“No. It’s not! Please believe me, Ren. I do not have any relationship with Prince Kin. There is nothing between us…I don’t feel anything for him. Please believe me!” I pleaded desperately. I felt like I was going to start crying again.
What can I say to make Ren believe me? What can I do to make him believe me?
“Come closer,” Ren said, as he beckoned me towards him with his hand.
Slowly, I approached him, not sure what he wanted me to do. Ren patted the spot next to him on the wooden sofa, telling me that he wanted me to sit beside him. I sat down next to him as he had indicated. Now that I was close to Ren, I felt like bursting into tears once again.
“Listen to what I’m about to say and listen well, Rin,” Ren said as he took my chin in between his fingers and made sure that I was looking straight into his eyes.
I nodded slowly. To be honest, I was scared of everyt
His eyes were on me as he waited for me to do as he had commanded. I hesitated for a brief moment, before I steeled my resolve and started undoing the sash of the robe that I was wearing. If this was what Ren wanted and what is required for me to regain his trust, then…No pain…no gain…right?After undoing the sash around my waist, I parted the front of the robe to the side and slowly slipped the sleeves off each of my arms. Slowly, I let the robe fall to the ground. My entire naked body was exposed to Ren’s sight as I stood there in front of him, the robe that I had on before now a pool of silk at my feet.Feeling very vulnerable from my own nakedness, I tried to cover my body up with my arms. That brought about a displeased look on Ren’s face.“Hands and arms to your side. Don’t cover yourself,” Ren ordered curtly.I lowered my arms just like he had ordered, exposing my entire naked body to
I ached for him so much. My body wanted him to touch me more and feed me with more pleasure. The pleasurable ache in between my legs was becoming too much to bear. I knew that I was already very wet, my pussy looking forward to receiving attention from Ren.“Ren…” I moaned his name passionately when his fingers finally found the hot wet heat in between my legs and started stroking it.His fingers traced my slick opening as he stroked my wetness up and down. His fingers haven’t entered my love hole yet but it already felt so good to feel his touch on my most feminine part. I felt myself get wetter and wetter down there as his fingers stroked my opening expertly.I cried out and then moaned loudly when his fingers finally fondled the small but ultra-sensitive bud in between my legs. My hips thrusted up sharply at the sensation of my clit being pinched and rolled in between his fingertips. It felt amazingly pleasurable. I cried
I didn’t have long to ponder my thoughts or admire his beautiful smile or the sound of his amused laughter because Ren began stating his next command.“Kneel down in between my legs,” Ren commanded as he pointed to the spot on the floor in between his legs.My eyes followed his fingers to the spot on the floor in confusion. I wasn’t sure why he wanted me to get off his lap and kneel on the floor. However, if that was what he wanted then…“Ok…” I whispered obediently as I slowly slid my leg down until my feet touched the floor.Carefully, I got off from his lap and stood on my feet in between his legs before slowly kneeling down until I was on my knees. Kneeling on the floor in between his legs where he had indicated, I looked up at him unsure of what he wanted me to do next.“Help me undress, Rin,” Ren ordered as he gestured to the lower part of his royal costume.
“Run your tongue up and down the length of my cock…” Ren commanded.“Like…this?” I asked in between running my tongue along his length. My question was muffled by his cock against my lips.Ren’s pleasurable sigh was all the response that I needed to know that I was treating him right. I’ve never licked a man’s cock like this before. It was surprisingly a new and exciting experience for me. The length of his manhood up close to my face, made me realize how very long and thick he was. It took a lot of effort for me to run my tongue along his entire length.“Yes, that’s it. You’re making me feel so good, Rin…” Ren said dreamily as he enjoyed the pleasure from the touches of my fingers, my lips, and my tongue.Watching Ren drown in pleasure was making me feel strangely pleasurable too. It felt weird, I felt so hot although he wasn’t touching me
I couldn’t move my hands anymore. My pussy walls clenched and twitched wildly around my own fingers as I climaxed. So, this is what Ren feels when he fingers me and I cum by his hand. My pussy got so much hotter as my climax hit me.“I can’t hold back anymore either…” Ren whispered thickly.His cock pounded into my mouth faster and it took all the effort I had to bear with it without choking. Ren was moaning louder now, and I could tell by the heat and the way his cock was twitching that he was close to his release. Ren rammed his cock deep to the back of my throat one last time as his hand clutched the back of my head tightly. In the next instant, he filled my mouth with his hot seed.My eyes opened wide in shock when his cock spurted the hot liquid of his seed inside of my mouth. The smell and taste of his seed filled my mouth and all my sensations. His cum smelled so strong and raw. Ren came so much in my mouth
“No…” I replied softly. Frankly, I wasn’t that interested either.“Practically, it’s a very effective way to show that you belong to him. However, it is also a way to show you his commitment to take care of you as a man would take care of his wife…” Auntie said, stressing on every word to make sure that I understood what she was saying.It wasn’t like I didn’t want to believe her, but Ren’s cold attitude did not match with what this dress was supposed to symbolize at all. What is he really thinking? Why would he want me to wear this when I appear in court later today?A feeling of uneasiness filled me up inside and I couldn’t explain why.…**Days Before **It was a moonless night with thick clouds in the sky, making the night darker than most nights. The inner court was silent because everyone had headed to bed. Jeely sat in front of her
