"You were Ian's mistress? When?" I questioned Lola aggressively, scaring her to the point she took a step back.
"Lady Annie, please forgive me." Lola lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me. Her voice trembled as she said, "This is something that happened many years ago. When Prince Ian bestowed me to Colonel Bohr, our relationship ended! "
Ian bestowed his lover to his subordinates? I was confused. Was a mistress just an object to Ian? Of course, I didn't sympathize with Lola's experience. I just couldn't figure out what kind of person Ian was.
"So, are you the wife of that Colonel Bor or... " I almost used lowly terms like a mistress or a lover, but when I saw Lola kneeling on the ground in helplessness and with tearful eyes, my heart immediately softened. The tone in which I spoke to her was not as harsh as before.
