For a greedy harem lord, he sees desire not as a fleeting spark but as an endless flame, consuming all in its path. For Petne, standing ready than before to take the niece after her aunt and mother, it is not merely about indulgence but the mastery of a delicate balance—where boundaries blur, and possession becomes an art.
To him, conquest is not just physical but spiritual, a statement that all desires can coexist, provided they are wielded with intent and unrelenting resolve.
Patience is the virtue of a true lord, and Petne embodied this with the precision of a master strategist.
Petne's approach to desire had always been measured, rooted in an understanding of timing and connection, a lesson he had learnt from his past with Lilim and Catherine.
That's why he hadn't rushed to take Anat, even when her love for him was undeniable. She had openly declared herself ready to be his woman, her devotion written in every glance and word.
