Cassandra rolled to the side, slowly catching her breath. Her body was still slightly shivering from the

aftermath of that wild sex… How many times had it been? She vaguely remembered them changing

position thrice or four times, but her mind was still foggy. She sighed. She could feel that pearl of sweat

on her nape, and her hair sticking to her temple…

Kairen gently took her in his embrace and pulled one of the familiar fur blankets over her. The young

woman was only too happy to lay on his chest.

Somehow, despite her exhaustion, her body was still too excited for her to calm down enough and

sleep yet. She kept her eyes open, her finger drawing circles on her Prince’s chest. For a long while,

they stayed together like this. His hands were gently caressing her back, going up and down her spine.

With the silence that had fallen in the room, they could hear the noises coming from the windows.

Some exotic birds were chirping. Human voices too, though they were too far and numerous to be

understood… Unlike the Onyx Castle, which was completely isolated, the Diamond Palace was still in

the heart of a vast City… There was always something going on inside. Cassandra liked this

atmosphere. Just the two of them, cuddling in that bedroom, while the world kept itself busy outside.

After a while, she heard him sigh, and couldn’t help but worry a bit.

“Are you alright?” She asked.

“I don’t like leaving you here,” he said. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Don’t worry… I’ll stay here with Lady Kareen. It will be fine. Just be careful, please.”

Kairen took a deep breath, and kissed her forehead. It didn’t feel like enough for Cassandra. She got a

bit up, lying on his chest, to come and kiss him properly. The War God wrapped his arms around her,

hugging her and answering her kiss. This time, it was a slow, tender kiss. He let Cassandra take the

lead. Her thin lips on his were like a flower’s petal, so smooth and light… She was getting just a little bit

bolder every day, too. He could feel the tip of her tongue, teasing him, giving him a little taste of her and

making him thirsty for more.

Cassandra smiled, and her lips went left, to kiss his cheek, where his beard was growing, little spikes

his face with her shy kisses.

When she stopped, putting her chin on his torso, he brushed her hair with his fingers, a bit amused.

“Why are you so amused about?” She whispered. 1

“You’ve changed… I remember the shy girl who would blush every time I touched her…”

Cassandra blushed again hearing that, with a little pout.

“You were so… You would put your hand under my skirt and say such obscene things.”

“Did I?” He said, with a little sneered. (3)

Cassandra softly slapped his chest.

“Yes, you! Putting your hand under my skirt and asking if I was a virgin, too… You just enjoyed teasing

me so much…

Kairen smiled and, while she wondered what he was thinking, she suddenly felt his hand sliding

between her thighs, making her yelp in surprise. The War God gently caressed her opening, but she

was still so wet and sensitive from their wild activity just before, Cassandra was already shivering.

“Was it like this…? Or…”

Just as he played, his finger moved between her wet lips, making her moan again. Her legs tensed up,

and Cassandra bit her lip, sending him an offended look.

Kairen chuckled, amused, and came to kiss her temple, though it was obvious his concubine was

sulking a little bit. She moved a bit, and pushed his hand with a sullen look.

“So mean,” she whispered.

“Mh…”

He obviously had no remorse or intention to apologize for his past behavior. Cassandra sighed. She

was so scared back then, the Prince suddenly taking an interest in her had been completely

unexpected. Thinking about it, her feelings for him had evolved so quickly. She had been caught in a

storm and happy to submit…

Kairen gently kissed her temple again, caressing her hair gently. She couldn’t ignore him, she just

enjoyed his touch so much… Cassandra smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck, locking him

into some more kisses. It had been a while since they had been able to rest and snuggle together,

without worrying about any event to attend or anyone to accompany…

“Kairen… Why didn’t you take any other concubines? Before me?” She asked, feeling a bit curious.

He sighed, frowning a bit. He didn’t like that question. They both knew he’d had concubines in the past,

but none of those women had made it out alive. Those weren’t picked by him, either. Cassandra clearly

remembered Nebora’s words. All the concubines Kairen had been presented with were sent by his

brothers or father. From their meeting, she had somehow assumed it was natural for him to take new

concubines on a whim, as it was for any Prince. However, she had been proven very wrong as soon as

she arrived in the Onyx Castle… Not only Kairen didn’t have any other concubines, but he also didn’t

show much interest in any woman besides her. 3

His glare and disgust towards the women that had tried to seduce him previously had made her realize,

he absolutely loathed this kind of behavior. She truly was the only woman he ever showed any arousal

or interest towards. He didn’t care about any other woman, no matter how young or beautiful she was.

As a healthy young man, it was a bit surprising…

“I hate those women…” He whispered.

“The concubines?”

“You… Didn’t ask about my bedroom. The one in the Imperial Palace.”

“No… I figured you didn’t want to talk about it… and I didn’t want to pry.”

