Aether was genuinely astonished to discover that the Empress was actually her elder sister.
He stared deeply into her vivid purple eyes, so strikingly similar to the Empress’s, the resemblance now undeniable. “Ah… I see now…” he murmured.
“Then the Empress killed her own parents for power?” he asked, his voice shaky as the gravity of his previous actions hit him hard.
His mind raced back to his own reckless behaviour, ‘FUCK!! I had been playing with fire!!’ he screamed inwardly.
Seeing his visibly distressed expression, Celestia Nocturne giggled.
As if reading his mind, she said, “Yes, you have been playing with fire~”
Aether’s lips twitched at her obvious enjoyment of his suffering.
“Anyway, why did she kill her parents?” he asked, he was really curious about her family situation.
She stared into his eyes intently, her gaze unwavering and penetrating, making him wonder if he shouldn’t have asked such a sensitive question.
After a few tense seconds, she answered seriously, “I cannot say….. Rather, I have no right to answer. If you want to know, you need to hear it from her, not from others.”
Aether’s eyes sparkled with a childlike wonder and desperation, but Celestia blocked those shining stars with her resolute demeanour.
She wouldn’t tell…. maybe if he tried hard but she still was determined to not tell him.
“All I can say is… she is way more pitiful than me,” Celestia mumbled, clenching his collar tightly as if drawing strength from the fabric, “If you decide to go after her, make sure your heart is open first.” as if she was dead serious.
“H-Huh?” Aether tilted his head, thoroughly confused, “Open my heart?”
Celestia snorted derisively, “Though I am a heartless person, I can see when someone truly shows their heart.”
Aether paused, staring blankly before lowering his eyes and asking in a soft voice, “A-Am I that readable?”
Celestia’s expression softened…. There were times when she could see his true vulnerable nature.
She gently hugged his head to her bosom, her touch unexpectedly tender,
“Women, by their very nature, can discern the hearts of those they love….. Aether. I don’t know what makes you hesitate…” She remembered the times when Aether showed palpable fear whenever Selene or even she made close contact.
He was clearly scared of loving them, of opening himself up to that vulnerability.
That’s why Selene didn’t push him, and her affection had remained stagnant for a long time, stuck in a limbo of unspoken feelings.
Celestia continued, “I am not great at dealing with emotions… Look at me… Whatever happened to being scared of loving, but I won’t ever stop loving you…T-This is my new feeling…. I won’t let it go” as her expression slightly darkened.
Aether flinched, lifting his head from her bosom, seeing her dead serious expression as he had no words to express his feelings.
‘I suppose I still fear loving others… after her,’ he thought, the memory of past pain still lingering.
Then he smiled weakly and said gently, “Thank you for loving this useless bastard.”
“Hehe…” Celestia giggled before kissing his forehead and warned sternly, “If you decide to pursue the Empress, you will need to resolve your heart and embrace her fully…. or you will drown under the ocean that had no end!”
“A-Are you fine with that?” Aether asked with little hesitation.
“Hmmm?”
“I mean didn’t you say you love me?” Aether asked carefully.
“Yes, I do” Celestia’s face turned red as cursed him inwardly for asking her again and again.
“Then?” Aether asked.
Celestia tilted her head still not understanding what he was asking.
“Don’t you feel sad that I’m trying to woo other women?” he asked straightly.
If she truly loved him, shouldn’t she feel jealous or even angry?
However,
“I see…” Celestia nodded in understanding before saying, “Then make sure to not make me sad”
Aether was surprised to hear her answer, ‘I suppose these worlds have a different view… or maybe because she was previous royalty….’ was amused.
Awkwardly snuggled in her bosom, his lips were trembling to take a bite of this milker!
Celestia giggled even more, licking her lips seductively as she thought, ‘Something tells me this womanizing bastard… would be too much to handle for one person’
She remembered the day when Aether subconsciously decided to kill Leon who had just tried to speak with Selene…. That memory lingered, a testament to the dangerous depths of his emotions.
Even though he didn’t love Selene to begin…. that time a shiver ran through Celestia’s spine, she finally understood what meant to be loved by this man!
Even more when Celestia was hurt, he tenderly cared for her before breaking the person who hurt her…..
Oh, man!
Celestia realized then he was far more dangerous than he appeared, his calm exterior hiding a storm of intensity and passion.
And Most of all, she was Royal so she knew how marrying more than one person works.
