A Private Conversation with the Majapahit Princess

Berengar looked closely into the Majapahit princess's deep brown eyes and could tell that, unlike his earlier prank, she was not joking in the slightest when she made this request. This woman was desperate for a child, so much so that she had propositioned a foreign monarch that she had just met to become the father.

The truth was that Berengar did not know enough of the Sanskrit language to inform the woman of his exact thoughts. Not only that, but their affair would have to be concealed from the rest of her host, and because of this, he did not make any overt moves, and instead nodded his head before approaching the interpreter to convey his thoughts to the woman.

"Tell the Princess that I accept her terms, and am willing to discuss them further at a later time. Perhaps this evening she can stop by my study, and we will be able to come to a more thorough agreement."
