Rise of the Inquisition: Reconstruction

Dragon King XII

Chasing after how he feels, Paladin knocks on the door of Violet. When receiving no immediate response, he patiently waits for her by standing next to the door. He looks down the hall and saw it mostly empty - few vases with flowers occupying the hall. And after a few minutes pass by with receiving no response, Paladin again knocks on the door - and upon receiving no response he slowly opens the door - creaking it slightly open. Immediately notices that Violet was asleep; laying on her bed with no sheets over her and her head face first in the pillow.

I'll come back later--

"She's a sleeping beauty, isn't she?"

Paladin eyes move and he's immediately able to see the spiky red hair of Halmark, who was wearing his white armor trimmed red - lacking a helmet which revealed his red glowing eyes.

Does your head need to literally be inches away from mine...

"What are you doing?" I turn to Halmark.

Hallmark lightly chuckles

"Can't you tell what I'm doing, Dragon King?" he quietly whispers. "I'm joining you in looking at this sleeping beauty named Violet."

Kind of feels wrong having the door creaked open and watching Violet - who is peacefully sleeping and has no clue what we're doing.

Feels like an invasion of privacy.

"I see..."

"Do you plan on making Violet one of your women?" Hallmark asks.

One of my women?

Ah... I forgot... Alpha had an entire collection of women - a harem essentially. His reasons for having a harem being based around his own blood, but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe Alpha was just a flat out pervert - and used his blood as an excuse to be with whomever he wished while he still had a few he was intensely loyal to?

How did Alpha's blood even become so demanding anyways?
"Out of curiosity, how many women did I have in my harem - previously?"

"Hmmm..." Halmark starts counting with his fingers, but as the numbers gets higher and higher he puts his hands away since they no longer proved useful. "Uhm... let me ask you a question; unconfirmed or confirmed?"

Unconfirmed or confirmed...?

Something tells me that I'm not going to like this at all...

"Confirmed..."

The confirmed numbers have to be low, right?

"At least thirty..."

Thirty?!

Holy crap Alpha!

Wait... what does that mean for the unconfirmed...

"Unconfirmed has to be close... right?"

"Nope," Hallmark replies," the unconfirmed is actually over one hundred - and if we're truly talking about unconfirmed, it's nearing over five hundred--"

"Please stop talking," I interrupt.

Paladin felt himself on the verge of passing out. The amount of women that Alpha was possibly with disgusted him to his very core. The thought of what he used to be bothering him - especially because of his loyalty to Isabella, and how there could always be the potential for such a reality to occur again if he wasn't vigilant.

"But Dragon King," Halmark pats me on my shoulder, "the high number is really, really impressive. And the women you managed to get with? Anybody would be jealous - especially because you avoided having children many, many times... But just an fyi though," Halmark whispers into my ear, "a few of your knights were former lovers of yours... so it was rumoured."