“Were you carving for this? It’s been almost a week since I’ve paid you a late-night visit like this,” Prince Kin asked as he observed her reactions.“I’ve been waiting for you…I thought you would never come…” Jeely said sweetly, providing Prince Kin with what he wanted to hear.His hands slipped underneath the silk fabric of her night gown and began massaging her breasts directly. The feel of her breasts being squeezed roughly felt so pleasurable to Jeely that she couldn’t stop herself from moaning with bliss. Prince Kin’s hot hands on her naked breasts felt amazing.“I always tell you to move to my inner court instead, but you’ve always turned me down,” Prince Kin said without bothering to hide the disappointment in his voice.“I would never move there…and I’m not sorry,” Jeely replied, her response firm.&l
The prince pulled Jeely into his arms where he held her tightly before he pressed his lips to hers. It all happened so fast and so suddenly that Jeely was taken off guard. Before she realized what was going on, the prince was already kissing her aggressively.Jeely froze in shock at this sudden development. She knew that it was inappropriate for any man to treat her this way except for the crown prince. After recovering from her initial shock, she began struggling immediately, pounding her fists against his chest.However, her efforts were futile. The prince was so much larger and stronger than she was, and he seemed to be enjoying her struggles. The kiss between them deepened, as the prince pressed his mouth against hers harder, kissing her from various angles. Jeely tried to turn her head away to break the kiss but the Prince held the back of her head with his hand.His kiss was demanding and almost punishing. His tongue plunged into her mout
“Really? I think you’re as young and as pretty as before…if not more pretty…” Ren said reassuringly before he bent down to kiss my cheek tenderly.Although I knew that he was probably just saying it to please me, I couldn’t help but feel my heart flutter at his words. The truth was that I have aged, and I definitely don’t look as fresh or young as I did all those years ago. Even I wasn’t foolish enough to believe that I haven’t aged. “Thank you, Ren…but that’s not really the point…” I replied with a small laugh. “Can’t we try for one more? Please…just one more…” Ren pleaded sweetly. “But we already have three children…” I pointed out. “But we don’t have a daughter yet…” Ren said with a sigh as he looked depressed and deflated. I wanted to roll my eyes at fate. Most women had problem pleasing their husband and his family because they couldn’t produce a son. In my case, I had no problem producing sons, but my husband was adamant in wanting a daughter so that he could spoil her like
My political influence changed again when I became pregnant with my second child and soon gave birth to another very healthy son. Having two sons for the emperor gave the entire empire confidence that the line of succession is secure. Despite Prince Kin’s women giving birth to a few sons as well at that point, it was clear that the line of succession will continue in Ren’s branch of the family, much to the dowager empress’s joy. Strangely, I have developed an amicable relationship with the dowager empress over the years as she had taken much interest in her great grandchildren. Naturally, I was favored without needing to do anything much. Unfortunately, the dowager empress passed away from old age before she got to see the face of our third child. To my utmost surprise and to many others’ jealousy, she had chosen to leave all her treasures to me so that I could distribute it to my children’s wives when they got married. I cried so much at her funeral that Ren had to step in and lead
Lately Ren has found his work as the emperor boring and repetitive. As a result, he has been spending more time with me and our children. That was a great thing for me and our family, but I wasn’t sure if it was best for the empire. “Shin can take care of most things. He’s unmarried, has no kids, and loves the empire. He’s perfect for the job,” Ren said before laughing loudly. That was his response when I asked him about skipping out on some of his royal duties. It’s been around 7 years now since Ren and I got married but Shin was still as single and free as a bird. Despite our efforts to get him to settle down, Shin had some how successfully evaded the topic of marriage all together. Even an arrangement by the previous emperor couldn’t tie him down. Shin now considers my children as his own and acts as their loving godfather. …When we arrived back at the main palace, I was greeted by my second son, Rem. Rem is more of a carefree spirit compared to Rou. He doesn’t seem super devot
“It sounds very complicated. In my town, weddings are something that you celebrate with your close friends and family in a simple way…” I mumbled. “I’m sure that doesn’t apply if you marry a prince or if you’re becoming the next empress,” Ren said with a laugh. “I guess you’re right…” I said with a nod of my head. “Don’t worry too much. We’ll both have it easy until the day itself. If you’re not too picky, you can leave the preparation to the officials and the staff. They’ll get everything done and if you have any special requests, just let them know and they’ll figure it out,” Ren said before he patted my head. I guess planning my own wedding was out of the question. I was sure that whatever the officials in charge had in mind would be very different to what I wanted. Recalling the minimal version of the wedding dress that Ren once made me wear to appear in court, I shuddered at the thought of the real wedding dress itself and the ceremony involved. “I’ll leave it to them then.
