"Not everything, just some." she interjected before allowing him to continue. Charms were simple, but temporary ways to store magic. The shielding charm took over three weeks to make her conception charm it took over a month and a half. The nice thing was once the receptacle for the charm was created and the spell put in place she was able to renew it with half as much effort.   It was much easier than casting a spell every single time she wanted to protects someone, or even sleep with them.<br/><br/>Her options were somewhat limited it seemed, her first idea would be to take on the role of adviser. It would allow her to stay by his side but it limited the amount of time they could spend together. Staying out of sight was out of the question as eventually someone would see her visiting his chambers every night. That left only the third and final option, she would have to allow herself to be declared his mistress as despite the harm it would cause her reputation.<br/><br/>She gazed at him for several moments searching his face to make sure he was being truthful. “The only logical option would be to become your mistress I expect. I’m going to have to have access to your chambers and the further I am away from them the more likely someone will catch me sneaking around.”  The last thing she needed was to deal with dissidents among his people if rumors began to circulate about their Warlord having an affair with his adviser.<br/><br/>When he spoke of her outfit she looked somewhat shocked “Too many cloths? Really?” she stated in disbelief and gazed down at her dress. “I can remove it with a single clasp. What are your mistress’s expected to wear? You do live in the middle of the mountains after all.” even in fur lined silk she’d been able to feel the bite of the cool air on her skin.  It was uncomfortable this time of year, she could only imagine how bad it was in the winter.
