The Devil In Guise - Chapter 154

I sat on the bed shivering as the Emperor’s loud voice banged in my head. He was very angry I could tell from his voice. Prince Elvin was in trouble and there was no way I could help.

If I did not ask him about Queen Marlena, we would have parted ways with before the lion’s coming.

Now, he was going to be punish because of me.

Few minutes later, the maids came in to carry the dishes away but I told them that we were yet to eat.

I asked them when they brought the food and they told me before dark. This means the emperor waited for me for hours. The reason for his anger was justified. I prayed he should not do anything stupid out of anger. I was going to blame my self.

I stood and went to the window. I was tempted to open it but something stopped me. He might misinterpret me again.

No sound was coming from there.

I opened the window but there was no one standing there. I closed it quickly and went back to the bed.

Not too long , the Emperor walked in to the room. He placed a hand on his forehead head and threw down a candle stand with the other hand. Thank goodness, it’s was not light.

I picked a cup from the table and poured water in to it.

“please have some water, your highness” I offered. His looks scared me. My hands were shaking.

Instead of taking the cup from me, he held my hand and said “You should never make me this jealous, Ariadne. I wouldn’t hesitate to kill.”

I gazed at him. The Emperor meant what he said.

But, I did not plan to hurt anyone. I just wanted to know what happened to queen Marlena. “Forgive me, if I caused you any pain. It’s was not intentional.”

No response.

He stared at me without blinking his eyes. I felt uncomfortable. Cold shiver ran through my spine as he ruffled my hair.

His hand was cold, but I let him do what he pleased.

He brought his lips to my neck and rubbed them. I wrapped my hands around his waist tight.

( This was getting more interesting than I thought.)

The Emperor continued kissing my neck gently, so I closed my eyes to enjoy that which he did to me.

“I love you” He whispered to my eyes and I giggled. This was not the first he said I love you to me. I felt different this time, though. The words were coming from a jealous lover who has just been through the pain.

I massaged his back with my hands and he continue to kiss my neck. He did not stop. I could hear his breath.

The Emperor started loosing the ropes of my dress.

I wanted him to kiss my lips but he did not. It seemed it was prohibited.

Before I could say I love you too, he swept me off my feet and took me to the bed.

He laid me gently and loosed my dress. In no time, my dress was off and my naked body stared at him.

Just like I expected, he pulled his rope and then our bodies met for the first time in weeks. The fire was going to be quench so was the hunger we felt.

I was happy that no one interrupted us. Ever since Grandmother came back, privacy was no longer respected in the palace again.

She enters a room without knocking or announcing herself.

“What are you thinking?” The Emperor interrupted my thoughts. Was he talking to me ?

“Nothing your highness. At last , we are together without any one interrupting us” I replied.

He kissed my nose and then my lips. His tongue traveled through my mouth without stopping.

His hands caressed my breast gently…. But things suddenly changed. The sweetness I felt at the beginning was disappearing. Pain came and found it’s way in to our pleasure.

The Emperor became the devil , they said he was.

Painfully with tears , I squeezed the bedsheets and closed my eyes as I pleasured the devil in guise!

The Author’s POV.

Queen Texas sat on the floor closed to the Emperor’s chamber. She could not go inside because he instructed the guards not to let any one in. Not even his mother.

She cried when ever she remembered what dungeons looked like in the palace. The most horrible place to be was the Emperor’s prisons.

It was just last night , she warned him about Queen Ariadne. Even Baron told him to stay away from the Emperor’s wife. Elvin was stubborn and his stubbornness has landed him in to a trouble that might lead to their banishment.

“Stop crying” Queen Aslaug knelt beside her. “I don’t know why Sargon did that.”

“The dungeon is not a good place to keep a brother” Queen Texas said as she rested her head on Queen Aslaug’s shoulders. She cried again and again.

“That’s enough, you two” grandmother finally spoke. “You can spend the whole day crying here and Sargon will not care. We should go and see him.”

Queen Aslaug sighed. It’s seemed the old woman has not learnt her lesson yet. The Emperor forgave her this evening and she wanted to create another trouble for herself.

“Grandmother, don’t provoke him again. He is with Queen Ariadne.”

“That witch!” Grandmother exclaimed. She was not expecting her to spend the night with king again. “I wondered why Sargon has not realized that the witch casted a spell on him.”

“Mother, she is not a witch” Queen Aslaug corrected her.

Queen Texas stood up from the floor. With the help of queen Aslaug, they went back to the Harem. The women were awake . Most of them, grouped their selves as they gossiped.

Queen Vida and Alissa came to help queen Aslaug. They took Elvin’s mother to her room upstairs. Princess Morgana came as well.

“What happened mother?” She asked with tears in her eyes. Her mother was fine this evening, when she visited her.

“Your brother provoke the Emperor” Queen Texas managed to speak. “He sent him to the prison. He will spend the night there, alone in this cold.”

She broke down in to tears again, while Queen Aslaug consoled

“Why will he do that? And which of my brother are you talking about? Princess Morgana asked.

“Elvin. It’s a pity that he is going to spend the night there. None of my grandchildren listens to me” Grandmother said, bitterly.

“I will go and plead with him” princess Morgana said.

“Don’t waste your time. The guards won’t let you in” Grandmother told her. “He is with the witch.”

“A witch?” Queen Vida screamed.

“He is with Queen Ariadne” Queen mother said. She wondered what was going on with grandmother and queen Ariadne.

Did they met before she came to the palace?
