"My lady" I faint voice calls, but I am too exhausted to want to respond but instead sink in deeper into the soft and strangely solid mattress. "You need to wake up or we would be late" the voice continues. "Why don't you do something?" it asks and that is when I recognize the owner, I flew my eyes open just to stare at Bluebell soft features staring at my mattress in annoyance before her gaze shift back to mine.
"How are you" I hurriedly stand up to face her, but a soft groan startles me, I turn and to my dismay Caeruleus is laying down with a grin on his face while staring down at... I trace his gaze and awkwardly remove myself from him, I totally omitted the fact that I slept atop him yesterday and suddenly start blushing when last night deed comes crushing down my brain.
"I am fine, but we need to get ready to leave for Vinsmug or we will have to face some unnecessary encounter with the mountain spirits which is the last thing we want for now." she slowly helps me back to my feet and leads me towards a room. "Baram is taking his on the North side" she says before open the door and leads me in.
"What happen to you?" I ask after killing off my embarrassment while she helps me out of some of my clothes, she looked so pale last night that I thought she wouldn't be able to wake up, but as always, she does her, she doesn't stop to answer, and I can already guess what her response to this will be. "Do not tell me you are fine now because I asked what happened" better warn her than listening to one of her numerous ways of avoiding a question. She stops and turn to me with her head staring at the ground with her red hairs covering the front of her face, I slowly stride towards her and notice her trembling hands.
"He can't remember me Saltanat, he is not feigning or trying to hurt me but really doesn't remember who I am" she whispers with each word turning into cries, her shoulders trembles together with her arms and I instinctively hold her without grasping who or what makes her this sad. this is the first time I have ever seen her crying; at some point I began to feed the thought she was incapable of doing that with how strong she looked; guess I was wrong about her once again. She hugs me back with her cries increasing. "I travel after the war for him, freed his people, I even made a deal with my enemy just to find him..." she slowly sinks onto the floor still holding on to me tightly. I have never seen her like this before, strangely I feel the need to kill that said person and for the first time in my life, murder is the only solution I find to a problem. "I... I told him everything Saltanat, all of it but in return he called me a liar due to the perfect fact that he strangely remembers everything in his life... except me" she whisper-yells, her cries turning more aggressive, I try not to interrupt her scare that she might go back behind the wall she built. she told him everything? and he still harbors the audacity not to believe her?
"I think we should head to the bathing chambers" her muffled voice in between my legs proves that she has stop her cries. but I am not ready to stop just yet until I at least... this time around find a solution for my friend too. yes, she is my friend... my only friend if the truth is allowed to be told I just don't know why it took me this long. she sit up with her head still down in her best attempt to hide from me. is she shy or bothered? I reach my hands to both of her cheeks and make her face me, her pale blue eyes staring everywhere except my way, her brown cheeks cover in lines of tears.
"Let's go" I whisper with a smile, I knew she would eventually want to hide and that is fine with me, I guess she is the first one to ever teach me how everyone can't be like me. Her eyes widen at my approval, she must have been in debates of how to avoid my question and I don't really want to stress her any further, I help her up with me still not retracting the smile on my face and wait for her to lead me out when out of nowhere the wheels suddenly turns and I am now the one confuse when she abruptly hugs me.
"I must be the worst first friend you will ever meet, but I promise everything will be clearer when..." I do not let her finish and complete her sentence
"When we find out what happen with my Vires? it's alright you do what you need to do to always feel comfortable you do not have to stress out about telling me things you feel uncomfortable of, I will wait" I have always known she was a reserved person, always trying to help be never seeking for help herself. I just hope the day she opens up I will be of great help just as how she was to me.
"let's go, the water will sure turn out to be cold if we stay here any longer" she slowly breaks the warm hug and hold my hands in hers. "At some point I do think that if I was to tell you everything now, you will understand and not blame my actions but that will be selfish of me ,for you have a change heart in you and that's not how it needs to be done, that's why for you to understand and give a better judgment you need to know and remember everything while I just hope you never doubt the love I have for you" she murmurs, squeezing my hands in hers like it will help me understand what she is trying to convey, never doubt on her love? why would I ever do that? she walks through another door and into the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life.
