Chapter 0295
Nodding at Nicholas, I moved past him and returned to his rooms. He released me at once and fell in step behind
me instead.
Inside his rooms, I moved toward Lilliana, who was down on one of the ornate rugs. Her legs were kicked out of her,
her nightgown drawn up to her hips. She peered up with a sultry look, likely expecting Nicholas.
She sighed when she saw it was me, but didn’t move much otherwise.
“I should have known he’d invite you too. Well, it’s all the same, really. I can do a three some if that’s what he
wants. What do I care anymore?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Uh, no,” I said at once, taken aback both by the sudden and inappropriate offer, as well as her resignation to it.
This had to be the worst seduction in the history of wolf-kind.
She clearly wasn’t into any of this. Was this what she thought she had to do to maintain Nichola s’s interest?
Surrender her body without passion or desire for the sake of a crown?
My anger slowly dimmed and I felt pity instead.
What a sad life, to never be able to live for herself. To sacrifice so much for power alone. Did she even like Nicholas
at all? Did she find him as se xy as I did? Did she gravitate toward his generous, caring heart like me?
It sure didn’t seem like it. Instead, it seemed like she wanted this to be over as fast as possible so she could sleep.
To me, it seemed the drunkenness had been a necessity for her, to do what needed done.
How… tragic.
“Lilliana… Is this even what you really want?” I asked.
Lilliana shrugged, then stretched out more fully on the rug. “What I want doesn’t matter. I will do anything to please
my prince.”
Nicholas, meanwhile, was nearby but facing the wall, not looking at Lilliana at all.
To Nicholas, I said, “Can you get a bathrobe? Something soft and fluffy?”
He moved at once, rushing into the bathroom.
To Lilliana, I said, “You can’t be very comfortable on the floor? Perhaps you’d like to return to your own room, your
own bed, and get some sleep? It’s late.”
“I am sleepy…” Lilliana yawned. She tried not to. “But I came here for a reason. I have to…” Another yawn, larger
than the first. “I have to…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhatever she was going to say, she didn’t finish it. I didn’t press, not wanting her to remember why she came here.
Nicholas returned with a white fuzzy bathrobe, exactly what I had been hoping for.

I accepted the robe from him, and with effort, was able to convince Lilliana to pull it on.
“Aren’t you cold?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said.
It took longer still to convince her to stand off the ground.
“The prince might trip over you and hurt himself,” I said.
