Ambrose, after a rather long journey, to where he had been gone for well over a year was finally returning home to Crete. Ambrose smiled as his ship reached the shore and he was the first to step off of the gangplank and touch the land of his home. He took in a deep breath of the sea air . He smiled again as he and his caravan made their way to the palace. There had been many things transpire on Ambrose's journey that he was probably not going to tell his wife, after all, it probably not fair well for him. After a short ride he arrived at the palace and entered the Throne Hall and called for his wife and daughter. " Alerya, Ella! " He cried, " I have returned! " He yelled.

Alerya looked up from the parchment letter in her hands as a servant stepped in the room. She was told that the king's ship had reached shore, and he along with the men he had traveled with were on their way up to the palace. Alerya stood and walked down a dark hall way, and up a flight of stairs as servants and people ran around her, making ready for their kings arrival. She stepped into her private bed chamber that face the ocean, walking across the dark room she stood in the shadows, looking over her balcony wall.
Down below she could see the shore, Ambrose's ship and the line of men returning home. Women ran from homes to meet their loved ones. She, however, boiled as she picked Ambrose out in the crowd. She had been faithful to him, her husband the past year he had been away, and yet, she knew he had done differently. Letting her know just how important she was to him. A soft voice behind her called her name, she turned around to see one of her advisors, Isander, in the door, his long brunette hair sweeping the tops of his shoulders, his blue eyes as bright as the ocean as he spoke that Ambrose was entering the palace. Alerya nodded and looked down, knowing things would be complicated for them, seeing as he was not just another advisor to her.
Ambrose's voice rang through the palace as he called for his wife and daughter. Alerya closed her eyes as she heard Ella squeal and run to her father. She sent Isander away as she waited, wondering just what Ambrose would have to say to her. He had no idea that she had spies sent to watch him.

Ambrose saw his daughter and he knelt down to pick her up. He held her for a moment as she had grown quiet a lot since he had last seen her. He kissed her cheek and smiled, saying a few words to her as she was talking properly now as she was almost five years old by now. He smiled as he asked where mommy was and she pointed to where Alerya's chambers were and Ambrose made his way there. In a moment he was standing in the doorway, holding his daughter and smiling. " Hello beautiful. " He said with a smile as his daughter giggled as he set her down and she clung to his leg as he opened his arms awaiting his embrace from his wife.

Isander kissed Alerya's cheek quickly, then left the room with haste. Within a few moments she heard Ambrose walking up the stairs, talking softly. He stepped into her room, holding Ella, judging by her giggling. Alerya put on a smile and turned around, hoping she looked convincing. "Ambrose." She smiled softly, pushing back the malice she wanted to unleash on him, but not with their daughter in the room. He opened his arms for her, and she knew she would have to hug him. She swept across the room smoothly, without a sounds and hugged Ambrose briefly before pulling back. Ella reached up to her mother, begging to be held. Alerya smiled and picked her daughter up in her arms.

He smiled as he returned Alerya's hug, not really thinking to much on the fact that she had only embraced him for a moment even though he had not seen her for over a year. He smiled at them both. " Well, my ladies. How have you been? " He asked with a smile as he leaned against the door frame and waited for them to answer. He had not heard much from them on his journeys, after all it was rather hard for anyone to relay messages back and forth. Abraham looked at Alerya and she looked gorgeous as a great desire swept over him but he would save that for tonight, after all he didn't want Ella to be around.

Alerya shifter Ella higher up on her hip, noting that with Ella's weight, she would not be able to carry her around much longer. So much had happened in the past year, that it would be hard to sum it all up for Ambrose. She knew his advisors would be able to update him the next time they spoke. Isander had agreed to stay on as an advisor and keep their affair secret still. Alerya tossed her head to the side softly, throwing a piece of hair back that was hanging in her eyes. "The kingdom has done well. Without the help of your advisors, things would not have gone so well. The people have missed their king though." Alerya smiled. She noticed Ambrose's eyes as they skimmed over her. She had lost all of the chubbiness that had been left from having Ella while he was away, not that she was over weight before he left; she was just more toned now, more muscle on her. And he seemed to notice.

He nodded contently whenever she spoke that his kingdom was fairing well. This of course was always good to hear. " Well, i was able to obtain alliances with a few of the kingdoms that i visited, but there were some very hard leaders to persuade. " He said with a shake of his head. " Especially the female rulers. They can be quiet stubborn. " He said with a smile as his eyes went over again. She looked perfect, just like the day he married her. His insane lust for her was building with every moment, the thought of the other women in the back of his head now. He ran his hand through his hair gently, his muscles all moving considering all he was wearing was a loin cloth, like most Greek men..

