Chapter 869: Comfortable...

Sylmeria glanced at Eira and spoke "Come, Eira, sit with us. The table is set for family, and you are part of it."

Eira's fingers curled into the silk of her robe as she felt the sting of red handprints on her ass cheeks.

"I'm not hungry, Mother." Her stomach betrayed her with a low growl, but the thought of lowering herself onto the chair with a burning ass felt like torture.

Sylmeria's eyes narrowed "Eira. You will sit. The Honoured One has forgiven your earlier outburst; do not compound it with disobedience."

A deep flush crept onto Eira's face as shame and fury warred beneath her skin.

She took one stiff step, then another and her silk robe caressed like fire against her tender, swollen flesh.

'It still hurts...'

Eira reached the empty chair beside her mother.

She lowered herself inch by agonizing inch with trembling thighs as the cool bench kissed burning skin.

"Huff..." A sharp, involuntary hiss escaped through clenched teeth as her full weight settled.

The sting flared outward in waves, making her curl her toes against the marble floor.

Across from her, Zhao Tian lifted a slice of pear to his lips with a serene expression as though he noticed nothing.

Eira glanced at him, and the small smile on his lips made her anger brighten further.

She picked up the silver fork with trembling fingers, and each small shift of her body reignited the sting, but she forced herself to remain seated with a straight spine.

Zhao Tian's voice drifted across the table, "The moon-pear is sweetest when shared. Try it, Miss Eira."

Her eyes flicked up, meeting his eyes for a moment before dropping to the plate.

She speared a slice, brought it to her lips, and bit down, but the sweet juice did nothing to cool the fire within.

The fork trembled in Eira's grip as she forced another bite of moon-pear past her lips.

Zhao Tian set his cup down with a soft chime, "Miss Eira, you seem unwell. Is the seat not to your liking?"

Eira's spine stiffened and she glanced up at him.

Sylmeria's gaze flicked to her daughter and noticed that she was sitting weirdly, but she didn't comment and continued to eat her food.

"I'm fine," Eira muttered and stabbed a silverleaf sprig with more force than necessary, the fork scraping the plate.

Xia Shenyi tilted her head and looked at Eira "You're flushed," she said softly. "Perhaps some star-mint tea would help?"

Eira's cheeks burned hotter, her thighs pressing together beneath the table.

Freya coughed lightly, hiding a smile behind her napkin "Star-mint tea does soothe the nerves."

Zhao Tian leaned back slightly, "Or perhaps a cushion... for comfort."

Eira glanced up at them and spoke "Thank you for your concern, I am fine."

...

On their way to their room, Xia Shenyi was hugging Zhao Tian's arm and with a chuckle, she asked "You did something to that Eira, didn't you..."

Upon hearing this, he smiled and pinched her cheek "Lets go back to the room, and I will tell you."

She nodded her head with a giggle.

"Honoured One..."

At this time, they heard a voice from behind, and turning around, both of them saw Eira walking towards them.

Reaching them, Eira glanced at Xia Shenyi for a moment before turning her gaze to Zhao Tian "I need to have a word with you... alone."

Xia Shenyi smiled in amusement and turned to Zhao Tian "I will wait in the room."

She leaned forward and kissed his lips before walking past them to the room.

Looking at Zhao Tian, Eira spoke "Honoured One... about the thing you did in the lake, let's keep it between us and don't tell others."

Zhao Tian smiled and replied in a teasing tone "Hmm.. but I was thinking about saying it to your mother about how your daughter attacked me and I had to discipline her."

Eira's lips twitched in frustration "That's not disciplining... you.. you are just a pervert, spanking my ass like that."

Her gaze narrowed "For being an Honoured One, you are just a lecherous pervert."

Pervert?

Before Eira could react, his body blurred and in the span of a heartbeat, he was behind her.

Raising his hand, he pushed her gently.

She stumbled forward, losing her balance, and he bent her over with a fluid motion as she instinctively placed her hands against the wall.

Her robe rode up slightly, exposing the curve of her thighs and her ass was lifted towards him.

Remembering the position she was in, her eyes widened "Wait-"

Zhao Tian raised his hand with his palm open, hovering just above her.

Plah!

"Haan-" Eira's body jolted as the spank reignited the heat on her cheeks.

Her ass jiggled beneath the robe and the fabric did little to dull the impact.

The fresh mark bloomed beneath the silk reigniting the heat that had never truly faded.

"Am I a pervert?" he asked in a low tone, resting his hand lightly on her hip, steadying her trembling body.

"Haa..." Eira's fingers scrabbled against the wall and her breath came in ragged gasps.

Her green hair spilled forward, curtaining her flushed face and her pointed ears twitched with every pulse of pain and heat.

Plah!

Another spank, but this one lower, catching the sensitive curve where thigh met cheek.

"Nngh~!"

Her thighs pressed together in a desperate attempt to quell the coiling warmth that warred with her outrage.

Zhao Tian leaned closer and whispered against her ear "Still think I'm a pervert, Miss Eira?"

Her chest heaved "You… you are."

Plah!

Another sharp spank and the impact sent a ripple through her flesh. "Haa~!"

Zhao Tian's hand rested lightly on the curve of her ass and he gave it a smooth squeeze, feeling its plumpness "Careful with your words."

"You… are a pervert."

Plah!

Her fingers clawed at the wall, nails scraping faintly, leaving tiny marks on the polished surface.

Zhao Tian's hand squeezed again, firmer this time as his fingers sank into the plush flesh. "Still so sure?"

Eira's breath hitched, a fine tremor running through her thighs and her knees threatening to buckle.

Plah!

"Ahn~!"
