The Empress (MxM)

Chapter 4

3rd pov

When Satomi had awoken from his peaceful slumber he found himself in a warm embrace

It took him a good minute to understand what was happening, he sat up rubbing his sleepy eyes while letting out a yawn

"Your up early" a deep voice said

He just nodded in agreement

"Shall I go help make food?" the small boy asked

"Heavens no, back to bed, the servants will make it"

Satomi shook his head, not wanting to be useless

He was about to get up when Takeshi grabbed his arm

He glared at the poor boy who shrank and laid back in the bed

'Scary' he thought

"Today we'll have you fitted for your wedding kimono, jewelry shopping and the announcement " he stated face down in the comforter

Satomi just sat there playing with his hair

"Takeshi, I need to use the washroom"

The sleepy emperor just huffed and told him the direction

Satomi made his way through the mansion, getting lost along the way, perhaps by taking a wrong turn

Loud boisterous chatter and laughter was heard, getting closer to the boy

Three women came to a stop right before him, beautiful, slim and fair

"Oh who is this?" one questioned

"This is the emperors beloved, they weren't lying, you are quite the sight" she said glaring down at the frightened boy

"Come now sisters, he's just some small peasant boy, not worth much but a sex slave" she said giving a closed eye smile

"I am quite curious however, how can such a lowly thing gain his majesty's favor? Did you seduce him? Use your body?"

"N-no! Its not like that madam"

The three women surrounded him, giggling

"Oh you must teach me your ways dead"

"Yes, his majesty hasn't been in my bed chamber for far too long, I wish for his company"

They all mocked and jeered him, pushing him around until he burst into tears letting out a loud sob

"Oh look, he's crying"

Satomi pushed pass them and made his way back to his room, crying even louder, the sound bouncing off the walls

As he entered the room, Takeshi spun around, ready to scold him for taking so long but was set ablaze to see his soon to be Empress's face drenched with hot tears

Seemingly numb and brain dead, the man stumbled over the distraught boy

"Who did this?" he asked in a harsh and grave tone making Satomi shiver

"Its nothing" he lied

This only infuriated Takeshi even more

"fine"

He was a about to tear open the door when Satomi clutched his foot, hanging on for dear life

"Master, please, its nothing, really"

The warlord was torn, he wanted to brush the boy off, go out there and rip the fiend limb from limb for making his lover cry

He sighed and picked up the boy off the floor

"They will live for now" he said drying Satomi's tears

"Look at your eyes, so puffy and your skin is all flushed"

Takeshi's eyes glinted with murderous intent as if he was near blood lust

"Do not lie to me Satomi, will you not tell me what happened?"

He shook him head, knowing all too well what this man was capable of, having experienced his wrath from the village

Takeshi sighed

"Fine, lets get ready for today"
