Tillian walked through the long corridor of the second floor in the direction of his study. Just like he promised Aideen, he managed to return earlier but he still had to make sure all his tasks were in order before delegating them to Stanis.
As he pushed the door to his study open and walked inside, he instantly halted, his eyes widening at the sight before him –– Khala, absolutely naked, lying on the leather couch in the middle of the room.
Shocked and confused at first, the Duke had no idea what to do until finally he managed to get back to his senses, pulled his long black cloak off his shoulders, threw it on top of the naked woman, and asked in an angry voice,
"What is the meaning of this?! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
With a cunning grin gracing her lips, Khala removed the cloak from her body, her voice almost singing as she replied,
"What do you think I'm doing, Tillian? Or should I do more to finally make you understand?"
