Eros carried Iris directly inside his personal bathing area and deposited her in front of his bathing pool. His bathing area is like a huge lavish hall with a medium-sized pool in the center, which is filled with water. On the top of the water surface, rose petals are floating leisurely. There are sheer white curtains tied around the bathing pool for privacy. This is solely reserved for Eros himself. But today for the first time, someone else is going to share his personal space with him. He doesn't like to share his personal space with anyone since he was a kid. He likes his things and chamber to be neat and tidy. But the moment he allows anyone to enter, they will make a mess which he doesn't like. So he stopped inviting anyone inside his chamber.But now after he saw how Iris almost lost her life, something inside him is demanding to keep her close. He doesn't know what is happening to him and she never gave him a moment to think about it all. So for the time being, he decided to a
After Eros left her alone, Iris undressed quickly and washed her body with some scented cleaning supplements she found there. She wrapped a fluffy cotton towel around her body and searched for something appropriate to wear. She didn't find any women's clothes, but she spotted Eros's black cotton undershirt. She wiped the excess moisture from her body and dressed in his clothes. His shirt is loosely fitted to her frame and reached till her midthigh. She contemplated if she should go out like this or not, but this is better than going out with a towel wrapped around her body. So she decided to go out and find some women's clothes later. She finger-combed her wet locks and left them to air dry. After she is done, she placed her wet clothes neatly in a washing bin. On the other hand, Eros changed his clothes as well. He dressed in his black breeches and ignored his undershirt like he usually does. He prefers only his breeches at the night, leaving his torso bare. He instructed a servant
In the Imperial palace after the physician left, Eros himself fed her the herbal medicine. As the imperial palace doesn't have female maids, he doesn't want the male servants to touch her. So he is taking care of her himself. After taking the medicine, she slowly began to drift into sleep. He bundled her up with thick furs, remembering the physician's words to keep her warm. He sat on a chair nearby, so that she wouldn't be disturbed. "Your highness" Thomas knocked on the door tentatively. "Come in" Eros called, mindful to keep his voice down. Thomas entered his king's bed-chamber along with a couple of male servants. They all stopped dead in their tracks to see lady Iris sleeping on his bed and he is sitting on a chair. This is so unlike his king's nature. Thomas has never seen his king like this. He never bothers himself with the health of his concubines. He just visits them once and wishes them good health, and that's about it. Thomas or anyone in the entire Palace has never
Iris gradually woke up to the feeling of being surrounded by something hot. "Hmm.." she made a sound at the back of her throat, as she became aware of her nakedness. Her eyes snapped open and she tried to move away from the man spooning behind her. But her stomach protested at the sudden jerky moment with pain and she grimaced. "Ahh.." she winced and laid back beside him again. Eros is amused looking at her struggle. "Why do you always try to run away from me?" he asked her curiously. She can feel his hardness which is nestled between her butt cheeks. Her cheeks flamed with shyness. She is not used to intimacy like this. He is her first. She barely remembers that night when she lost her virginity to him. But she remembers what happened last night and why they both are naked. She remembered him rubbing her feet when she was fighting with chills. She is shocked to see a strong king like him touching her feet. Men like him feel like it's beneath them to take care of a woman. But he
After Eros left her in the bathing area, Iris quickly used the chamber pot and finished her morning routine. She still suffers from pain if she moves a little faster or twists her torso sideways. So she is mindful of her moments. After she is done, slowly she walked back into the bed-chamber, her steps slow and her body weak because of lack of food. When Eros noticed her, he assisted her onto a chair and adjusted the cushions so that she could be comfortable. "Here, drink this soup. The physician advised that it would be better for you to avoid solid foods for a couple of days. This soup is nutritious and very tasty. You will like it" he assured her when she made a face by looking at the soup. Tentatively she took a sip and nodded with agreement. She liked the soup and moreover, she is hungry. So she began to drink it with gusto. He chuckled with amusement. He mixed the herbal medicine in her soup so that it would help with her pain and help with healing as well. After she is done,
After Thomas left the Astral Palace, Mina sneered with anger."So now his highness is involving himself with the issues of the harem? I control the harem and since the day I was given control, no one has ever dared to question me. His highness taking special interest in this kind of petty issue is unheard of. This human is becoming more than just a temporary nuisance. None of the consorts from the harem ever take their issue to his highness, even if they do, he would never listen. He will tell them not to bring silly issues of the harem to his notice. But now, the way he is responding and behaving towards this human is different from his past behavior. I need to kill this human and make it look like herbal poisoning which is common in humans. I need to visit the Imperial Palace" she thought out loud.Lilith who was listening to the monologue of her mistress frowned."But mistress, we are not allowed to step inside the imperial palace. How can you go inside and talk to lady Iris?" she
Mina became so Jealous that she lunged at Iris to tear the shirt off her body. Eros lets no one touch his stuff, let alone wear his clothes. So to see Iris in his shirt is like a slap on her bruised body. Mina tore the front of the shirt and it ripped with a loud tearing sound.Iris on the other hand fell on the bed backward, as she couldn't hold Mina's weight when the other woman lunged at her, as her stomach is still in pain because of the bruises.One of the servants who tried to stop Mina from entering into the imperial palace hurried into the royal office where Eros usually works when he is not in the royal court. He informed him about how aggressively Mina pushed past them despite their protests.Eros became angry when he heard this. He can imagine how Mina must be behaving with Iris. He immediately departed towards his palace. When he reached there, he is shocked to see Mina tearing the clothes from Iris's body.No one noticed his arrival, as everyone was busy looking at how Mi
When Mina placed all the blame on them, the maids rushed forward and fell on their knees in front of Eros. "Mercy your highness, please spare our lives. It was lady Mina who told us to leave our mistress alone. She was furious with our mistress for insulting her near the pond. We were scared of Lady Mina and doesn't want to get on her bad side. So we did as we were told to do" they confessed. Mina is the person who runs the harem and she is the closest woman to their king and their future queen. So they are scared of her. They did what she told them to do because they doesn't want to get into trouble and lose their jobs. But now things changed and the king is handling the issue. Their king has the ultimate say in everything, so they don't want to get killed because they followed what Mina asked them to do. When Eros heard the confession of the maids, he became angry. He remembered how mad Mina was when Iris talked back at her and dosent let Mina bully her. Eros doesn't have to ask