Alerya smiled softly as Ambrose spoke. Ella curled her fingers in her mother's hair, laying her head on her shoulder as she looked at her father. Alerya noticed that she was not the only one to gain muscle in the year that Ambrose had been absent as he flexed, moving to run his fingers through his curling hair. She shifted her weight to her other foot as people scurried about in the halls, preparing a feast for the king's homecoming.

Ambrose smiled as he looked over his wife once again. " Well ladies. I believe that it is almost time for supper. " He said with a smile as Ella clapped with her still little hands. " I am hungrwee daddy. " He said, as she was still slurring a few words and Ambrose smiled and gestured for her to hop down. She did and Ambrose took her hand and Alerya's other hand in his own and led them to the dinning hall. Everything was already set and people cheered as he walked into the hall and Ambrose smiled and bowed politely before taking his seat at the head with Alerya and Ella on each side of him as they began to eat as Ambrose placed a hand under the table and ran it up Alerya's leg gently, but not to high.

Alerya walked into the hall and took her seat at the head of the table, beside Ambrose as the feast started. She felt Ambrose's hand on her leg, and was slightly disgusted, how he was trying to cover his flings with other women, still wanting her obviously, like she was nothing more then furniture. Though she was almost as guilty as he was. She moved his hand from her leg, sending a soft smile his way, hinting at saving the energy for a later time. Conversation picked up as the feast carried on into the night. Alerya looked up as a fresh bowl of olives was set in front of her. She bit her bottom lip, craving the olives, her hand reached out and took a few, relishing in the bitter salty taste. She looked up again, talking with one of Ambrose's men to her side, laughing softly as her eyes caught Isander's for a brief moment. She looked back at her plate a moment, reaching for the bread. Her stomach churned at that moment, something odd. She excused herself from the table a moment, kissing Ambrose's cheek before she stood. She laughed as a few of the men around the room made a bit of fun at her kiss, she laughed and stepped out onto the balcony a moment.
The cool air from the ocean made her feel better. Her stomach flew to her feet, realizing that her stomach wasn't sick. Alerya gasped, her hand flying to her stomach as she knew that she was with child. That was why her stomach was churning at the moment. She would have to tell Isander, and then make Ambrose think it was his. This wasn't going to be easy. She took a few more deep breaths of the cool air, trying to calm herself.

Ambrose was not sure why is wife had to suddenly get up and leave the table, but he figured that she was either preparing something or wasn't feeling well. He figured that he would go ahead and check on her in a moment. He continued to eat and spoke with Ella a little about what she was doing. After a good half hour, Ambrose rose to his feet and excused himself and went to fight Alerya. He walked to her chambers and saw her standing on the balcony. He walked to the door the led out the balcony and stood there watching her, his eyes still obsessed with her. " Is everything ok Alerya? " He asked in a soft loving tone.

Alerya jumped, she had herd him coming, but she had expected Isander. She turned around quickly to face Ambrose with a smile. "Yes. I was just feeling a bit faint." She only half lied. She was feeling faint now. She would have to get to Isander, alone and tell him, sleep with her husband and try to convince him that the child was his, when it wasn't. Alerya wondered if it would just be easier to take Ella and go to her mother's for a long while. Or if it would be easier to leave, when Ambrose least expected it, taking Isander and Ella with her. So many questions rolled around in her head as she kept her expressions calm and even on her face.

He nodded as he walked over to her, placing his hands gently on her waist as he kissed her cheek gently once, before kissing her lips once gently as well. " Well perhaps it is because of all the excitement. " He said with a smile. " After all, i have been away for over a year and i have craved you like none other. " He said with a smile as he backed her up against the railing his hands still on her waist as he kissed her once again , his hands beginning to rise to her stomach slowly as he was beginning to be taken over with his lust for her once again. He could not hide that fact at all as his eyes danced over her body.

It maddened her, that Ambrose put his hands on her, like she was nothing more then the other sleepers he had slept with while he was away. Though she knew that she would have to enjoy his touches again. She kissed him back. She had missed him, which only made it hurt more when she found out that her worst fear had come true, he was with other women. Her arms wrapped around him as she could practically feel the lust radiating off of him.

Ambrose smiled at her kiss as this of course only drove him to kiss her once again as his hands began to roam once again as hers wrapped around him. It was good to be in her arms again. Ambrose may have been with a few other women on his journey but there was none that could rival the way his wife would make him feel and the things that she could do. He kissed her once again as one hand ran up her stomach, over her chest and into her hair as he began to play with her hair gently, curling it in his finger as he played, leaning in to kiss her once again, holding the kiss for more than a moment showing his lust and passion for her. .
