Festive music could be heard, while beautiful dancers swayed to the melodyAround long tables sat the noble men, people of status, governors, along with a few towns people as well as the people who were being celebrated at the top
"They say he's just a village boy, how could he get choosen ?"
"Hush sister, we must not slander our Empress"
"Such beauty and grace, surely the gods have smiled down on our great Emperor"
Small talk could be heard all around
Takeshi turned to his prized possession
He was indeed stunning, his hair done up with flower hair pins, wearing a light pink kimono and wearing light makeup
"How are you enjoying it so far?"
Satomi's smiled, eyes looking distant
"Parties don't seem to be my type of thing, but its quite the sight to see"
Takeshi leaned in to whisper into his ear
"I'd say, we could ditch the party and go straight to bed, hearing you mumble in your sleep is far more entertaining"
The boy's face bloomed, eyes shut tightly, eyebrows raised and a beautiful jingle came from Satomi's lips, his hand tried to cover his mouth to stifle the laugh all while the Warlord watched bewitched
"My lord, how can you say such things? After all , you were the one to hold such a gathering"
"Well excuse my efforts for trying to impress you"
Satomi poured some sake for his soon to be husband
"The Rose's were enough, I prefer small things dear"
Before Takeshi could respond, a guest spoke up
"My lord! We are overjoyed that you have found love atleast, a fitting Empress, beautiful for a man, but we have yet to see what our new ruler can do" governor Yun said boldly with malice
The Emperor felt fire light beneath him
"How dare you sp-"
He was cut off when Satomi stood up. He smiled down at the angered man
"Very well then, I am indeed to prove myself "
Satomi removed his hair pins and placed them in random girl's hairs not caring much, his hair became undone, flowing freely
He also removed his shoes and the first layer of his kimono
Now people would be alittle riled up if they weren't curious as to what he may do
"I am skillful in both art and dance, I shall dance for you, so watch closely"
He stated the music he wanted and thus began his slow dance of seduction
The room was dead quiet besides the music playing
Eyes all watched the boy dance, moving his hips in an erotic yet oh so elegant way
Watching him like the flame of a candle slowly being drawn into his spell
All the while his eyes trained on one man alone, shyly yet passionately. Takeshi's almost black eyes drank up every move the boy made hungrily
The music sped up and Satomi's movements became more erratic, sexier, more interesting until it ended on a single note
All were speechless, not even the Emperor
Cheers filled the room, complimenting the boys skills
"Such a beautiful and talented man indeed, fit for our Emperors lover"
Satomi smiled brightly
"Oh dear, you flatter me governor yun"
The middle aged man blushed brightly at the surprising reply
Takeshi witnessed this and grew envious with how much attention his soon to be wife was getting and decided to wisk the young man away
'You'd dare smile like that at another man in my presence' he thought bitterly
"Alright, I think I will be taking my bride back now, do ladies and gentlemen enjoy the rest of your evening" he said flashing an empty smile
Strong arms hoisted Satomi into a warm embrace and then the two made their departure
Satomi's pov
Not a word was uttered as we left the main hall, looking at Takeshi, it was obvious that he was annoyed
"Such a bright smile, do you love when men compliment you?"
This question stunned me, my mouth opened and closed like a fish
I started to struggle until he set me down
"What would his majesty be implying with such a crude statement" I asked, hurt by what he said
He glared at me making my confidence shrink back down to nothing
"There is no denying that you are a stunning being, one in a million to be precise but letting your hair down, un-dressing and thrusting your ass in front of all those fucking vile men is overstepping your boundaries even going as far as smiling so joyously at a mere commoner's compliment"
He said with his voice dripping with venom, I stared at him as if he just grew a second head
"My lord, these are minor things, it's not as though I was doing it for attention of those people, I only wished to display my skills to his majesty. I must have greatly misunderstood something as I do not see what I did wrong"
I said timidly, while twisting my hair
"I can understand the jealousy of governor Yun but this is above and beyond "
Fire flared up beneath this eyes, growling like a beast, he roughly grabbed my arm before harshly dragging me though the empty halls into our room
"Ouch, your hurting me"
He ignored it and threw me into the bed
"It seems like you love removing you garments in front of men"
He sneered down at me ripping my kimono
A strangled cry of surprise left my lips
"W-What are you doing!?"
"What are you some whore? Only people dance like that are sex workers and common village people"
I tried fighting him, hot salty tears rolled down my cheeks, I didn't want to be taken in an act such as this
"You have to stop! Please I beg you! I'm sorry" I cried out
But he didn't stop , infact I think it spurred him on more, hands roaming my body leaving an awful feeling
Then it hit me, I was his and I couldn't do against it, so I did the only thing I could, I gave up
I laid there hands stretching out as I stared up at the roof, silently crying
Takeshi noticed and stopped his assault staring at me in shock and regret started to seep into his red orbs
"Fuck!"
He got up straight away and left the room
3rd person pov
Satomi curled into a ball letting out a pained loud sobs that would shatter anyone's heart
Meanwhile Takeshi stood outside the room listening, wanting to comfort the broken mess of a boy but he was the reason for the other's pain
He sighed and made his way to the concubine courtyard, needing to release his frustration
