I find out that the wind magicians’ names are Elroy, Ami, and Nadif. They all came from Owusu and are trained in combat. However, it’s wind magic that they came to love due to its convenience for navigation. They are all fun-loving people. In fact, once the sun sets, they request me to return to my room, because they want to relax by drinking with Klevon. So, sweaty and tired, I ask a passing maid for a bath inside the room I share with Theo, but she says that it's already done and waiting for me. And that doesn’t bode well for me. Anxious, I peek inside the room. It seems to be quiet so I slip in. I lightly close the door and am about to get fresh clothes from the dresser when I see Theo crouching over documents at the study table. He shifts his attention towards me and orders, “Take a bath and eat your dinner, Kaiya. I will join you in bed later. Let me just finish these papers.” I raise my brows. He is acting as if we are still in a relationship. Nevertheless, I did eat my dinn
He strides towards me and suddenly, he lifts me on his shoulders. I giggle especially when I am being engulfed by his lavender scent. He didn’t speak. We are about to leave the room when I call after the wind magicians with a, “Let’s do this again tomorrow!” Theo slaps my butt as if scolding me. I struggle and grab at his shoulders, but he keeps me in place. “Theo…” I purr. He pauses but then continues walking the deck. There are not many people in it. I can only see one or two as a lookout. But I don’t care anymore, I am too intoxicated to care about the way I am being carried back to our room. “Theo…” I call again. He places me down on the ground with a curious look at me. “You had too much drink,” he admonishes. I grin at him, and suddenly, I leap into his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist and did the same with my arms around his neck. I feel like a baby, but instead of getting away from my hold, he wraps his arms around my waist and continues walking along the hallway. O
“Is the Owusu library the largest?” I ask Ami, while she is teaching me about navigation. Unfortunately, my mind keeps on getting distracted. I just found out that navigation is something I don’t enjoy. Right now, Nadif and Elroy are taking a break or covering up for Ami’s tasks, while she teaches me. According to her, it will be our ‘bonding’. I just didn’t know that bonding can be so sleep-inducing. “Nope. Right now, the largest library is in Orttenburg. Once we arrive there, you will see why.” “Then, why is Owusu’s library the most well-known? People from Owusu also take pride in it.” “Orttenburg library is the largest. But the Owusu clan has the rarest of books. They are also known to keep forbidden knowledge.” “But Owusu people are muscle-heads, right?” “Captain Klevon for one, is not just a musclehead,” Ami defends. “And you’ve seen Elroy. He’s not the usual, muscular warrior from Owusu. Nadif is a typical Owusu though.” “Your point is?” “Sometimes the Owusu clan will be
I move my hips and grab his manhood. Theo looks at my face as I guide him inside me. I am still sensitive, but I know that he needs it as much as I want him to. So, I let him enter me. At first, he is hesitant, but as I moan at the way he is being pushed inside me, throbbing and huge, he starts to thrust. I grab his head and he buries his face in my neck, while I grab at his butt and spread my legs wider for him. He starts to groan in pleasure and his pace becomes faster. Both our feverish bodies are rubbing against each other, making delicious friction. He releases inside and I make sure that all of him will remain inside. And it repeats multiple times that night. It’s as if our body will not tire of making love over and over with each other. More so, each act becomes more pleasurable than the previous. We are getting used to each other’s bodies again. Memorizing each pleasure point, ensuring that we give more than the other. It’s like a competition of who can give a lot more. Unti
It is already mid-morning when we arrive at the Kingdom of Duran. There are a couple of ships on the dock, most are as big as ours, and some are even bigger. Even on the deck, I can already hear the noise and activity of the people below us. From where I am standing, I can see some of the Kingdom’s landscape. The first area, close to the harbor points, are the establishments, close to the port. Behind those are the residential area and as I look beyond, I notice that the number of houses start to decrease, with some houses far from each other. The castle of Duran, on the other hand, is visible as it rises among the houses, miles away from where we are. Then I feel Theo grab my waist and pulls me closer to him. I am about turn my face to him when he kisses the side of my neck. I jerk at the touch and pull back from him. “Let me—” I start, but his arms only tighten around me and he sniffs my hair. I slap his face which confounds him. I use the opportunity to retreat a couple of ste
As we approach the town plaza, the music and raucous laughter are getting louder and louder. The smell of food is also in the air. It’s cooler now, but it is still warm, that a kilometer of walk makes me all sweaty, including my palm that is still tightly held by Theo. He gives me a beverage bought from a vendor with black hair, black eyes but a fair complexion. Then he buys a very irregular-shaped fried potato with spicy sauce at the top. It is also very delicious. Then he pulls me into another booth selling skewered meat that smells like lamb or chicken. It’s cooked over braziers of charcoal. It’s become very hot, that I removed my coat. I am covered with sweat and he grins at the way I look, probably wet and disheveled in the afternoon heat. So, he pulls me into a shaded area, my hand in his left hand, and his right hand holding the skewered meat. He sits on the bench and pulls me with him. “Are you not hot?” I ask, wiping the sweat off my shoulders. “I am,” he answers, then re
It’s already late in the afternoon when crowds gather around the challenge area. Theo stands close to me as if he is the guard instead of the other way around. Ami and the rest are standing a meter from us, probably because they are conscious to have the King standing so close to them. “Now, we are witnessing a new challenger! A female warrior from the Pitchford Kingdom who is stopping over for restocking their supplies!” “Who said that to them?” I whisper to Theo. “Probably someone from the harbor.” “Won’t they know your identity?” I ask. “Their focus is on you, so I am hoping they won’t find out about me.” I nod and shift my attention to the announcer. He looks thrilled and excited. The crowd is also getting thicker which means he will earn a couple from me. There’s no problem with that though, as long as I will earn from this and Ami and I can play around tonight. “Now, Miss Kaiya, if you will come forward so we can start already?” I step towards him, and he turns me around
“Should we really do that?” Ami asks as we run away from Theo and the others. We’d like to play and explore on our own. “You do realize that he is a King?” she adds. “I don’t forget that,” I say, especially when our difference in the status becomes a main sore point in our relationship. “So you know that he can force you to do something, especially when you are a citizen of his country?” I pause and Ami peers at my face. I smile sadly at her and say, “I don’t think he can hurt me more than I’ve been hurt already.” “Oh,” she says and keeps quiet. Then, we buy more snacks and even play some games and activities along the street. When we are drenched with sweat, we buy some Duran clothes and go inside a public bath to wash ourselves before making our way to the Ladies’ club that she is referring to. I am just glad that she didn’t ask more about me and Theo. Once inside the club, I note a couple of tables and chairs. Most of them give a bit of privacy. On our right, I see a hallway.