“Why didn’t you tell me about the baby?” Ren asked the moment the door to my bedroom closed behind us. “I…I was just waiting for the right moment to tell you,” I said honestly. “When did you find out?” Ren asked. “About a month ago while we were still in the middle of war,” I confessed softly. “You should have told me,” Ren insisted. “But you were so busy, and you were out there fighting every day. I didn’t want to add to your burdens,” I explained. “Regardless, you still should have told me,” Ren repeated his same opinion. “I’m sorry, Ren. It wasn’t like I was trying to keep it from you,” I apologized sadly. “I would have taken care of you better…” Ren muttered. Is that why he was so mad? “You’re so sweet, Ren,” I said before giggling. It was probably the first time that I think I saw Ren blush. I couldn’t stop myself from giggling at the sight. “Thank you, Rin. I can’t wait to raise our baby together,” Ren said as he hugged me close to him. “Me too…” I replied before sm
“But if you go, they might kill you…” Shin said. “Isn’t there someone who can help me?” I asked as a thought struck me. “You can’t be seriously thinking about…” Shin muttered as he probably caught on to what I was thinking. “Please, Shin…please help Ren…please help me…” I begged. “Shit…this is crazy…” Shin said in pure disbelief. I watched as Shin sprinted off. After he was gone, my legs lost all its strength and I eased down onto a nearby chair and concentrated on keeping my breathing calm. I placed a hand on my tummy as I prayed that all three of us would be safe. …**Back to the present**Everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall, where a frail old woman walked in slowly with her most trusted eunuch supporting her arms on both sides. Despite her age and her weakened body, the Dowager Empress walked with a straight back full of pride. In unison as if they had practiced it beforehand, everyone stood up from their seat and bowed. Ren and I did the same. “Mother…” the em
After quite a long while had passed, all five doctors were done with inspecting my body. Ren returned back to my side before he placed a comforting hand on my shoulder as we all waited for the verdict from the doctors. “So, what is your opinion regarding the Lady White Lotus,” the emperor asked impatiently. Each doctor was asked to present his view one by one starting with the least senior and ending with Doctor Pai, who was the most senior of them all. “Your Majesty, I believe that the Lady White Lotus is with child,” the first doctor stated before bowing deeply to the emperor. The whole hall erupted in whispers and gasps of shock. Some members of court who had undoubtedly been eagerly waiting for the next royal heir cheered and clapped their hands. “Silence. Next…” the emperor said firmly as he invited the next doctor to give his opinion. “Your Majesty. The Lady White Lotus is indeed pregnant,” the second doctor said before bowing to show his respect. “Next…” the emperor said
I can do this. I can do this. I can do this! “There is no need to punish the crown prince because I am without a doubt loyal to this empire. I wish for a bright future for this empire because that would mean a bright future for our child…” I said, making sure that my voice rang loud and clear. “Rin…” I heard Ren whisper my name. “What are you saying?” the emperor asked as a frown formed in between his brows. “I am with child. I am pregnant with the crown prince’s child,” I stated firmly. I could feel and hear everyone’s shock. Loud gasp of surprise filled the room followed by whispers. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, and I placed my hands over my stomach as if to protect the baby that was inside. “What are you saying? Leave with Shin right now,” Ren hissed to me as he came to my side. “No…I am not leaving you…” I said stubbornly. “Is it true, Rin?” Ren asked softly, I could feel his gaze on my stomach. I smiled weakly at him as I nodded. His eyes widened in surprise befor
Ren stood up from his seat and all eyes were on him. He took in a breath to calm himself before facing the emperor and the members of court. “I believe that the punishment decided for the town of Amber Leaves is just and fair. The emperor who also approved it seem to share my beliefs. The people of the town had no knowledge of what was going on and did not benefit from the enemy. Because of this, I believe that they should not be punished. I spent more than three months fighting the war. Compared to someone who had never stepped foot on the battlefield or the town itself, I believe that it should be fair to say that I am more knowledgeable about the situation,” Ren said calmly.“What about the punishment for Lady White Lotus? It is indeed her town that rebelled against the empire,” a senior member of court inquired sternly. “The Lady White Lotus has failed to deliver a royal heir for this empire as well. It has been a very long time and she is not yet with child,” the empress spoke
