Nikolai learned a horrible fact once again.
When a woman isn't ready for a special event, a man should find something to do for the next few hours. He sat outside the shared room of Amphitrite and Lunaria, who were both getting prepared for tonight's event.
Alexei betrayed him and left earlier to meet his wife.
'This is taking too long...'
He usually didn't have to wait because there was something to take care of or deal with while waiting for his women to get ready.
He didn't understand what took so long when all they were doing was changing clothes and putting on makeup. It shouldn't be this hard, right? However, he also remembered his mother's words of wisdom, never to doubt or rush a woman when preparing for something she looked forward to.
"Haa..."
He leaned against the wall and stared at the ceiling.
