Dominic went to shower before breakfast, and casually opened the window to let in some fresh air to the rooms, which hadn't been used in a while. They had been aired out for their arrival, but he liked the fresh air of Wistover, compared to the slightly polluted and stuffy air of the Capital.
But with the window open, his sensitive hearing could pick up the gossip of the servants below the room walking around the garden to get to their morning tasks.
"Did you hear about Duke Wavemates? The head maid came in to try to give the Princess a message, and he growled at her. Like fangs and everything, full draconic growl," one of the maids was whispering.
"I heard that he grows wings when he's sleeping," the other agreed.
"That's just silly, why would he grow wings? No, wait. Could it be that he gets all feral dragon protecting the Princess while she's pregnant? That's so hot. I need me a man like that."
