#32 The Prince is Angry
Regalis
I entered into my tent, head bent, holding a bouquet of sari roses in my hands - one of Xemein's favorite flowers - I intended to put it by her bedside so, she could sleep better. That was when I heard the laughter. A loud group, laughing.
I looked up. About fifteen soldiers were in my tent! What the fuck? Along with Brayton, Cederic, Nadia and Ashton, they were all there cracking jokes as Xemein devoured a piece of meat in her hand.
"Haha!" Xemein's laughter and that of the male soldiers around her filled the room as Ashton, regaled them with jokes.
"Haha!"
Then Xemein coughed and two of my soldiers rushed to grab the waterskin so as to fill her cup with water.
What's happening here?
Who did these men think they were to care for my woman?
"Yes! Yes!" they all clapped, roaring with laughter at something Ashton said. The only one silent was Cederic. But that was Cederic. He was often quiet.
Then, I watched as Griffin used a piece of cloth to wipe Xemein's oily cheeks, "my lady, you need not stress yourself today" Griffin said, laughing, and Xemein smiled back at him.
Instantly, an emotion I could not put a name on, filled me. Filled every pore on my skin, in a way my lightning Gift never had. I screamed, "get out!"
Sudden silence fell upon the room. All eyes were now on me. How dare they? These many men, laughing and drinking freely with my wife. I clenched my fist. Gritted my teeth. Trying my best not to hit something or someone.
One of the soldiers tried to move close to Xemein to pass her another cup of drink and I thundered, "everyone! Get out!"
Like rabbits about to be eviscerated by a predator, the soldiers sped out, leaving Cederic, Ashton, Brayton and Nadia behind.
I looked at them, "do I have to beg for time alone with my wife?"
They stood up. Brayton and Cederic, leaving first. Ashton, next. While Nadia stopped beside me, "now is not the time to be jealous" she said as she leaned towards my ears.
"I'm not..."
She didn't wait for me to finish and left the tent. Was I jealous? No, it can't be. This is just the way I am.
I closed our tent. Stared at Xemein, "I can see you're better now".
She smiled, "yes".
She must've woken up after I left. And fuck, this smile of hers, that could give any man an instant hard-on, she showed to those soldiers. And I would be a liar, if I said that didn't want to make me punch a hole through the tent walls.
Xemein stood up from our bed. And stood beside me. She asked, "are you okay?"
How could I possibly be okay?
She almost lost her life, after my warnings of she, not exhausting herself. And now I return to the tent, what do I see? My woman who had been ill, recovered and her first thought, was to dine with other men. Impressive!
I started pacing up and down; "those soldiers. Why were they...?"
"Oh" she said, nonchalantly, like it was everyday, she woke up surrounded by a bevy of men, "I treated them in the past, so once they heard I was awake, they decided to check up on me".
"And they wouldn't have had to check up on you, if you had not acted like a child in the first place!" I suddenly yelled.
The anger from the past few days I've been trying to suppress, exploded right out of me. She almost died! And now, she was smiling and laughing with those soldiers, like nothing serious happened. I can't believe this!
"What?...A child?" She stammered.
"The Danger Zone. The mage bane. Putting your life at risk. All proofs of your silliness, recklessness, stupidity and childish..."
Her palm landed on my face, like a clap of thunder, "how dare you?" she yelled.
"How dare you, Regalis?"
"If you have a problem with me, spit it out" she said "no need for you to call me names" she sent me a murderous stare. "Stupid and silly?"
I steeled my jaw. Damn! Never have I been more attracted to her, like this moment. Standing up for herself. Oh! Yes! I loved it. Those lips of hers, opening and closing to shut me up with her words. I shouldn't have called her names, I was wrong. But fuck, I have to chew those lips of hers. Taste it. And remind myself of what they tasted like. Of what I almost lost to death.
And if you asked either of us, who moved first? I was certain, we didn't know. All we knew was, one moment we were both angry, and the next second, we were kissing, sucking each other's tongues and tearing our clothes apart.
I stopped. And stepped back suddenly. Very much in fear again. Like the fear I felt, when I saw Xemein collapse.
I stared at her. Expecting her to fall dead any second, as my bare skin touched hers on a non-magicless land. Gosh! I was worse than the mage bane soldier. I just murdered the one woman I've truly cared so deeply for. I let my lust, make me forget what I was. Letting my chest and hers touch. We even kissed! And in anger, she slapped me earlier. Could I possibly do any worse?
But then, I noticed, she was still standing. Still breathing. And absolutely not looking like one who had been hit by bolts of lightning.
"Why..." I stuttered. In shock. How did she survive? Rarely, do people survive my lightning bolts, especially when I'm not in control of my emotions. And a few seconds ago, I was definitely not in control. Passion, was at the forefront of my mind.
She stepped towards me. And I stepped back. Took several steps in fact. In case, the first times we touched was just luck, she should not die now.
She stepped closer, I moved backward. And the next time she took a step closer, before I could move backwards, she put a finger on my lips. Gripped my neck. And licked my earlobe "maybe your skin has gotten so used to mine being around it" she said.
Could that really be true? It was hard to believe. Even though, this news filled me with tremendous joy, and I felt lust slowly return to my groin. "Really?"
She nodded, grinning.
"Then, we must not waste any moment of this second" I said, as I lifted her and pushed her back against the wall. Kissing her, loving her, she was now mine to have whenever I wanted!
My heart rejoiced.
The Mother of Light couldn't have blessed me, with a better blessing, than this.
