Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son

Exhaling out lightly, Drayce moved away from Seren. Seeing the way she was dressed, with her bare back tempting him, he could not trust himself that he would not do anything with her.

He went to the wooden stand and hung Seren's coat on it. Just as he turned to face her, Seren happened to turn around as well to ask him something. Drayce felt stunned, seeing how alluring she looked in that delicate fabric dress. It perfectly fitted her body, showing off her feminine curves that were enough to seduce any man. That sheer fabric took the shape of her delicate figure till her waist, while her shoulders were left wide open, allowing his eyes to feast on the sight of her delicate collar bones. Long sleeves covered her slender arms, and matching gloves covered her palms. From the waist, the dress flared into a full skirt with its hems reaching till the floor, covering her feet entirely.

"Your Majesty, why is this glass here?" Seren asked, not noticing where Drayce's eyes were looking.

Her gentle voice pulled Drayce back to his senses, luckily before his thoughts could go wild. He looked into her innocent eyes which showed she was not aware of what wicked thoughts he was having about her.

He sighed inwardly at himself and asked as he stepped towards her,  "Did you say something, my Queen?"

"I was asking why is this glass wall here?" Seren replied.

"So that no one can see us here," Drayce answered. "We can see through this glass but people on that side can't see us."

Seren nodded as if she understood.

'It must be because he is a king and I am a queen and others are not allowed to see us,' she concluded. She then realized the entire opera house was empty. "But no one else is here."

"Tonight, it is reserved for only the two of us so that no one can cause any disturbances," Drayce replied.

"I understand." Seren asked nothing further.

"My Queen, let's have a seat," Drayce said as he gestured at the wide cushioned couch kept near the glass wall. In front of it was a wooden center table that had snacks and fruits placed on it along with decorative ornaments and candles.

Seren looked around to appreciate the entire place. She found the place pleasant—it was indeed well-decorated and warm enough that she was not feeling cold at all. She noticed the two fireplaces on the opposite walls that were keeping the place warmer.

Seren walked towards the couch with Drayce leading her way, helping her get settled comfortably. He sat next to her while leaving only a little space between them. With a light movement, Seren slowly shifted away from him which Drayce noticed but didn't mind. He wished her to be at complete ease.

Just then, music started to play and the red curtain on the stage started to move. A man's voice could be heard narrating in a clear voice what the background story of the play was about. Once the curtains were completely drawn, the first set of actors dressed in extravagant suits appeared in their lines of sight.

It was the story of a nobleman falling for a lady servant in his household but his family didn't approve of him marrying a lowly woman. It showed their struggle and the kind of love they had. In the end, they ended up marrying each other and living happily ever after.

It was the second time for Seren to come to an opera house. Back in Abetha, when she went with Cian, she really enjoyed that play of a little girl who lost her pet, and this time, she was equally excited about this play as well. But little did she know that it was going to be exactly the opposite of what she imagined it would be.

As soon as the actors entered the stage, her entire attention focused on them. Drayce looked at his fascinated wife through the corner of his eyes before returning his focus on the play.

"My Queen, just as you have read in those books, I wish that you watch this play carefully."

Her gaze not leaving the stage, Seren agreed without minding his words too much, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The scene started with the setting being inside the nobleman's chamber where a lady clad in servant clothes brought tea for her master. His eyes full of love for the pretty lady servant were fixed on her every movement while the woman was silently doing her job. Even without words, it was clear that the young nobleman liked her, but the lady servant never looked at him even once and had her head lowered all the time.

The story progressed further, showcasing the growing feelings between them with every little encounter until it came to the part where the nobleman confessed his love to the woman and she accepted it because she felt the same.

Seren sighed inwardly. 'It is the same in all the books I've read so far. The man says he loved her and then the woman agrees and….well...' Seren realized something. 'Will they do the same thing here too?'

Just as Seren thought about it, the man indeed kissed the woman. Seren's eyes were left wide open with what was going on the stage: a man and woman were sucking each other's lips passionately as they held each other closely. Though Seren had read about the act in the books, seeing it live felt uncomfortably awkward. She immediately lowered her head to not look at it but then heard Drayce say something beside her.

