I blinked and raised an eyebrow "Your northern side of the empire is weird." I told her, even as I flushed at the petting "The only time I'd do something like that would be if my partner made me upset, it sounds like a punishment." I told her shaking my head "But, I'm only supposed to be here until the empress sends all the...well...former virgins back, I'm just a Baron's daughter, I don't think she'll let me marry you, or have your heir or anything, but if you manage to convince her I could be your bride then." I said, thinking there was no way the princess' mother, or father would accept someone as low born as me, sure I was a noble, and my family held a title, but I was a Baron's daughter and most of my home was desert, honestly the only reason my family still had our Barony at all was the fact that we acted as a gateway to desert tribes for trading and mercenary hiring. Either way I could soon safely leave without it being my fault, so no one could get mad at me!
"I mean, that thing about not looking a gift horse in the mouth? Well, how the fuck else are you supposed to figure out if it’s full of Greeks?”
