Gasps rippled through the hall—not merely from the sight of Selene kissing him hungrily as if she could not wait… maybe a little! But more importantly,… For the prideful Dragon line, this was a blow unlike any other.
Taking away the bride of a Dragon was not something you could without rationally as Dragons would come and hunt everyone one who tampered their pride!
Leon’s face contorted with fury, his rage twisting into something dark and resentful. Unable to endure another moment, he turned and stormed out, leaving the hall without a word.
As the kiss lingered, a sense of finality settled over the crowd.
Slowly, guests began to trickle out, the murmurs among them carrying an uneasy sense of anticipation. They knew there would be repercussions—particularly when the Dragon Emperor returned and learned of the events that had unfolded here. No one wanted to linger for the fallout of what they had just witnessed.
Meanwhile….
Leon stood alone on the balcony, staring up at the vast night sky as tears slipped silently down his cheeks. This was his first love—his damned first love!
His FUCKING FIRST LOVE!!
The one person he had cared for so deeply had slipped away, swept up by the same man who had humiliated him so brutally before.
Now, Victor had claimed her too.
“What kind of messed-up life is this?” he muttered bitterly, his chest tightening with a mix of anger, pain, and confusion.
“L-Leon?” came a soft voice, breaking through the silence.
Startled, he quickly wiped his tears and turned around to see Vesperine approaching him with a concerned expression. “Are you okay?” she asked gently, offering him a glass of water.
He forced a weak smile, “I-I’m fine,” he said, taking the glass and trying to act nonchalant. “Where’s Kai?” he asked quickly, attempting to shift the focus away from himself as he sipped the water.
Vesperine watched him, her gaze unwavering as he drank, a little too fast, under the pressure of her silence, “Gulp—I’m really fi—”
“It’s okay, Leon,” she interrupted, her voice soft and soothing as she reached out and wrapped her arms around him in a comforting embrace. Leon’s body went stiff in surprise, and the glass slipped from his hand, shattering on the ground
Tuccckkk!!
Vesperine gently patted his back, her voice almost a whisper, “You don’t need to hide your pain, Leon. Let it out…. It’s just the two of us here.” Her words, tender and understanding, broke the fragile hold he had on his emotions, and before he knew it, tears started falling freely.
“I—I really loved her,” he stammered between soft sobs, “You know, I thought… I thought she’d see me.”
Vesperine nodded, holding him tighter, “I know, Leon. But listen to me—you don’t need someone like her. She couldn’t see who you really are, and that’s her loss.” Her tone shifted, a hint of bitterness in her words, “You deserve someone who values you for who you are. There’s no point in wasting your tears on someone who’s quick to run to anyone else.”
He nodded, wiping his eyes as a glimmer of strength returned to his face, “Y-Yeah. You’re right!! She missed out on me. I’ll be the Great Dragon Emperor one day, and she’ll regret it!!… No, I will make her regret it!!” Determination flared in his gaze as he clenched his fists in a matter of seconds his impression turned normal as he gently hugged her, “Thanks, Vesperine. You really helped me see things clearly when I needed it.”
Vesperine chuckled softly, “I couldn’t just stand by and let my boyfriend’s best friend suffer all alone, now could I?”
Leon’s eyes lingered on her, his gaze softening as he watched her. Vesperine was different, he realized. She wasn’t just loyal to Kai; she genuinely cared for those around her.
She was there for him, compassionate and comforting in a way that left him feeling vulnerable yet grateful.
What kind of luck had Kai found in her?
What’s more, she even smells good!
Lost in his thoughts and smell, Leon’s gaze grew more intense, and Vesperine shifted uncomfortably under his stare. “W-Well, I should probably get going,” she murmured, pulling back from the hug.
But before she could step away, Leon’s arm slipped around her, holding her in place. He reached up, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, his voice lowering to a murmur. “You’re… the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, Vesperine,” he said, his hand slowly reaching on her ass as he leaned in closer.
