I was totally stunned.The place has a vast space compared to seeing outside the building. There are so many exotic decorations such as horns of different species of animals, expensive silks, and furniture. But what caught my attention most was the fountain in the middle of the room that had red liquid on it, flowing perpetually as it glimmered under the dim light of the torches inside the whole place.“Is that a—”“Yes, it’s a f*cking wine fountain, Lady Peacock. So let’s go inside!”My eyes widened at the vulgarity of Marian’s words. I have never heard him talk to me like that before. Maybe because of the place? I started to notice every woman inside as Marian and I walked into the middle of the room. I made a helpless short glance at Beta Emyr but he only bowed at me with a wicked grin on his lips as if saying ‘good luck’.I started to get worried so I shoved my hand from Marian to stop her from dragging me deeper into this place. My heart rammed against my chest when I noticed how
It has been two days since Marian and I attended that bizarre party Beta Emyr invited us to.I couldn’t get Penny away from my mind. Until I decided something that I believe would change her perspective in life.“Are you sure you really want this?” Beta Emyr asked, a small smile on his lips while looking at my serious face. I told him that I didn’t entertain the kind of pastime he offered me in that place and told him that I want to take Penny as one of my hand servants here in Headow Stronghold.“Yess. I have a feeling she really never wanted to work in that place,” I said to him after we discussed something about a problem in one of the farmlands on the west land of the Empire. We succeeded in working on some of the problems regarding the budgeting but the council never knew about my helping Emyr so all the acknowledgments about the success were all credited to him.I didn’t mind any of the recognition from the Emperor and his council though but Emyr knew he owed me something and t
“Your Grace—” I tried to protest. My breath ragged while I felt his warm hands smoothening my round, thick thighs. I am not sure if it was appropriate to do it in this kind of place, “I am afraid someone might see us here.”I felt as if I was burning alive with how intense his glare was. I missed him. I won’t get tired of screaming it inside my head. My tears fell from my eyes. I saw how the expression on his face softened. He reached for my face and felt his fingers wiping my tears, tracing them down my face, and then kissed my lips so gently it almost felt feathery.“Shh…” he hushed me and then embraced me tight, “I know you are confused about what is going on, Eodelle. I am trying to fix things on my own. I never want you to get involved in it. I would never put you in more danger.”“You are the Emperor, Aster. There is no one more powerful than you are…” I whispered to him, my eyes filled with perturbation, scared for his safety. I can feel the level of danger in the way he said
The path towards the west wing tower was dark.It is one of the parts of the palace that no people go to. It was like an abandoned place already, visited only to check if it needs to be maintained and fix something so as not to cause any accidents that would endanger the lives of the people in the palace.I stepped blindly as I ascended the stairs, my hands carefully holding onto the rough and cold brick wall. I can feel the wet molds formed on it, indicating that the roof must have leaks and holes and the rainwater gushes down the walls, creating minds and fungus on it.Not feeling well because of what happened between me and Aster, I'm still angry by the fact that he can never be mine no matter what I do. Now, I need to divert this anger to something useful and help the people I believe need help and that is Penny.I have this urge that I need to release her from the life she has in the brothel. A life she was forced to have because of what my father did to her family.Swallowing a
[EMYR’s Point-of-View]I stared at Eodelle’s curious face.I can tell she is just holding back her feelings but I can feel her eagerness to know more about Aster. After all, that is the reason why I make her climb up this sky-scraping tower.Smirking, I couldn’t help but tease this woman a lot. My plan of making her visit my brothel in the downtown city didn’t break her faith in Aster though. When I thought she was just the same kind as that nasty lady Marian. But all my guesses were wrong and lady Eodelle indeed is a respectable lady, too far compared to the monarch ladies I met in my whole life. She is just very exceptional and her pride is amusing.Her escape from death so many times that it makes me believe that she is indeed blessed by the Moon Goddess just like what the rumors said about the Wycliffes. That they are the Clan descended from heaven to prevent the Wolfnation from extinction.But Lady Eodelle is not the last of the Wycliffes and the whole Empire’s eyes are on her.
[EMYR’s Point-of-View]It is just so heavenly.I moaned softly as I felt the tightening of every muscle in my body, my toes curling, and the intense rush of tingling sensation and excitement overwhelmed all my senses. I wanted to squirm but she just won’t stop. She was so good… Oh, so amazing. I lost count of us sneaking inside the palace but it was so good I couldn’t get enough of it: her sweet, sexy lips, her curvy body, and her glasslike skin. These are just some of the things that I like about her. But what I love most is her passion for every second she does me. We were quiet. I wanted to moan. To let her know how good she is at what she is doing while s*cking me, moving her tongue around my c*ck while inside her mouth. Ah! She is indeed a goddess who knows how to pleasure a man. She knows every inch of my body. My most sensitive parts and she loves teasing them while I writhe in pleasure and ache, wanting to dig deeper into her and f*ck her like a wh*re.“F*ck… Uhh! I’m c*min
[EMYR's Point-of-View]"Just like what I promised,"I pushed the woman that Lady Eodelle has been trying to get out of my grasp.Penny turned towards me, her face confused and scared as she looked at me and Eodelle. Eodelle was standing calmly in front of me but I could see the pity in her eyes as she looked at Penny who was panicking, standing between us.We are at one of the hidden corners of the Palace garden. The sun was still high up in the sky but the huge, old tree gave a pleasant shade to protect us from the heat. Good thing that the wind was blowing, saving me from sweating like a pig in my blue royal coat. I pulled the neckline of my coat to let the air in as I waited for the two. I wish I can leave though but I cannot let Penny inside the palace until she gets to say yes to whatever Lady Eodelle wanted from her.Eodelle swiftly stepped towards Penny, her chin lifted up, her eyes stoic, not wanting Penny to think that she was the same girl masked in peacock feathers she met
[EMORY’s Point-of-View]With horror, I saw how Beta Emyr destroyed the door of my bedroom with his massive werewolf fist. I couldn’t believe he shifted to his werewolf form and went here trembling in anger. I lost control over myself when he insulted Penny and the kind of life she had that my hands flew on their own and slapped him full on the face. I didn’t expect it to happen but I did. And now, it looks like my impertinence will cost me my death.Even the walls around my door got destroyed. I sharply turned to look outside my window and the sky was red which terrified me. Is it sunset already? It’s just almost noon! I screamed at the top of my lungs, Why is the floor of my room quaking under my feet? The dust from the ceiling rained down on me while I tried to keep my balance as I leaned against the bedside table. I watched how Beta Emyr, in his werewolf form, glared at me with his crimson eyes. The lips on his muzzle pulled against his razor-sharp teeth. Blood-curdling snarls rip
