Catlin pursed her lips, looking away from Ardent. It made him even more suspicious.
"Catlin." Ardent used a stern tone, one he rarely used, and never used against Catlin. Looks like it would change. "Tell me why."
She lowered her head, refusing to look at him. Ardent sighed, before pulling her closer, her face pressed against his chest.
"Catlin, please, tell me why you want me to build a harem so badly." he requested, using a softer tone this.
"I want to support you." Ardent wondered if his hearing had gone off, but he already made sure it is working fine before.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked in a gentle tone, hoping it will coax the answer out of the blonde girl.
"I'm not strong enough." she muttered in a low voice.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked again.
"I'm not strong enough to support you." she continued saying the same thing.
