Shane overcame his complicated emotions quicker than Hope expected. She heard the man's calm voice the other day asking her about her plans for the future and why she asked Max to do what he did.
Hope calmly explained, "What's the first thing one needs to build a good empire?"
"A good king or leader? Loyal subjects? Satisfied commoners?" Shane listed out what he could remember.
"That's right." Hope smiled widely as she scrubbed her body. "So we're going to attack the heart of a good empire. Once the empire is struck down, it will be destroyed on its own. Don't you think?"
Shane was silent for a moment. He didn't think a girl so beautiful would think so sinisterly. He sighed. What a terrible beauty!
The fact that she could devise such a method without changing her expression is beyond his expectations. He sighed.
"Whatever you say."
"I do have a surprise for you. So get ready."
What else can he get besides seeing a girl's naked body every day? What was better than that?
