Bab 265: Violet: The Trouble With You

"You know what the trouble is with women like you?" Leo began answering a question that Violet had never asked. "You spend all your time worrying about avoiding the things you think are wrong or sinful. You're also so busy judging others' actions that you forget to truly live."

"I see. And what do you suggest I do so that I'm truly living?" she replied. Her tone was one she never thought she'd use with royalty. Yet she was past caring what the insufferable boor of a man thought of her. "Start romping with a stable hand or two in some dark corner?"

"If that's what you want, then yes."

"Well, it's not what I want!" Violet replied hotly. "Firstly, it's a sin, regardless of what you may think. Secondly, it's very different for girls. A man might be able to get away with that sort of incident, but a girl can't. Her reputation would be completely ruined if word got out."
