She is sure that they'll execute her immediately but, somehow, she survives the meeting with the Emperor, and she finds herself... Married? Tossed in a new world without connections and allies, she has to either accept her fate or lose the chance to help her people once again. She soon finds out that her new husband knows more about her than she does herself, and that his purposes are often far from what she expects.

No one will dare to consider your words a lie: if you say that you were painting souls, then it's the truth.» «I will remember it.» «No, you have to understand it, Theodora. You're not a prisoner, but my wife. I'll protect you when you need it, and I'll help you with any issue you have. You're not just a Duchess in the name.

Competing for a job (2)

I've just finished showing all my enterprises and ideas for the future.

Alexander listens with attention, reading every single number I point at. Even if it must be boring, he doesn't snort or lose focus.

He seems pleased about the outcomes of my businesses, but he doesn't dare to just open his mouth and praise me. He knows something must be going on, and his patience is so heart-warming.

Now that the money is already on the table, I can spend some time talking about non-quantifiable and more abstract kinds of richnesses and values.

«And, finally,» I sigh. «I have a lot of skills you already know of.»

«Are you competing for a job?» he inquires.

«More or less.» I shrug. Competing isn't the right word, as there aren't other candidates. And it's not even clear what job I'm trying to catch.

I mean, I wouldn't need all this talking to convince Alexander to employ me in the administration or as an advisor.
