"May God Narairis bless your majesties with health and prosperity." Layla smiled at the King and Queen of Avesta before bowing down for seemingly the last time. A week had since passed and a delegation of soldiers with their emperor have come to receive Princess Layla.A gloved masculine arm with veins making a pattern was offered to the fairy who grasped it and made herself comfortable inside the imperial carriage of Ardos that would make a month long journey to reach the capital of the empire."Is that a gem from the necklace I gave you little dove?" Pale ruby irises that were looking further out of the window now clashed with the golden ones seemingly without any emotion before they regained their composure as the female smiled."Replying to your majesty, the heirloom was quite heavy thus I could not have the opportunity to wear it everyday so I took the earrings and asked a renowned goldsmith to have them carved into a pendant, I hope you will not be angry with me."The previous wo
WARNING 18+ A mansion filled with luxuries at the border town of Ardos was where the entourage stopped and the emperor was so furious that none tried to stop him as he got hold of his bride that was as drunk as him and took her to the mansion with strict command that anyone entering the mansion shall be beheaded. "P-Please....please its so hot." She was fed with a huge amount of wine so much so that Layla could not think straight, Icarus looked at those hazy irises without touching her for he wished to see her being a virgin for the last time. "Please help me." When she cluched his bicep with tears in her eyes the man had enough. He held her up and took her up into his bath. Ruby roses floated on the crystal warm water that has been poured into the gigantic bathtub made up of green quartz. All the types of luxurious bath oils and body scrubs scented with flowery and fruity smells were kept aside of the in a small tray as per the liking of the likes of emperor who had clutched a
The journey had not even proceeded for half a day after Icarus took Layla's innocence when a dark stallion with the crest of Avesta stopped the imperial carriage of Princess Layla. The person sitting on it seemed to be too familiar thus the soldiers did not attacked the intruder immediately.When the one he wished to see did not emerged from the carriage, Damien felt immense wrath thus he climbed down from his horse, opening the coach gate and the first thing he registered was deep carmine irises looking at him with some astonishment.This one time he had thrown all his senses to wind, he cared not what might happen to Avesta's citizens or what might occur in Ardos, hell he did not even give a damn if Everdale ducal house would be charged with treason and held Layla's wrist in an iron grip dragging her down the carriage."Duke?""Father......father please stop." the voice was too urgent as if she did not wished to be seen in such a condition."We are going back home.""My wife is not
The male when he had looked at the pale wrists that were bruised felt maddened with fury for those carmine irises were so pure that it made him lose the touch with reality and feel carnal thus he without any abandon had grasped them close to his lips and marked with his love bites, tracing and then licking over the skin like a predator."Do not cry ever again Layla. Do not cry until it is for me." The irises turned scarlet before resuming their original glamour of golden in a blink and Layla felt as if there was an illusion that she had seen. There was some sort of an obsession that he had with her, as if looking at her face but seeing past and visualizing someone else and feeling an undecipherable emotion for them.He did not asked questions and even pretended to be indifferent to her sorrows as if a barrier of glass separated their souls from one another when in reality the guards were brutally punished and he himself now guarded Layla.That was the last conversation they had after
Certain things occurred that first night when Layla came to the imperial palace of Ardos- firstly her chambers were tightly secured so much so that even the nobles that wished to make her acquaintance were refused any such requests by the emperor himself.Secondly her chambers were filled with most extravagant luxuries from all around the empire yet the most important of all these developments was that the marriage was postponed to a week later on the day of full moon on the founding day of Ardos."Your majesty crown princess, the high priest of the temple wishes to meet you, his majesty the emperor would also be there." The female about whose disastrous beauty the entire empire was suddenly talking about nodded without any knowledge of such rumors and was led to the emperor's chambers where an old man along with his student was sitting infront of Icarus.Adorned with pure violet robes he smiled kindly at Layla when she entered the room to which she returned the gesture."Please sit"
Warning: 16+ Mature"You entered my lair even after I forbade it, do you know the punishment of going against the emperor of Ardos?" At this moment those golden irises flickered dangerously as the male towered over the female that dared not look at him.Layla did not loved Icarus, did not possessed many dreams together with him yet knowing that when he looked at her he saw beyond her visage and maybe loved another woman was unthinkable and so heartwrenching painful that tears trailed down those light pink irises."Layla-" She held the sleeves of his cloak with trembling fingers and bowed a little as if the fairy wished that he could not see her ugliness, her weakness while crumbling down with unknown undecipherable emotions clogging her throat. There were innumerable whimpers followed by a voice that choked her throat."Tonight I want you to love me....only me, I don't want to know who is she...don't want to listen to anything....just love me." Even while living with Duke Valentine a
The servants were ordered to leave the crown princess's wings by the orders of the emperor, it was a façade that depicted the immense love of the sovereign for his queen and that his entire self was devoted to her when it reality Icarus had known that Layla would not enter the holy temple to get tied to his fate willingly.But even if she abhorred him she must be tied down to him and him only.The muscular stature embraced the female from behind as he clasped the hooks that bound the dark turquoise dress together on her delicate frame, callused fingers glided the skin of the spine as he adorned her, it was like he dared her to escape his seduction. Layla disliked every single thing at that moment yet she could not seem to resent his touch, her teeth sank into the plump pink bottom lip to stop a moan escaping her lips just like that with excruciating slow movements she was robed and embellished with gems from all over the empire.Her fingers possessed seven rings of opal and amethyst
The goddess was the supreme entity that was worshiped in the empire of Ardos and a union between a man and woman must be blessed by the eternal, all encompassing mother under all circumstances meaning that even if there was a war at doorsteps a marriage cannot occur if it was not done in the shrine.Empress mother of Zeyphyr clan- Queen Ciana and noble aristocrats of the empire were summoned by the imperial decree to the holy temple which was situated in the valley of beasts. It was said that the ancient temple was covered with thick lush forests infested by wild creatures and only when Ardos was formed did the temple also emerged.The monarch and his bride kneeled to the statue of the goddess as the holy priest asked them to take the solemn oath of life and death by slashing their palms and dropping their blood together in a vial that was at the end thrown into the fire that burned with its flames rising so high that it almost touched the ceilings of the arena."With the blessings of
