Chapter 107: Playing foul

After making a couple of friends, the ball doesn't feel so tedious anymore. However, when it ends, all my energy abandons me as soon as I sit on the bed.

Oh, goodness! I should have changed out of the gown before sitting here. Now I don't want to get up!

«I'd just sleep three days straight,» I mutter.

«Three days is a bit too much, wife. But you can sleep in tomorrow. What do you think about getting up at midday?»

«Can I really do that?» I ask, hopeful.

«Of course,» Alexander shrugs.

Oh, being a duchess is so wonderful!

I smile happily to my Duke, and I ponder whether to ask him help for getting out of my clothes.

Before I have time to make a decision, though, Alexander sits by my side, and his hand reaches the buttons of the dress.

«Need help?» he inquires while starting to unbutton them one at a time.

So much of asking.

«I do,» I nod, and I let him undo all the buttons for me.
