The Duke's Unwanted Wife Strange Attraction
It was almost impossible for Princess Temara to overpower Sebastian despite having considerable strength. He was able to flip the situation right away and land on top of her, this time binding her hand. They breathed heavily, looking into each other's eyes. "Your highness, you…..""I knew it. You're regretting this marriage.""Of course not. Please don't misinterpret my actions. Just listen to me first. I don't regret this marriage. This…..is my first time being intimate with a woman. I….don't know what to do. I don't want to embarrass you."".....Seriously?" ".....yes," he nodded, averting his eyes shyly. He let go of her hands and moved aside and let her sit up. The purity standard was not as strict in Polivia as it was in Ducroft so the women had the freedom of expressing themselves sexually in Polivia. In Ducroft, only the men could express themselves sexually with freedom. Even with those circumstances, Sebastian, the paragon of sexiness, wealth and attractiveness, had never to
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 85: The Great Era of Theater
The construction of the theatre was finally completed a few days after the wedding. Natalia, who spent the last few days with Marvis in her quarters, hiding from Reagan, inspected the construction with Sebastian's and Amaika's help. She prepared for the launch while she hid and when the day came, she was finally back out in public. Several people had been invited to the launch, including the foreign dignitaries.The nobles gathered in front of the magnificent structure with a large signboard with a calligraphy that read 'Adamantine Theatre'. It was clear who it was named after and many of the nobles had a mixed reception. The Queen had already laid it bare when she told them about it but everyone wasn't quite sure what to expect. A large ribbon separated everyone from the building. Sebastian held a a pair of scissors in one hand and his wife's hand in another as he gave a speech that was originally prepared by Natalia for herself. "I want to thank you all for succumbing to your curi
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 86: Reagan's Persistence
"Duchess Everon, why do I have the feeling that you're avoiding me?""I couldn't, your imperial highness! We always attend meetings together.""But you never leave an opportunity to meet you separately. It makes me feel uncourteous for meeting you like this. I was hoping we would get along.""I couldn't possibly hope for something like that from your imperial highness.""That's something people say when they don't want anything to do with me. This is the second time I've been rejected by a woman. It's a little painful." "How could I reject your imperial highness? It's nothing like that, really. There's a big difference in our stations so I cannot be that selfish as to ignore that. I cannot jeopardize my kingdom's chance at allying with the great Empire of which your imperial highness is the crown prince.""You speak quite well. All the women of Polivia are very outspoken. I feel like you'd make great wives.""Thank you for your compliment, your imperial highness."Polivia was one of
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 87: God Trial
“You have only just ascended yet you want to do a god’s trial?”“I didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. Does your infinite wisdom find something wrong with this?”“I can detect sarcasm, you know. I understand wanting to do a god’s trial but why are you coming to me? You couldn’t possibly be asking me to do it, could you? No, no, no, no! I refuse!”“Quene, you’re the god of wisdom. Who else is more qualified than you?”“I stopped doing god trials thousands of years ago. Even if gods came to me themselves, they always complained about how harsh my trials were. I lost a lot of worshippers because of that. I’m sorry Madaline but I can’t help you.”“Quene, you might not be an original god but you’re the oldest elder god. The very first to ascend. Why is it that you behave like the least of the gods?”“Isn’t it because I’m the god of wisdom?"Don't wisecrack with me. You need to do this trial. You're the only God I trust in the heavenly court."".....fine. Give me a few days. On
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 88: Transcendental
A very long time ago, on the same continent, there was an empire ruled by the gods. The humans depended on the gods and the gods depended on the humans. It was a very mutually beneficial relationship that seemed to work for everyone, on the surface. Oftentimes, the mediator was the queen of the gods in her infinite wisdom. However, as time went by, she realized that the only solution to the endless problems in the Empire was to withdraw the influence of the gods and close the heavenly court. This was met with fierce resistance from both gods and humans alike. They were too codependent on each other, especially the ascended gods. The original gods all agreed with the queen, seeing the disturbance in nature they tried so hard to preserve. However, even with her infinite wisdom and her infinite power, holding the world in her hands, she wasn’t able to stop the eventual collapse of both the heavenly court and the empire. {After I failed to ascend and died, there was a huge gap left in
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 89: How Important?
“Your actions are very questionable sometimes but they lead to great results. I know you put great trust in me by showing me this. There hasn’t been any Transcendental in our kingdom in many years. You wish to protect your kingdom in exchange for the title of Duke?”“Yes.”“Why should we trust you? How do we know you won’t betray us like the former duke and current king of Ducroft, your husband?”“I don’t have answers for the future, your majesty. I do know that this is important for the both of us. I guarantee it. And please, your majesty, he is not my husband anymore and I’m nothing like him.”“I’d say…..you’re rather impressive, Lady Adamantine. I wondered why they were hiding you so desperately. It turns out, it’s you. The precious flower of the capital, Natalia Adamantine. An honor to meet you, my lady.” Frma corner of the throne hall, Crown Prince Reagan appeared like a poltergeist. He looked mighty pleased with himself, even though the Queen looked mighty displeased with himse
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 90: Heat
Marvis stared emptily into the air. He had been stuck in a corner of the huge palace for the past few weeks because Crown Prince Reagan refused to leave. He of course liked Natalia’s company but he missed walking out in the open air. He was a social person who especially enjoyed the company of his kind. "Why do you look like you were kicked out in the rain?" Amaika asked, bringing in a tray of food. Marvis glanced at it but didn't stand up to eat it. He sighed, laying back on the bed."I feel like a circus animal.""A circus animal performs. You're just wasting air and food.""It's not my fault I'm stuck here! Lia ordered me not to go out of this room until he leaves!" He yelled, exasperated."I think it's tragic that we have to tuck our tails and hide when someone like you has the potential to become more than you are. If you continue hiding, you won't be able to unlock that potential. I feel sorry for you.""Ugh, if you want to say something, say it! Stop sounding like a wisecracki
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 91: Heat (2)
Natalia shut her eyes, waiting for the worst. However, few minutes passed and nothing happened. She opened one eye and saw that he was actually in front of her, sitting still. His claws dug into his arms and his fangs dug into his lips. He was close but he didn't make contact. "I thought he said…..you didn't have control over your actions. You clearly do. Do you…..not want to hurt me?"He shook his head, clearly holding himself back from touching her. She snapped her fingers and her clothes were back on. She snapped her fingers and a black magic circle under him, black chains coming up to hold him down. She stood up and touched his face, caressing it softly. "I'll take care of you, I promise," she said, leaving the room. She rushed out, going in search of Amaika. They were the only one who could help her. As she made it through the halls, she bumped into a maid who also seemed to be rushing. Saying a quick apology, Natalia rushed off. This maid adjusted the cap on her head, sighing i
