HEARING that, Cynric couldn't help but laugh. Because it was just so like Wulfric to say something like that. "If it were that easy, I would not be having this problem right now."
Wulfric gave him a sideways look. "The only problem here is you thinking too much."
"Have we really made up? Why are you coming at me like this?" Cynric replied with mock outrage.
Wulfric only rolled his eyes at him, which made Cynric laugh.
"But seriously, things between me and Valentine are not that simple," Cynric said, sounding more serious now. "What we have started as a transaction. His face is just my type, so I invited him to the palace, very discreetly, mind you. I still have a reputation to protect, after all. He would sleep with me, and I give him some gifts now and then. Tell me, can a relationship like that ever be real?"
Wulfric let out a short laugh. "Sleeping with you would hardly be a chore for that guy. Even if you paid him only pennies, he would still do it happily."
