Gerald tapped the table fondly with his fingers.
"Look at it from my angle, Theodore. Your daughter accepts to marry a man, but has been in love with his brother for as long as only she knows… would you not come to the same conclusion I have come to?"
Perhaps, he would have…
"Mayhap." Was all he said.
"So, I believe you should know so you can avoid scandalizing situations with her since you have proven to be a very responsible man."

"But I have to ask you, are you actually a eunuch." The man asked without flinching.
Theodore had to blink.
People never asked him that. Not even his father or his brother.
"Yes."
