Toremo who is walking towards Dreckos and King Timodore heard the latter’s command to the former. His eyes suddenly flashed with interest.
“My King, did I hear it right? You are looking for another woman?” Toremo asked with curiosity in his tone.
“Yes Toremo, do you have one?”
“I have a friend. But I wanted to know first what would be the role of this other woman. Would she be going to be your mistress?” Toremo inquired again with growing more curiosity now.
King Timodore answered nonchalantly, “In the meantime, she will be my mistress but later if I found her more suitable, I will make her my Queen.”
“I see, I don’t want to intrude nor ask what happened with you and Queen Lea. I will just heed your command. Tomorrow, I will ask my friend to visit our palace and I will introduce her to you, my King.” Toremo said after vowing his head.
Dreckos looked at King Timodore as if his eyes are asking if the King is serious with his plans.
“Good Toremo. I will be looking forward to meet that woman then.” King Timodore said then walked away without even excusing himself. His strides are wide and his face seems so cold.
Dreckos and Toremo looked at each other both with inquisitive looks.
Dreckos just shrugged his shoulders and after patting Toremo’s left shoulder, walked away too.
Toremo was left with a wicked smile on his lips. He will ask Sulie to come. She has been so frustrated before anyway when she found out that King Timodore has found a wife already. She was still preparing then to meet the King but someone like Queen Lea grabbed that opportunity from her. Again, Toremo smiled wickedly.

Asalea has been tormented for a while already. It was past their bedtime but she never saw yet her husband entered their room. She could still remember that before, right at this moment, they are already in their delirious state while having their passionate lovemaking.
She shook her head and tried not to think of any negativity. King Timodore might be just busy outside. She then decided to look for him.
Walking outside of their room and down the corridor going down, she passed by on Toremo. She smiled at him and asked, “Toremo, have you seen the King?”