Vesperine’s eyes widened in shock as his hand tightened slightly, pulling her even closer, “W-What are you doing, Leon?” she stammered, her voice laced with confusion and rising anger. She tried to push away, her face twisting into a fierce glare, “Let go of me—now.”
Her words cut through the haze of Leon’s emotions, and he froze, realizing he’d crossed a line. He released her immediately, shame and regret flooding his face, “Vesperine, I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… I was just—” He stumbled over his words, looking down in embarrassment. “I just thought—no, I’m sorry.”
Vesperine took a step back, her expression hurt and disappointed, “Leon, I came here to comfort you as a friend. Don’t mistake my kindness for anything else.”
Yet, He caught her ass tightly again and,
Leon leaned in, a sly grin stretching across his face as his hand roamed boldly, “How cute~” he whispered, voice thick with amusement, “You look sexy even when you’re mad.” His hand squeezed her enough for…
“~ah~”
The sound slipped out before she could stop it, and Leon’s eyes gleamed with a dark thrill as he licked his lips, “Dragons… have a higher libido than any other race, you know,” he murmured, his tone almost playful, yet with an unsettling edge.
Vesperine’s eyes widened in horror, and she struggled against his grip, “W-What are you talking about, Leon? I thought… I thought we were friends! Please, let me go!” Her voice trembled, a mixture of fear and revulsion as she looked up at him, helpless, his face mere inches from hers.
He ignored her protests, leaning in closer until his lips hovered dangerously close, “It’s fine right?… just let me…. It’s just the two of us here…. release some stress.” Without warning, his mouth crushed against hers, capturing her lips with a force that left her stunned.
“L-Leo–Mmfff~”
Vesperine’s body went rigid as a strange, dizzying warmth washed over her… Her flower trembled with hot!
“W-What did you… do to me?” she gasped, pulling away, her breaths shallow as her skin flushed with an unnatural heat.
Leon’s grin widened, and his hand moved slowly, sliding into her skirt, squeezing her ass, “Nothing much,” he said casually, “just… dragons release a bit of… pheromone when we’re in… got too much horny…. similar aphrodisiac” His eyes glinted with satisfaction as he moved in for another kiss, this time rougher, his hand venturing lower, igniting a strange conflict within her.
“Makes things a little more… enticing.”
“~Ahh~” Discover hidden tales at empire
Vesperine whimpered, her voice laced with protest, though it sounded distant to her own ears, “N-No… I-I don’t… want this—ah! I won’t betray Kai…~Aaaaahhh~~” But her voice faded, her body betraying her, her mind caught in the tug-of-war between horror and an unwilling physical response.
“Did you just… cum?” Leon whispered with a wicked grin, watching her face flush even darker.
“N~No~, I didn’t…” she protested, her voice shaky, cheeks burning red with embarrassment. Leon’s grin widened, and he leaned in.
“Then I’ll make sure you do,” he said with a seductive voice before placing her on the table, lowering his lips to her neck, trailing downward as he reached beneath her skirt, his fingers teasing her flower while sucking her nectar!
“~No~Mmmmaaa~P~Please~ Stoop~mmmmaa~Yesss~aaannnoooo~” Vesperine’s body trembled not under the fear of being raped or pleasure but rather…. something only visible to her eyes!

With a wicked smile, Vesperine’s hand gripped his head, pressing him closer to his pussy, her voice wavering as she cried, “P-Please ~no…mm~ I have a boyfriend… ~ahhh~”
A dark grin curled at the corners of Vesperine’s lips as she thought, ‘Yes… drink deep, bastard~’ while she continued to act, “N-No, Leon… please…~ahhh~”
Leon thought she was enjoying this slowly as if he was seducing her…. He was so thrilled to sleep with his best friend’s girlfriend which made him even more harder.

Vesperine allowed herself a satisfied smile, her eyes gleaming with victory as she murmured under her breath, “Three more to go.”
