Moonlight Ball

It was an opportunity for him to show her what pleasure felt like and he wondered if this body had ever been so happy. She’d initially been going crazy because she’d said she was disgusted, but now he could feel that she was going crazy because it felt good.

“My Queen,” Sidrain whispered as he held Iris’s slim neck. The tips of his fingers that stroked her soft skin, created an illusion of melting fingers as he touched the soft, supple flesh. “Can I do more?”

Iris’s body shook wildly, but Sidrain couldn’t stop himself as his erection strained against his pants, wanting to burst out. He wanted to put himself inside of this woman and sow his seeds and he desperately wanted to see what face she should make when he slipped inside of her. Let me be the man who sends you to heaven. Let me be the only man to witness it when you’re in heaven.

Sidrain licked Iris’s lips, lowering his hand and lifting the hem of her dress with his fingertips. “From here, I’m going to reach higher. Can I keep going?” He breathed in her ear. “Can I have you?”

It had been impossible for Iris to push him away with her slender arms and she’d unexpectedly shouted something in an ancient language that he couldn’t understand. At that precise moment, Sidrain was pushed back by some powerful, unseen force. As he tried to find his balance, he opened his eyes just in time to see her jump off of the balcony.

“Rosemary!” Sidrain stopped himself in the nick of time from shouting out Iris’s name and he watched her body slowly falling towards the ground, too slow, she must’ve used magic to guide her fall. In one swift movement, he swung himself over the railing with one hand, falling much faster than Iris, who seemed to be in a magical free-fall.

Iris realized that she had acted impulsively as she drifted towards the ground with her eyes closed. But she couldn’t stand it any longer and the unfamiliar sensations she’d felt had terrified her. As she’d expected, the King was a strange and scary man and she’d begged him to stop but he’d refused to listen to her pleas. Perhaps it was the Queen’s face that caused his strange behavior, she wasn’t sure. Instinctively, she wanted to get away from him, from this place, she wanted to run and never look back. But then what? She didn’t have the answers.

Jolted out of her thoughts, someone caught her and her gut immediately told her it was the King. She closed her eyes tightly, fearing that he may be angry and slap her in the face like he had the first day she’d met him. But no blow came, and she opened her eyes slowly, just wide enough to see that Sidrain was smiling at her.

“I’m sorry, my lady. I was in such a hurry. You were so pretty that I acted like an idiot for a moment. I apologize.” His lips touched Iris’s forehead lightly as he continued, “But don’t do this again. Unless you want to see my heart stop.” Iris thought his smile looked pathetic.

***

Elaine glared at the fourth balcony, but no one showed until the party was over. He wanted to go into his student’s room at dawn and shake her slender neck, but the ivory bracelet did not answer. So he had to return to the tower with a boiling heart that day.

My best student, Iris, with the King?! It’s preposterous! Elaine realized the gravity of the situation and things had moved so quickly that he hadn’t had time to process the reality that they were now a couple. They could have a normal marital relationship and even develop feelings for each other. For Elaine, who was born in the aristocracy, he would rather have a marital relationship, and his only child, Iris, couldn’t have had an emotional exchange with a king. He wouldn’t mind if it was just about s*x. You play with him! That’s fine. But, dating! Not that!

A knock at the door distracted him from the chaos in his mind and he looked up to see a man in his early forties cautiously walk in.

“Well, Master, the Magic Tower’s ordinance…”

Iris was a student of his, but she had never actually done anything right as a student and she hadn’t done anything official either. Still, everyone knew about her phobia, which she was famous for, and they’d all grown up together, so they just accepted it and moved on. So, it was Usya who played the role of the disciple in official duty. Iris achieved a great magical status instead, and therefore, raised the pride of the tower.

“Yes Usya,” Elaine unintentionally cut her off mid-sentence.

People thought that Elaine was a man without flaws, but for Usya, Elaine was a slightly strange teacher and master. In particular, when it came to his work with Iris, his only adopted daughter, people had become even stranger. Usya used to admire Elaine but concluded that he’d never understood his ways.

These days, things were even more bizarre, because Iris was dead. Usya was worried these days that her teacher would be deprived of his master’s position. But, of course, his teacher was tough, so while the politics of the tower were like war, he was not the one to lose easily.

Iris was a great power for Elaine, her unabated magic and blind loyalty were Elaine’s most powerful sword. Iris Elaine was Elaine’s most powerful and terrifying knight.

It was true that Elaine’s position had weakened since Iris had disappeared and Usya had a lot of concerns these days, about whether she should continue to follow Elaine, or find another teacher. But the teacher didn’t even seem to be aware of what she was thinking. Knowing how his mind worked, it was frustrating for Usya to spend each day in a manner that showed that her heart was not in it.
