Ch 154: Curious Mind

"How early did you wake up?" She randomly asked me.

"I was up super early before sunrise. I had to go to training. Normally, training is done by noon. Unless I get held up by giving extra hours to some boy or I am scoring strength points for the boys moving up in their training course." I clarified.

"A woman named Cora had notified me about some of that." As I kinda nodded, she asked, "why didn't you wake me?"

"Why would I wake you?" I asked her oddly. "I wake up too early so you might as well rest."

"I'm not used to getting this much rest. None of my masters ever let me sleep long. I had to be up and working." Sally told which made me feel aggravated.

"You're not a slave anymore as I said you're going to be my wife. Therefore you are free to access almost anything you want and you may choose what you wish to do under my consent."

"Almost?" She seemed to question.

"Yes, I will still have my say for safety reasons but you aren't considered my slave." I tried explaining.

She kinda nods once. "So who designed this Mansion?" She asked changing the subject.

"For the most part, I did design it once I picked the location. I had my construction men build it. I used it to try mind linking with Beast. I figured out his one cave den was around this general area." I answered her curious question.

"So did your dad design and decorate that other mansion we left from?" Her interested mind asked me.

"Yes, my dad picked the location and designed it but my mother was the one who decorated the inside and part of the courtyard," I responded and then took another sip of my drink.

She sorta nods and asked."What's going to happen to that mansion since you had it evacuated?"

"Whatever my dad decides," I said. "Since that mansion belongs to him and my mother. He'll have to say if it's still deemed as unsafe or not."

"So if that happens here then you get to make that call?" She asked.

"Yup. If anything happens in this place you and I get to decide since this is our place." Saying this to her made her face glow and blush.

"I must say I do like the way this mansion is built compared to the one your parents' owned." She cutely confessed.

I chuckled at her. "I must agree with you on that one. This is one of my favorite places to live. While we are living here for the time being. You have every right to say you own this mansion too. But I will only say there will be rooms you do not have access to. Which it's just because only my men and I are aloud inside."

"If this place is considered partly mine. Why am I not allowed within the locked doors?" She mockingly asked me with a giggle.

So I Joked. "Oh, you know that's where my men and I keep our hidden mistresses."

I couldn't help but laugh to see her eyes shoot fire at me. I'll admit to myself, that mildly harassing her was fun.

But Sally glared daggers at me. "If you have hidden mistresses then you certainly don't need to marry me!" She hissed extremely mad.

But I could only laugh at how humorous her reaction was towards me. She was most definitely jealous.

"Sally, relax I am joking." I firstly declared. "In our Kingdom, every man including Royal men is forbidden to have mistresses any more."

"Anymore!" She hissed.

I chuckled and carefully clarified. "Yes, our past Primary Queens which are now honorable ranked as our Elder Queens changed rules by getting favoritism by their husbands. This is why **** and mistresses are forbidden to us. You'll soon see the boys here are raised differently. And for the record even if I could have a mistress I'd ever do that to you. Nor would I marry more than one woman. You are the only one for me Sally."

She huffed inquiring, "so why are the doors locked for me to access them?"

"The real reason why there locked from you. Is because they are private rooms for meetings. During a meeting session, we are sorting information that you do not need to know." I told her truthfully but I left out the part it might be an interrogation room. Where my men and I brutally interrogate people.

But Sally doesn't need to know any of this even if she figures it out one day. Most of the women around here put up a blind eye as to what their husbands, brothers, fathers, sons, male cousins, or uncles do behind closed doors. Most Kingdom men from any Kingdom hardly ever speak about the dark deeds any military-men do.

At least the women in this Kingdom can know their husbands don't **** other women and stay loyal to their wives. But I can't say that's how it goes for other Kingdoms. Truth be told it's not any different in our Society. Hybrid women are viewed as breeders and still enslaved by us. However, there is a difference between a Kingdom man's wife or wives over his mistresses. Typically, the wives might be treated slightly better and the mistresses are around for his extra pleasure. But there was no way I'd tell Sally any of this. She'd run for sure if she only knew how barbaric and selfish most Kingdom and Baron Kind are. She wouldn't be able to comprehend that's what it's like in other Kingdoms and Baron clans. She wouldn't hear, that it isn't how we run this Kingdom.

I faded these thoughts, and I looked over at her and saw her steaming in annoyance. While she proceeded to sip her drink.

"Now why are you being so irritated with me?" I playfully asked her trying to cheer up her sour mood towards me."

"I didn't find it funny," she snipped.

I signed and implored. "I'm sorry. Your right it wasn't that funny." I saw her irritated expression gradually dissipating. "Will you please forgive me?"

Now I had her as I saw her curve up a fighting smile. "Yes, I forgive you."
