Chapter 52 - Epilogue 2: End

Two Months Later

The Imperial Court of the Central Kingdom had never been busier.

Morning sunlight poured through the tall windows of the great chamber, reflecting across the polished marble floor and the carved pillars that lined the hall.

At the far end of the chamber stood the Imperial Throne.

And seated upon it was Emperor William.

Two months had passed since the day the court had chosen him.

Yet the atmosphere of the hall had changed in ways even the elders had not expected.

The room buzzed with discussion as ministers, generals, and chiefs debated the matters brought before the court.

A merchant tax dispute.

Border patrol reports from the western provinces.

Flood damage in the southern villages.

William listened to them all.

Calmly.

Carefully.

One of the chiefs finished speaking and bowed slightly.

"The merchants claim the new tariffs are too harsh, Your Majesty."

Several voices immediately followed.

"They are exaggerating."

"The treasury needs those funds."

"If we reduce it, the military budget will suffer."

The voices began overlapping again.

William raised a hand.

The room fell silent.

His voice remained steady.

"Both sides have valid concerns."

He leaned forward slightly.

"If the merchants are strained, trade slows. If trade slows, the treasury loses revenue anyway."

Several chiefs exchanged impressed looks.

William continued,

"Reduce the tariffs slightly for the next three months."

The minister of finance frowned.

"But Your Majesty-"

William held his gaze.

"And increase trade inspections to prevent smuggling."

The minister paused.

Then slowly nodded.

"That... would balance the loss."

Another elder leaned forward.

"A wise compromise."

Murmurs of agreement spread through the chamber.

William nodded once.

"Next matter."

The court continued for hours.

And by the time the sun had begun lowering in the sky, every dispute had been settled.

Fairly.

Decisively.

The elders exchanged quiet conversations as they left the hall.

"He's handling the throne better than expected."

"Better than expected?"

One chief chuckled.

"I'd say he was born for it."

Another elder nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"He may become one of the kingdom's strongest rulers."

.

.

That night, the palace was quiet.

William finally returned to his chamber.

The imperial room was large and elegant, its tall windows opening toward the palace gardens. Lanterns glowed softly along the walls, casting warm golden light across the room.

William removed his outer robe slowly and sat on the edge of the bed.

For the first time all day, the silence settled around him.

He exhaled quietly.

Being emperor meant endless responsibilities.

Meetings.

Reports.

Decisions that affected thousands of lives.

Every day.

Every hour.

He leaned back slightly and stared at the ceiling.

Two months.

It had been two months since he last saw Adrian.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten him.

Not for a moment.

He sent guards regularly to check on him.

Letters.

Messages.

Updates on his recovery.

But he hadn't gone himself.

The empire demanded too much of his time.

And a new emperor disappearing from the palace only weeks after taking the throne would raise questions he didn't want to answer.

Still...

He missed him.

More than he expected.

William rubbed his eyes slightly.

"I hope you're well," he murmured quietly to the empty room.

A knock sounded at the door.

William sighed.

"Come in."

He didn't bother turning.

"Just leave the food on the table," he said tiredly. "You can go."

The door opened softly.

William leaned back slightly on his hands, staring toward the ceiling.

But after a moment...

Something felt strange.

No footsteps.

No movement.

Silence.

William frowned slightly and turned his head.

And froze.

Adrian stood in the doorway.

For a moment, neither of them moved.

William blinked once.

Then stood up so quickly the chair behind him nearly tipped over.

"Adrian?"

Adrian smiled softly.

"Hello, Your Majesty."

William crossed the room in seconds.

Before Adrian could say anything else, William pulled him into his arms.

The embrace was tight.

Strong.

Like he was making sure Adrian was really there.

Adrian laughed softly against his shoulder.

"I missed you too."

William pulled back just enough to look at him.

"You're here."

"Yes."

William searched his face carefully.

"You look..."

"Alive?"

"Healthy."

Adrian grinned.

"I'll take that."

William's hand gently touched the side of his face.

"You're really alright?"

Adrian nodded.

"The old man finished the treatment last week."

William exhaled slowly.

Relief flooded his expression.

"Good."

Adrian studied him quietly.

