Autumn Romance

"Sleep well, son. I think that I wil as well." King Albert spoke quietly as he left.

"I am sure that it is nice to eat again. It was a good meal too." Stephanwolfe spoke as he put his napkin on the table.

"Now I need to get some work done. I am heading to my room so I can go over some plans for tomorrow. Since you will be heading my way, may I walk you to your room?"

Stephanwolfe held out his arm to Zari.

"I hope that you received all of your things by now. I have the feeling that mine are waiting for me or at least part of them. I am expected to be well dressed but not as well as the Royal Family.

I will need to act as a proper gentleman so I will get some title tomorrow. I wonder what it would be." he spoke as he lead Zari up the stairs.

"King Albert provides you with your clothes and weaponary. Did you get to talk to William about an uniform?" he asked.

"I am sure that they found some to fit you then. And here is your room......right next to mine. I wonder if that is a good sign or not." Stephanwolfe chuckled lightly.
"Now I must tell you good night so that I can get some work done and you can get aome extra sleep. Have some sweet dreams, Zari."

The castle quieted down and all settled down for a good nights sleep.
The morning came in with another snowstorm to finish blocking all of the doors and the windows on the lower level. Everything is icey cold enough to see one's breathe.

King Albert was already up and in his office as he was used to getting up this early.

Wolfegang decided to stay in bed a bit longer or until the room was warmer.

Stephanwolfe was getting dressed and thinking about class.

Allanna was up and dressed. She was heading downstairs at the moment. Soon she would be in the parlor.

Stephanwolfe heard Zari sneeze and knocked on the wall.

"Zari? Are you ok? I heard you sneeze........" he called out in hope that she would hear her.

"I see. Maybe you are clearing your nose of some dust or something. I'm heading down. Are you ready to go?" Stephanwolfe asked as he checked himself out in the mirror.

"Good. Let's go down together. My first day of actually teaching on my own. I am eager yet a bit nervous too." he spoke as he came out of his room and offered her his arm.
"Is this your new uniform?"

"You look wonderful in it. Please don't get hurt. I'd have to come and heal you with a kiss or two. Should I demonstrate for you?" Stephanwolfe asked with a mischeivious grin.

"No demonstration, my fair lady? How disappointing." he smiled down at Zari.
He lead them to the stairs where he paused to ask
"Do you want a demonstration?"

Stephanwolfe ran his fingers along her cheek gently as he smiled at her. The hand slid into her soft sliky hair anf to the back of Zari's head. Meanwhile the other hand slide around her waist to the small of her back. Stephanwolfe gently pulled Zari forward as he tilted his head to the side until his lips touched hers.

His hand held her head firmly as he kissed her gently and passionatly for a minute before he puled his lips away from her.

"This is how I would revive you with a kiss." he spoke in a husky voice.

"Just call me if you ever need reviving.......But we do need to get to breakfast so we can be at our appointed places at the right time. " Stephanwolfe spoke as he released her then offered his arm.

"Shall we go, milady?"

"me too. Wonder what we shall have......... something quick to eat I hope." Stephanwolfe spoke quietly as he guided her breakfast.

As they entered the staff dining room, a small buffet was sat up and a few servants were eating quickly so that they could resume their duties.

"Food is ready for us, I see and two open seats close to the buffet. Shall we eat?" Stephanwolfe asked.

Stephanwolfe took a mess of scrambbled eggs and milk then went to the table.

Stephanwolfe held Zari's chair for her before sitting down.

"Nice little buffet, don't you think?" he spoke before he began to eat quickly.

Stephanwolfe finished his meal and smiled at Zari.
"I need to go to work, Zari. Let me know when you are working and stuff like that, ok?" he spoke softly as he gathered up his stuff to put away.

Lady Allanna was sitting outside of the classroom door when Stephanwolfe came to the classroom.

"May I help you, Lady Allanna?" he asked.

"I am your student. She answered.

"Oh.... Please come into the classroom and we shall start soon." he replied.
