Chapter 55: 55. Avery Will Await Ariadne's Decision

And Ariadne answered at once. "Because I'm a woman. I was a queen. Only the king can have more than one woman. But women shouldn't have that many men. And I'm not gonna do a bad thing like that behind your back."

"If you're like that, so am I. I want us both to do the same, to be fair." Avery said.

Ariadne breathed slowly. Her head felt a little dizzy. The girl's face also looked a bit pale.

Then Ariadne chose a wooden chair overlooking the horse square.

Avery didn't know what else to say to Ariadne. The man approached Ariadne and sat next to her.

"I am a queen, Avery. I must be loyal to my husband who is king." Said Ariadne in a voice that sounded desperate.

"Then I'll be just like you. I'll be loyal to my queen."

Ariadne took Avery's eyes very seriously. "Avery, why are you complicating things? What about Alice?"

"Alice? I'll cut her off. I'm gonna turn Alice back into a waitress again. I don't need a concubine, Ariadne."
