The Beast And The Tamer [MoonSun] Complete

Chapter 20

The night was very busy, and the citizens greatly enjoyed it, the merchants made good deals and the Moon-Kim kingdom established an intercultural precedent.

Soon the nobles retired to the main hall inside the palace, to be able to participate in the banquet, the closing event of the fair;  Yongsun and Byul after a little chat also went to that place to taste the dishes that would be offered.

When they were all seated at the huge banquet table, the regents could see familiar faces, Yongsun especially was struck by the big smile that Eric had, it was so wide and strange that it seemed permanent on his face, however her concentration on the Feudal was interrupted when the food arrived.

They chatted animatedly after the food was consumed, Eric insistently tried to reach Byul's glass, but it was impossible, she also had a taster for potions in the food, there must be some way to get her out of the chair and walk away from the tamer.

"The beasts are reckless" Sandeul had told him in a conversation, "challenge her authority and it will be easy to trick her"

Eric would have to do that without Yongsun noticing. As if the divine was attentive to his needs Dohoon settled to one side of the regents, obviously trying to impress Yongsun with his literary knowledge, this distracted the tamer and Byul was mortally bored.

The Feudal fixed a murderous look on her, surely with her animal senses she could feel it, not even five seconds had passed when the beast met the Feudal gaze "now or never" Eric thought, he gestured with a mocking smile and looked her up and down, then grimaced in disgust, Byul frowned and look away, something the Feudal did not expect.

Of course Byul is Byul and she turned her gaze towards Eric still frowning, she looked him straight in the eye and he laughed, he knew that would bother the beast more, with his eyes he indicated her to come out and when he was sure that she understood that he got up without a sound from the table, there was so much fuss that the people at the table did not notice his departure. When he disappeared from the room, Byul observed her wife, who was still entertained by Dohoon, slightly released her hand and prepared to leave without anyone noticing.

-Byul, where are you going? -

Or maybe not.

-Mmm- She looked around nervously - I'll just take some fresh air, I'll come back immediately– She bent down to kiss her forehead and left, Yongsun looked at her strangely but the nobleman was eager for her attention and called her repeatedly until he had her again submerged in his deductions from the latest authors.

-Why so slow? - Byul heard a voice behind her, from the shadows of a corner the Feudal appeared -Well, what can you expect from a beast?- He pondered with his forefinger on his chin.

-Look...- But before she could say a death threat, another voice alerted her.

-Moon? -

-Seulgi?, What do you want now?- She asked angrily.

-Hey you don... - When Seulgi saw Eric she felt a cold wind go through her -Feudal Eric- she greeted him, he smirked and tilted his head.

-Byu... Queen, I need to talk to you-

-Now I'm busy, it will be later- she answered quickly and kept looking at Eric.

Seulgi hesitated a little, but after a few seconds she left the place.

-We can't seem to talk comfortably here, how about we go to a more private place?, so we can settle our differences once and for all, unless you're afraid to be alone with me- Eric said, mocking her.

Byul gave an indignant snort, and "politely" put out her hand and answered.

-Crazies first-

Eric ignored the comment as best he could, after all he would have time to make her swallow her words, he led her along the path that Sandeul had written for him on paper and which was now known by heart; Byul was so absorbed in sticking fire daggers in the back of the Feudal that she did not pay attention to the road, she did not notice how the surroundings became dark, the noise of the party and the clashing of the glasses was attenuated; the space between the torches was getting bigger allowing the darkness of the night to creep up, beginning to take over the entire place.

"We're almost there, just a little more" He thought, feeling that nervousness and anxiety made him sweat.

-I think that's enough- Eric stopped -Where are you taking me?- Byul asked.

-Oh!- The tamer pretended surprise, turned from side to side as if he did not know the surroundings.

Byul huffed annoyed also looking around, suddenly Eric stood a few inches from her and took her face with his hands.

-What the ... - Suddenly her mouth was invaded by that of her staunch antagonist, the shock invaded the body of the beast and she felt terrible disgust, when she wanted to raise her hand to hit him in the face, it was impossible, she couldn't move her hands, not even her fingers seemed to respond to her, her mind screamed loudly asking what the hell was going on as she watched Eric's face glued to her, and she felt his mouth on hers and his tongue fiddling inside.

-That was disgusting- the Feudal said once separated from her and then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, spat at a few times and then smiled at a paralyzed Byul -It will be difficult to take you like this ... But it will be worth it-

Byul could only watch in horror as Eric laughed in front of her, looked everywhere, and lifted her onto his shoulder.

-What do beasts eat! You weigh tons!- He complained, a few seconds passed for them to go into the garden, Eric pushed aside some branches and walked through the bushes, intentionally making the body of the beast from one side to another so that the thorns of the vines would hurt her skin. Byul could feel everything, but she was definitely paralyzed, causing her terror.

-Wait a little more, I have some friends who want to say hello- He opened a small door.

~ Tack ~

-I'm sorry, did it hurt?- The tamer laughed as he roughly rub her head after hitting it with the frame of a wooden door.

From what Byul could observe from her position, that is, the floor, she deduced that they were descending into some kind of dungeon, the staircase made of rock seemed infinite, the torches twisted the orange and reddish colors, making the shadows dance, they arrived at the end of the stairs, and she could hear the squeal of what must have been old hinges, after passing the door the feudal dropped her heavily on the floor.

If she could she would have complained about the impact, but not a single part or the smallest part of her body obeyed her "What kind of magic is this?"

Having remained face up, she heard footsteps approaching her.

-Look what we have here- Count Kyujong said appearing in her field of vision.

-A cute puppy - Followed by Sandeul.

-Tonight we are going to have fun- And Eric

"This can't be happening…"

-Eric- Seulgi said with remorse in her voice.

Seulgi had stood for a moment on one of the garden benches, not having learned her lesson, she had escaped from dinner to go into the gardens and began to wander to a secluded but still safe place, where she had found  Byul and Eric. She settled on a bench and began to think about it, after her talk with Eric she knew that leaving Byul alone with him would not bring anything good, "it would be best to take a look" And with that in mind she decided to follow the path she believed they had taken.

-Where are you taking me?- she heard

-Moon?- Seulgi poked her head a little, she heard nothing more than the strong pounding of her heart when she saw Eric approached the beast and took her face in his hands.

-He’s not gonna...- And he kissed her, the oracle felt her chest burn like a rush that went up to the top of her head, and the beast didn't even do anything to avoid it, she was ... Paralyzed?

Seulgi saw how he carried Byul over his shoulder and carried her away.

-This is not right, it is not right, it is not right- she repeated quickly as she returned to the castle.
