One of the six men who surrounded Emytheus rubbed his back, seeing their leader's voice grow hoarse to this extent from laughter would make anyone worry. They almost thought he had lost his mind.
[What, did you expect me to sweep in and stop their army for you? I mean, I guess I could have done that. By then your Clan's secrets would have been safe. But I'm a gentleman, how could I sentence so many beautiful women to death at once?]
[You care about women other than me now?]
[Hoho, how arrogant little miss Aritzia. I said I would take you for my wife, but I never said you would be the only wife. Though, I will give you the position of first wife because you are the loveliest.]
[…] Aritzia didn't answer. There was nothing left to say. She had hoped that Emytheus would step in during the final moments and close off the hopes of her enemies, but she knew from the beginning that Emytheus' goals wouldn't perfectly align with hers.
