Nikolai spent hours with his friends while playing with Viktoria and the girls. Soon after the twins woke up, Alexei and Vernan ended up becoming makeshift ponies for Dhalia and Elizabeth, while Viktoria sat on Nikolai's shoulders.
He almost couldn't believe how tiring it could be, comparing an hour of playtime with his daughters to the constant battles inside hell. When the bell chimed for dinner, Nikita and Leona arrived and scolded Nikolai and the boys for playing such violent games.
Despite his attempts to explain, it was the girls who wanted to play war games. Not his brothers.
But she was having none of it.
Afterwards, Nikita took the babies to bed and warned him that he shouldn't come to her room at a ridiculous time tonight.
So he enjoyed some time with Vernan, Alexei and Ryan back in the main mansion study, enjoying some real blood wine.
Creak!
