Am I Still Your Master(18+)

"Let's see what fate has in store for Kae. Will he prove to be a delightful toy or meet a grim end like the others?" The queen's voice dripped with malice as she laughed, her laughter echoing through the chamber, filling it with an eerie resonance.

The next morning, Kae woke feeling unusually refreshed, almost as if a new energy had taken root inside him. He stretched his limbs, muscles tingling with newfound strength. His eyes drifted toward Anna, who lay beside him, her chest rising and falling with the rhythm of her gentle breathing. For a moment, Kae's hardened expression softened.

"Time to start the day," he whispered under his breath.

Rising from the bed with a swift motion, Kae set about his morning routine. The room was still in disarray from the previous night's chaos, but he ignored the mess, his mind preoccupied. He washed his face, scrubbed his body, and dressed himself with an efficiency born from habit. As soon as he was ready, he left the room, bypassing the dining hall where the other consorts were having breakfast.

Kae had no appetite. What he craved was solitude, a space to test his newly acquired powers again without the prying eyes of others.

He then made his way towards the training ground, on getting there, the emptiness hit him like a wave. No one was present, and the air was still, haunted by the memories of the deadly confrontation that had taken place just the day before. His mind was flooded with the image of Tharros, his body broken, lifeless. The memory of their bloody vow felt like a weight pressing on his chest. Kae approached the spot where Tharros had fallen, kneeling down to touch the sand, the cold grains slipping through his fingers.

Standing once again, Kae's eyes shifted toward the grand structure looming over the training grounds, a fortress guarded by two Elyria guards. Ever since their training had begun, the consorts were forbidden from entering. They were allowed to train on the grounds but never explore the mysterious building.

'What secrets does it hold?' Kae's gaze lingered on the oblivious guards stationed at the entrance.

A smirk curled on his lips. 'I can get pass those guards and see what's inside that building. Finally! it's time to test my skills again,' he thought to himself.

Without further hesitation, Kae summoned the invisibility skill, feeling his body meld with the shadows as he disappeared from sight. His smirk widened as he approached the guarded entrance, moving silently past them, undetected. As his body phased through the solid stone walls, he entered the unknown.

Inside, the atmosphere was oppressive, the air thick with an unsettling, otherworldly energy. The grand hallway he found himself in was dimly lit. The floor was lined with dark marble, which seemed to drink in the light, twisting and warping it into something unnatural. Massive tapestries adorned the walls, depicting twisted landscapes of crimson skies, haunted forests, and skeletal mountains.

Ahead of him stood a grand staircase, spiraling upward into the darkness. Kae's eyes roamed the corridors, noting a series of doors on either side. Each door was marked with cryptic symbols that seemed to pulse with a malevolent glow, as if the secrets they guarded were too terrible for mortal minds to comprehend.

One of the doors creaked open with a heavy groan, and from it stepped Commander Aethera, dressed in a crimson gown that hugged her form. Her sudden appearance caught Kae off guard, and before he could act, his invisibility skill wore off, leaving him exposed in the dim hallway.

Aethera gasped, instinctively reaching for her sword. But the tension in her body faded when she recognized him. She quickly withdrew the blade, her expression softening with excitement as she gave a quick bow. "Master. You're here!"

Kae crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. "Am I still your master, or you've found another?"

"No, master! You will always be my master." Her voice trembled, and she looked up at him, her eyes filled with both reverence and desperation. "I thought I had offended you. You haven't called for me in days."

Kae smirked, the corners of his lips curling in amusement. The system had informed him of her growing anxiety.

"You're still mine," Kae said slowly, his voice low and deliberate, "so tell me what's happening in the palace. Anything of interest?"

"Yes, master." Aethera's face grew serious. "The consorts are to begin a new stage of training today, under Teacher Vynessa's supervision. It involves serving the queen directly. The queen… she already knows of your victory during the last training. She's eager to see you in person. Once the training concludes, she plans to meet with you herself and test your skills."

Kae's smirk widened at the thought. 'So the queen wants to test me?' His mind wandered, imagining the possibilities. 'Will she try to determine if I'll become a useful toy or have my life force drained like the others?' The irony of the situation amused him.

'If anyone will become a toy here, it'll be her,' Kae thought darkly, his smile stretching into something more sinister. 'I'll make every Elyria bow before me.'

"So...is that all? Kae raised an eyebrow. 'It's obvious the queen wasn't the one who sent Eirakon to get rid of me last night and it's definitely not you but someone else. But who?!' Kae thought to himself.

Aethera's posture shifted, her voice becoming softer, more intimate. " That's all about the palace but Master… ever since the last time we were together, I've felt my powers weakening. I believe it's because you haven't called for me in so long. Please…" Her voice dropped to a breathy whisper, and she bit her lip seductively. "I miss your dragon."

Kae raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What if this time you lose all your powers after we're intimate?"

"I don't care, master," she breathed, her eyes filled with longing. "I would gladly give up everything if it meant you'd love me… and continue to have me."

Kae chuckled darkly, his mind calculating. "And much time do we have before the others arrive?"

"An hour, master." She bit her lip again, her gaze traveling hungrily over his body.

Kae's eyes narrowed, his smile turning predatory. 'Perhaps this time I'll take everything from her. All her magical powers.'

"Strip!" he ordered, his voice hard with authority.

Aethera's breath hitched as she immediately obeyed. Her fingers fumbled with the laces of her gown, and within moments, she stood naked before him. Her body trembled with anticipation, her nipples hardening in the cool air.

Kae's gaze roamed over her exposed form, taking in every curve, every sign of her desire. "Her nipples are hard," he muttered with a satisfied smirk. His eyes gleamed as she knelt before him without being asked, lowering herself to the floor with reverence.

"Pull down my shorts," Kae commanded.

Aethera's hands shook slightly as she reached up, her fingers deftly working the fabric down his thighs, revealing his hardened length. She stared at it for a moment, her lips parting in awe.

"I missed you, master," she whispered, her voice trembling as her hands carefully cradled his dragon, as if holding something sacred.

"Then start sucking!" Kae ordered.

Without hesitation, Aethera obeyed, wrapping her lips around him as she began to work with eager precision. Her mouth moved up and down his length, the warmth of her lips and tongue sending waves of pleasure through him.
