Chapter 174 - Behind Enemy Lines (1/2)

I appear in a blood-red room with large windows overlooking an equally large dark garden. ”This will be your room, my Queen. I will send someone to help you get dressed for tonight, we will celebrate.” He gives me a dark sexy grin before walking out of the large room.

”It's a good thing I'm hungry..” I mutter with a blank face. This will be your last celebration... Suddenly, several women walk in and rush me over to take a bath. They walk me out to a side yard that houses a natural spring with warm water.

They pour in some oils and drop dark red rose petals into the water before helping me strip. I think about fighting them but then decide against it. I will play nice until I get my chance. After my bath, they bring over a dark red dress with shimmering black thread.

They help me dress and do my hair with a few dangling ornaments while putting a bit of makeup on me. They put on some bright red lipstick that goes well with the bold black eyeliner then lead me to a large room before announcing ”The Queen, has arrived.” The whole room grows quiet as I walk in as calmly as possible.

They were all men with solid black eyes! There were so many of them...  I never imagined there being this many! I keep my face blank as I walk into the room with my head held high. Men around me suck in at the sight of me but I ignore them and keep my eyes on the King.

He smiles at me and slowly stands, lifting his hand out to me. I walk over to him and take his hand, allowing him to seat me in the chair next to him. He gives me one last smile before turning back to his men and saying ”My men! Behold, your Queen! Is she not the most beautiful woman in all the Realms?”

The men all break out in cheers as the King says ”Tonight, we celebrate and enjoy the full winter moon! Evil is afoot men so we must enjoy ourselves to the fullest. Bring the women out!” With that, more cheers can be heard as numerous women are led into the large room.

They were all dressed up and looking like beautiful jewels. The men quickly make their way over with hungry eyes. Each one selecting a woman to hold and dance with. The King watches everything with a smirk and says ”Tonight, we will turn this full winter moon into a full blood moon!”

Cheers are again heard as sensual music begins playing. I keep my face blank but I can't help but frown internally when I see the women laughing and flirting with the men. Were they here because they wanted to be?

The large room was done up in nothing but dark reds and blacks, washing everything in a dark sexual vibe with the help of the dark music. The King sits beside me and asks ”So how is it, my Queen? Do you like what you see?”

Seeing the men and women both enjoying themselves, I feel myself relax a little as I say ”It indeed looks nice. To be honest, I thought you were all a bunch of heathens.” The King chuckles and says ”Oh we can be heathens but we also know how to party and have fun. Are you hungry, Nova?”

I look over to his handsome face and say ”You know my name but I don't know yours...” The King watches me closely as he says ”Everyone calls me King but you may call me Jiang. Now, are you hungry?”

I arch an eyebrow at him and say ”I am, are you going to let me eat a few of your men?” His smile turns dark as he says ”What kind of King would I be if I let my men get eaten? Besides, I am more than enough to feed you.”

This time I can't hind my shock as I look at him with confusion. He was gonna let me eat him? Was he not afraid I'd kill him? Seeing my shock, he chuckles in delight as he says ”From now on, whenever you are hungry, come to me. I will give you everything, Nova.”
