Chapter 292: Salet Part 5

“Would you protest if I merely demonstrated a fight sequence, the key word being demonstrated, with another female of course? It is an old tradition that I have always enjoyed, and has nothing to do with Teo, I assure you.”

Before he opened his mouth again she stated, “It would make good entertainment and I need to release some energy too. You know I can look after myself—I duped your guards didn’t I?”

The utter nerve of what she just stated forced him to silence and he glared at her.

To her surprise he stated, “I will think about it. For now, drop the subject. I think you need more wine.”

Leah needed to placate him, and nodded politely.

She realized she was probably the first human to sample this Trimadian traditional drink. Unfortunately, from the first taste, she became unvaryingly addicted. She was totally unaware of this and apart from the initial shock to her palate the end result was delicious and warmed her body like an internal woollen blanket on a cool night.
