Chapter 107: Believer of a Pagan God
Humphrey immediately looked troubled. "But this is truly too impolite! If others find out I actually invited an esteemed lady to witness such things, my family’s honor will be shamed!"
Lothar felt a slight suspicion rise in his heart.
"If it’s something that would bring shame to your family if women saw it, then it’s probably best not to see it at all. To be honest, I’m not very interested."
"Wouldn’t that be too discourteous? Since you insist, let’s go see it together. I just hope you will absolutely not publicize this matter, otherwise, I’ll be too ashamed to show my face." Humphrey’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Actually, it’s nothing particularly indecent, just some Persian dancing girls from Ctesiphon. Their dance is alluring and varied, and it has a very blasphemous ’title,’ called the Dance of the Celestial Demon. To be perfectly frank, even I often think it’s a temptation of the devil, yet I always find myself unable to resist."
"Just a dance?" Lothar was somewhat puzzled. He had originally thought they were heading to an orgy; he truly didn’t understand how a mere dance could be associated with "blasphemy." However, his curiosity was indeed piqued. ’No matter how exciting, it’s probably just like the girl groups from my previous life.’
The group walked towards the depths of the castle. "Everyone, please follow me. This is the room I usually use to meet honored guests. I had three storerooms demolished to build it, so it’s spacious enough. Fine wine and delicacies are already prepared, just awaiting your esteemed enjoyment."
Humphrey, smiling, pushed open the door. "Please, come in."
It was indeed very spacious here. In the center of the wide hall, over a dozen impeccably dressed servants, holding silver trays, stood before a long rectangular table. Lothar marveled inwardly at the wealth of Oultrejordain.
