"okay I'm ready"
Hearing those words, Zane pulled out slightly and went back in.
Roshan began moaning and groaning in slight discomfort as well.
"I can stop anytime baby, you know this right?" Zane said.
Zane felt like he was in heaven. Roshan felt even better than he had hoped. He was warm and perfect.
Zane moved slowly so that Roshan didn't get hurt.
After some minutes, Roshan started wanting more.
"Faster"
Zane moved only slightly faster and since Roshan had acclimatized to his speed, he would turn it up a notch.
He did this until Roshan spoke.
"P-please"
"Please what baby"
"Don't stop"
After a few minutes, Zane flipped Roshan over so that he stayed on all fours, still thrusting in and out of him.
Roshan's moans had become louder and more prominent. Zane had began to feel the pleasure ten fold. He rolled his head back as well.
He increased his pace and Roshan moaned louder with the increase.
Reaching their climax at around the same time, Zane's eyes glowed red and relaxed as his body relaxed after.
Zane was not aware of his eyes glowing red, and Roshan was also oblivious to this.
.....
"What can we do? I don't mind him keeping that Prince as a plaything but we need an heir"
"I have an idea"
"What is it?"
"The king respects the gods, doesn't he? Let's request for a seer to tell him the gods want him to procreate with his soulmate"
"The soulmate binder"
"Exactly. It is foolproof"
The two ladies cackled and scurried away.
.....
Three days after, a renowed seer graced the palace of Vendet with his presence.
The man was easy on the eyes with a calm demeanor.
He approached the throne room and bowed in reverence.
"To what do I owe this wonderful surprise" Zane asked with an arched eyebrow.
"I have come because I have been asked to do so"
"What do the gods have to say?"
"They keep saying one word to me. 'soulmate'. They say you must find your soulmate to fulfill the prophecy of Vendet being the conqueror of all kingdoms"
"What does that have to do with having a soulmate?"
"Each royal heir has special abilities. It's why they are different from the rest. You already manifested yours at a young age. However, you will not attain it's full potential without your soulmate. And it is required to conquer fully"
"And what if I don't want to conquer fully?"
"Then Vendet will be conquered fully. The people will die"
Zane was silent.
"The timing is just.... immaculate, don't you think?"
"I have come because the gods said to come "
"And how will I know that I have met my soulmate "
"The only confirmation we have... is that at your most vulnerable moment, your eyes will glow red in their presence "
"I've heard enough. You may leave "
"Yes my king" the seer bowed and left.
Zane sat in silence, thinking about what the seer had said.
He was already committed to Roshan and had no intention of finding a soulmate.
He decided to put these thoughts aside. The gods would have to fight for their people themselves if they were expecting him to leave Roshan for a soulmate.
.....
Meanwhile.....
Armies of Rostra, Geomi and Aquira were in training. The mission was to kill the sorcerer and by extension, anyone who defended him.
The great army was made up of air, fire and water benders, all skilled in combat as well.
The training would be complete in three months if the soldiers trained with intensity and urgency.
The commanders of the three armies drilled their soldiers, making them train until failure.
They trained until their limbs gave up on them. When this happened, it was time to rest and recuperate for the next day.
In three months, there would be a great army of killing machines, marching to Vendet to claim the head of the dreaded sorcerer.
....
"When should we do the wedding?"
"Hmmmm.... Anytime's fine with me. It's not like I'm busy or anything" Roshan laughed.
Zane took Roshan's hands in his.
"In two weeks. We'll have a royal wedding. Your family will be here as well. I want you to be mine and me yours before the gods and the people. Will you marry me and make me the happiest king in Vendet?"
"Yes" Roshan's smiled broadened and his cheeks reddened.
The Palace started being prepared for the wedding from the day the king made the announcement to the kingdom.
The people were celebrating as their king would finally have a companion.
Several people trooped to Lily's house to congratulate her family.
Lily was happy that the king had come back to her and had left his boy toy alone.
People coming to congratulate her family also brought gifts to win favour in the eyes of the future queen's family.
Lily and her parents were enjoying the attention they were getting.
A few days after, Lily decided to go and see Queen Matilda to thank her for convincing her son to stay focused.
"The wedding is in 2 weeks, I'm just really happy the king is going to be mine"
Kim arched a brow. Did Lily think she would be the Bride? She thought but kept it to herself.
Queen Matilda smiled and hugged her. Selling her dreams of when she would be the queen and how she would rule honorably until the girl left skipping.
Queen Matilda frowned at Lily's words. Did her son perhaps finally decide to marry Lily?
