EMPEROR RICHARD'S POVI pulled her back as she's trying to lie down, her smug smile was immediately replaced with confusion.Why was she smug?Did she think I would not take my rights tonight?I pulled off her outer robes and her eyes widened in shock, I drew her up and stripped her with swift movement, leaving her in her transparent silk gown.She gasped and tried to shield herself, her face turning red.I smirked.She suddenly looks shocked, embarrassed and fearful.That calm expression of eagerness which she had at first has disappeared.I gently sat her down on the bed and stared at her delicious lips.I wanted to kiss her and never stop but if she's not a virgin, I will feel so disgusted and cheated afterwards.I'm someone that values sexual purity. I don't sleep around despite my status, so I expect the same from my wife.I slipped my hand into her cloth, gently caressing her thighs.Before I go further, I need to confirm if she is indeed untouched.The fact that she didn't want

RONA'S POV I shifted away from him as the sounds of workers going around cleaning the palace intensified. However, his hand encircled my waist and drew me back to his body. I felt so ashamed of myself. I had sex with my enemy, not just that, I enjoyed it a lot and begged him not to stop. He did it a few times through the night and even went for another round this morning, worse when he tried to pull away I had grabbed his waist and refused to let him withdraw. I had begged him to continue. The pleasure and the stupid enjoyment I had throughout the night blinded my sense of reasoning and I only kept asking for more, from my parents' murderer no less. I felt like running away and hiding myself in hell to cry my eyes out. I wanted to push him away, but he will find it strange, I can't blow my cover. I felt his fingers caress my belly as he placed a light kiss on my shoulders. Worse, I don't know what's wrong with Richard. He had been so repulsed when he got in here but after

RONA'S POVI sat on my bed and breathed a sigh of relief.That was so close.Thank goodness he was unsuspecting.He bought my cock and bull story of missing him.Miss him my ass!Miss an idiot who I'm making meticulous efforts to kill?What a joke!I just have to be more careful.My tears and the wife status, peppered with a little lie might not work next time.So I need to be more careful.He also seems suspicious of me.But thank goodness he still considered the wife bond, otherwise I would have been in the dungeons cooling off by now.He seems to have an attachment already.There was remorse in his eyes when he saw my tears.Now, I can work with this.If I can wrap him around my fingers, killing him will be a cake walk.I heard the door open and Annalise walked in."Where have you been? I came back and couldn't find you!" She said accusingly.I smiled warmly at her."I went to cause some mischief" I whispered with a smile."This is no place for mischief. This is not your father's l

I looked up at her in fear as she moved closer to me, taking slow deliberate steps."You are a witch with bad intentions, aren't you? You have been here just for a day, but you're already snooping around in such a precious garden, despite being told it was out of bounds. You sneaked in despite being blocked by guards. Alpha princess Erica, what's your mission in this castle?" She roared furiously, a triumphant smile playing around her lips as she tried to feign the righteous niece protecting her uncle.I always knew Olivia hated me at first sight, but I didn't expect she would go to the extent of using guards to trap me and cut off my escape."What's your mission here? You're here to steal secrets for spies, right? Who sent you? Was it your ambitious father? Or your greedy brother? Or was it your sly little brain urging yourself on? You want to be Luna and rule the wolfdom and its vast lands? Keep dreaming! You will not smell anywhere near that seat of power!" She said coldly and squa

EMPEROR RICHARD'S POVI sighed impatiently and looked at him."Just save her life. You can ask for any herb. Even if it's Immortal herbs, I will definitely provide it. I will also pay you handsomely. Employ all your expertise. I will reward you richly" I urged, trying my best not to shout.He shook his head and looked at me."You don't understand what I'm talking about. Of course, I know there's no herb in the universe which you don't have in stock, no matter how rare. I'm your servant, so payment can never be an issue, serving you is something I always do with pleasure and dedication" he said calmly, looking up at me."Then what's the problem?" I whispered, fearing the worst."She's almost dead! It's already miraculous that she's still breathing. Whoever the monster that did this to the princess is, they are inhumane and never intended for her to make it out alive. Each strike was lethal and brutal!" He continued, clenching his fist and sighing.My mouth opened and closed in fright.
