"I wonder why I even used you as an example," Julian groaned, rubbing his temples.
"It's true, I'm a bad example," Jasper admitted with disconcerting frankness. "I've never felt attachment or love for anything, except my bow."
"But you still got engaged to the daughter of the Aqua clan patriarch?" Kaiser asked, curious despite himself.
"It's a political arrangement. Besides, she doesn't bother me. She's beautiful, she's not annoying, and she likes archery. For me, that's enough."
"Hmm…" Kaiser nodded. "It's still a form of love, right? A bit basic, but it holds up."
"Where do you see love in that?" Julian shot back, exasperated. "The guy's just a psychopath."
"Anyway. Back to your problems… What exactly is going on with Norah?" Kaiser crossed his arms, after all, he had to coach his stepson. Something that would stab Julian to death if he ever found out.
Julian took a deep breath, fists clenched on the table. "That bitch cheated on me."
