"Calm yourself, little girl," Sapphira said with a faint smile. "This Queen is not stealing your husband from you. This is a strategic bond with Adonis Kingsbane to reassure the Dragon Race that he will never abandon the dragons or betray their faith."
"Nonsense!" Mariana shouted. "If you do not have faith in him, why should he trust you? This whole thing is a carefully planned sham. You greedy woman must have been charmed by my husband and now want to steal him from me. I understand everything perfectly."
She turned to look into Adonis's eyes.
"Am I not right, Adonis? You agree with me, don't you? You do not want this witch hanging around your neck, right? Tell them. Tell them you only belong to me."
Adonis was honestly in a dilemma.
For him, it was far more beneficial to accept Sapphira as another wife, as his growth depended directly on the women around him. The stronger the woman he formed a bond with, the more Harem Force he would be able to generate.