She looked at him with a wondering expression and couldn’t help but comment, “Selene, Queen Aria, Delphine, Princess Aqualina, Helena, Lia… even the Principal… Yup, you are digging deep your grave with this list, I wonder how they going to fight for the first position”
Hearing that extensive list, Aether gulped nervously, his eyes widening in shock, ‘S-She knows!!!’ he thought, panic creeping into his mind.
“W-Wait! Lia?” Aether was sure he wasn’t flirting with Lia, just considering her a little sister. The implication that she might see it differently disturbed him deeply.
Celestia shrugged nonchalantly, saying no more. Her silence was both a comfort and a torment.
“H-How did you know?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, fear and curiosity warring within him.
“I’ve been following you…. I disappear sometimes, right? I was just watching you try your best to flirt with others. It was sooooo cringe-worthy it made me want to puke,” she said, acting like she was about to vomit, her expression exaggerated for effect.
Aether’s lips twitched. ‘So she was following me all this time!’ He gritted his teeth, thinking that if it had been for the Empress or anyone else, he would be dead by now.
“Wait!! Did you tell this to the Empress?” he asked seriously.
Celestia gave him a teasing look, her eyes twinkling with mischief, “Guess?” she replied, leaving him in suspense.
Aether squinted his eyes, He decided to teach this teasing woman a lesson she wouldn’t soon forget. Leaning in closer, he captured her gaze, his lips hovering just inches from hers before he closed the gap and kissed her passionately.
“~mm~”
Celestia didn’t resist; instead, she responded eagerly, her lips parting to hungrily devour his. The taste of him was intoxicating, like the finest wine, and she lost herself in the moment.
“~Hmm~”
“~slurp~’
They fought for dominance in the kiss, their tongues battling in a sensual dance.
Celestia, being a novice in such passionate kiss, was easily overwhelmed by the experienced and confident Aether. His touch was both commanding and tender, driving her wild.
“~ha~”
“~ha~”
Panting, Their eyes locked, and in that moment, they saw each other’s primal desire laid bare.
Aether gently rubbed her wet lips with his thumb, a smirk playing on his face as he revelled in her reaction. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
“Should I call you Celestia or Taylor?” he asked, his voice low and teasing, laced with a hint of possessiveness.
“Hmm? Unfortunately, I’m officially dead in records” she replied carefree attitude, “So you can only call me Taylor around others. However…” Her cheeks flushed a delicate pink as she looked away shyly, “You can call me anything you want when we’re alone.”
Aether’s smile softened as he shook his head, his thoughts momentarily drifting to another woman, ‘I’m sorry, Pene… I think I cannot let this woman leave my side…’ he thought. Although he hadn’t yet reached the point of love, seeing Celestia’s lovely, vulnerable expression, he knew he wouldn’t want her to be seen by other men.
The thought of anyone else touching her stirred something possessive and primal within him… He immediately shook his unwanted thoughts.
The mood was abruptly broken as Celestia’s expression shifted to one of smugness mixed with a touch of disgust, “You know… you always ruin the moment.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Aether was taken aback, genuinely puzzled by her sudden change in demeanour.
Celestia glared at him, feeling something twitching under her ass. This wasn’t the first time she had encountered this situation, “Can’t you control your unfaithful dick? It’s standing up again!”
Aether’s cheeks turned a deep shade of red, ‘FUCK!! I thought I tied it down!’ he cursed inwardly.
Clearing his throat, he quickly turned the tables and accused her, “You’re responsible! You pushed my head into your milky busty boobs that are soooo soft that made me sooooooo hard!”
Hearing those vulgar words, Celestia’s face turned bright red as she sneered at him, a mix of embarrassment and arousal flaring within her.
Before she could respond with a cutting remark, Aether interrupted her, “You should take responsibility!”
“H-Huh!” Celestia’s eyes widened in horror, and she was about to rebuke him when he continued,
“Last time, I suffered alone,” he said, looking at his right hand with a pained expression, the memory of solitary nights flooding his mind…. He wasn’t letting her go now!
“Grrrr,” Celestia gritted her teeth, knowing he was employing underhanded tactics to manipulate her. Still, with steely resolve and a sense of duty, she said, “Fine, I will do it.”
Aether was genuinely shocked. He couldn’t believe his lame acting had actually worked.
Believe her, she was just doing this for Aether’s sake, not because she was curious about seeing or touching anything. She was just helping Aether… that’s what she told herself repeatedly, her heart pounding in her chest.
It’s not like she wanted to touch him first or taste him first or anything… She was definitely doing it for his sake!!
BELIEVE HER!!!
It’s all for her beloved sake!