"You've been busy."

"You have no idea."

Adrian chuckled softly.

They talked for a long while after that.

About the court.

About the villages.

About the chaos of the past months.

Adrian listened as William described the endless responsibilities of ruling an empire.

"You're doing well," Adrian said finally.

William shrugged slightly.

"I'm trying."

"You're more than trying."

William smiled faintly.

Then he stood.

"You must be hungry."

He turned toward the door.

"I'll call the servants to bring supper."

But before he could take another step, Adrian grabbed his arm.

William looked back.

Adrian's eyes had softened.

"I didn't come all this way for supper."

William raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Adrian stepped closer.

"I came for you."

William's breath caught slightly.

Adrian leaned forward and kissed him.

Soft at first.

But the warmth between them quickly deepened.

Two months of distance melted in seconds.

William's hands moved to his waist, pulling him closer.

Adrian's fingers tangled in his hair.

The kiss grew slower.

Warmer.

Clothes shifted.

Hands explored familiar warmth.

William kissed along Adrian's neck, his voice low.

"I missed you." he murmured—but the words didn't feel like enough.

His hand tightened slightly at Adrian's waist, like he was afraid even now—afraid that if he loosened his grip, Adrian might disappear again.

"For two months," he continued quietly, his voice rougher now, "I kept thinking… what if something went wrong?"

His lips paused against Adrian's shoulder.

"What if the next report I got wasn't about your recovery…"

A small breath left him.

"…but that you didn't make it."

He pulled back just enough to look at him, eyes searching, almost disbelieving.

"And now you're here."

His thumb brushed lightly across Adrian's cheek.

"Alive. Warm. Right in front of me."

His voice dropped, softer.

"Do you know how hard it was… having everything I ever wanted—this throne, this power—and still feeling like something was missing every single day?"

He leaned in again, pressing his forehead gently against Adrian's.

"I don't want to lose you again."

A pause.

Then, quieter—

"Not to distance. Not to fate. Not to anything."

Adrian smiled softly, butterflies in his stomach.

"You're making up for lost time."

"Absolutely."

The lantern light flickered softly as they fell together onto the bed, the quiet palace night wrapping around them.

" I miss you alot." Adrian said between kisses. He was on top of William.

William hands mapped every skin under Adrian clothes. He took the clothes off and got naked himself.

Adrian paused and stared at the naked man below him. He blushed Shyly. " How did I survive without this body for two months?"

That made William creak. " I was already holding on to my last hope of sanity."

His eyes roamed all over Adrian's body.

He held him by the waist and dropped him gently on the bed, getting on top of him. " You're so beautiful."

He kissed his forehead.

Then his nose.

His lips.

His neck.

His collarbones.

He found that one mole on his collarbone.

" Arrgh..you!" Adrian cried as he felt teeth in his skin.

" How dare y... Arggh"

He felt another. His hand deep into William's skin from the pain.

"What are you!?"

" Your husband. " William replied smiling.

He kissed down to his nipples and sucked.

Lips.

Tongues.

wet

His other hand work in his other nipples rubbing it. He pinched it a lil hard and sucked hard on the one in his mouth.

Both action made moans escape Adrian lips before he could stop it. " Urhmm"

He replaced his hand with his tongue on the other nipples.

Suck.

Suck.

Harder.

Adrian felt his di'k responding fast.

William moved to his lips. He pushed his tongue deep into his mouth.

Tongues rubbed against each other. Lips devouring the other lips.

His hands went to Adrian's nipple and rubbed them.

Twisting.

Rubbing.

Pinching.

Pulling slightly.

"uhrgh..rhghh.."

Adrian's back arched from the touch and his man rubbed against Williams.

His face flushed.

" Someone is excited." William teased.

" Shu..shut up!"

" Temi..I wouldn't keep you waiting." He whispered into his eyes.

The next second he stood on his kneels and looked down at Adrian body.

His face was red. His nipples throbbing red and were literally screaming ' they haven't had enough '

He looked down at his di'k that was standing up, really erected for him. He smirk.

" Wh..what are you doing?" Adrian blushed and covered his face with his hand.

" I'm admiring your man. It's hot." He smiled.

