looked like that it wasn't such a good morning. Lamberts eyes looked a little haggard slightly swollen and red, another long night it seems. I put down my utensil as I observed him more closely. Since a plate was already in place Lambert started piling foods of mostly fruit and grain cereal.

"Aren't you up a little early," he mumbled.

"I could say the same for you," I retorted playfully. Lambert gave a short chuckle as he touched his hair like he normally does.

"I'm always up this early."

"Well, maybe you should sleep in sometimes give yourself a break." I teased him as he started eating his food.

"The kingdom wont collapse without you," I said with my voice was more concerning.

He looked up at me and gave me one of those rare smiles, "thank you for your concern, but I will be ok." He replied softly.

It seemed like the discussion was over so I just sighed to myself and finished my meal.

When I finished eating I waited for Lambert to finish, today I want to try and get Lambert to relax. So as Lambert finished up he got up from his chair, I mimicked his movements. Lambert coolly walked toward the entrance, and with Lambert being on the other side of the table I kept in step with him until I intentionally stopped him in his tracks.

A flash of irritation crossed his face "Alvah,"

"I want to take you somewhere,"

"Can it wait, I have important business—"

"You always say that," I playfully rolled my eyes as I grabbed his wrist and pulled to my idea destination. Although I didn't get far as Lambert used his whole body to stop me from pulling him.

"Alvah, I will not go along with your game."

I pouted and gave him my best puppy look, "you won't regret it, promise." Lambert stared at me for a while and finally gave him.

"It is unbefitting for a prince to pout," he said playfully pulling his arm from mine.

"You love me," I said as he followed me to one of my favorite places.

When we arrived at my destination, we were greeted with tall white doors with some flower décor. I looked back at Lambert who gave me a perplexed look, "Are you ready?" Lambert sighed as indicated with his hand for me to open the door.

The room was slightly foggy with steam, but once it quickly disappeared, in front of us were young attractive women who greeted us simultaneously.

"Hello," I smiled at them. Lambert who was next to me was slightly stunned and took a step back, before he could go any further I grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing?" I whispered.

"I can't do this today Alvah," he pulled his arm away.

"But—"I watch him reach the door, but before I could stop him some of the young women went up to Lambert.

"Prince Lambert you must be so exhausted from all your work, come and relax." One woman pulled at his arm, while another pulled off his cape and started massaging his shoulders. Another woman brought a tray of small food and fed him some grapes. Without Lambert being unable to talk, and surrounded by beautiful woman he let the women pull him to where they wanted him to be.

Feeling slightly jealous as Lambert received all the attention a few of the women that were standing by approached me. "Shall we get started," One of them said and I eagerly nodded.

Minutes and a body soak later Lambert and I was completely nude as we sat in a large bath tub with scented petals as the women massaged our shoulders and head. One of the young women hand fed us any fruit we requested despite having breakfast not too long ago. I heard soft groans from the other side and I opened one eye to look at Lambert. More women was on his side as they pampered him, one woman held Lamberts head in her lap and she gently stroked his brow as the others massaged every inch of his upper body. Some of the women were talking softly and complimenting him, and Lambert could do nothing else but grin. Feeling too relaxed to say anything I close my eyes again.

When we finished up with the baths we were placed on massaging tables, most of the women left but there was at least two for each of us, one that was massaging our backs. I turned my head over to Lambert who was also facing me, but his eyes were closed. "How does it feel?" I mumbled.

"Amazing," he slurred. I wanted to laugh but I found that I was too relaxed to even make a sound. Then I heard Lambert groan, I opened one eye to look at him he sounded slightly frustrated.

"I have to go back to work," he used his elbows to prop himself up and yawned.

"Work can wait, come on you deserve this." I tried to reason with him. Lambert shook his head at my words. Thankfully the one that was massaging Lambert started massaging his shoulders and somehow forced Lambert down again. "Fine, a few more minutes," Lambert closed his eyes and I smiled at the woman in thanks.

"I can't fall asleep," I heard him say after a while.

"That's ok, sleep is good," the one who was massaging Lambert whispered.

"Yes it is," Mine whispered as well. I felt my whole body shiver at her words and I repeated them in my head. 'Sleep is good,' I could slowly feel myself falling in the comforting darkness, as I kept repeating these words. 'Yes it is,' I replied in my mind and I stopped thinking as a blanket of sleep and dreams washed over me.

I was unaware about how much time had passed I opened my bleary eyes and blinked until I could see clearly. I turned over and saw the steady breaths of Lambert as he continued to sleep, the sheet that was covering his lower half was still in place. He was using his arms as a pillow as he slept soundly. I had to admire Lambert, he wasn't really the athletic type but I could see his toned muscular arms and back. I smiled gently to myself and decided to go someplace where I was needed. I turned completely on my side and made sure that the sheet still covering me and looked up to see the women coming in just in time. 'I wonder if they were watching as we slept.' I shook my head and quietly asked for my clothes, and when they brought them they left so that I could get dressed.

"Shall we wake prince Lambert?" One of them asked. I looked over at Lamberts sleeping form.

"No, let him sleep. Bring me his clothes please."

One of the ladies disappeared and brought his clothes to me.

"If I may ask, Prince, what are you going to do with the clothes?"

I gave her a mischievous smile and winked at her, "just giving him another excuse to stay away from his work." Light airy giggles erupted from the room and I silently chuckled to myself, I thanked the women and went on my merry way.
