The Galali Kingdom had been informed of the pair of Kael and Valencia. Newspaper thrown in the market with the news, while another landed on Geraldâs hand.
He seethed, crumbling the paper. Then he slammed it to the ground and stomped on it.
âFuck! What happened when everything was going according to plan?!â he shouted. Before he could think furtherâ
âGeraldâŠâ Cindalle called softly from the door. She closed the door behind her and looked at him. Gerald frowned. âYou were too hasty on thisâŠâ
âMother, stay out of thisââ
Cindalle slapped Gerald across the face. Gerald froze, glaring at her as his cheek bruised.
âWhy did you do that? I told you to waitâŠâ
Geraldâs eyes twitched.
âHow dare you slapâ?â
SLAP.
âWhy? Because Iâm not your biological mother?â she taunted. Gerald clenched his fists. She smirked. âIâm here to help you⊠but if you keep messing up and ruining my plan, I wonât forgive you and your father.â
âAnd why should I listen to a nobody like you?â
Cindalle sneered.
âBecauseâŠâ she paused, stepping into his face. âWithout me, your father wouldnât be a kingâŠâ
âHehâŠâ Gerald scoffed.
Cindalle rolled her eyes, walking to his wine basket and pouring herself a glass. She swirled the red wine in a circle before turning back to him.
âWho is that lady beside the Light Esper?â Cindalle questioned.
Gerald grunted.
âI donât fucking know⊠all I know is that he was adamant in keeping her by his sideâŠâ
âWhat do you mean by âyou donât knowâ?â she responded. They locked eyes as she sipped. âI guess being a prince doesnât give you the privilege to know everythingâŠâ
She slammed the glass down, spilling some on the table. Then she brushed past him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
âDonât talk to me like thatâŠâ Gerald demanded. She slapped his hand off. He quickly grabbed her neck and seethed. âWhat the fuckâ?â
âWhen you have little to no Light aura in you⊠what makes you think youâll become the next king? The people will choose that Young Duke over you anytime,â Cindalle threatened, smiling. âUnless you marry a saint like your father did⊠after he left your mother to die.â
âShut the fuck up! You made him do itââ
âWhat? You canât accept that your father didnât love your mother?â she taunted.
Gerald lifted her by the neck.
âI told you to shut upâŠâ he muttered.
She grinned and brushed his hair back.
âWhen I turn your age, I hope I get the world under my palmâŠâ she whispered. Then she leaned closer, tipping her toes. âAfter your father dies⊠and if you wantâŠâ
Gerald looked at her. A woman nearly his age, two decades younger than his father. He smirked and pulled her in for a kiss, devouring her warm breath from the wine.
He hugged her below the thighs, carrying her to his bed while locking tongues. She moaned as he groped her chest and slid the other hand under her dress rem. He pinned her wrists down after ripping her leggings.
âWho told you to marry my father when you could have married me?â Gerald murmured against her ear.
She hugged his neck and pulled him near with a sly grin.
âYou should have found me before your father thenâŠâ
Gerald sneered as he stared at her. He tore her top and removed her dress. Then he undressed himself as she watched. He leaned downâ
Cindalle pushed him down and sat over his waist.
âHeh⊠what are you doingâ?â
She reached behind her bottom, grabbing his shaft. He groaned and held her curves.
âYou know⊠your father only sees women as tools to keep him on the throneâŠâ she started, then she gasped.
Gerald rubbed his thumb between her legs.
âYou lust for my bodyâŠâ he teased, then he pressed her sensitive spot.
She leaned her head back, staring at the curtains on top of the mattress and letting out a moan. She ground against his thumb, leaking. Gerald watched her move and grinned eagerly as he applied more pressure. Then he slipped it inside her warmth, while she rocked her hips, panting.
âI bet my father doesnât get you this aroused⊠heâs too old for this,â he mocked.
Cindalle smiled and lifted her lower body. She turned around and placed her legs beside each of his ears.
âThen make me screamâŠâ she added. Gerald cackled before revealing her layered hole. He pressed his face to it, smearing her juice with his tongue. âYeah⊠rougherâŠâ
She then grabbed his shaft tightly, stroking up and down. She opened her mouth and sucked the tip to the end, licking.
Gerald closed his eyes with the pleasure peaking on his lower half. He then pressed one finger inside her, thrusting in the rhythm of her hips moving back and forth. She lowered her chest, touching his belly with her breast.
âMoreâŠâ she gasped, curving her back.
He smirked and pushed her hip onto the bed. She landed and stared at him, while he pulled her hair back. She grinned.
âYou like it rough, donât you?â he whispered, then he spread her legs and muffled her with a kiss. He moved between her legs, grinding himself into her. His tipâ