"This is so beautiful," I can't help but marvel at the sight before me. I could have sworn the door I just walked through was leading to a room, but it turned out to be a garden—a garden with lush greenery sprawling as far as my eyes can see. A canopy of blooming wisteria hangs from above, their lavender tendrils swaying gently in the breeze, releasing a soft, intoxicating fragrance. Sunlight filters through the petals, casting dappled patterns on the mossy ground.
Vibrant wildflowers edge the garden with bursts of color—violet, crimson, and gold—as if the earth itself decided to play with a painter's palette. Butterflies flutter gracefully, their wings catching the light like fragments of stained glass, and a tranquil stream gurgles softly nearby, it's clear waters reflecting the vivid hues around it.
I take a tentative step forward, the sound of my footsteps barely disturbing the serene silence. My heart flutters. How can such a place exist, hidden behind an ordinary door? The air is warm, yet crisp with the scent of dew and petals. This feels like something out of a dream, an untouched paradise.
I whisper again, unable to contain my wonder, "This is so beautiful..."
"I know, right?" Bluebell whispers, her eyes brimming with wonder. "This belongs to the elves. They must hold us in high regard to go to such lengths." She moves closer, her fingers grazing a delicate wisteria petal, her touch filled with reverence. A rare softness appears in her gaze, revealing a hint of the childlike curiosity she often conceals beneath layers of formality and duty.
The air around us seems to pulsate with life, as if the garden itself is sentient, observing and embracing us. I look at Bluebell, her blue eyes mirroring the lavender shades of the blooms. A tranquil smile unfolds on her face.
"It's like a gift," she breathes out, her voice nearly swallowed by the whispering leaves. "As if they trust us enough to let us in on this secret."
A wave of tranquility envelops me, with Bluebell at my side. Her presence intensifies the garden's splendor, making it even more tangible. I reach out for her hand, and she responds with a gentle squeeze. She helps me out of the rest of my garment, and I shove her a surprise look when she also strips herself out of her and guide me inside the water, this is the first time she ever takes a bath with me even with the pleadings I used to sing back then. she enters first and I freeze noticing the white ink mixed on her brown smooth skin. it a white sword with a creature circling it with large wings spread out.
"You inked yourself?" is this why she always refused to bath with me? was she scared I will be displeased. without waiting on to her response I slowly walk to her. "Can I touch it?" I ask fearing she will back out, but she doesn't and gives me a nod of approval.
"I was born with it" she tells me after a moment perhaps letting me admire the feeling of the ink on her skin, I abruptly stop to stare up at her even while knowing she is not able to see.
"You were born with that!" I yell without intending to and she turns around with what I know is an awkward smile. "How?" I ask not giving her the chance to explain herself first, she opens her mouth to close it again.
"It's like..." she suddenly spits out blood and aggressively coughs then falls on her one knees inside the water while holding her one breast, I rush to her when I feel strong hand and soft fabric covering me I turn to see Caeruleus holding me in his hand but that is not what I need now Bluebell is in pain I turn to her when white smoke covers her and a shadow just vanishes with her.
"Bluebell!" I shout trying to get away from the king but his hold on me is as tight as the pain in my chest. why isn't he doing something? when the smoke disappears, he releases me.
"She..." I do not let him finish turn around and give him my first and hardest slap, his face turns to the left.
"You did nothing! they took her, and you just did nothing!" I yell at him; he turns to me with... a smile? the idiot is smiling when my friend has been taking away. I walk to him and slap him one more time while expecting the smile to disappear, but it just broadens. "What is wrong with you? they took her after she just recovered from what they did to her last night and all you do is smile" I breath out the anger and almost bust out crying for my friend and when he still stays like a statue in need of destruction I walk pass him, even if it means fighting and dying in the process I will find Bluebell, she was coughing blood when they took her. "I will do it myself then"
"And how will my wife do that" his voice stops me, but I do not falter away. I turn to him with the intension of insulting him with the most disgusting words I know of when his eyes trace me, I follow his gaze just to see how naked and open I was I instantly cover my private part a failure attempt to cover but with no success and just sink in the water. I didn't even realize I was, but I did feel something cover me a while ago, when I gaze up at him, he smiles wrapping himself in the fabric I thought was with me. "I knew my wife was a fierce woman when she wanted but to think I offended her this bad I had to receive two pairs of slaps in a single minute is saddening"
"You let them take her and you are still standing here doing nothing but smiling, you... ill-mannered... king" I hope you also feel my pain even if it is just minor.
