Summary
The servants who worked in the royal palace were trained to handle almost any situation. They could cook, clean, perform, deliver messages, tend to the needs of visiting nobles, and even dispose of the remnants of broken wine jugs as quickly as though they had never been there -- a task that became more frequently required when King Laurent decided to start wearing chitons -- among other things.
However, the servants who worked in the royal palace were not trained to handle this.---
Or, the one in which I solve Damen and Laurent's Heir Dilemma™, as promised on Tumblr.
(Title subject to change.)

“So,” Damen began, lifting the covers and crawling into bed beside Laurent. “What shall we name our son?”
“I was thinking ‘Lucien’,” Laurent said confidently.
Damen propped his head up on his hand and gazed down at his husband. “That sounds awfully Veretian.”
“Yes, that’s the point.”
"How about something more Akielon? Like… Lukas.”
Laurent shrugged. “You may call him Lukas if you wish. I will call him Lucien.”
“That will confuse him.”
“Then he will be confused. I shall call him Lucien.”
Damen sighed exasperatedly and leaned over to press a gentle kiss against Laurent's lips. When he pulled back, Laurent's eyes remained closed.
“My love, are you happy?” Damen asked quietly.
Laurent's eyelashes fluttered, and Damen found himself staring into striking blue eyes. “Yes,” Laurent said simply.
In the darkness, Damen pulled Laurent to him and pressed a kiss into his hair. “Then so am I.”
