Hellan had ditched the party together with her betrothed. It should be known, Hellan was a good girl, Linda had made sure of it. Linda was extra strict with Hellan as she was afraid she might turn out like her other younger sister. Alex was wild, the kind who did whatever she felt like whenever she felt like it, but she wasn't going to lose her maidenhood under Linda's watch. Alex would occasionally have her fun with men she hypnotised, but she never crossed the line. She was also afraid of Linda's temper. So sneaking out was Her fiancées idea. In keel's clan, the men aren't given names as they are their patrons property. Hence, Hellan's fiancée was simply called keel's first chosen and he wasn't known for being patient. He was also blind.
He had accepted getting engaged to Hellan for two reasons alone, One, they wanted to secure the alignment to the Cresworth family. Two he fell in love with Hellan's waist the night they danced. Keel's first chosen, also the current reigning king of the Golden valleys, a region found on the south eastern part of the continent, declared he had found a wife on that same night. Hellan didn't object neither did she accept his hand, she just innocently smiled. Linda had asked her severally but the young maiden didn't budge so she remained engaged.
Today, when they met, for the first time after a while, the man claimed her lips unexpectedly. Hellan was well taught so she didn't resist, as a matter of fact she had grown to love the man. After watching Shin for a while, she left him in Alex's care. This was irresponsible of her but she need to continue bonding with her husband to be. And she also made sure to repeatedly remind Alex to watch the man she went to her fiancée. They danced and openly flirted with each other. They even greeted other nobles together, if only there was an artist in the party they could have gotten their photo drawn. After feeling Hellan's behind on him and holding her waist, keel's first chosen could no longer hold it in. He whispered into Hellan's ear.
'Let's go on a walk' This was very romantic to people who were watching them. Hellan blushed heavily and innocently nodded her head. They proceeded to leave the hall hand in hand earning jealous gazes from men and women alike. They walked in silence until they got to a dark corner of the palace. Kellan slyly pushed Hellan onto the wall and caged her in with his arms. Even though the man was blind, he could still see with the help of his other senses. He had once explained to Hellan how everybody had a distinct scent, a distinct walking style and a way they talk and sound. From these they would draw a mental image of the person. And now that he had tasted Hellan, he could never mistake her even if he was compelled.
'We aren't allowed to do this' Hellan said as she panted between kisses. Currently the man had cupped her chin and was wildly marking her neck and shoulders with his kisses.
'Aren't allowed to do what?' Being taller than her, Hellan had to raise her head up to look at him, this added to the innocent cuteness she had. She shyly looked away from the man.
'Linda said we need tom be married do this' The man laughed and looked at her. He held her chin and kissed her again.
'She can try to stop me' he smiled at the pouting lady. He picked up Hellan bridal style. Hellan was about fifty-two kgs. She was by no means petite but the man lifted her with ease.
'How about tonight this kings gives his queen a tour of her castle' Hellan put her hand around his neck, holding tight so as not to fall off. The man stepped into the shadows. This was one of the abilities one received when Keel chose you as one of his own. Hellan felt dizzy as the darkness around her shifted. The man took three steps in the dark and when they emerged, they were in a dim, no in a dark room. There was no light in this room. Hellan was about to let go of the man when she felt herself land on a soft cushion bed. The man pinned her down again.
'Wh…?' Hellan's mouth was shut by the man's lips. She reciprocated the kiss out of habit. After a few breaths, Hellan was no controlling the flow of the kiss. The man started pulling on her dress and Hellan let her. She had completely submitted to the man. She knew what she was doing wasn't right, she also knew that Linda would blow a roof if she knew, but she would never tell and the man fondling her God given gifts would not tell so like a misguided young virgin lady, she stupidly let the man guide her.
A few hours back, in the party, Shin realised his bottle wasn't really doing it for him. Using his idiotic knowledge of alcohol, he mixed everything up in one bottle and took a sip. If any of the current guest took a sip form his drink the might never make it to tomorrow. But for Shin, it was mediocre at best, He would also steal, I mean take a bottle forcefully from the barman. At his tenth bottle, he suddenly felt something but it was too short for comfort. Currently, he was getting hauled by two guards, exactly where they were taking him, he hadn't a clue. He could vaguely remember empting everything he had for supper. He regretted this the most, even more than getting shackled by a mortal. He turned and looked at the two guards whose faces had turned red because of the strain of carrying somebody several times their weight.
Shin saw this but then again the feeling of getting carried around was something he missed a lot. Especially seeing their strained red faces. He leaned back and was about to enjoy the ride when a familiar sweet scent assaulted his nose. He weakly raised his head and looked past the shoulders of the man who was carrying him. He saw paradise, the palace kitchen. He grinned and jumped from the men's hold and rushed into the kitchen. For Shin, this could have been a very normal thing to do but for the men hauling him, it was troublesome. For them, they just felt the massive weight they were carrying suddenly become light and disappeared before their eyes. They stayed in the position of carrying the man for a moment as they couldn't believe exactly what was going on. They looked at each other and started sweating buckets, they had lost a drunk noble. No matter how you looked at it, this was not going to end well for them. Either the noble would have done some stupid things that would get them hanged, or his family might get even with them. The best case scenario would be getting away with a whipping. They split up and started searching for the noble whom they didn't even know the name of.
