NOVEL NEXT Chapter 41: Chapter 41 : A pattern?
"Lillian, get dressed, you're excused. I'll finish up here myself" Elias ordered
"Y-Yes Sir," Lillian immediately complied
She moved quickly, her hands trembling as she reached for her discarded clothes. Her chemise was the first to be pulled over her head, the soft fabric rustling against her skin. She fumbled with the her uniform, her fingers working hastily to lace it up, the ribbons slipping through her slender fingers in her urgency
Still holding Queen Seraphina's wrist in a firm grasp, Elias watched as Lillian left his chambers dressed scantily,
"Now you, I'll ask again. What were you trying to do?" He demanded, looking down at the queen, exuding an icy pressure
The queen struggled to pry her arm off, but Elias was bit budging at all, "L-Let go of me" She whimpered
"Why? So you can hit me? Let's get one thing straight Seraphina, I am not one of your subjects that you can treat anyhow. I will tolerate none of your nonsensical behaviour" Elias stated flatly
"Before I let you go, you must apologize for attempting to lay a hand on me" he added with a stern unwavering tone
"What? Me? The queen of Eldoria? Apologize to you? Impossible!" Seraphina stubborn declined
Elias' expression remained indifferent, "Then don't talk to me," He said, as he effortlessly pulled her toward the door
Tried as she did, the queen struggled but her efforts were rendered fruitless before Elias's strength, "How dare you do this to me? I'll have you thrown in a cell," She protested vigorously
"Okay, I don't care"
"Is this how you treat a woman, after standing her up?" She said, the frustration in her voice evident
Elias paused in his tracks, "I stood you up? I don't remember such happening" he said as he turned around to face her
The queen avoided his curious gaze by staring at the fireplace, "Yesterday, during breakfast. You said I should come to your room at night, and I did." She began
'Oh right, I asked her to come to my room last night. But I didn't think she would actually show up, she must be desperate'
"I knocked for a while, but you didn't answer, I finally decided to retire, thinking you slept off, only for me to find out that you went sightseeing and slept outside the castle. You choose to sightsee rather than…" She said, her voice carrying a tone of disappointment
"Rather than what?" Elias' asked, loosening his grip on her wrist, "Eat you?"
"No..that's not what I meant…" She replied, her voice low and uncertain
Elias lifted her chin up, "To be honest, I didn't think you would show up. I guess Alaric isn't giving you much attention in that area anymore" he said as he wrapped his hand around her small waist, and pulled her closer to him in one swift motion
A moan escaped her lips, and her face took on a rosy hue, "It..it's not like that"
"But it's exactly like that," Elias said, as he brought his lips to her graceful, slender neck kissing and sucking on all the right places that made the queen melt in his arms like butter, as she let out unholy moans that made him even want to go further.
"Anhh..ahh…ahnn…" The queen had become so stimulated that she couldn't contain her moans anymore
Elias eased up on the kissing and looked upon his work, the queen's face was filled with pleasure, her eyes filled with lust and her mouth hung open, waiting for Elias' mouth to meet hers.
"Just look at you, a few kisses here and there, and you're already drunk with pleasure. I guess I was right about Alaric not giving you attention.
Well it can't be helped as the man is getting older, so I'm going to tag in for him" Elias said, a mischievous grin curved into place on his face
"Ahn, it wasn't always like that…my husband was very much active. He just suddenly changed a few months back, and since then I have been neglected…" Seraphina said, a look of longing on her face
'A few months back? The King changed a few months back, Lillian also said the same thing and so did Loria too. There's a pattern, and there's definitely something amiss here'
"A few months back? Do you have any idea how many months since the King's behavior changed?" Elias asked
A look of confusion appeared on Seraphina's face, "Why do you ask?" She queried
Elias dipped his hand into her cleavage and cupped her breasts, causing the queen to moan intensely with pressure, "Just answer me" He demanded
"Nghnn…Ahnn…about…six….months ago" She answered between heavy breaths
'!! Six months! According to Loria, that was when Alaric began his movements against the flares. Now I know there's something definitely wrong here' Elias thought to himself
Elias pulled away from Seraphina, and not being able to maintain her balance after Elias' antiques she dropped to her knees. Her eyes, mouth, breath, her entire body longed for Elias' pleasure.
"You may leave now, I have a bath to finish and things to take care of," Elias ordered

A look of confusion appeared on Seraphina's face, "What….what do you mean by that?" she asked
"Leave"
"But…"
"But nothing," Elias said flatly, "Come back when you learn to apologize for your misdeeds" he added
"Ah…I'm..I'm sorry," She said sheepishly, "There, I said it, can we please continue," she begged, her eyes wide with anticipation
Elias slipped back into his bath, "Too late, but seeing as you're almighty queen Seraphina, I'll consider it and let you know when I have accepted" he said indifferently, "Now leave,"
Sensing Elias' seriousness, Queen Seraphina silently gathered herself and left the room with her head down.
"I have to watch the King closely, but before then, I should report back to Loria and Carius, and maybe gather a few noteworthy information on the mountainous beast while I'm at it"
