"Rody. Can I ask you something?" Nicole suddenly asked while sharing a private moment with Rody in the room.
Rody gently stroked Nicole's hair as he smelled it. "What is it?" Rody felt relaxed at the moment. He was in the study room of the Duke's mansion. Nobody would enter this place without permission. That was why Rody felt at ease as he held his lover and asked, "What do you wish to ask?"
Nicole's hair was scattered and messy as Rody fiddled with it, causing her face to itch. She whispered, "You are getting bolder…" She looked at the flames in Rody's eyes, and she blushed. She then said, "I have something to ask."
Rody sighed and embraced Nicole. He gave a wry smile and said, "Well, just ask."
Nicole looked a bit dejected and said, "Actually, from the start until now, I still could not figure it out. Everything had happened so suddenly, forcing us to take this path. Rody, do you think that it was right or wrong of us to support the Empress?"
"What’s wrong?" Rody laughed.
1. I got the term 'manther' from Urban Dictionary but Microsoft Word told me that this word doesn't exist. A manther is an old man that prefers significantly younger women. As these women are not children, it should not be mistaken as a pedophile.