"And who dared to take our little Blubell?" He asks back and all I want is to cut his mouth off to deprive him of that smile
"Those girls... what are you doing?" I ask when he walks towards me like nothing happened, I stare up at him sensing the danger and decide to swim away from him.
"Now I will ask you the same question, what are you doing? or are you swimming away from me? wife" he tilts his head to the side and lick his lips. "come" he stops and just stand still
"Why will I do that, you are here wasting my time when my friend is out there and in danger!" I swim faster desperately trying to reach the door when a hand carries me up by the waist. I instantly start squirming in his hold. "Let go!"
"She is with Baram" his words ultimately makes me stop the one-way fight and raise my head at him, he changes my position and carries me, so my legs are wrapped around his waist now face to face. "He sensed her weakened state and came over to stop you from asking her questions that will hurt her by taking her away so in conclusion dear half of mine, she is fined" he twirls around and walk back in the water. "Now let take a good bath together" he exclaims obviously happy for some reason.
"Then why didn't you say so in the first place?" I ask rhetorically leaning in his chess to hide my exposed body.
"I vividly remember one oh no two pairs of hand caressing cheeks a while ago" I blush, I still do not grasp why I am like this when I am with him and in today's check list not that I even possess one. "You know such slaps can be deemed as a crime against the kingdom, to suddenly slap you king this way"
"I thought I was the queen, and I slapped my husband not a kingdom" I whisper in his chess, he slowly removes the fabric around him and sink us both inside the hot water with me still around him.
"You finally understand hum? I am your husband not your king or your friend but husband or you can say...enemy, I wish you will understood that back then so we wouldn't have the trouble of me fighting against the twelve's creators just to have you back... I still wonder what was there in that piece of inorganic specimen you like so much about and to say..." I stare up at him confused as to whom his talking to. "You need not to worry about the past because I am your future now and it will always remain that way, I don't care who says what, you are a half of me" his gaze filters mine and we just stay there looking into each other soul. I am a half of him, and he will never part with him? all this time I have been thinking he hated the fact that he couldn't have the chance of choosing his own wife but here he is telling me am his half.
"You don't even know me that long and..."
"Let just say I know you and you know me but just forgot. I wish we wouldn't have to stress about all that and live our life the way we want, then again it will be selfish of me to put an end to something that will keep you safe in the future" he brushes my hairs at the back of my ears, and I raise my head to stare up at his pale skin. "Where did we stop yesterday?" my eyes widen at the sudden question, he obviously isn't serious! I still find it hard to forget what he did to my vagina his hands in there still feels hot when I think about it. "Where is your mind drifting? you dirty queen of mine I am asking about the lessons I know you want me and truthfully, I do too, but we need you more accustomed to where you are so tell me where we stopped" He kisses my shoulders and pulls me into him, even if I had an answer I forgot and the only way to escape this is with a kiss which I proceed to give, I slam my lips with his and repeat what he told me yesterday which is surprisingly the only thing I remember correctly from his teachings to which he doesn't waste any more time to deepened the kiss he slowly insert his tongue in my mouth while pressing me deeper into him, he rapidly takes the upper hand and soon the slow burning kiss turns aggressive and demanding. He seductively groans in my mouth, releasing both hands on me as if accepting I will hold on tight and roam around my body while one hand is teasing my nipples, and the other is in-between my thigh at the right spot and for some reason it just feels like my vagina has been on a waiting list since last night.
"It's dirty... ngh" I can't stop the sluttery noise from my throat and just release them, his hand goes in deeper into my core and I let out a gasp when he adds another finger. "It will tear off my..." I stop before inappropriate words passes through my lips; he breaks the kiss and lowers his head to my other nipple and sucks on it.
