Her eyes scanned the room, playful and sharp. Suddenly, they locked onto Ethan Caelan, as if she had chosen him as her prey, unable to escape her seductive grasp.The beautiful woman swayed toward Ethan Caelan, each step languid and suggestive. When she reached him, she didn't hesitate to stroke his chest, her hand sliding down to his waist. Her body pressed close against him, and Ethan Caelan could feel the warmth of her breath, the sweet scent of her skin causing his heart to skip a beat. He tried to pull back, gripping the arms of his chair, his eyes avoiding her scorching gaze.The woman continued to move seductively in front of him, her every motion drawing Ethan Caelan deeper into a whirlpool of desire. The last piece of her clothing slipped away, leaving only a thin veil barely covering her full breasts and curvaceous hips.She straddled Ethan Caelan's lap, her hips swaying slightly, offering herself completely to him. She pulled his face close, her lips nearing his as if about
The surrounding space suddenly became eerily quiet, with no one daring to speak. The auctioneer patiently waited for a moment, then began to count: "60 gold taels, going once...""100 gold taels!" Ethan Caelan's voice rang out, firm and unhesitant. The room erupted into a frenzy of whispers and murmurs. All eyes turned toward the young nobleman, equally astonished and impressed. They couldn’t decide whether to admire his generosity or be captivated by his striking beauty."100 gold taels, going once... twice... thrice! Congratulations, my lord! Miss Lyria Hawke now belongs to you!" The auctioneer's voice boomed, filled with satisfaction.Ethan gently inclined his head toward Leo and softly instructed, "Return to the Imperial Academy and fetch the gold."Elias hesitated, glancing up at Ethan, his eyes reflecting concern. In a low voice, he said, "Your Highness, be cautious of deceit.""I intend to buy her," Ethan replied firmly, his tone unwavering.Elias had no choice but to bow and
Ethan smiled at Lyria and said: "Lady Lyria, it’s already late. Rest here at the inn tonight, and tomorrow, come to The Imperial Academy to find me. I will think of a way to help you."Tears welled up in Lyria's eyes as she bowed gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, for taking me in."When Ethan returned to the royal palace, night had already fallen. The palace gates closed behind him as he and his two guards swiftly headed towards the Heart of Jade Palace. But as they entered the Celestial Blossom Garden, they unexpectedly encountered Valerius Evander, who stood there as if he had been waiting for Ethan for some time. Reflexively, Ethan was startled but quickly regained his composure, respectfully bowing.Valerius glanced at Ethan's entourage, noticing the absence of Lyria Hawke, and smiled inwardly. He surmised that Ethan had hurried back just in time before the palace gates closed, leaving no time to indulge in pleasures with the beauty. Without a word, Valerius subtly signaled to Reed
Ethan struggled to free himself, but his arms and legs were firmly restrained,, his body caught in a torturous web of sensual torment, every resistance rendered useless. His gaze gradually grew dim. The maidens, with their enticing figures, continuously pressed their ample bosoms against his skin, enveloping him, each movement synchronized perfectly.Their lips took turns claiming his, engaging in deep, passionate kisses, while their fingers skillfully caressed and delicately stimulated the sensitive spots on his body. One maiden moved down to his waist, her fingers lightly exploring the area below, as her lips brushed against the delicate skin of his most sensitive part. Her agile tongue swirled relentlessly, her eyes intoxicated by the sweet taste. Ethan was overwhelmed by their ministrations, tears welling up in his eyes, his breaths coming out in ragged gasps.“Look! The prince is pleased,” one of them exclaimed with delight as she noticed Ethan’s body responding.“And to think he
Chapter 42. A Night with the King“Aaah!” Ethan cried out in shock, his body tightening as it was invaded in a way it had never known, pain searing through him like lightning.“You beast, you vile creature,” Ethan screamed, his voice filled with anger and disgust.Overcome with madness, Valerius, inexperienced and unprepared for his first time with a man, struggled for a while but still couldn’t fully penetrate Ethan. As if suddenly remembering something crucial, he reached under a pillow and pulled out a jar of lubricant.His dark eyes locked onto Ethan’s. “My mistake, I hurt you, didn’t I?”With that, he scooped out a generous amount of the balm and worked it into Ethan’s entrance with his fingers. “Bear with it a little longer, and you’ll start to feel good soon.”"Stop it, Valerius. Please, I beg you," Ethan pleaded, his voice trembling with panic.But his resistance only made Valerius more impatient, his hands fumbling as he applied more and more of the lubricant. He thrust his f
At the Jade Heart Palace, Reed Jace and Leo Grant were extremely worried as their master had gone with Valerius Evander since the evening and had not returned until now. Seeing his silhouette at the door, they both rushed out in relief.“Your Highness, you’ve returned!”Ethan Caelan stepped inside, looking as if his soul had left him. It seemed as if all his strength had been drained; he collapsed on the threshold. Reed Jace and Leo Grant hurriedly rushed to support him. “Your Highness, what has happened to you?”Ethan Caelan barely opened his phoenix eyes, looking at his two guards and whispered, “I want to bathe.”The two guards helped him into the bath, immediately preparing warm water mixed with lotus essence, filling the room with a refreshing and pure fragrance.Ethan Caelan stepped into the bath, letting the water cascade over his body, scrubbing himself continuously. But the filthy, disgusting feeling wouldn't go away. The slimy, foul substance still lingered inside him, seep
Chapter 44. I just want to go homeValerius continued, "Lately, state affairs have been overwhelming. I cannot handle everything alone. I need a trusted advisor to assist me in reviewing the petitions and sharing the burden of governance."He paused, his sharp gaze falling on Cassian Lightwood, who stood solemnly below. "Cassian, you were once the top scholar in the realm, renowned for your intelligence. For years, you’ve served as Helios's envoy, fostering diplomacy with neighboring nations, playing a significant role in stabilizing the court. Now, I appoint you as Grand Chancellor. After each assembly, stay with me in the Grand Harmony Palace to review petitions and discuss state matters."Cassian bowed deeply, "I am honored to accept Your Majesty’s command."Valerius smiled, clearly pleased. In one stroke, he had removed two thorns constantly vying for Ethan Caelan’s attention. The rebellion in Whitewater, deeply rooted and persistent, would occupy Harrison for years. Meanwhile, Ca