Meanwhile, as the men were rubbing their throats worried they might lose the organ it supports, Shin was seated on a counter swinging his legs like a happy kid. He was currently enjoying a pie. The head cook was kind enough to serve him her best. The cook knew the man was a noble, he appeared drunk so the cook gave him some food as she prepared some soup for him. Every bite was magical to Shin. He would occasionally moan in joy. The servants were at first scared of the man, most nobles don't enter the kitchen, such jobs were specially reserved for commoners, so seeing a noble in the kitchen, they thought they had done something wrong. It was only when Shin sat on the counter and asked the head cook for something to eat did the servants start calming down. Shin reached for bread that was straight out of the oven. He pinched a little and threw it into his mouth.
'Wonderful' he moaned as he chewed. He pinched another piece, dipped it into a broth he had been served. He closed his eyes while chewing in happiness. This was a feeling not even Shin could describe, eating was one of the joys Shin had in this world, and he almost lost that feeling. The cooks around him couldn't help but smile. Never before has a noble praised their hard work. Even if the meal was heavenly, they would never admit a commoner did something good, but here was Shin, a noble in a suit and a red shirt, moaning in happiness with every bite he took. This went on for about half an hour. Shin had almost eaten the kitchen dry. He was currently enjoying a strawberry cake. He had just put a spoonful into his mouth, when he suddenly froze. The cooks and servants became afraid again. They were afraid they had done something wrong hence Shins reaction. Before they could ask the man what their mistake was, they had the spoon drop. The man had disappeared from their sight. It was at this time that the two guards who were tasked with Hauling Shin finally walked into the kitchen while panting.
At one of the palaces next to the Nurr's palace, specifically the dark, gloomy one, Hellan had stripped down only one piece of fabric was left. Keel's first chosen was actively toying within the chest making the young lady moan in pleasure. The number of kisses she had received were too many to count. Hellan at first had doubts but not anymore, she was now even rocking to Keel's first chosen's rhythm. His hand was now in the pleasure palace and Hellan was slowly losing her mind, together with her facial expressions.
The man quickly got rid of everything he wore, there was now a candle lighting the room to some extent. Hellan could see the man's toned structure, his war scars, she couldn't stop her hand that felt the man. She started from his chest, down to his abs and they were well on their way down there where the sun never shines. As she was about to grab what was not hers, yet, the man yanked the small fabric on Hellan's body. She was now at natures mercies. The man leaned in and kissed her fiercely. When they broke apart, the man nodded at Hellan and she shyly nodded back. It was finally time to graduate from girlhood. The man positioned himself gave Hellan another nod and was ready to drive in. As a matter of fact his muscles were already tense. It was then that the two of them had a third voice from the room.
'Look at you two sinners' it was Shin's baritone. He was surprisingly sited by the bedside. Hellan quickly covered herself up and the man reached out for the daggers at the floor. The completely naked man stepped into the shadows and pointed his dagger at Shins neck. Shin was unfazed by the man, he only looked at Hellan, coldly. He looked down on the dagger that was on his neck. It was already drawing some blood. He leaned back on the chair he was sitting on. Keel's first chosen was a bit taken aback, no man had every behave like this, at least not with a dagger on their necks. Hellan was still covering herself with sheets looking at both men. Her fiancée withdrew his dagger, change his hold on it and went for the kill.
Anybody who could walk into his palace without any of the guards or him feeling his presence was someone to fear. The keels were born assassins, their detection ability were nothing short of heavenly, yet this man appeared in his room, for how long he was there dint matter. So keel wanted to get rid of him fast.
'No stop…' Hellan was late. The man brought his dagger down quickly on the man's head. The man froze when the dagger was just inches above the man's head. For that short second, he felt death grab him by the neck. Shin didn't even look at him, yet the man dropped the weapon and took a couple steps back. For an assassin to drop his weapon, it was no small matter. Hellan didn't know what exactly happened as Shin only realised his killing intent on the man.
'Why are you here?' Hellan left the bed while still covering herself within the sheets. She started wearing her clothes.
'You can't lose your virginity' Hellan almost nosebleed when she heard what Shin had said. She let the sheet fall as she was now a bit modestly dressed. 'You would die' she shivered when she heard that.
'really?' She asked innocently.
'And you…' he turned to the man, Shin was about to tell the man something but then he thought otherwise. 'Leave' Ordering people out of a room in their home was starting to become a habit to Shin. As the man was about to leave, he was still naked though, Shin called back the man. The man couldn't refuse an order from the man, at least not now.
'We need to get back to the palace' The man nodded and a few minutes later, Shin and Hellan walked out of the palace. They found Linda waiting for them, next to her was Alex. Both raised an eyebrow at Hellan. Hellan was a mess, her clothes were worn right, but her makeup was wiped out, and multiple hickeys covered her face. She subconsciously hid behind Shin. Their carriage came around and they left home in silence everyone looking out the window thinking whatever they currently had bothering them.
