章 98: Chapter 98

Lord Balrus was inside his chambers with a new paramour of his own, a dashing knight who he locked eyes with outside the gardens a week ago. The knight was twenty-six years of age while Lord Balrus was sixty and two. Thirty-seven years his senior, Aurora thought Lord Balrus should be ashamed for such acts. She even claimed "You are being a whore to him and he's taking advantage of you" 

"Taking advantage? Your Grace I'm the master of spies, I have rodents whispering in my ears even when I go to sleep. I know him well enough and he's been queer ever since he can remember" 

Aurora still refused to accept it "I want you to be happy. Can't you find someone old enough whom you can spend the rest of your life with?" 

"That may work for you, and for other abled men of the kingdom but it doesn't apply to me. I'm an eunuch, Your Grace… perhaps if you would give me one dragon, then I may be able to fly" At the end Lord Balrus made a joke. "Five eggs, is it?"
