Tiberius blinked. "Did someone?"
Someone must have tried to do something, or else why would she be bringing this up? He'd suspected that something had happened to cause this conversation, but he hadn't anticipated something like this. He was still having a difficult time believing it, truth be told. Antigone had never made a habit of making herself particularly desirable. She could feign politeness on occasion, but that was about all she had in terms of charm. She was attractive enough, but so were dozens of other young women who were far better company. It seemed far-fetched to think Antigone would have encouraged any potential attentions, given the Vow. Anyone who was taking liberties would have had to do so against her will, and if that was the case... why? Why not pick anyone else, who was a softer and easier target for such a thing?
