Chapter 238: Easily recognised (2)

«I'm not even sure we can agree on how this all looks,» Alexander chuckles.

The woman in front of me, the prostitute who has trained the servants sent to Ethiro, stares at him with wide eyes. She covers her mouth with her hands, wondering what kind of trouble she pushed me in.

«It's very, very simple, actually,» I start, blinking in the most innocent way I can. «This woman once worked in the Palace.»

«And what use did you have of a prostitute?» he continues. «I didn't think you were that kind of woman! If I knew I had to protect you for women as well... I thought that keeping men far was enough, but with my wife's charm... It's not enough!» He shakes his head, displeased about his own plan of action.

«It's not like that,» I repeat. What does he have in his head, in the place where the brain should be, pork ribs? What made him think that I was the one using the services...

«Then, how is it?» he asks, crossing his arms and waiting for an answer.
