The Third Prince Of Darkness

While the pre-engagement party continued with all its noise, I left early and retreated to my study. After all, there was no reason for me to stay at the party any longer, and I doubted there was anything else interesting to see. Additionally, I didn't want to continue witnessing the ceremony of nobles trying to market their daughters to me.

So, I went to my study and began working on finishing the book I was writing.

Now that most of the book is completed, I'm confident that a few hours of work will allow me to finish this new philosophical and revolutionary book for the world. I retreated to my study and sat at my desk. The manuscripts on my desk were filled with the final chapters of the book I had been working on for a long time.

This book was more than just a copy of the philosophical books from my previous world; it was a philosophy book adapted to this world.

I took the pen in my hand, and after taking a deep breath, began to write. The final ideas to be included in the book had the power to lead to radical changes in this world. I wanted to create a final chapter that would resonate in the minds of the readers, choosing every word carefully.

This book had to be more than just an ordinary work; it was a manifesto that would encourage people to think, question, and ultimately take action.

If I can write a book that influences readers and publish it under my identity as a prince, I will undoubtedly gain fame among the elites of the world. Also, I sometimes unconsciously added my own ideas to the book, but I made sure they didn't harm its content. As the hours passed, the room filled with a heavy cloud of thought.

I was using my brain to its utmost capacity as I transferred the ideas swirling in my mind onto paper.

"- Tell me, after all these words, do you still call yourself free? Haven't you realized that your thoughts still govern you?"

Thus spoke the shepherd and finally left his dark cave, bright and powerful like a rising sun...~"

And finally, with these last words, I managed to finish the book. I stood up from the chair and stretched my entire body. I looked at the book I had written, and with a satisfied smile, I closed the cover. I placed the book in a large envelope along with a letter and headed towards the door to leave.

As I opened the door, I saw Roxanne right in front of me, her hands raised in the air, likely about to knock on the door. She flinched and stepped back when she saw me.

"What's the matter? Is the party over?" I asked, and Roxanne nodded slightly, confirming it.

"Do you need something?" I asked and noticed that it was very late by looking at the moon.

"I'm just... here for m-my r-reward" she said, blushing and stammering.

It took me a moment to understand what she meant when I saw the bashful expression on Roxanne's face.

"Go to my room and lock the door. I'll be there shortly" I said, after handing her the key to my room. I watched her nod and leave, her flushed ears hiding with excitement. After watching Roxanne disappear in haste, I returned to the room, placed the envelope on the desk, and secured the book in a safe place before spending a few more minutes in the room.

Later, I left the room and started walking, using the dark shadows. Since the guest palace currently housed too many people and eyes, I didn't go there.

I told Roxanne to go to my room, since the only people outside my room were members of the servants' guild and the trusted bodyguards Althea had recommended to me. I told them not to prevent anyone who already had my key from entering the room, since the key to my room was always hidden in the safest place possible, in my shadow, where no one could get it without permission.

After a while, I reached the main palace and knocked on the door of the my room where Roxanne was staying. After Roxanne opened the door, I entered and lit the candle in the dark room with a fire spell. Once the room was illuminated, I saw Roxanne blushing shyly, looking at me from the corner.

"Come here" I said, motioning to my lap.

Roxanne nestled into my lap, clutching her long dress tightly, and rested her head on my chest. As she shyly nestled into my lap, I could feel her heart racing. Her trust in me, so vulnerable, once again showed how deep the bond between us was. I placed my hand on her back, gently stroking it to provide her with comfort and peace. The strawberry-scented aroma from her hair was quite pleasant.

"Roxanne," I said, leaning close to her ear, "Did that muscle-brain dare to touch you?" I asked.

When Roxanne heard me call Fiona's second son a muscle-brain, she laughed and looked at me with those green eyes. "How can you not remember your own brother's name?" she teased.

"His name isn't important enough to occupy my mind" I said, causing Roxanne to giggle. The sweet sounds of the woman in my lap giggling made me wonder for a moment if she was a child.

"His name is Thaerd, but I agree. It's not important enough to occupy one's mind" she said.

"You're absolutely right," I said with a slight smile. "But right now, the only thing that matters is you and me." I saw a faint sense of relief in Roxanne's eyes. She rested her head on my chest again and took a deep breath. I felt a warmth inside me; seeing her so relaxed and happy made me happy as well. As I ran my fingers through her hair, I allowed Roxanne to enjoy this moment of peace.

I don't know if she felt the same as I did, but the tranquility of this moment was a rare luxury in the complex and dangerous world we lived in. I was glad to give her this moment.

"E-Ethan..." Roxanne said softly. "That muscle-head wants to formalize the engagement with me" she said, her voice trembling slightly. She moved closer to me and gently tapped my chest. "Didn't you say you'd save me and never leave me?..." she asked, looking at me with eyes full of deep love and the madness that came with it. "But even if you leave me, I'll never leave you...

If you leave me, I'll follow you wherever you go. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let you go, and no matter what, I'll ensure your seeds are planted in my womb...!" she declared.

The words Roxanne spoke, and the obsessive expression she wore while saying them, sent shivers down my spine. Normally, Roxanne would blush at the slightest thing between us, but now she hadn't blushed at all while saying these words. At this moment, her obsessive love for me overshadowed even her sense of shame.

But after a few seconds passed, Roxanne realized what she had said, and her entire face turned red. She buried her face in my chest as she always did when she , hiding her face so that I could only see her ears. While she clung tightly to my shirt with both hands, I began to stroke her hair.

"I will never leave you, and tonight I will prove it" I said, and holding her head on both sides, I tried to lift her face.

I looked at her still-blushing face and, holding her chin, made her look at me, but after a moment, she averted her eyes. However, I held her chin firmly and made her look at me. Her eyes were hazy, and I could feel her pulse quicken as she looked at me.

As I leaned in, I quickly captured her soft lips and placed my lips on hers. We stayed like that for a while, and then I opened my mouth, allowing my tongue to emerge. Roxanne was surprised when she felt my soft lips against hers, but she inexpertly opened her mouth, giving me access. As my tongue invaded her mouth and aggressively explored every corner, I felt her tongue brush against mine.

I quickly captured her tongue and, like a camel parched in the desert, wrapped my tongue around hers, pulling her into a passionate kiss. While my hands roamed her body, I began to remove her clothes, but Roxanne, currently preoccupied with our passionate kiss, didn't even notice.

When I removed her top and a slight breeze from the window caressed her bare upper body, she flinched, and her eyes widened. "Mmmm. Ethan. Mmmm," she tried to speak, but I moved my tongue more aggressively to stop her, and although she resisted for a moment, she soon accepted my touches on her bare upper body and closed her eyes again.

But seeing her respond to every place I touched made me realize how excited she was, so I began to caress her body even more aggressively.

"~~UmmmMmmmmmm!"

Finally, even with the lightest touch on her breasts, I heard Roxanne's muffled moan. Her breasts fit perfectly in my hands, filling them completely. Considering my large hands, I realized that Roxanne's breasts, though not the largest, were sufficiently ample. But I never discriminate against breasts! All women's breasts are beautiful!

Small, large, medium-sized, pointy, or round-tipped, saggy, or reminiscent of twin towers! I love them all, and honestly, these soft breasts that filled my hands were my new favorite.

"~~Mmmmmm~~♥️"

As I squeezed her now erect nipples from my touch, I pulled my lips away to save her from suffocating from our long, passionate kiss...
