Discuss it with Shara

You figure that before you make a decision, you should speak to Shara about it. You figure the best time might be one when you're both in a good mood. As such, you broach the topic after copulating with her again that evening. Shara and you are both enjoying the sweet bliss of your respective orgasms, her head nestled against your shoulder and arm draped across your chest. "Shara?" you say uncertainly. She stirs slightly, looking up at you. "Yes, my warrior?" she asks softly. "Some of my courtiers...don't approve of you." She looks pensive, but says nothing. "One of them, Lothair, has offered his niece to be my mistress" you say, waiting for an response anxiously. Her face looks determined and she huffs. "No fear other women. Strong warlords have many women. I know. I good enough to beat any." Well, that wasn't what you were expecting. She must not have understood that Lothair wants her replaced, not to add his niece to the list. For her people, leaders having multiple women must be common and expected. Hmm, now that you think about it, is that an option? You don't want to get rid of Shara, and while Lothair wouldn't be thrilled at the idea of his illegitimate niece having to compete for your affections, perhaps it would satisfy him for now.

"But your father didn't" you say questioningly. "Father...how your people say...a romantic" she says, avoiding your gaze. Ouch. Now she's making you feel guilty for even thinking about it. You run a hand through her short hair affectionately, distracted in thought.
