53. Request A Concubine

Alice furrowed her brow. "That thing?"

"Yes. What if you become a concubine? You'll have an official relationship with Avery. You can also represent me to provide an heir for Avery. How? If you want, I'll take you as a mistress to Avery."

"Me? You want to make me a mistress for your own husband, princess?" Asked Alice in utter disbelief. Why is Ariadne so kind to her? Is it because Ariadne doesn't love Avery?

Ariadne nodded. "Yes. That way your relationship with Avery will be perfectly safe and less negative. Maybe no one's noticed you close by now. But the servants are all around us. Many eyes many ears, Alice."

"But.. But I can't do that, princess. I can't. I can't. To do that, you must first qualify as a Queen. I can't." Said Alice, shaking her head again and again. She even sat on the floor. Kneel before Ariadne so she does not offer her a way.

"First condition? If I had my first condition, would I have taken you as a concubine for Avery?"
