Send “Amortentia” for what smells my character associates with yours.

“Liquor, wet cats and…”

The letter certainly was opinionated, but sincerely so. Cao Cao put the message away and sank into his chair.

“A life without women…” He furrowed his brows. “Would this peasant prefer that I take on a male companion?”

Not implausible, as there were more than a few men in the Wei court that have caught his eye, but that would mean no heirs, simply exchanging one weakness for another.

“I wonder what Xiahou Dun would think of this proposition.”

“Beauty, grace, kindness and wit. In equal portions, preferably.”

Cao Cao grins, visualizing the women he has spent the nights with. He lets out a small sigh as his mind returns to his wives.

“But... I find that I cannot resist a woman who is not afraid to ask for more. Riches, love, even blood–there is nothing I would not give.”

Cao Cao frowned at the mess lying crumpled on his luxury carpet. After prodding the young man with his toe, he sighed and lifted him up then placed him on a couch. It was not easy, what with the height difference and the horrid stench, but it was eventually done.
