The Czar's Apprentice

Chapter Thirteen- Snowflakes

Kylo was sitting at his chair near the fire . A bottle of vodka barely open and glass in his hands.

"We'll have to plan a coronation... should I call your family ? " she asked "get to meet them final" she muttered under her breath.

"My family will not be coming... yours may come if you choose" he said moving the glass in his hands to get the vodka to woosh in the cup.

"You know ... for the new Czar you can't seem to drink one whole glass of vodka ... it's kinda a shame" she said .

"I can hold my liquor just fine thank you... like to see you try " he smirked .

"Very well then" she grabbed his glass and topped it off with vodka , she took a long chug and then put the glass back on the table .

"How in - you're only 19! - What ?" He asked in shock .

"You'd be surprised how much a fun a girl could have without taking her clothes off in Jakku" Rey said with a smirk to him.

"Do I even want to know ?" He exaggerated.

"Let's see... there was this boy who seemed to like me ... he was older for sure and we , him , me and handful of other unmarried teenagers , would sneak out to my father's farm ... someone would bring vodka ... the cheep kind ... and we would just chug the vodka ... sometimes it was rum or whiskey ... we would just be able to forget going hungry ... or watching our fathers slowly die because they had to continue working" she said .

"So I have a wife who could be a barmaid ?" He asked with a slight chuckle .

"That's what you get when you marry someone from Jakku " she laughed back at him.

"Tell me Rey..." he said motioning for her to sit in the chair across from him.

"Yes ?" She asked taking the seat across from him.

"Are you happy ?" He asked.

"Let me ask you something Kylo... are you ?" She raised a brow.

"Never mind then" he said .

She grabbed his hand "you realize that I'm your wife ... you can tell me if something is troubling you"

"Reyhanne " he said "I can make decisions on my own... I am the head of the household and empire "

"And I am the wife ... or the neck and I can turn the head anyway I want ... just watch me" she smirked at her dark haired spouse .

"You think highly of yourself " Kylo stated.

"Well... I am the new empress shouldn't I ?" Rey asked.

"Well you should... " he said .

"Very well" she stood up and walked to their windows and began to pull the curtains back so she could see the lights .

"You know ... when spring rolls around we'll have to leave this place " he said from behind her.

"What ?" She asked .

"We'll go to the palace in Endor ... then at fall we'll go to hoth and be back here in time for winter .... Summer we could stay in Endor or go to the palace in Tattooine" he said .

"When do we leave ?" She asked.

"When the snow begins to melt ... well move to the palace fit better for the spring ... while they get this palace ready for our next stay Rey" he told her , his hand snaking around her waist .

Rey leaned back into his arm and put her hand on the railing . "Is it too cold to go out on the balcony ?"

"It shouldn't be too cold" he said and opened the doors .

She walked out onto the balcony , her slippers meeting the cool iron on the floor and walking to the seat near the edge.

She looked around Naboo , people noticed her and screamed hello to the new empress , shouting of her beauty and her grace.

The wind picked up and the snow began to fall down .

She felt something warm placed on her shoulders , she looked to see it was on of her husband's fine dark furs .

He put his hands on her shoulders and began to slightly rub them as they looked to the city.

"They love you Rey... you will be a fine empress ... perhaps the best empress that Russia has ever had" he said kissing the crown of her head.

Rey put her hand on his and then turned to face him . "You think so ?"

"Know so " he smiled . Rey was smiling and so we he . Suddenly a snowflake got in his eye and he began to curse in different languages.

She chuckled slightly and helped him walk inside their room . He sat down on the bed and she brought his a wash cloth to get the snow out of his eyes .

They were both laughing as he was getting the snow out of his face . "You have snow in your hair" he laughed at her.

"As do you !" She smiled and began to ruffle his black locks , the snow falling around them .

Her hands trailed down his face to swipe the snow away from his cheeks and then he stopped her hands .

Her soft palms were on either side of his face and his hands were atop of hers.

Kylo leaned up and kissed her .
