I cock my head to the side in confusion. "I'm not quite sure I follow. Men are not allowed to see their children birthed?"Cassandra laughs, her green eyes flashing with mirth. "No, silly," she laughs. The way she goes about it makes me feel like a complete idiot. "Men in this kingdom have never witnessed the birth of their children. It's always been a custom…and I'm sure men would not want to see that anyways."I frown again. "Men back in my kingdom would be at their wife's bedside, comforting her through the process. I suppose it's horrid not having your lover there with you.""Correction," Cassandra interjects. "It's not horrid, it's the barbarian way."I tap my fingers on the cot, chewing my lip softly. A question has been inside of my mind for a while now and I don't quite know how to ask it. I know that we are in a harem, the girls are bedded often and most times quite quickly. "And what happens to a woman if she becomes impregnated?" I question.Cassandra leans against the back
✿Mrudula✿From the Morning he went out saying he has something important thing to deal with but he warned me not to go out, running wild here and like usual his threat" If any man touched you or rape you I will kill him in front of you and then I will kill you for disobeying me and getting into trouble"But I wanted to meet Eliza and Michelle.It's been two days since we last chatted with each other. Maybe if I go to Harem for a few minutes and come back, He won't know anything!I sneak out of his room, Run straight to the harem. Luckily nobody sees meWhen I opened the door of Harem, I saw Eliza. I was happy to see her and She too, We both hugged!Mrudulla: Oh Eliza I missed you a lot!Eliza: I asked about you yesterday, Are you okay? Did Iron Coyote hurt you or anything?She asked worriedlyMrudulla: No Eliza I am fine, He is not as bad as I thought he would be. He is very gentle and caring!The girl who was sitting with Eliza before I come here started laughing hard!" Why are you
✿Mrudulla✿He is here, He told me not to go out, He must be angry, Will he beat me?Now Eliza is also gone!Who will protect me?As his shoes stomped inside Harem, my heartbeat raised. He comes close to me and holds my Jaw tightly" What did I tell you? "I was too scared to say anything.He holds my arm roughly And drags me out of Harem!IRON COYOTE POV~When I went inside my room she wasn't there, I become scared. For the second time in my life, I was this scared. I thought someone took Her away, Someone did something bad to her! No, it can't happen to her.I run out of my room to search for her. My biggest suspect was Red Fox so I went inside his room but he was fucking some other whore. I went to Harem and saw my brother standing there. I wanted to slip away as I don't wish to talk to the one because of whom my Snow Flower died but the fear of losing Little Princess makes me step forward toward him.When I saw her inside the harem I sighed with relief but I should punish her so sh
ELIZABELLA'S POVHe's brought the dinner into his room that night. It's dark outside and I'm hungry, but I'm also confused. Cesar's sitting at the table in the far right corner of his room with his face illuminated only by the fire.I slowly walk to join him there, staring down at the plate of simmered, smoked meats and bread dipped in some kind of sauce. There's a goblet of wine in front of me. I look up at him and he just stares, waiting for me to sit.He picks up a chicken leg and bites into it. He looks at me again eyes fly down to my plate. My fingers skirt over the piece of bread and I lift it to my mouth, taking a small bite of it. It's not bad.When I look back at him, I find him staring straight at me again. My face grows red in the firelight. "You have not spoken to me in over an hour," he says between bites of chicken. "What's the matter?"I swallow the bread and sigh, brushing my hair behind my ear. "I want to know about that speech," I tell him. "I'm curious about it and y
He looks at me in astonishment before breaking into a smile."How did you learn so quickly?"I lean my cheek against my palm. "It's called, a lot of free time in Cesar's room with books.""You want to learn," he states. "That's something different.""Yes," I agree. "While I've got nothing else better to do while you lock me away in my tower for hours, I snoop and read your books."He doesn't at all seem bothered by the fact that I go through his books while he's away talking about the raids with his men. "You like to read?" he questions.I nod my head. "Yes," I say again. "I've always loved reading.""Book," he says in a gruff voice. "Liffatin. Can you repeat that back to me?"Liffatin," I repeat. "That's a beautiful word. You know, back in my kingdom there was a little shop called a library and itharbored many, many books. Some were sad, some were happy, some were full of action and tales of courageous princes and princesses, fictional tales of fire-breathing dragons and fairies and
I wake up in the middle of the night, a cold gust of air hitting my naked back. The back of my nightgown must have been unlaced somehow. I sit up in bed slowly, making sure not to wake him up.Except for the fact that he was not there beside me. I don't quite know why, but my heart begins to race, and my eyes search for him frantically in the dark. Where would he be in the middle of the night? Does he leave all of the time? I push the covers off of me and slide out of the bed. The fireis nearly dead, but I can still see around in the room. Cesar is not in the room. The door is cracked open slightly, but the hallway is pitch black. Where could he have gone? I grab one of the scented wax candles off of Cesar's jeweltable and bring it to the dying fire. I thrust it into the embers, trying to get it to light. But the fire's bright glow sinks into the logs before a spark can touch the tip of the candle. "No! It's not working" I hiss softly in the night. Before I know it, I'm surrounded b
I moan quietly and lean my head against the wall, letting myself go. I hear him grunt, then cry out a sticky white fluid that pours all over his chest. I turn away before he can realize I'm there and rush back down the hallway. I lay in bed waiting for him to return. I face the wall so thathe may not see my face and wrap myself in bedsheets. The door opens softly a moment later. I can see him out of my peripherals, wiping himself down with a wet cloth and sliding into bed,completely naked. He come close to me and kissed my cheek! I tried hard not to move but I shivers! I hope he didn't notice it. I hope he thinks it's just happened in my sleeping self.Guilt wracks my body. I shouldn't have been looking upon him, and I shouldn't have touched myself. But it felt so good to feel like that, to feel...sinful.I meekly begin to dress in front of him. His wandering eyes roam my body like a starved beast that has not feasted in a year. The red silks are what he's chosen for me to wear, alo
Cesar saw it but he just ignores his cousin as well as the other onlookers, riding out into the day. "You'll just have to see when we get there," he remarks. I frown and ride on ahead"Why do you ride fast when you don't even know where youare going?"I look over at him in wonder. "Well…perhaps I am urging you to move faster. The eyes of your men are unyielding; they look upon us both with a certain unwelcome watchfulness. I am not comfortable"With this, Cesar turns around and yells something at his men that's pretty much unintelligible to me. They jump a few feet into the air before turning on their heels and running off. I laugh; they look like a bunch of scared children that just got caught in the act of stealing a biscuit.He turns and looks at me, nodding his head towards the door. "Okay. Let's go." He digs his heels into Tsakar Dare's ( Horse ) black belly and speeds the horse off into the woods."H-hey!" I call. I nudge Rana Fashe's ( Horse ) belly with the tip of my leather s
