King Orion was informed that Lillian had chosen her second concubine, and that he was the Bishop's apprentice priest. He was quite excited, as Lillian managed to obtain someone who belonged to the temple and knew different secrets and knowledge.
— I'll have to be careful so Lillian doesn't steal my post sooner than expected. However, I like the way things are going.
Duke Gideon was angry at this situation, as Duke Sirius's political power would increase, he would never imagine that the princess would choose someone who cannot be controlled by submission magic.
...
Issac was awaiting Lillian's return, as he wanted to tell her about the magical jewels he had recovered. These jewels possessed a different magical power. Each of them had a different magical attribute. The kingdom of Lynx was invaded, as King Orion feared this power, but during the invasion, they found some magical jewels, but were unable to activate their magic, so they abandoned them.
Lillian returned and was a little worried.
— "What Killan told me is correct, there is no guarantee that Issac will remain by my side ."
Issac was excited to tell him the news, but Lillian said she wanted to be alone and went to sleep alone in her room.
— "What happened during tea? Could it be that she accepted his request to become a concubine?"
***
Lillian was in her room when one of the assistants tripped and spilled tea on her dress.
— Look what you did, you incompetent!
Lillian took the hot tea and poured it over her assistant's hands as she cleaned the floor. She begged the princess for forgiveness, while the princess continued to step on her hands.
Issac opened the door and immediately ran towards Lillian, trying to pull her away from the girl. Conveying a look of contempt.
— It wasn't enough, princess.
— How dare you interfere with my punishment! You want me to activate the submission magic... You should activate it so you can punish her yourself.
***
Lillian woke up with a start, she hadn't dreamed in a while.
— "Because I had to dream about mistreating my assistants. And Issac's look of contempt was desperate."
The next morning, Killan was in the main lobby causing a commotion, asking his ladies-in-waiting where his room was. Issac appeared and soon helped them.
- What are you doing here?
— What else could it be. I became Princess Lillian's concubine.
Issac was in disbelief, he was no longer the only concubine. A rival had appeared.
— "It can't stay like this, I need to show that I'm more useful than him."
Lillian left her room, she had a slight headache due to the nightmare she had the night before, she got close to the stairs, she saw that Issac and Killan were arguing. She ordered the assistants to give Killan a room on the upper floor, this floor was the same floor as Issac's room and Lillian's room. All the employees began to comment and spread rumors that she had dishonored the apprentice priest. And that she was a lustful woman.
After some time, during the night, Lillian went to visit Killan in his room.
— Your assistants prepared me, but I don't think that's why you came here.
— How is the accommodation?
— Magnificent! When I remember the monastery, I get chills when I arrive. Unfortunately I couldn't find an accommodation next to yours.
— Enough nonsense, how do I awaken this gift?
— It's very simple, just sleep.
— Are you stringing me along?
— To dream you need to sleep, but it needs to be a deep sleep.
— I don't trust sleeping next to you.
— What would I gain from your death? I find it strange that you sleep next to Lord Issac. Never thought that he could kill her to take revenge on the people of the kingdom who were enslaved.
— I sleep lightly, I would notice if he tried something.
— Exactly, that's why your gift isn't awakening. Sleep with me and I will awaken all your senses.
Lillian didn't know what else to answer, she left the room and went towards hers, she was thoughtful, as she didn't know for sure the extent of Issac's pain at losing everything that had been built over so many generations. Its people are subjected to slavery and subjected to a magic of submission that goes against all their wishes. She didn't know what she would do if she were in Issac's position.
Issac knocked on the door and requested permission to enter. Lillian immediately approached Issac and hugged him.
— Issac, do you hate me for my kingdom invading yours? Because the people of his kingdom are being enslaved?
Issac looked worriedly at Lillian, he had never seen her like this.
— Issac, tell me the truth.
— Lillian, I...
