Phedre nodded."I shall look out for it my lord. Though..."She paused tilting her head as she walked out to the courtyard with him, unsure if she should say it, but surely he knew he was dealing with? "from all my watching him, Lord Valerian does nothing in any hurry, unless it suits him."She said before nodding."Okay. I will see to the duck and dinner."She said smiling at him as he left looking bemused. Wondering if he was indeed testing her to see if she would run. Now that, would make sense. Sighing softly as she started to cook.

Valerian frowned slightly as he took a sip of his wine, tilting his head slightly. A twisting catching his heart as he watched her drink. "Of course I would, but I find that at least giving a show of being polite to my wife when I'm asking her to step aside, would be the smart and prudent thing to do."He said anger flairing through his eyes, anger that was fed by his pain at having to set her aside. But eh was to much of a emperor, to let his empire fall because he had no son of his own. He'd seen what happened to kingdoms left without a heir, they'd torn themselves apart. And as much as he loved astrid, and he did love her, he loved rome more. Standing he walked around the table, kneeling at her side. She was one of the few people, that had ever managed to put him on his knees. Taking her hand in his he pressed a kiss to her palm.
"No matter how pretty, charming, or strong she is, my lady, she will never be you."He muttered against her skin, pressing another kiss to her palm, anger at her words as he looked at her. pissed that she'd even consider that he would banish her, that he would forget who she was, he'd only been 25 when he'd met the 20 year old astrid, and drunk on the victory of wining germany back for his empire, drunk and in love at first sight. "Even if you do decline my lady, I will never be truly rid of you."he muttered looking up at her before standing, clearing his throat as he stepped back. For once, seeming awkward and out put, once again the 25 year old who'd had no idea how to talk to women after a lifetime in the miltary.She'd taught him manners, had taught him everything he'd needed to rule when he'd suddenly found himself emperor. "I should go."he said moving towards the door.
