Lumien fell silent for a few moments as he processed the truth of what he just learned. When he finally recovered, he let out a long sigh. "So I slept with a member of the Sauron family? Is that why she told me to forget everything and pretend we don't know each other? Because I'm just the son of a measly baron?"

"If our difference in status mattered to her, why would she willingly sleep with me in the first place? And even go so far as to drug me with an aphrodisiac?"

"With her looks and status, she could easily find someone far better than me and certainly doesn't lack suitors. So, why…?"

"Why did she choose me, even going so far as to use a drug? What exactly is her objective? What is she trying to gain from me? Was it really, as she claimed, a completely random encounter? Or did she deliberately choose me for a reason?"

Lumien's mind raced as he broke out in a cold sweat.
