She was a bunch of lies

"I will wait for you then since I am sure that I would not find any other woman who could hold my interest." she nodded but then a strange thought came to her mind.

Since she could not be with her as Olivia, would it not be better if she could be with him as Oliver till then.

"Then what if you would fall for a man? After all, you are sharing your room with a bent one these days?" she had a teasing smile on her face but his eyes turned colder instantly.

"I'm just protecting my men." he said indifferently that made her wonder how long and far would he go for a brat that has robbed him so many times.

Why did he even care about Oli?

If anyone would have been they would have already left her when the envoys of neighboring countries ask for her. 

However, he was different. He kept taking the responsibility of the whole empire on his shoulders. Such unquestionable values, together with his perfect face, made him flawless.
