91 As king, I have the liberty to indulge with as many women as I wish

Such encounters do not elevate anyone to the rank of royalty. I am capable of such interactions with any woman I desire—it's a privilege of my position. As king, I have the liberty to indulge with as many women as I wish.

Ragnar responded with a dismissive smirk, his demeanor cool and detached.

"And what exactly has given you such confidence that you see yourself as my queen?" he queried, his tone laced with condescension.

Sophia's breath caught in her throat. "W-what do you mean?"

"You heard me clearly, Sophia," Ragnar continued, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Sophia, undeterred by his tone, shot back, "If I am not your consort, then why did you behave as you did last night?"

Her question was pointed, challenging him to justify his actions within the framework of their supposed relationship.

Ragnar's smirk widened, his eyes glinting with a dismissive amusement as he regarded Sophia.
