Julia leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued as she raised an eyebrow at Julian and asked, "So, who exactly are these mature women on your target list?"
Her tone was teasing yet serious, as she crossed her arms and regarded him with a mix of intrigue and amusement, clearly wanting to know if he had anyone specific in mind, while Isabel listened intently, her interest growing in the unexpected direction of their conversation.
Julian chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he leaned back slightly and said,
"You wouldn't want to know; you might be too shocked!"
Julian grinned as he watched the shock wash over Julia and Isabel's faces, his teasing words hanging in the air like a spell.
"Duchess of Hans, Duchess of Norish, Duchess of Ethwer, and even the Queen of the Ares Kingdom," he declared with a playful tone, enjoying the way their expressions morphed from surprise to disbelief.
