“You understand how utterly foolish you have been?” Hekima commented, sighing heavily as his son only shrugged his shoulders, taking another sip of his drink. “Again, must I remind you, this negotiation is very, very…fucking sensitive!” His voice raised as he spoke, only to calm as he composed himself. “It has taken far too many resources, and far too much time to secure. And I will not see our people’s success be destroyed by your libido!”

“Father, it’s fine.” Joka’la said, gesturing over to the mares. “It was a nameless guard and some servants. I highly doubt anyone would’ve noticed.”

“Are you willing to risk everything I have done for this?” Hekima asked, his voice still harsh and angry. “Regardless, it seems I have to keep a much tighter grip on your actions while these proceedings take place.”

“Woah, woah, let’s not be too hasty!” Joka’la said, nearly dropping his drink as he got up. “Alright, alright, I’ll be more careful. I just figured a few nameless mares wouldn’t matter. It’s not like I’m fucking the Princess!”

“Don’t you dare even speak that, even as some passing remark.” Hekima snapped, raising a finger towards his son. “I will not even have the seeds of such thinking grow in your mind. Am I understood!” Joka’la only nodded, looking away from his father. “Good. We have more and more work to do, and Princess Celestia is a skilled speaker. So I must focus my efforts on securing a deal with her. Do not let me hear of this again.”

I don't get on why he is so mad at his own son's libido, when he is LITERALLY doing the same thing to Celestia herself, and this ain't the first time either. What a damn hypocrite, he is. Hekima needs to get off his "high horse".

He probably kept his relationship a secret from his son

Great chapter man

Amazing chapter! Hope we can see more of Hekima and Celestia too, maybe how they started their relationship.
