Glossary: soverenyi - sovereign,

For the next couple of weeks, it was sort of easy except when I had to let Baghra watch Kira so I could attend Aleksander's meetings with him. Ivan was there but not many knew now that I was his 2nd in command, which ranked me above Ivan. Some people noticed me and I just relaxed while listening until one of the Grisha spoke up.

"Moi soverenyi, why is your wife at the meeting?" The Grisha soldier asked, before Aleksander could say anything or even I could say anything Ivan was the one to speak up. "Moya Soverenyi, goes everywhere with our General." Ivan said but that was necessarily true. Aleksander seemed to wait before they calmed down. "Amira, may be my wife but she is also my 2nd in command here at the little palace. In the event I don't take her with me when we go check on the first army to make sure our Grisha soldiers are safe. She will remain to lead our 2nd army soldiers." Aleksander said

I knew we were able to get close thanks to everything but his plan for the throne was still unknown to me. After so long, I got up from where I was and headed for the door as Ivan spoke up. "The meeting isn't over." Ivan said as I looked back at him with an uninterested look. "I have a daughter to feed, I don't need you reminding me what needs to be done." I said as I left before Aleksander could say anything.

I was moody, in some ways especially since I had suspicions Aleksander was doing things behind my back. I was being paranoid but there was a history with Zoya, so I had suspicions. When I made it to Baghra's hut and walked in going down seeing the two I was calm. Baghra and Kira were the two people I was most calm around, well besides my friends. Baghra seemed to enjoy being a grandmother as she walked over with her and handed her to me.

"Was she well behaved?" I asked as I took her and was ready to take her to feed her. "She has been, I adore her and everything you are doing to put my son in his path of redemption." Baghra said as I had my doubts. "Don't doubt Amira, he's loyal to you. When he put that ring on your hand, it was his symbol of loyalty." I looked at my hand knowing she was right there was a lot that had happened. "Everything has just happened so fast. I was hidden for almost ten years from him, we got together and got married less than a year of knowing each other." I said

Baghra knew what I was talking about, but I knew his truth which was more than I should know. I knew he was eternal like I am but that was where it ended. We were always going to be learning about each other and now we were raising a daughter. "He's talking about another baby already, he still wants the throne." I said as Baghra sighed. "I suppose he might have a good point with achieving the throne, if he ruled Ravka you'd have your freedom and no one would question you with his protection."

Baghra's words surprised me but then I knew aiming for the throne was better than going after the amplifiers and the fold. The fold could still be used as a weapon with just the two of us, I was powerful enough to be his equal without another amplifier. I adjusted Kira in my arm then put a hand on my collar bone where the stag bones lied when I absorbed them into my body, the piece of the stag in his hand made it where I could be more connected to him. He could try to call my power but would he risk me if he did.

"You're thinking about the stag." Baghra said as I looked at her knowing there was no denying it. I still felt like I should have done something back then. "I know it was made to be an amplifier but I still have some sadness about it." I said as I sighed. "Are they supposed to be together?" I asked Baghra, Baghra considered my question for a minute "Possibly, but doesn't mean the same person has to have them. Why?" Baghra asked

"When Kira is old enough, I want to go back for the Sea Whip. I want her to have it, but I don't want it." I said as Baghra looked at Kira in my arms as she was clapping her hands together. I figured she was too young to even show power yet but as we stood there in the hut shadows went over us and then a flash of sunlight mixed with the shadows.

Baghra was shocked seeing the power "Another Dual Summoner, one of Shadow and Sun." Baghra said I was just speechless knowing I wasn't going to have her tested till she was three. Then I thought about how she was from two powerful bloodlines, so it showed that both were residing in her blood but then she got the Dual part from me as I was a Dual Summoner.

"I would keep this secret from others, but Aleksander should be told." Baghra said as I adjusted Kira which made it fade away. "Duly noted Baghra, I'll make sure to tell him after his meeting." I said as I walked away with Kira. I knew a lot was going on in my head at that moment knowing our daughter was very strong. She had Shadows like him but she had Sun like me so I wondered what that would mean.

When we got to the war room I fed her then had her just relax while I thought over how to tell him everything. I heard the door open when he walked in and when I turned he walked over putting his hands on my shoulder and kissing me. I kissed him back even though we hadn't been apart long but it almost felt like we were always missing each other when we were apart. He looked over and saw Kira was asleep for now.

"How was your talk with my mother?" Aleksander asked as he went over to the table the map was on and looked over it. I walked over to see he hadn't removed the first army general's picture and took it away. Aleksander looked at me as I rolled it up and tossed it aside "He's not a problem anymore, you're not excused still for killing west ravkans." I reminded him as I sighed "I had a good conversation with Baghra....and Kira showed her powers." I said

He was messing with something on his map when he dropped it and turned his full attention to me. "She did what?" Aleksander asked as I sighed, "When she wakes up you'll see." I said as he went and set his plans into motion. Kira woke up sometime later and I went over picking her up. Aleksander sat down on his bed and I walked over with her in my arms. "Can you show daddy what you can do? Like you did with Mommy and Grandma." I said to Kira knowing she might not understand. I saw her start laughing and clapping her hands together as it happened again, she didn't know how to control it but he saw it too.

"Shadow and Sun, how unique." Aleksander asked as he smirked a bit, I think he knew that we were all going to be eternal. "I still think we should consider her a brother. Growing up an only child myself a-" I cut him off knowing he wasn't the only one who was growing up an Only child. "I was too." I reminded him as he nodded "Yes, you and I both did. She doesn't have to." Aleksander said as he carefully took Kira from me as he kissed her forehead. "Shadows like your father and Sun like your mother." Aleksander said as he seemed to enjoy the thought.

What are you thinking Aleksander? I thought
