Ask how can you help
"It concerns my young wife."
You set down your goblet. "What is it, Count?"
"Beatrice is young, and she still has her needs to be fulfilled," the old man sighs, looking down at his hands. "Needs that my aging body can no longer meet. I know your reputation, prince. I want you to visit her room tonight."
You narrow your eyes, watching him closely. "You want me to bed your wife?"
"Yes," the count confesses, his voice trembling. "And perhaps... perhaps you could sow your seed as well. I need an heir to inherit this estate, even if it is not of my own blood. No one will ever know."
You lean back in your chair, a dark smile playing on your lips. "Are you sure about this, Count?"
The Count nods his head without hesitation. He says yes. He tells you that he prefers a child of royal blood to inherit his name rather than a distant cousin.
