26⁰ Tavern part 3

《Winter Kingdom 》

Cassian

I rolled my eyes and went into the bedroom, quickly showered first, and finally decided to put on some more discreet clothes. I was already fixing my hair - I wasn't going to wear a crown - when the door opened. It was simply a head that had been placed inside the room.

-Whew! It's ready now.

- Hello," I said, leaving the room and closing the door.

-Let's go this way, it will be more discreet, no one will see us.

I followed him along the path he had chosen, leaving through the back of the castle.

- It even looks like we're about to commit a very serious crime.

-Not on my part, but on yours.

-Why on my part? -I asked, walking toward the stable.

-Because you are a married man, going to the tavern with the most women, where all the men go to seek pleasure that their wives are not capable of providing.

-I will not seek pleasure from any woman other than my own.

-I know you don't love her. -- he said, looking at me.

We got on our horses and headed for the tavern.