The Prince sighed. For a while, Cassandra wondered if he was going to end the topic there. He put an

arm over his face, covering his eyes. He didn’t look side, just… bothered. She felt a bit unsure, as she

couldn’t see his expression. Was it too sensitive to bring up? She hesitated a bit on what to add, biting

her lip. 2

“Kairen…?”

“That room… We lived there when I was younger. Shareen, mother, and I. One night, when I was

twelve or thirteen… I woke up, very late. I was feeling sick, strange. I didn’t know what it was. I realized

I wasn’t alone… A servant woman was there.”

“…In your bedroom?”

“…In my bed. She was on me… Sucking me. I stayed there. I couldn’t move. I felt like a monster was

trying to eat me. I got mad… Krai got mad, and we killed that woman. I’m not sure exactly what

happened. You saw the room.

Cassandra was speechless. She clearly remembered that bedroom. It was as if a beast had gone

berserk inside. It

was Kairen and Krai’s wrath that had unleashed inside.

“The young concubine felt her heart going crazy inside her chest. She was mad and terribly sad. She

was sickened by what had happened to her Prince. He was so young! How could that woman do such

a thing! For a minute, she had a hard time calming down and holding in her tears. Never had she seen

such a vulnerable side of her Prince, or even imagined he had one…

“I’m so sorry…” she whispered, her voice almost breaking.

“Don’t be. That woman is dead.”

“But… why did she…”

“She was probably trying to become a concubine… Some women target the Imperial Family so they

can improve their lives this way.”

Cassandra felt utterly disgusted. How greedy could a human being be? To go ahead and rape a young

boy! She had never been so shocked before. She had always felt like the Imperial Family was

absolutely untouchable, always the ones inflicting the pain, the ones in control of other people’s fate…

Never in a million years would she have imagined they were the target of such monsters. (4)

No wonder the Prince was so disgusted at those lecherous women, after what he had gone through…

Moreover, two of the concubines he had been sent afterward had tried to kill him. How could he still

believe in any woman after that? He was seen as prey by those monsters from such a young age. The

War God had grown to be the man he was because he had learned to fight the worst kind of monsters

from a young age…

“She was the first person I ever killed,” he whispered. “Mother found out in the morning. She got rid of

the body, and we moved to the Diamond Palace again. She kept as few servants as possible, but I

wasn’t afraid. I would just murder anyone if I had a doubt… I kept killing, my father sent me to the front,

where I could unleash as much as I wanted. It wasn’t the same, but somehow, the sight of blood helped

me more than anything else…”

“So that’s how you became the War God so young…”

“I felt like I belonged to the battlefield more than anywhere else. I hated being here, or in the Imperial

Palace. I slept better on the ground than in any bed…”

Cassandra suddenly remembered how desolated and empty the Onyx Castle always seemed. Any of

Kairen’s bedrooms, she had always thought they didn’t look like anyone lived there… And no one did.

The Prince avoided those place, and preferred his army tent. Everything made so much sense now…1

“When I met you… You were the first woman that didn’t care. You showed only fear. Any woman I had

met, no matter how scared they were, there was always that… thing in their eyes. That slight hope that

I might get interested in them, fuck them, and make them my concubines. That greed, the same greed I

had seen in that woman’s eyes. …I’d rather kill them.”

He took his arm out of the way, to come and gently caress her soft cheek.

“…You were the only one. You didn’t lust for me. You were just scared. When I tried to tease you, see if

you’d show your true colors, your lust as a woman, you just turned out to be an even more innocent girl

than I had thought. When that woman hurt you…”

“Lyria? My former master’s concubine?”

“Yeah. I saw… In the way she looked at me, and the way you looked at her. You were different.

Somehow, I understood… Why Krai liked you. You were just… pure. So pure. You didn’t have that

greed in her eyes, not even that will to save yourself. You were just scared of me.”

Cassandra sighed. It was all so… sad.

She hadn’t thought much about their first encounter. The War God was so undecipherable, back then,

she would

have never imagined he looked at her that way. That certainly explained a lot.

“Is that why you didn’t let me… satisfy you?”

Kairen caressed her lips with his thumb, slightly nodding.

“I don’t want to see you like that… I don’t need that.”

“I understand,’ she whispered.

They stayed silent for a few seconds, just staring in each other’s eyes lovingly. Cassandra could tell,

there wasn’t anything the War God feared anymore in women. Instead, it had been replaced by this

wrath, that bloodthirst. The way he had found to cope had become his way of life… The blood that

dirtied his sword, the way he had dirtied his hands to save himself.

She was falling a bit deeper for that man. How was he still able to love her so tenderly, after what he

had gone through? Kairen had such a loving side… just for her. She smiled and, gently, came to kiss

him again. The War God answered her kiss, caressing her hair, her cheek…

Cassandra deepened their kiss, taking the reins. She wanted him to feel her love for him. He wasn’t

that scared boy anymore. He had grown into a strong, powerful man, who could kill, but still love…
