The Warrior And His Emperors Navigating Life
Life was strange. Married life was stranger. Adharva woke up to see Eloy already awake. It was either him or Eloy who wakes up first and he was more or less sure that the day Mithraos wakes up first, pigs would fly.It was the first full court sitting after the wedding. Eloy will also sit with them. He knew there will be conflict of interests. But it will work out, maybe.For now, he looked at his one husband in the bed and then at the other who was at the door having shooed off some maid to bring in their morning drinks himself, politely of course. If he is not polite to servants, he wouldn't be Eloy.This was a regular thing now. Eloy guarded their quarters with as much passion as he himself does. Never lets the helps into the quarters.He took the tea and then they both eyed Mithraos. The man must have sensed the smell of tea, he stirred. "Am I an exhibit?" he asked grouchily as he sat up and took his tea."Not yet. If you sleep in a similar manner during the wars, maybe," said A
The Warrior And His Emperors Danger, Lurking In The Corners
It was unexpected, really. Who would expect the emperor to be attacked on his way to the sun temple. It was not that Mithraos wanted to go. Eloy did. Adharva refuses to enter temples and thus Mithraos decided he will accompany their one third to the temple. Eloy had bowed down to touch the idol when an arrow struck Mithraos.Mithraos stood firm as he threw his knife at the offender. The guards were clearing them out of the temple as others grabbed the attacker.Eloy was panicking. He never panicked in war. But here, he was. He just looked at his emperor as they rushed back. The healers saw to his wounds.----------Adharva was going through royal scrolls when the guards rushed in."Your highness , Emperor Mithraos was attacked," said the guard.Adharva felt anger thrum in his body as he rushed out. He saw Mithraos lying in the healer's table as Eloy stood motionless. He reached them and touched Eloy who turned and placed his hand gently on Adharva's chest."Your fury won't help us now
The Warrior And His Emperors What Does An Apology Entail
Adharva woke up when he felt Eloy's hand on him. "Your highness, it is late. Please join us for breakfast," said Eloy as he picked the robe for Adharva and brought it. The man sat up and wore it and took the tea from him."How is Mithraos?" asked Adharva."I think he is in pain. He will die before admitting it," said Eloy.They both reached the dining area. Mithraos looked up. His and Adharva's eyes met. All sat down and Eloy served the food. They all silently ate it.Eloy looked at Mithraos who stubbornly remained silent."Let us deal with the culprit first thing," said Adharva on his feet. All three walked towards the healer's chamber.Adharva and Mithraos were trailing behind as Eloy rushed to ensure that the man was properly tied up, lest he try to attack the emperors."I was angry, Adharva. I shouldn't have said that," said Mithraos slowly. Eloy did not turn even though he heard the conversation."You were right, it was my fault. I should have been more careful about your securi
The Warrior And His Emperors A Declaration
Shikhar and Rishi breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing all three unharmed. Later,Shikhar retired to his chambers. Rishi meanwhile enlisted the help of the rest of his family to set up a declaration. He wrote it down overnight and called an emergency court meeting the next day.Shikhar was surprised to see a full court meeting the next day and looked at Rishi in askance. The man simply looked back. "His Highness Hrishikesh Malvan has a declaration to make," announced Adharva.Shikhar narrowed his eyes.If Rishi was supporting the kids in something stupid, the man was going to be in for a nice long lecture from him-"My people, as the family head of the ruling Malvans, I have never focussed on my personal life properly in the early period. I had wronged someone thus, with my callousness. It is no secret that I love Malvan Warrior in Chief Shikhar Vanshi. He owns my heart, my pride, my soul and everything there is. When my parents died, I was 15. Shikhar had brought them up when
The Warrior And His Emperors Courting
Shikhar found Eloy while he was busy with setting the robes for the emperors. He liked to do it himself and refused to let the maids inside their quarters for anything.Safety was a major concern and he, he secretly liked doing it for them. He looked up to see Shikhar."Apaa," Eloy beamed."His Highness tells me that you are the person who advised him," said Shikhar, his face imperceptible."That man cannot hide anything from me. I- I just wanted to thank you, Eloy," smiled Shikhar. Eloy sighed happy that he did not anger apaa.Shikhar hugged him tight and that was that. "Now I need your help to set up the wedding. Samar will join you," said Shikhar."You gave him your -"Of course, no. I- I have rarely seen his highnesses romantic side. Let me just treasure it as it is," said Shikhar with a small smile on his face."As you wish Apaa," said Eloy.-----------Samar and Eloy had fun planning the wedding. He was not as close as he was to Shikhar with Samar before this. However, planning
The Warrior And His Emperors High King
Eloy did not know what it means to be a High King. He really had no idea about his Queen mother's duties before she died. Apparently there were many."Apaa, I am of no royal heritage. Will the people accept-"I am no royal either, Eloy. Royalty, it is not in the blood, but in the attitude. You handle them well and they will bow before you, listen to you," said Shikhar.Eloy nodded."You will join me, won't you?" "If you wish it. I always find such political meetings boring. But I can aid you," said Shikhar."The family head's duty-"You are the family head, Apaa. I am your family member. No matter my position, that will never change. If you don't agree with a decision, it will not materialise. That can't be changed. Just because the emperors are married now doesn't change anything," said Eloy."I have been telling him the same. I am glad you are trying to talk sense into him," said Rishi.Shikhar looked at Rishi who gave a small smile and brought Shikhar into his arms. Shikhar nodded
