The Tyrant's Wife {Under Editing}

7

Sabellius looked at the woman who was his wife. She was barefoot so she was aware of where she was. Her eyes were blindfolded. In her hand was a tray with ointment and tea? On the side was incense burning. Those tend to have a strong scent but it didn't bother him, he looked at her face that was beat red. She stood there not stepping back or forth.

Somehow he finds the sight of her not moving back or forth cute.

"What are you doing" he asked

She flinched, startled , her body was trembling from embarrassment, he didn't know what there was to be embarrassed about. Technically they were married even though they've never done it before , not even so much as a kiss.

"I-I was.... um.. b-bringing some beverage so you can relax with it while you take your bath" she said quickly, while stuttering feeling flustered

Was this her way of seducing him, it sure wasn't working she looked like a clumsy rabbit looking before its predator. But it was cute.

"And how are you going to put that down with the blindfold?" he asked his tone was a bit lower

".......I was hoping, you'd guide me" she said

He looked at her for a while in silence which made her nervous

"Okay, move to your right" he said gazing at her

She started walking carefully to the right

"Make a slight turn, there is a vase in front of you now. head straight and stop put it right there" he instructs carefully

After finishing, she turned back to leave but Sabellious had missed the puddle on the floor, and now she was walking towards the puddle.

*slip*

*pow*

Aria fell to the ground and hit her hips as she winched out in pain soon, the black blindfold came off and there eyes met. Ariadna blushed and embarrassed. This was the first time I saw a man's body. She got up quickly and bowed.

"I'm sorry?!"

She quickly ran out flustered. ''It seems her only intentions were to just serve tea'', Sabellius thought there was nothing to really be embarrassed about they were husband and wife even if he had detest the idea, well what's done is done there is no time to preach about the past now.

The next few days went by normally and he had gotten back to his usual state, everything was in order and there was no one to bother him now. It was time to report to that troublesome emperor; who was his father; whom he hated. When he saw that Aria had escorted him and saw him off he didn't get why she was doing this? She was his wife but not out of love or proper arrangements. There was no need for her to follow him to the gate.

Sabellius bowed before the emperor who was glaring down at him disappointed that Sabellius was alive.

"You've done well for both yourself and your empire". The emperor said, but his words meant no good, he was not happy, not satisfied.

Sabellius hold his tongue to not curse at this man

"Well no good deed should go unrewarded" he continued, "you shall be entitled Duke and you will be commander of the main army along with that you shall own Balnere"

Sabellius felt like something was wrong there was no way the emperor was going to freely give such rewards freely especially to him, except for Balnere everything was great this was suspicious the emperor hated him and it was clear even now hatred was printed on his face.

"But!"

Ah as expected he did had something planned

"Right now as we speak Mandela's kingdom is planning something against us and is planning to go to war, you've won one gruesome battle you can win another right". The emperor grinned delightfully.

It wasn't too long ago he came out of a gruesome battle now he must go in another, Mandela was a powerful kingdom. How did he manage to offend such a kingdom? Was he determined to get rid of him?. This made Sabellius burn with rage, if this was how he was going to play it fine he will not show a hint of mercy, he will survive and will get back at him and it with this. He promises.

"Yes your majesty" he said sternly clenching his fist.

"Brother is such a warrior, I'm sure he won't lose" his half brother Athanasius, mocked looking down on him

Sabellius looked up at Athanasius, he was a coward troublemaker, how was he fit to be a ruler. He's useless. Athanasius had golden eyes and black hair; the only thing he rules over is the many lovers he has, yet he dared to mock Sabellious; this will not be ignored.
