Larkin didn't know what elicited her reaction, but he seemed to be hearing good news. His brows lifted before huffing with a proud smile. He didn't need to say that he would be; he was the type who would jump right at it instead of saying so first. Now that Artie had given him a cue, then he could only prepare his mind.
He must never be swayed by anything that would derail him from his goals. The archduke of the plains was the most powerful, and this angel was more of an upgrade rather than a new player. Kings and princes could only fear him for this power he would wield… and envy him for having such a lovely wife.
Perhaps he was indeed correct to say that he was already content with Artie. In fact, he probably wouldn't swap her with anyone else. Who cared about the most beautiful or the youngest? Artie Shen would be the last and one true wife of his.
