Mono nervously got up and leaned close to Joseph, whispering,
"Ah, my esteemed Highness, you're my best friend! You absolutely must not let this slip to anyone..."
In truth, finding a lover these days wasn't considered scandalous, and some "progressive" noble couples even introduced lovers to each other.
But Count Mono had an unusual preference for thrill-seeking in this regard—his chosen mistresses were of the highest risk level.
Take, for instance, Countess Mesayer. She was her husband's beloved, and whenever some imprudent noble tried to court her, Mesayer had been known to break their arms.
Then, there was the Marquis Saint Priest's wife, who had just dashed out moments ago. The Marquis had a strong controlling nature and forbade any man from approaching her. Her first lover was framed by Saint Priest for fabricated charges and sent to the Caribbean Sea to toil.
Yet somehow, both ladies had fallen prey to the audacious and reckless Mono.
