Bab 54: "What if we make love?"

"Why? Why aren't you going home with me?" Christopher asked, tearfully. He was disappointed that he would still be apart from his mother. He still couldn't understand what her main goal was.

Meanwhile, Mila's face could not be painted anymore because of how she folded her face in a grimace. She actually wanted to frankly respond to Christopher's inquiry with honesty, but tried to hold it in.

"You will most likely face dangerous situations. I don't plan to get involved. And you need to focus more on your goal of becoming the next king. Treating me like your mother again would raise more death flags for me. I need to find a way to survive, so you better go back to Esclamado alone."
