#Chapter 206: The Council Splinters

The next morning, as I awoke alone in the bed, I immediately cursed myself for being so easily distractible. It never failed, the minute Caleb put his hands on me, I was lost to lust and pleasure. It was as if my brain clicked off and my body took over, with my heart caught in between. In the end, nothing has really been solved. Caleb still has his harem, and all the girls of his harem are still waiting in the wings for him to remember they exist and to visit them again. How soon until he gets bored enough with me to seek out their attentions? With a groan, I turn and bury my face into the pillow. None of this should matter. My jealousy is entirely unreasonable. Caleb is a King and kings have harems. It’s not just a group of women for him to take pleasure in. It is also a political chip and a symbol of the kingdom’s prosperity. Yet, even knowing all that, I can’t convince my heart not to care. Checking the clock near the bed, I see that Caleb has let me oversleep this morning.
