Imperial Year 792: The Fall of the Empire 

The Imperial Family was destroyed—by the hand of Duke Calix Cloud. 

Princess Aria’s residence was relocated overnight from the Imperial Palace to Duke Cloud’s estate. After massacring the Imperial Family, he personally brought her there. 

Unaware of the truth, Aria believed he had spared her life and expressed her gratitude. 

“Th-Thank you, Duke.” 

“For what, exactly?” 

“They say all members of the Imperial Family were slaughtered… but you saved me…” 

Calix sneered at her words. 

“Saved you? No, I claimed you as my own.” 

“W-What?” 

“You are now my possession, and I will dispose of you as I see fit.” 

“D-Dispose of me? What do you mean?” 

It was then that she realized she was completely n*ked. She had heard that it was the duke who had brought her here, but did that mean he had also stripped her? Startled, Aria pulled the blanket over herself. 

Calix leisurely smiled and gently ran his hand through her hair. 

“Have you ever heard of the Bride Auction House?” 

“B-Bride Auction House?” 

“Why are you so surprised? Weren’t you prepared to be sold off to Lusanna for the sake of the Empire?” 

“Sold off? I… I was merely making a choice for the Empire’s prosperity…” 

Lusanna was a neighboring kingdom. Unlike the declining Empire, Lusanna was a rising power, rich in resources and military strength. Aria had been ordered by the Emperor to marry Lusanna’s aging king. She had even rejected Duke Cloud’s proposal to fulfill this duty. Though the revolution disrupted the marriage plans, it had been her destiny. 

Calix’s eyes gleamed as he spoke to Aria. 

“Well, you’re no longer a princess, so you won’t have to make such filthy choices anymore.” 

“F-Filthy? I was only…” 

“You said you’d do anything for the Empire, didn’t you?” 

“Yes, that’s right.” 

Calix let out a dry laugh. He then abruptly yanked away the blanket Aria had been using to cover herself, exposing her ample chest. He grabbed one of her br*asts, filling his hand completely. 

“Ah…!” 

“From now on, I am your master. You will do everything for me, not the Empire.” 

“M-Master? What are you saying… Ahh.” 

When Aria tried to protest, he pinched her n*pple hard. As he scratched and twisted it with his nails, Aria let out a soft, helpless moan. 

“Ahh… Ahh.” 

“Yes, cry and respond only to my touch like this. Soon, even the sound of my voice will make you wet.”

He whispered into Aria’s ear with a devilish voice. His tongue traced the curves of her ear meticulously before he bit down lightly. As he persistently teased her n*pples, he asked the grimacing Aria a question. 

“Does it hurt?” 

“Yes… It hurts… Sob…” 

“If I touch them often enough, you’ll start to feel pleasure.” 

“Ahh!” 

Watching Aria squirm and blush, he spread her legs and positioned himself between them. His fingers slowly slid up her exposed private area. 

“Ahh… Ugh…” 

“Has anyone touched you here before?” 

“No… No one.” 

Satisfied with her answer, he pressed down on her cl*toris before moving lower to prod at her entrance. 

“Ahhh!” 

“Then no man has ever entered you here either.” 

“It hurts!” 

“Yes, I can tell. It seems there’s barely enough space for even a single finger.” 

He tried to rotate his finger around her entrance as if to test its resistance, but penetrating deeper proved difficult. Her tightness resisted the unfamiliar intrusion, remaining firmly closed. 

“You’ll need to get used to this slowly.” 

“Ahh… Ugh…” 

“Well then, shall we start here?” 

He spoke while putting on a thin leather glove. As Aria stared at him with bewildered eyes, he placed his broad palm against her private area and began moving it gently up and down. 

“Ahh… Ugh!” 

“How does it feel?” 

“It’s strange… Ahh… Let me go!” 

“It’s not strange; it’s good. Feel it—your toes warming up, your body tingling, and your mind going blank?” 

“No… I hate it… Ahhh…”

“It’s not hate—it’s pleasure. You’ll see. It seems your education as a princess will take quite some time.” 

He raised his thumb and began rubbing her cl*toris. As he pressed against the sensitive peak, Aria instinctively closed her legs tightly and trembled. But Calix firmly spread her thighs apart again and pressed them down. 

“Closing your legs during training is unacceptable.” 

“But… I can’t… Ahhh!” 

“Don’t fear pleasure. If it becomes unbearable, try coping by squeezing your own br*asts like a desperate b*tch.” 

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his knee against her thighs, keeping them spread wide. Her drenched private area glistened with moisture, dripping slightly. Calix collected the fluid on his hand and showed it to Aria. 

“Look at this. This is proof that you’re aroused and enjoying the pleasure.” 

“No… No… I’m not…” 

“Still denying it, are you?” 

“Ahhh!” 

Calix placed his hand on her cl*toris and shook it side to side. The sensitive nub, struck repeatedly by his rough fingers, hardened and caused her to experience an overwhelming sensation. 

“Ahhh! Stop! Please stop! Ugh!” 

Despite Aria’s desperate pleas, Calix did not stop. He continued teasing and tormenting her cl*toris until she reached a peak that bordered on pain. Her lower body was soaked with fluids by the time he finally paused. 

“Ahh… Ugh…” 

The trembling of her thighs beneath his knee signaled her climax. Calix, seemingly excited by this, licked the fluids off his hand and spoke. 

“Ha… Let’s see if your entrance has loosened up now.” 

“Ugh… What are you…” 

He spread her entrance wide using two fingers. Though still tight, the fluids dripping from her made penetration seem easier. He coated his fingers in her fluids before pushing them inside. 

“Ahh… Ahhh! Ugh!” 

“This is a rewarding entrance to touch, isn’t it? Do you see?” 

“Stop it! Please… Sob…” 

“Stop? Why?” 

Calix chuckled as he grabbed her br*asts and gently shook them. Her soft, round flesh bounced with the motion, quickly reddening from his touch.

“Ugh!” 

“You have quite the insolent tone for someone speaking to her master. Are you confused, thinking I’m still treating you as royalty?” 

His voice darkened, carrying a heavy weight. Feeling his authoritative tone, Aria refrained from further resistance and kept silent. Only then did he seem satisfied, moving his fingers back and forth within her. 

“Ahh… Ugh…”

“You should make a sound. Don’t you know how?” 

“Ahh… What… Ugh!” 

He curled the fingers he had thrust inside into a hook and began moving them vigorously, pressing against the most sensitive part of her inner walls. Aria clung to his arm, trembling uncontrollably. 

“It’s alright. You’ll get used to it gradually.” 

“Ahhh! Ahh… Ahhh!” 

“It seems you’re already getting used to it.” 

“Ahh… Ahhh!” 

When he simultaneously touched her cl*toris, Aria let out a sharp moan, overwhelmed by the sensations. Her legs were painfully spread apart, her lower body felt foreign and uncomfortable, and there wasn’t a single part of her that didn’t ache. Yet, the pleasure that overtook her body far outweighed the pain. It was an intense, almost frightening pleasure. 

“Hah… Hah…”

Calix gently caressed Aria’s chest, which had gone limp from her climax, and smiled elegantly. 

“Well then, shall we start over from the beginning?” 

It was the beginning of a very long night.
