Bab 231: Crumbling

Back at Haven Forest

A lot had happened today, but none of it involved their kingdom. It was about the new king of Helion facing an unexpected ambush from King Moler of Nur. Asura's face soured at the thought because King Moler had approached her for dinner last night during the card games.

She was relieved that Kasper had intervened yesterday and won that bet, or else she could have been dragged into this mess. Undoubtedly, the Sorel guild would question anyone who interacted closely with or visited the camps where King Moler had been.

Her eyes landed on the sparkling golden bow and arrow that Kasper had won for today's hunt. He had given it to her as soon as it was handed to him.

"He sure knows how to please a woman with gifts… I wonder…" Her face reddened as her thoughts grew wild. She wondered if Kasper would be good in bed—after all, he was a virgin, but ancient and surely knowledgeable about intimacy despite his years of celibacy.
