Chapter Duty or heart
Samael
“Iris…Do you want us to drop all charges against him, and just clear your abduction and incarceration, so there will be no consequences?
Not to mention all the harm you suffered there.” I asked her.
Satine gets up and says:
"It’s not without consequences dad, you burned down the whole coven and killed everyone who harmed her. They paid for their crimes.
Romeo doesn’t have to pay anything. Iris has just proven that he was never involved in any of this and that he fought against it.
He’s 21, and you’ve kept him chained up and abused for days... that’s enough. And if you take a few minutes to really assess him, you will understand that he is innocent."
Iris looks at me and speaks:
"Samael… Please. I know you need revenge, but apparently, it’s already been accomplished.
We will focus on the future, on the work that remains to be done to regain peace and maintain it, that is how you will get your real revenge."
She really wants to clear him. I have to hear it. It is a fair and impartial trial.
I feel that my mother is watching me with great attention.
Even if I don’t like the idea of releasing him, I have to be objective.
I resume:
“Does anyone have anything to add? Do you have any other questions for the accused?"
Silence. I pursue to enclose:
" In this case:
Romeo Vossen, son of Shezaar the sorcerer, and son of the water nymphs,
I grant you your freedom... Under conditions.
You won’t be able to get away and reunite with your loved ones for a while, I won’t be releasing you back into the wild anytime soon.
I want to be able to assess you and make sure you won’t betray us, the whole guard will have their eye on you as well.
Any suspicion of conspiracy against me, my reign or my family that emanates from you will lead to your immediate imprisonment, and this, for life.
Ah, and… don’t get too close to my daughter.
In any case, now that I have my sight back, I see everything, and I hope that what I see of you will satisfy me.
If you refuse these conditions, it will be banishment, definitive."
Without delay, He answered: "I accept the conditions, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Good. The trial is over." I said.
The whole court rises and cheers their lenient and forgiving king... I feel like I’m being cheated at the moment. But I won’t let go.
For now, I leave my post, grabbed my gorgeous blonde mate, and take her away from all this mess.
Iris
He did it...
He came to get me, he burned them all, and he managed to get me out of my limbo where I was a prisoner...
But not quite alone...
He grabbed me and carried me as if he couldn’t wait for us to be alone.
I tell him:
"I can walk you know? Not very well yet, but still, I look like a cripple here." I said to him.
"No, I want to have you against me, I want to have you all to myself, and you don’t look like a cripple but like my partner that I really want to find alone." He told me, rushed.
Arrived at the door of his room, he shouts to his guards:
"Let no one lurk on this floor! ...and always keep an eye out for the freshly released kid."
"At your command, Monsignor."
He still doesn’t put me down, we enter the room then close the door with his foot and he puts me on the bed.
" Do you feel good?
Talk to me, tell me how I can help you get better, and if I still have to kick some asses." He said to me.
"hahahahaa, no that’s enough. I think you’ve done enough damage, besides, I can’t wait to hear all about it." I told him, laughing.
"I’m not the only one to have done damage. How did you manage to manipulate fire, Iris? I’m afraid I’ve screwed you up or something." He said, worried.
I can't help bursting out laughing "Hahahaaaha… Stop making me laugh like that! No, you didn’t break me.
But yes, there is demon essence in me, Samael."
He looks at me, really concerned, and tell "What? But then I gave you some kind of curse without meaning to? No…"
"Samael, stop. Look at me,
Yes, you gave me something.
But it’s the opposite of a curse." I said... moved.
He looks at me, widening his eyes and raising his eyebrows so much that they are in the middle of his forehead.
I continue "Yes, I am carrying your child. He helped me stay strong and fiercely defend myself against evil in person.
What you gave me goes far beyond anything you can give to someone...
Our connection built was so powerful...
You gave me life, eternal joy, and love...
Because today I love you so much that it makes me invincible, I feel you with me deeper inside of all I am...
Our bond is strong and beautiful…
I don’t want to be away from you anymore."
"… Marry me…" He said, determined.
"What?!" I asked, wondering if it was really what he says...
"Marry me, please." He said again.
"Hahahaa Samael, that’s not it, but, really? I...
my God, I would love this!
But I don’t want a title, you know that? I don’t want to be queen, it’s not me..." I answered, in trouble.
"So don’t take the title, be my wife, that’s all.
I want you near me forever, I want to be able to protect you and die with you when the time comes... You're already some kind of part of me... Please..." He insisted.
"Yes, Samael, a thousand times yes!"
I cry hot tears and finally let go of all the tensions we’ve been through together... He hugs me, kisses me on the neck, on the forehead...
His hands grab my face, and he gently kisses my lips…
His hot tongue in my mouth makes me eager for what’s next...
He lies down slowly on me, continuing to devour me whole...
"I’m afraid to break you my darling, you are still recovering." He said.
"I’m not into sugar, and I forbid you to stop there." I told him.
He continues to kiss me everywhere… and says:
"I would have warned you… I missed you… so much… My beautiful mate… You, my saviour…
My tough, delicious witch, pregnant with my baby...
You made me crazy about you, you won’t get out of here for a long time..."
"Oh, anyway, what’s the best way to wake up all my nerves, my king?"
His eyes turned red at this time. He undressed me and devoured my breast and body without consideration...
I encourage him to take me without delay.
Our reunion sparks electrify us, consume us with passion.
He delights me like a hungry wolf...
And the apotheosis invades my whole body again and again...
We spend the rest of the day in each other’s arms, hugging, touching, never satisfied with the contact of our tangled bodies.
I have him in my skin, in my heart, our souls are purely and madly linked for eternity.
