Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son

Seren continued reading where the Prince and Princess got married and how both the kingdoms were happy with the marriage setting. The prince brings the princess to his kingdom after a grand wedding. 

Then the story moved towards the setting of the wedding night where the princess was being prepared for it by her servants. The princess looked beautiful in the pictures drawn where she is sitting on her wedding bed. 

"Wedding night?" Seren remembered, "This is what His Majesty was talking about. Now I will know what they do on the wedding night." she muttered to herself.

Marie, who heard her Queen mumbling, once again got buried in embarrassment and prayed in her mind for her Queen to not ask her any more embarrassing questions where she had to disclose her private information. 

Before reading further, Seren looked at the pictures where it showed the prince approaching the Princess and how they started their intimate act. In one picture it showed the Prince was about to remove the robe that the princess wore.

Seren skimmed through the images, that ended with the Prince and Princess in bed indulging in an intimate act where they both had no clothes on them and the princess' face was all flushed which showed a tinge of pain on her face as the Prince lay on top of her parting her legs away.

Seren gulped as a shiver passed through her spine to give goosebumps all over her skin. 

'What are they doing?' she thought and decided to read the story to understand it. She could feel her heart beating faster as she felt anxious seeing those pictures. Though she didn't understand anything, as a natural instinct she found it something to be wary of. 

Marie, who was standing at one side a little away from the study table, noticed her reaction and passed a glass of water to her Queen, "Have some water, Your Majesty."

Seren accepted it quietly as after seeing all the intimate pictures, her throat felt dry and the anxiousness made her feel fuzzy. 

With her hands trembling, she flipped the pages of the book to read further. She read each and every line carefully as it was full of erotic stuff where it explained the bodily reactions of a man and a woman.

Seren felt her cheeks heating up and her body felt weird. She read a few lines that she couldn't understand what it meant. 

[He entered her gently as she felt the crisp pain that made her cry as the tears rolled down her eyes. She felt her inside full as he continued to move slowly, caring for her if she was hurt.]

'What is it? What did he do? Did he bite her?' 

Seren suddenly had so many questions. It was an adult book where normally anyone would know what those lines meant and there was no need to show in pictures what was happening. Those pictures only showed a man wrapped between a woman's leg as he kissed her and caressed her body.

[Soon she felt comfortable and assured him that she is alright and he moved with all his might to make her wither under him. After a long time, both reached the peak of their ecstasy and he collapsed on her. Both of them were panting heavily with their eyes closed as their sweaty bodies still remained entangled with each other.]

Seren, who was already affected by seeing those pictures and reading the description, opted to drink more water as she thought, 'What exactly did they do to feel like this? But why am I feeling like this? Suddenly everything feels so hot. I am no longer feeling cold.'

Seren felt her breathing was still shallow even after finishing reading all this and she was feeling something strange in the lower side of her abdomen as if there were butterflies inside her. She clenched her legs together and didn't feel alright at all.

She touched her cheeks which felt like they were burning with heat and closed her eyes as she instructed, "Marie, I need more water."

Marie refilled the glass with water and Seren drank it. She felt a little better and decided to stop reading. It was already too much for her to understand what was going on in the book and why she was feeling so strange suddenly. 

Just then Eva returned to the study and bowed to Seren, who looked dazed. She looked at Marie and Marie shook her head signaling her to not ask anything, and Eva was smart to understand. She could relate Seren's condition to when she had read such a book for the first time and Even Marie could understand it very well. 

"Lunch is ready," Eva informed Marie. 

Marie looked at her dazed Queen and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to have lunch? It will make you feel better."

Seren nodded but then looked at Marie. Marie didn't get the right feeling about it and she waited for her Queen to talk as she held onto her breath, being ready to bury her under embarrassment once again.

"Marie, did you do all this on your wedding night?" Seren asked, looking at her as her eyes anticipated to get the answer from her. 

Eva kept quiet as she looked at Marie with her own cheeks turning red. 

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty," Marie replied. 

Seren just nodded but to Marie, she was sure her Queen was up to asking something more. She had enough of feeling embarrassed for a day and said, "Your Majesty, food might get colder. You should head for lunch."

Seren quietly nodded, as she needed to get out of what she was feeling. It was strange that she didn't like it but at the same time, she anticipated something which she couldn't understand. 

Seren removed her winter coat as it was making her feel hotter and walked out of the study to go to the dining room. Food couldn't make its way down her throat as he chewed each bite for long, still immersed in what she had read in the book.

After lunch, she read the rest of the book where it showed the journey of Prince and Princess's life as a husband and wife, It was filled with a lot more erotic scenes from time to time and how they loved and respected each other. They even had kids and lived happily after as a family. 

Seren finally finished the book but she had so many things in mind and needed to get answers to it. The biggest question was, will she be doing the same thing on her wedding night? She couldn't come up to imagine herself and Drayce liked that and felt even more anxious about her own wedding night. 

-------

Drayce had returned to his study after visiting his knights, who had returned after accomplishing an important mission at the Thevailes border under the leadership of Azer. 

Along with Slayer and Jasper, Azer too followed Drayce to his study. 

Azer, being a vice commander of knights and had trained under the commander of the knights, Slayer, was one more trustable and capable knight for Drayce. 

Azer was of similar age as his King and commander but was the youngest amongst them. Drayce had kept all young and capable people working with him since the day he became a king and each knight was personally selected by him and Slayer. Even before he could become a king, he had his own group of knights whom he had prepared to be on his side when he would become the King. Slayer, Jasper, Azer, and Rulf were part of it. 

"Azer, I am granting your troupe a week off. Go back home and rest," Drayce offered. 

"I will send my troupe home," Azer assured. 

"Including you," Drayce reminded.

"I don't need rest, Your Majesty," Azer replied. 

Before Drayce could say a word, Jasper spoke, "Don't follow your celibate commander. Go home and get married. I have heard your father complaining that you are refusing to get married."

Azer kept his head lowered and Jasper said again, "I can understand that your commander has no one waiting for him at home, but you have. Go home."

Slayer cast a death glare and Jasper said, "Did I say anything wrong? You have an empty huge home but you need to get someone who can fill that emptiness."

"I like it that way," Slayer replied, coldly. 

Jasper sighed and looked at Drayce who replied, "Let him be."

Slayer had his own scars from the past but he always chose to hide it and Jasper always attempted to make him more lively but all his attempts always went in vain. Slayer was nothing but a deep-rooted glacier in the sea that no one could move.

Drayce then looked at Azer, "You should meet your family."

Azer couldn't disobey his King's word and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty," and took a leave.

Once Azer left, Jasper informed, "Your Majesty, the wedding preparations are going on just as planned and the invitations have been already sent out since past few days."

"Hmm!" 

"Your Majesty, the opera house would be ready when you would need it."

"Hmm!" Drayce nodded again as a light smirk was painted on his lips. 

"This is it for today. Your Majesty should head out for the afternoon meal." 

Drayce agreed and looked at his two friends, "Today accompany me for lunch."

It surprised the two, "Your Majesty, we can't…"

"I am asking as your friend," Drayce instructed and walked out of the study. 

The King never had a meal with his subjects at the same table but Drayce preferred to break this rule once in a while. He was the king and no one would dare to object to it. 

"Seems like he is happy about something," Jasper whispered to Slayer as they followed Drayce to the dining room. 

"Hmm," Slayer nodded in agreement.