" Shu..shut it.. you.. arrghh." He couldn't finish his sentence as he felt his di'k go really warm. He took his hands away from his eyes to find William sucking him. His eyes fixed on him.

" Oh god..you're so lewd." Adrian smiled.

" Am I now?" William questioned. He inserted a finger into Adrian's hold.

Adrian felt that. He missed it. It's presence felt anew and sent hot sensation through his body.

" Urhh..umm."

" Yuess yho iz lurd hown ( Guess who is lewd now.) " William said with Adrian di'k in mouth.

He increased his pace and inserted his finger deeper into his hold.

" Muuhhm.. rrgghh... Hot..." He moaned.

William's mouth moved.

Up and down

In and out .

Taking every inch of his di'k.

William pulled out after some seconds. He proceeded to work on just the tip of his di'k.

He sucked the upper part hard.

" Fu...ck.. dam.. argg...wil...wait...arhg"

Wait meant 'work harder ' to William. He sticked out his tongue and licked the top of his di'k.

Lick.

Suck.

Lick.

Suck.

Sucked harder.

His grip tightened in the lower part.

Suck. Suck. Suck. Harder.

" Wa ..jij..hyun...rdd..arrrr.."

Adrian was being to say words William couldn't understand. He started at Adrian dick. They were so red and throbbing.

His ginger hadn't left Adrian's hold. He could feel as his hold tightened, released then tightened around his finger.

" Fuck" he cursed under his breath. Adrian body was really driving him crazy. He was so erected and couldn't wait anymore.

He took his hand out and brought his dick to the entrance of Adrian's hold.

Adrian held his breath. William noticed and kissed him softly.

" Deep breath Temi..it won't hurt."

" Uhmm." Adrian winched at the entrance.

Slowly William went it until all of him was inside Adrian.

Adrian thighten around him as if welcoming him and he got more horny by the welcome.

" fuck...I don't think I'll be able to hold back. " He whispered beside Adrian's ear.

Adrian eyes widened. " Uh? What?"

He sincerely got nervous by that statement.

William gripped his legs, raising them up slightly, he pulled out and went in.

The force of it shook Adrian.

" Arrh!!!" He cried.

William tightened his grip and he went in and out.

Thrust

Thrust

Thrust

William couldn't phantom why he got even more horny with every thrust.

He missed him

He missed Adrian like crazy.

" Too..uhmm... you're.. arggh...ahhh. going to ...argghmm. too fast." Adrian couldn't tell if he was talking or moaning.

' Too fast?' William thought. He haven't even began.

He pulled out and the next second, Adrian was lying on his stomach.

He gripped Adrian ass and squeezed them.

" Arg! You..!"

" Soft ass, temi." William said feeling the softness of the ass. They were soft and squishy.

He got hard all over again.

" god..what your body does to me!" He muttered and went in again. From behind this time.

Hard.

Fast.

Thrust

His skin hit against Adrian's ass.

The sound of flesh against flesh filled the room.

Adrian moaned so hard he became embarrassed.

But he loved it. Loved every bit of it.

Being fuvked from behind.

Being fuvked by a man.

" Uhh..uhh..arhg...argh..ahh..uhm"

Every thrust produced a moan.

William waist went up and down.

He wanted more.. he wanted all off Adrian.

He repositioned himself and raised Adrian butt to give dog'y style.

He pressed Adrian's neck down to the bed.

" You..you're rough."Adrian said breathless.

" Wanna show you what you missed these past two months". William said breathing heavily himself.

One hand pinning Adrian down, the other holding his waist, he moved.

The thrust were harder this time.

Deeper.

Poww

Poww.

" Agrhh..argh.. will... william."

" I'm cuming.."

" Me too."

The man released same time and flopped to the bed.

" Fuvkk" Adrian cursed. That was literally the best s'x of his life.

" Yeah, fuvkk" William agreed.

.

Outside, the empire rested peacefully under its new emperor.

And inside the chamber-

the emperor finally allowed himself a moment that belonged only to him.

Only to them.

After all the battles, betrayals, and crowns-

they had finally found each other again.

And this time,

nothing was pulling them apart.
