"Do not complain, Sef," Maria said sternly when she saw her youngest open his mouth to wind up to his protest. "I promise Baba will not be going anywhere anytime soon. Hurry along and do as I've asked and let him have a moment to set himself in order."
After a few more protests and shot down arguments, the boys left to do as their mother had commanded and Maria needed only to look over her shoulder at her husband as she led the way back to their chambers, stopping only to ask a servant that the bath be filled for him on their way.
"I do hope you can manage with only myself as a bathing attendant," she said in a low voice as they continued on towards their room. "I am disinclined to share you."