"My Queen, you have given your word that you will watch it clearly and carefully."

"Your Majesty, this doesn't look good…"

"What doesn't look good?" Drayce asked coldly.

"What they are doing," Seren answered timidly.

"They are performing a play for everyone to watch. There is nothing bad about it," Drayce countered. "This is what every man and woman in love do. Raise your head and take a look." Drayce's voice was commanding as he knew only then would she listen to him.

Seren lifted her head up hesitantly and looked at the couple who were about to indulge in an even more intimate act beyond just kissing. Seren inhaled deeply to hold her ground, intending to keep her promise to watch the entirety of the play.

Since their seats were nearest to the stage, she could clearly see the tiniest details of the performance—the expressions of raging desire on their faces, as well as how passionately that man assaulted the woman's lips and tongue while she didn't look like she was reluctant nor disgusted. Instead, she was responding just as fiercely back to the man. The opera house was filled with soft moans and heavy breathing sounds.

Seren exhaled lightly to keep her heart calm as she clutched her dress with the hands which were resting on her thighs. She remembered Drayce's words—of what he wished to do with her lips​​—and seeing the scene in front of her, her mind was filled with the image of Drayce doing the same with her.

'So is this why His Majesty wants me to remove my veil? Will doing that feel good? That woman seems like she is liking it...'

Through the corner of her eyes, Seren took a peek at Drayce who was sitting the same way as he had at the start, calm and composed. His strong back was leaning against the backrest, looking relaxed with his one leg folded over the other one. One of his hands was resting on the armrest of the couch while the other one was resting on his folded leg, and his gaze never wavered away from the stage.

'He looks unflustered, as if such a sight is something so common it no longer affects him. Does he come here to watch such dirty plays often?'

Unlike him, Seren could feel her chest thudding wildly, and it was as if her body was starting to feel hotter and hotter with each passing second. With the help of her willpower, she managed to pull away her gaze from Drayce and looked back at the stage where she saw that the story had progressed into a more intimate scenario.

The man had begun undressing the woman, taking off her outer robe while kissing at her neck and the woman had entwined her fingers into the man's hair, pulling his head closer as if asking him to move faster.

'Isn't it shameful to look at others when they are doing all this? What kind of play is this? This is unladylike! Martha would have been terrified at this sight! I wish I could run away from such shameless people.'

But then, the man's actions suddenly reminded Seren of what Drayce had once done with her neck. The memory from that night made her gasp as she realized something—the sensation of his lips on her skin, it indeed felt good. She looked at Drayce again and imagined him doing it with her again, and the next moment, she had goosebumps all over her body and the hot discomfort in her body grew.

Clutching her dress even tighter, she shook her head lightly to stop thinking about it. 'Why am I thinking about it? I should not recall such things.'

With renewed determination, she looked back at the stage where the man had now removed his inner shirt and was removing the silk cloth wrapped around the woman's chest.

After reading the same things in the book, Seren was not much surprised as by then she had understood the man and a woman would become naked soon. But still, it was too much to watch them like this. The experience was incomparable compared to the ones written in the books.

"Y-Your Majesty…"

"Hmm?" Drayce asked as he looked at her.

The moment their eyes met, Seren felt her soul leaving her body. His red eyes looked a little drunk, yet the hunger in them was raging, as if he wished to capture her within them. Her body, which already had goosebumps, felt weaker and hotter under his gaze but she managed to ask.

"I-Is it fine to watch them without clothes...?"

"It is fine and I wish you to watch everything without feeling hesitant or awkward. Only then will my Queen understand what happens between a man and a woman."

Drayce's words were firm and overbearing, not leaving room for discussion.

"I understand, Your Majesty," Seren replied a little weakly as she breathed deeply, deciding to not say a single word further.

'I have read everything and I just need to watch it. It's fine,' Seren consoled herself and focused on what was going on the stage once more.