"Tear off your sweet little tight... oh how does Dacres's call this? your tight little cunt" he utters with my breast still in his mouth. " I think you are doing just fine" His voice is what turns me on so much that I sink in deeper, swallowing both fingers. my toes curl due the intense friction and he just keeps his pacing with a sadistic smile. "Has he ever made you feel this way?" the question filled with anger but determination when I fail to give a response, he removes his fingers.
"Why?" I protest not liking the sudden emptiness
"Give me an answer when I ask" what was the question? I was too high... oh
"No, I have never felt this way" I breath out avoiding the "he" since he dislikes it when I so much as think of it. he gives me a puzzled look like he is in deep conversation with himself or listening to something important.
"You have five minutes to cum and fifteen minutes to get ready," and with that he goes back to his business, cupping my nipples between his teeth and two of perhaps the same fingers in my... cunt. this time his pace in not only faster but rougher he pushes in so deep I drag my nails down his back. he bit down my left breast hard, let it rest and does the same to the other. his crosses his fingers inside my vagina and hit a spot that releases a lustful noise. " I like your moans" he whispers biting my nipples hard.
"Stop... something... its heavy, I need to hold it in, but I can't... please" I tell him when the buildup down my stomach start rising like it needs freedom, I squeeze my legs, but he keeps it in check.
"Let it out, all of it" he pushes in deeper to the same spot and my moans just gets louder, he bites down my breast and fingers me so hard that I can't hold it in and just collapse on top of him, clutching to him hard enough to match the explosion my body is in right now. "The low insect never let you cum?" He voices out and I can decipher if it's a question to me or to himself, but he does seem angry. After an uncertain amount of time, he finally helps me out, we take a warm bath with me still heavily red and him unbothered and when done we dress up each other and walk to the door but he stops to the door, and I give him a puzzle look he smiles before saying.
"Next time I will use my mouth deep in your cunt and taste how delicious your juice is and not even the creators will stop me from enjoying what's mine" he kisses both my cheeks and finally opens the door not giving me the time to compose myself from the lured words he just sprayed on my face. I manage to bring back my courage and walk behind him.
"You are late, and we have a problem" Baram's voice rings across the room we slept, and I rush to Bluebell when I spot her in one of Barams office attires but the only thing that matters now is knowing she is alright.
"I am fined, just a little blood lost" she immediately explains, her red hairs are tied up in a bun and Baram black and white military attire makes her look like a real office the only difference is the shoes since she is wearing sandals. "We need to leave now someone just betrayed us and let your mother know what we were about to do and now she is heading to us with some witches, but I think Aiz... Baram will better relay the information" As soon as she ends Caeruleus walks to us not stress or even angered but satisfied.
"Guess we aren't going to go to your mother since she volunteered to come to us by her own free will" he looks so amused that one will think he enjoys what is unfolding, but if mother is heading to us with witches doesn't that mean she is going against the country law of staying out of witches' sight. " You needn't worried she was already a traitor since the very beginning, and this will reduce our already tiring journey, let wait for my mother-in-law" he raises his hand, and a burst of soft light illuminate the room, and a tiny little creature emerge out of it.
"Master" A soft voice calls.
"Rakye" Caeruleus opens his palm, and the light goes to settle on top. "Open yourself we need your help" he says and the slowly dissipate and a little child staring at us on her four. she suddenly opens her eyes, and the room feels like its trembling but still a comfort.
"Someone has been angered, and she is heading straight here" her little voice says, and she flies to my direction I try to back away, but Caeruleus shakes his head, and I just stay put. "You finally married her master; she looks so pretty now, I doubt I want her back to how ugly she was" she sit on top of my shoulders and smiles at me before sending her gaze pass me and stare at Blubell, her eyes widen, she burst in yellow smoke and falls on the ground I try to catch her but the tiny little creature is now a grown up beautiful lady virtue in a long white gown and yellow bright hairs and on her knees I also stare back and forth from Bluebell to her utterly confuse. " Prayers and glory to the only Elixirs"
she stares up at both Baram and Bluebell giving them a mixture of fear and respect, Caeruleus walks to me and wraps his hands around my waist. "Interesting, isn't it? now let give your mother sometime"
