Chapter 74

“Eric!”

“What?”

“Follow my lead!”

Eric obeyed, but he was obviously doing it only because Benjamin told him to. “Now what?”

“Hush!”

Persephone cleared her throat loudly, and Benjamin quickly glanced down toward the floor. “Benjamin.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Persephone snorted. “So polite. Haven’t you been calling me an old hag behind my back? Sometimes even right to my face.”

Eric snickered, and Benjamin had to poke at his boyfriend’s stomach to silence him before he smiled at Persephone. “Once in a while, Your Majesty, but it’s like a term of endearment. Really.”

Persephone scoffed. “Maybe for you.”

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

Persephone was quiet for a moment before she got up from the throne and slowly approached Iwan. “I see you’ve finally been reunited with all of the people from your past.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”
