Julian woke up early in the morning and got dressed. Today was the day when the army of Ares kingdom would march off to fight a war against the neighbouring kingdom of Apollo.
He headed to the dining hall to have an early breakfast. The usual energy was replaced by a nervous atmosphere. Every noble and soldier’s gaze were heavy with the anticipation of war.
Julian entered the dining hall as he nodded respectfully to his father, Alden, and the other dukes gathered around the table.
“Be ready for war, son,” Alden said, his voice carrying the weight of both pride and caution. “Today, we march at dusk.”
Julian straightened, nodding back. “Understood, Father,” he replied, feeling the gravity of his father’s words.
Julian spotted the familiar group of ladies, Sylvia, Elvina, Ellie, and Cecilia all gathered at their table, exchanging quiet conversation over breakfast. With a charming smile, he approached them, giving a polite nod.
“Good morning, ladies,” he greeted, his voice smooth and confident. Each of them turned, their faces lighting up at his approach, and returned the greeting with warm smiles.
“Good morning, Your Grace,” they said, each of them smiling up at him.
Sylvia, with a playful glint in her eyes, teased, “You’ve certainly lightened our morning, Your Grace. Perhaps it’s become a habit of yours?”
Julian chuckled, brushing a hand through his hair. “Well, I’m only following my duty, Lady Sylvia,” he replied smoothly. “I couldn’t possibly let such ladies start their day without a proper greeting.”

Elvina laughed, her cheeks flushing slightly as she met Julian’s gaze.
“You sure are charming, Your Grace,” she said with a playful smirk, her mind drifting back to their passionate encounter the night before. “Even more so in bed, if I may add.”
Julian’s eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned in slightly closer, his voice low and teasing. “Oh, Lady Elvina, I must admit, you have a way of making my morning even brighter with such compliments.”
The other ladies exchanged surprised looks, their expressions a mix of shock and intrigue as they processed Elvina’s implication.
Cecilia, her eyes wide, couldn’t help but ask, “Your Grace, you have already bedded Lady Elvina?”
Julian, a playful smirk on his lips, replied confidently, “Well, how can I call myself a man if I can’t bed a beauty such as Lady Elvina?” His words hung in the air, thick with audacity, leaving the ladies momentarily speechless.
Ellie, quick to regain her composure, leaned in with a teasing smile. “And how was it, Elvina? Do tell!”
Elvina laughed, a light, melodic sound that filled the room. “I have to say, it was way more fun than I expected! Besides, the young duke sure is gifted,” she added with a mischievous glint in her eye.
Sylvia raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Gifted? In what way?”
Julian chuckled, leaning back slightly as he teased, “Care to find out, Lady Sylvia?”
Sylvia’s cheeks flushed a deep crimson as she realized the implications of Elvina’s words. She exchanged glances with the other ladies, who were equally caught off guard by the audacity of the conversation.
Julian then grinned and said to Elvina, “I will have to leave you and go fight a war so, do you have time for some fun?
Elvina replied with a smirk, “Your grace, I sure do miss having you inside me”
Julian smiled as he glanced at other three ladies. As he turned to the other ladies, he flashed a charming smile.
“What about you all? Would you care to join us?”, he asked.
The atmosphere shifted, a mixture of surprise and intrigue flickering across the faces of the noblewomen.
Elvina leaned closer to Julian, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “I must say, I wouldn’t mind a little more… company,” she teased, her voice low and inviting.
Sylvia, still blushing from earlier, glanced at the others, caught between her surprise and curiosity. “Well, it’s not every day one gets invited to such an adventure,” she remarked, trying to maintain her composure while her heart raced at the implications.
Ellie joined in with a teasing grin, “Oh, I do love a good adventure. But what about our husbands? They might not take kindly to this little escapade.”
Julian chuckled, “I’m sure they’ll be too preoccupied with war strategies to notice. Besides, it’s just a bit of fun before we head off to battle.”
Cecilia, feeling emboldened by the laughter and the playful atmosphere, leaned forward, her eyes twinkling. “Count me in! What harm could a little fun do before war?”
Each lady was swept up in the excitement of the moment, the tension of the impending war momentarily forgotten in the allure of Julian’s charm and the thrill of mischief.
Julian leaned closer, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper, “Come to my room after having your breakfast.”
As he turned to leave, whispers erupted among the ladies. Sylvia, still blushing from the bold invitation, shook her head in disbelief, a playful smile tugging at her lips.
“He sure is bold,” she remarked, glancing at Elvina, who wore a satisfied grin. “He wants to bed us all at the same time.”
Elvina laughed lightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Well, can you blame him? Who wouldn’t want to indulge in such a delightful fantasy before heading off to war?”
Cecilia, her curiosity piqued, leaned in closer to her sister. “Do you think he really means it? All of us together?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, but filled with intrigue.
Ellie smirked, crossing her arms playfully. “With a man like Julian, I would not doubt anything he says. Remember when he went against the queen?”
The ladies then continued their breakfast, each of them filled with both excitement and fear, as to what the day might unfold into. The thought of cheating on their husband was something that they had never thought of but the charm and seduction of Julian was too enchanting for them to ignore.
No wonder devils are portrayed with such grace and beauty, They all thought.
