“This place is a bit crowded.” Lady Seeired waved her hand in front of her face. “Perhaps, we can speak sowhere more private?”
“She’s taking away? What a cradle robber!”
“You’ve already been married. Give us a chance.”
They had been quiet and respectful at first, only making comnts intermittently, but the more Lady Seeired and I spoke, the less patient and the bolder they beca. Lady Seeired appeared to have particularly thick skin, as all of those words seed to roll off of her. Yet, as they grew louder, a single steely gaze was enough to quiet them down.
“Lord Deekson, are you okay which such an old woman?” One of the girls grew the courage to say.
I gave a smile. “I very much like older won. The average age of the won I bed is over 40!”
That was technically true, but only because a few outliers like Terra caused that number to swell rapidly. Most of the girls were truly in their late teens or twenties, like . My words had silenced the young ladies, who could only stare at with their mouths open. Even Lady Seeired seed a bit taken aback. I wasn’t trying to co onto her though.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to for the genuine story.
I had no interest in Lady Seeired, and I understood that her interest in was only about politics. The main reason I had co to this country was that there were things that I wanted, and the reason they had accepted my arrival was that there were things they wanted. Lady Seeired offered sothing I didn’t feel I was getting from Marina, and that was the capacity to get aningful things done. They were perfectly willing to wow with gestures of kindness and generosity, but I was starting to realize it was all just a trick.
They wanted to put my guard down so they could take advantage. Even these daughters being thrown at was rely an attempt to lure into this false sense of complacency. To these old foxes, a daughter cost barely anything, and the advantage of binding themselves to was priceless. Rather than eting at the negotiation table, they’d rather I partied and succumbed to pleasure. Then, they would have their claws on , and I’d have no choice but to work for them.
Such a thing might have worked on in the past. However, I had been with so many won this last year, and all of them were beauties. Such an obvious honey trap wouldn’t thrill anymore, and I was steadily becoming better and reading and understanding people’s true intentions. I wasn’t sure if that ca with the lore I had absorbed from all of those dungeons, or just my personal developnt as I matured into adulthood.
Lady Seeired chuckled at my words, recovering a bit quicker than the others. “Since Lord Deekson has shown interest, how can a lady say no?”
She gave her arm, and I took it. She led away from all of the batch of girls, who could only stare on in indignancy and confusion.