The Warrior And His Emperors Civil War- In The Bedroom
The silence was deafening in their bedroom. Adharva shed his clothes and joined his husbands in bed. There was space between Mithraos and Eloy."You should listen to what he has to say for himself," said Adharva as he pulled the comforter over the three of them.Eloy looked at Mithraos. On seeing Mithraos' face, Eloy felt bad."In all honesty, I was not trying to upset you," said Eloy running his hand through his husband's cheek, looking at the red rimmed eyes."What you said is true. I deserved that and much more. I - I knew you would be torn apart by the wolves and I - I let it happen. I always used to justify the distance thinking you are a royal and living that life. Why would it matter if I am close or not? And then, you left it all. I did not even know how to come to terms with that. I am truly regretful of the act, El," said Mithraos.Eloy looked at him."I know.""Will you call me Mithra again?" Mithraos blurted out. He missed being called Mithra by Eloy. He missed knowing wh
The Warrior And His Emperors A Wedding
Rishi looked at Shikhar as he offered him the eleventh courting gift. It is the bangle worn by Queen mothers of the erstwhile Kingdom, now Empire.Shikhar just stared at it. He felt his eyes prickle and then looked at Rishi who extended his hand and pulled Shikhar close."Mother would be very happy that it is you whom it belongs to now. She approved of you, very much," said Rishi. Shikhar just hugged his man tight."Will you wed me?" asked Rishi his eyes met Shikhar's."Yes," said Shikhar smiling. They kissed hard."I don't want to wait anymore," said Rishi."I don't either. I have asked our children to do something about it," said Shikhar with a small smile."You are a force to be reckoned with, my love," said Rishi, running a hand through Shikhar's cheek.Shikhar smiled as he pressed his face with Hrishikesh's.----------The wedding took place in the Sun temple. Only the family was present. Shikhar was wearing a white robe while Hrishikesh was wearing a silver robe. They sat side b

The Warrior And His Emperors Epilogue
Eloy watched amused as Mithraos and Adharva rolled on the ground. The cover is that they are fighting and the winner comes out the best warrior. Eloy knows it is to entertain him because their little prince had been playing a war victory dance on his kidneys. He is also getting horny. These men were weird and Eloy knows it is a sort of foreplay. He is also weird because he likes it. Both joined him soon and wrapped their arms around him. Little Aeneas was crawling on the floor next to them and all three uncles watched. Aeneas's eyes were fixed on the little bundle Dhruv was holding against his chest, showing the baby off to Aeneas. Ekalavya and Samarth's son Daven, named after Samarth's father Davenor is now one month and ten days old. Daven was watching with wide eyes as his older brother crawled near him. Samarth sat there leaning on Rishi and Shikhar who were both smiling. Ekalavya himself was sitting next to Rishi, occasionally talking about some of the law and order issues. Ya
The Warrior And His Emperors Theirs
Eloy was overseeing the preparations in the kitchen. He loved spending time with the cooks and learning new things sometimes. He also spent time training with his husbands who never challenge him. He thinks it is amusing because the men think they will lose to him. He has more belief in them. He went over and checked the pie. The smell became too much and he rushed out with a need to vomit. He vomited in the garden and his husbands who were in a meeting with councilors in the outdoors saw him and ran over. They held him and Mithraos rubbed his back as Adharva ordered for water and healer. "I am fine, really. Stop fussing over me," he said gently even as he leaned back against Mithraos. Adharva wiped the sweat off his face and they took him to the nearest room. He let them lay him down and was exasperated as both sat next to him. Mithraos took the handheld fan from the maids and waved it himself. Adharva made him wash his mouth and drink some water. The healers arrived soon after tha
The Warrior And His Emperors A Political War
Rishi smiled as he helped Shikhar lean on him. Then, Shikhar moved his tunic and let their son latch on. Both men looked at each other in awe. " You are magnificent. I have no words to describe what you did today," said Rishi, his eyes still damp."Don't cry. Your highness, I can be magnificent only for a magnificent man. And you are magnificent, magical even."I can only hope that you never realise I am just a common- ordinary man," said Rishi. "You are foolish sometimes, but it is foolishness born out of love and I can only adore it. When not foolish, you are magnificent and even in your foolishness you are my knight in shining armor. My highness, we finally have this- everything," said Shikhar with a smile. "We do and I must thank you for everything. Every moment of happiness in my life, love, I owe it to you," said Rishi. "And I you," said Shikhar."I love you," said Rishi."I love you too, Rishi," said Shikhar."We must name him," said Shikhar after a silence that stretched o
The Warrior And His Emperors Birth Of The Heir
