Chapter 38: Aylin Khione
The class went silent. Many looked surprised at how much Caius seemed to know. Others were shocked at how he chose to present historical facts. But most of all, the vast majority believed he was making it all up. He had to be.
Even the Professor looked unsure.
"What did you say?" She asked like she couldn’t believe her ears.
"I said he died horny," Caius repeated,
"At least that’s what is said; That he was poisoned to death by a lethal dose of aphrodisiac as punishment for what he did.
More shocking is that it’s believed the Elves didn’t do it. That it was a human who did him in. Someone either pissed that he almost caused another few decades of war of maybe just jealous that he got to taste what they didn’t dare to go after themselves. No one knows for sure."
"Where did you get all these?" Professor Gilligan asked.
"History books," Caius said easily, "I’ve read quite a bit."
That was a lie, of course. It’s just that the tale of Aklopis was one of the more interesting bits of side-story Samantha Ellis had included in her novel and Caius knew it so well because he actually liked Aklopis. That horny bastard had done more for sexual content than any of the actual characters of a novel that was rated 18+.
He got so interested in Aklopis’ side-story of a history that he accurately knew the timeline of events mentioned in the story and here he was regurgitating them and having everyone in class staring at him like he was some brainiac.
’Damn, Samantha really had me starved,’ He thought with a sigh.
