Chapter 74: Mark My Words: Let Her Watch
Leaves drifted past Levi’s face as he lowered his gaze to Empress Diana. "Let her come."
Cloth rustled as he brushed his palms across the lower backs of Mother Beatrice and Maya Sirius.
The translucent panel reeled before Levi as he walked to the blasted door of the tower with his hands resting on their asses.
[Warning: Spatial Rift Detected.]
[External Threat: The Heavenly Vanguard is descending.]
[Target Name: Mia, the Lust Goddess’s Daughter.]
[Rank: Low-Tier Grandmaster (Divine).]
[Attraction: Absolute Celibacy.]
[Inversion Potential: Total Corruption / Deep Nymphomania.]
[Desire Level: 2%.]
[A deep, aggressive disgust covering a subconscious urge to seek revenge.]
Levi sighed and shook his head slightly with a smile. ’So, she’s not just Mimi’s partner?’
Chills ran down Mother Beatrice’s and Maya Sirius’s spines under his touch.
Boots clicked at the front of the tower as Empress Diana rushed out, following Levi and his two lovely ladies. "Wait for me..."
Dust swirled up and clung to Empress Diana’s thighs through the torn section of her royal purple combat gown. "I can’t stay here like this."
Warm flashes of sparkling light glittered on Levi as countless black birds with crimson eyes standing atop the palace’s trees turned their sharp gazes in his direction.
The hems of Levi’s trousers swept across the dusty cobblestones as he focused on one black bird with a single line of purple feathers at its beak. ’I guess she’s enjoying her view from their perspective.’
Levi matched the bird’s gaze, offering a sharp wink before turning to the slow-walking Empress.
Maya Sirius stepped to Levi’s side, kowtowing deeply. "My King..."
Her heavy, soft breasts wobbled as she straightened and locked her crimson eyes onto Levi’s. "Should I call for my carriage?"
Tiny dark lines lingered beneath her eyelids as her gaze shifted to the flock of crimson-eyed birds.
A hot wave of air brushed her cheeks when Levi placed his palm on her shoulder and leaned in. "Why ask?"
His eyebrows narrowed while he slowly licked his lips. "That will get us to the Pendant Tower in seconds."
Mother Beatrice closed in on Levi’s left. "Sure."
She offered an aroused gaze to Maya Sirius. "Let them come. I need to relieve my legs from what they went through last night."
A quiet gasp caught in Maya Sirius’s throat when she caught the sudden change in Levi’s eyes. ’You will get us caught with your words, Beatrice...’
A faint smile tore onto Maya’s lips as she summoned her crimson-winged beasts to fly the carriage from the Pendant Tower to the palace entrance.
Sharp gasps filled the air as Empress Diana stopped two feet from him. Gusts of wind lifted the base of her royal purple combat gown.
Levi’s eyelids raised as the draft exposed the glorious thighs of Empress Diana. ’Damn... this lady is such a beauty in daylight.’
Levi swallowed hard as he took her in.
Tiny pieces of crimson feathers rained on them when Maya Sirius’s crimson-winged beasts brought the carriage down.
Air currents whipped around the carriage while all the black birds on the branches burst upward.
Heat rolled off the fur of the crimson-winged beasts as they roared at the seven remaining black birds staying put.
Dust parted as the beasts touched down, scattering loose gravel across the courtyard.
Low wails escaped the creatures while they shook their coats. Their eyes flashed red when Empress Diana stepped into view.
Maya Sirius dashed forward quickly and stretched her right arm to settle them. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Heavy thuds vibrated through the ground as the two front beasts kicked their hooves, grinding their teeth.
Maya stepped in, brushing her palms gently over the creatures’ foreheads. "It’s okay..."
She cast a calm look toward Empress Diana. "She’s not the same lady that once tried to get you killed."
Levi turned his neck with a quick crack, snapping his gaze straight to Empress Diana. "What? You tried to kill these wonderful creatures?"
Maya Sirius’s chest heaved as a faint giggle escaped her. "It’s not like how you’re hearing it, my King."
Empress Diana stood there with flushed cheeks, remembering when she once rode the creatures and nearly crashed them into a steep mountain. ’Do creatures keep memories also?’
Her shoulders sloped slightly as she pulled the torn portion of her combat gown upward.
Levi cleared his throat and snapped his fingers when he caught the playful look in Maya’s eyes. "You’ve got to tell me what really happened for these creatures to want to repay the Empress with death."
Maya bowed her head slightly to Levi. ’You wouldn’t want to hear it... but since you asked, I’ve got no choice but to tell you.’
Mother Beatrice stomped her right foot against the cobblestones and sighed heavily. "Are we going to the Pendant Tower or not?"
Maya shared a silent look with Mother Beatrice, then nodded. "We are..."
Mother Beatrice climbed into the carriage when Maya gestured to her. The moment Empress Diana moved a step closer to the carriage’s black door, a sharp gust blasted out of the two crimson-winged creatures at the back.
Her hands trembled slightly when she saw Maya staring at her. "Are you sure it’s good if I join the carriage? I can..."
"There is no other option." Levi moved forward and stood behind her. Chills ran down Empress Diana when she felt Levi’s firm arousal brush right against the crease between her soft, raised ass...
Levi placed a hand on Empress Diana’s shoulder, then sighed. "You are going wherever we are going."
Strands of Empress Diana’s silver hair brushed against Levi’s face as he leaned in close to her neck, pressing a single kiss against her skin. "I was getting tired..."
He shifted his lips, pressing warm kisses against the Empress until her entire body trembled against him.
A click of wood echoed as Maya Sirius stepped away from the crimson-winged beasts, stopping five feet from them. "I think you can do that inside. Walls have ears and eyes."
Levi pulled his head back, his fingers tracing light paths over Empress Diana’s skin. "I want them, especially the Lust Goddess’s daughter, to see how she’ll end up since she’s after me."
Just as Levi turned and guided the Empress into the carriage, the branches overhead shook violently.
Countless black feathers rained over the courtyard as the seven crimson-eyed birds blinked down at the carriage, then burst into the sky with sharp, piercing cries.