Dhruv smiled as he chased the calves across the grazing land. It was early morning and he was in the cow pasture of the palace. He love the animals here. Yagni knew where to find him when he gets back from early trainings. Sure enough, his husband stood there with a smile. Dhruv felt himself blush. That rarely happens but Yagni can make him go all shy with a look. Yagni embraced him, not minding that the staff were watching. "All sweaty," said Dhruv, pressing a kiss to his cheek."I can always go bath," smirked Yagni."Don't you dare," said Dhruv and brought the man's arms around him as they stood and watched the cows graze. ----------Ekalavya stirred first. Samarth was asleep in his arms. He bent down and pressed a kiss to Samarth's forehead. He opened his eyes and Ekalavya watched as his beautiful face split into a grin. Samarth looked at his stomach which now houses the heir to Karivaayi throne. Their child. "I never thought I would have any of this till the day my father ask
The Warrior And His Emperors Recovery And Confessions
When Eloy was finally awake, it was morning next day and the emperors sat by his side. Eloy gave them a small smile. "I am fine. See, there is nothing wrong," said Eloy. Both men just returned the smile and couldn't stop the tears. Eloy comforted them and asked the men to join him in the bed and they did so without question. "Does Thaveri still stand?" asked Eloy teasing them both."They should feel lucky that we are not burning them down yet," said Mithraos. "We can't do thinks like that. No matter how angry we are, diplomacy is key in such a matter or the enemies will unite," said Eloy gently. Adharva then told him about what was done to the attackers and the message sent to them. They decided to wait till Shikhar gives birth before moving an inch on the issue. They did not want to trigger anything. They planned to send Shikhar, the baby and Rishi to Karivaayis before making a move. ----------------Eloy smiled as he looked at his husbands. Both were asleep. He wiggled out of
The Warrior And His Emperors Passage of Time
Samarth stood gazing out onto nothing in his garden. Yes, his garden. That is what Ekalavya calls it. He misses his family. He has made a home here with his husband with the added bonus of a father and another brother. Life was really good. But he knew he will always miss his brothers and brother in laws when away. There is no stopping it. He felt two very familiar arms wrap around him and Samarth leaned back into the familiar warmth of his husband. "Are we missing home?" asked Ekalavya wrapping him in a protective hold. "This is my home- what we are making together. I miss the other part of my family and land, yes," said Samarth with a small smile. "We will be visiting soon," said Ekalavya."I know. I just - you know I have never stayed away from them for such a long period," said Samarth.Ekalavya looked at him and wiped his eyes. Samarth froze because he did not realise that he was crying. He felt like a child at that moment and he just hugged Ekalavya tight and the hug was ret
The Warrior And His Emperors Building A Life
Adharva smiles when thinking about that night even two weeks after the said event. They were back in palace and Adharva was walking dowln to meet his husbands in the garden. They have developed a habit of debating new legislations between them before bringing it to the court. This way, they will have reached a common ground. Adharva watched somewhat fondly- no- with extreme fondness as Mithraos did Eloy's hair. He cannot believe that they have gotten so close. Frankly, he used to doubt his place amongst them. But now, almost six months after their wedding, he doesn't have any doubt. They are his as much as he is theirs. Both looked up and saw him. Eloy gave an open smile while Mithraos just raised an eyebrow, typical. He loved them for it. Love- well, better not to think about such silly aspects. He was not going to embarass himself by saying that word. He joined them. Eloy leaned closer to him, not shy anymore to initiate contact. Mithraos just rolled his eyes but there was a smal
The Warrior And His Emperors War At Night
The preparations began. Eloy over saw the packing of necessary potions and medicines to be taken to the war front. All submissives who were warriors were give the precautionary contraceptive medicine. It will keep them infertile for the next 6 months. It is very important while on wars, especially when soldiers get up to all sort of activities when the heat of war sets on cold nights. It is mandatory in all armies whether or not you intended to have sexual intercourse. Since Eloy took one only five months ago, he did not take a new one. It is not healthy to do that so soon. They were soon ready to leave. His brother will be sending help and he was glad for that. This is not a 'war' in the truest sense of the world, but more of an invasion. Still, they needed all the possible help. -------------Mithraos and Adharva were walking to their room together looking for Eloy and they found him in the process of combing his hair and both stopped, gazing without shame as they watched. Eloy
The Warrior And His Emperors Good News And Enemies
The journey back home went without any issues for the two Emperors and their High King. They settled back to life at the palace. All three were going through some documents when Rishi and Shikhar came to see them. All three were on feet."Sit down," said Shikhar exasperated. They obeyed without hesitance. "There was something we planned on sharing with you before Samarth's rather quick wedding. Well, also we need to be sure that it was going to happen," said Rishi. All three looked at each other, worried. "You are scaring them. It's a not a bad news. I am- I am pregnant," said Shikhar with a small smile. All three gaped."That's excellent," said Eloy beaming. "Great news indeed," smiled Mithraos. Adharva nodded. He looked overwhelmed as he looked at them both. Both gave him a knowing smile and Shikhar got up and placed his hand on Adharva's head."I feel stupid for feeling jealous of my own nephew," said Adharva and snorted, trying to brush off how he was feeling. "Look here Adhar
