Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

"I can't believe you agreed with him"I gave Aster a piercing look. He is on the other side of the bed, his face buried in the pillows just like always when we are forced to stay in one room. Aster wasn't in the mood to socialize with the other members of the Royal court of this Kingdom so he excused himself early and dragged me with him, not giving the King the chance to spend more time with me. I guess he is sensing that King Laurent Dawson shows interest in me and I want to assume he hates it by how he snorts whenever I smile back at the handsome young King."Shut up, Eodelle. It's my decision. I have to strengthen my power by choosing wisely my allies. I don't want Dawson to fight me one day. Just like he said, his Kingdom has more advantage when it comes to having well trained soldiers and good class weaponry. That is not the kind of person you want to be your enemy, you understand?""Are You sure it will be ok to bring him to Headow Stronghold? He will have more access to the

“Yes… Mark me, Aster. Make me yours…”I heard him groan as I whispered the words in his ear and lifted me with my legs wrapped around his waist without breaking our kiss. God, he is so hot! I can feel myself getting wet as he carried me effortlessly back to the bed. This time, I have no strength to stop him.Because I want him as much as he wants me right now.Alpha Aster laid me in the middle of the bed gently. His lips went down to my jaw, to my neck, and impatiently, he pulled away and looked me in the eyes. His dark desire made me tremble under his possessive touch as he smoothed my thighs with his big hands.“Take off your dress, Eodelle,” he ordered, his low, sexy voice just so sexy in my ears, “I want to see you…”I pushed myself up and gazed at his eyes while I pulled my nightgown up. I made it extra slow because I wanted his eyes on me until I was sitting in the middle of the bed, naked and nervous. My healthy br**sts bounced teasingly after I took off the thin fabric. I lowe

It's very wrong timing indeed.Cecil advised that I don't have to accept the princess' invitation but I can't say no to a person who just smiled at me so cheerfully. I can feel she is a genuinely nice person so I want to know if she can be my friend in this place. And I mean in case I need a friend if something goes wrong and I need to have allies to help me when the time comes that Aster grew tired of me being her concubine.The idea made me sad though. But it is the reality that I have to face. Just like how he hated the word love when we first discussed it, I don't think Aster cares about any person at all. Maybe I am not good at socializing with people but I am good with my intuitions and how to read people's emotions and intentions. Now that Aster already got what he wanted from me, I won't expect any more special treatment from him. I just have to prepare myself for the worst, considering that I am of no value to him anymore. But then I remembered I am a Wycliffe. And the bl

“Eodelle!”I glanced a little behind me and saw King Lauret Dawson approaching. He was alone and he was wearing only a simple coat which surprised me because most of the time that I saw him, he always looked so regal with all his furs and expensive tunics with hose, leggings, and breeches. Today, he is only wearing a simple black cloak with black trousers and his long, blonde hair is tied tightly behind his back which accentuates more his clear blue eyes.His steps are slow. Perhaps, all his duties for today are already finished, unlike Aster who is still having meetings with the noble merchants of this Kingdom and still negotiating with them about the goods that they can offer in the main city Empire. To be honest, Aster doesn’t have to address the issue on his own and make an appearance in that kind of meeting but he insisted. And I presume he is trying to learn and observe what kind of people the Empire is dealing with.He is too hands-on for an Emperor.“Your Grace,” I curtsied in

During the dinner, My mind just couldn’t focus on the foods no matter how scrumptious they look because I can feel the King’s eyes staring at me with a small smile on his lips. It made me nervous that Alpha Aster might think differently about Laurent’s behavior and I never want their friendship to be ruined just because I failed to obey his order not to get too close to the man. But King Laurent is a gentle guy and I don’t see anything bad about talking with him. After our secret visit at the riverbanks this morning, he made sure that the Eunuch would never tell anything about what happened to Aster. I felt bad that he had to threaten my personal guard though. To be fair, He gave the Eunuch a bag of gold for her silence and the Eunuch gladly took it with a smile on her face.Nothing can’t really be bought with a bag of gold.I just stayed in my room the whole day thinking about the riverbank and its beauty. I can’t also erase the King’s sweet smiles in my head. It was the very first