The man had taken the woman to his bed and climbed onto her body. The woman reached out to kiss him as she looked needy for his touch. In response, the man kissed the woman but his hands moved towards the woman's breasts as he kneaded them roughly. The woman could only arch her back as it looked like she liked it.

After reading the same thing in the book every time, Seren used to look at the round peaks on her chest and used to wonder if it truly felt good to make the women in the books want it more. She always questioned what was so good when a man touched a woman. Whenever Drayce touched her, she always felt her heart getting wild and she felt scared inside due to her strange reaction. It was something unknown that was why it terrified her. Though deep down, she had to admit she felt good too, however, the sense of feeling scared was more prominent than anything else whenever Drayce touched her.

Soon, the scene on the bed grew more frantic. The man captured that woman's round peaks in his mouth. He sucked and licked them harshly with his hands still kneading them. The opera house was filled with the moans of that woman lying in bed growing louder and louder as if her body was demanding more from that man. As the man continued to taste her round plump bosom, the woman moved her head up and her chest lifted up with her toes curled and digging into the mattress. She looked like a mess with her long black hair spread on the pillow, but she looked as if she still wished for more.

Seren gulped as her heart was picking up pace. Though she was hesitant to watch it before, now her gaze was stuck at what those two were doing. She almost forgot that Drayce was sitting next to her.

The man's body moved further down and down till he reached between the legs of that woman. He removed the lower clothes and left the woman completely naked and dived in between her legs. The moment he tasted that woman's sacred place between her legs, the woman let out the loudest moan while calling out for the man.

"Ahh...My Lord...Ahh…"

The man had no intention to stop and instead held the woman's thighs tightly as he licked and sucked on her while the woman's body shuddered greatly with what she was feeling.

The man only stopped to insert his finger inside the woman.

"My Lord! Ahh!"

Seren, who was watching it all with her eyes wide open in shock, was so engrossed she had forgotten everything else but the man and woman on the bed. She didn't wish to stop watching as she clutched her dress and clenched her thighs together, feeling a tingling sensation at her lower abdomen. That woman's loud moans were affecting Seren's sanity. It was as if she was feeling the same pleasure as what that woman on the stage was feeling at this moment, though no one was even touching her.

Seren saw how the man was using his finger and tongue over that woman. She thought nothing about what and why that man was doing it as she was only focused on watching it.

"My Lord...Please...Ahh!"

Soon, that woman's cries and moans turned softer after calling out for the man once more. Her body had turned limp, as if she had become tired to the bones, and that man had stopped what he was doing between her legs.

At that very moment, Seren exhaled out loudly, as if it was not that woman but her who had gone through that intimate experience, and now she could finally relax. She could still feel her body was feeling weird and had turned uncomfortably hot.

After a shaky sigh, she again looked at Drayce who was the same as before, as if he felt nothing regarding the scene they were watching. Drayce looked at her and Seren immediately looked away.

Drayce picked up the glass of juice from the table and offered it to Seren. "Have it, my Queen. Your throat must be dry."

Seren felt shocked as what he had said was the truth; her throat was dry. She reached out her hand to get a glass of juice from him. The moment her fingers touched his, she felt like a strange current passed through her body. She gasped and retracted her hand.

Drayce gave her a questioning look. She again reached out for the glass of juice, but this time, she made sure she wouldn't touch his fingers.

Seren had a few sips of the juice before returning her attention towards the stage where the man had finally removed his pants and was completely naked. Seren finally looked at the part which she had addressed as deformity before.

In the storybooks, they never showed it, and neither did she expect to see it here. With her breath stuck inside her chest and with her eyes wide open, she stared at the man's asset.

'It...looks so...so...'

She couldn't find a word but didn't wish to call it weird.

Drayce got the glass of juice from her hand and put it back on the table as he knew she was shocked. He was glad that she didn't call it a deformity out loud.

Seren saw the woman was still lying in bed, breathing heavily and looking at the man as if she was waiting for him. While the man was kneeling between her widely opened legs, he held his manhood in his own hands, stroking and massaging it gently as if he was making it ready for something.

'What is he doing?' Seren questioned as she didn't have a good feeling about it.
