Teasing Irene

Two days passed since the soldier came back with the lacrima and Damian was busy shutting himself down in his room preparing the antidote for the poison which effected the soldiers. Meanwhile Irene was busy in dealing with arrangement for the supplies and finding any traitors not spies within the castle.

Finally preparing the last vial he possibly could with the ingredients present, Damian left the room with dark circles under his eyes.

The nearby maids who saw his appearance gasped in surprise seeing him tired for the first time since he came here.

Damian just greeted them and asked one of them to prepare a cup of coffee for him, which the maids immediately responded to. His popularity after the recent dragon subjugation has just made him even more important and charming for the people of Adroelia.

He then went towards Irene's room and knocked on the door. And after a while the door was opened and he was greeted by Zena.

Zena looked at the Damian and was visibly surprised herself but didn't overreacted and bowed her head and asked, "Good day to you Lord Ian."

Damian just raised his hand and said, "No need to be so formal Zena-san there is no one nearby, I asked the maids to prepare some food and a cup of coffee for me."

Zena stood straight and looked around and then back at Damian and said, "You, have you seen your appearance, you are looking like a drug addict right now."

Damian chuckled and said, "Now this is the casual Zena-san I know. Where's Irene?"

Damian and Irene had told Zena of their relationship when they were once caught by her kissing at their usual meeting spot. Irene told him later that Zena has been making fun of her since then for her to actually being the aggressive one. Damian also asked her to treat him just like how she treats Irene as Irene had told him earlier that Zena raised her just like a mother and Damian wanted her to act like his mother-in-law.

Zena just sighed and said, "She is inside going through some documents. Tell her to take some rest. I will go and arrange for some refreshments for her as well." She then looked at him with a mischievous expression on her face and said, "In the meantime, you two can 'enjoy' yourselves. If you want I can make sure that no one comes to disturb you two for a couple of hours."

Damian sighed and said, "I would really appreciate that, but it is not something that we can do on the spur of moment. I still have to leave today for the battlefield."

Sena smirked and said, "Unlike that girl, you don't shy away from your urges."

Damian shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no point in being shy about that, if I want to then I would though I will have to take her feelings in consideration as well."

Zena hit Damian on his shoulder lightly and said, "Now don't start spouting boring stuff, go in. I have some 'duties' to take care of."

Zena then walked out of the room leaving Damian behind who slowly closed the door without making much noise.

He then walked in and saw Irene focused on the paperwork.

Irene who was still looking at her papers asked, "What happened Zena? Who was it?"

Damian walked beside her, bent down and whispered in her ear, "A man came here to kidnap you my queen."

Irene flinched in surprise and looked towards Damian with a blush on her cheeks.

"Hey!!! Don't surprise me like that!!!!"

Damian chuckled on seeing her flustered making Irene pout in annoyance and look away from him.

He calmed himself down after a while and lied down on the bed in the room without saying anything.

Irene who noticed that Damian was not messing with her now looked towards him and saw him lying on the bed. She stood up from her chair and went towards him. Seeing his face she frowned a bit and said, "You look a 'bit' tired."

Damian looked at her and said, "How hard do you think preparing antidote for an entire army is? Seriously, I have been awake for two days now." and then thought, 'Not to mention I had been using my magic to enhance the effectiveness and manufacturing speed of the antidotes. So I am low on ether nano as well.'

Irene sat beside him and started patting his head.

"Thank you for your hard work Lord Ian." and a small playful smile appeared on her face.

Damian looked at her and said, "Aren't you enjoying seeing me like this?"

Irene continued to smile and said, "No no how could that be. I just hope that you take a proper rest and relax."

Damian stared at her for a while and then asked, "You want me to relax, huh."

Irene continued to caress his hair and said, "Yup, I really wish for you to relax."

Damian nodded and said, "Then don't mind me." and laid his head in Irene's lap and said, "As expected this is the best spot for me to rest. Your thighs are the best Irene." he then looked up and saw he under boobs and thought, 'And this view is the best for me to enjoy.'

Irene bent a bit and looked at Damian who had a satisfied smile on her face and smiled as well still not knowing about his inner thoughts.

"Well, if you like this then I don't mind allowing you to do this afterall I am very kind queen."

*shriek*

But in the next instant she was pushed back on the bed by Damian who was looking directly in her eyes.

"W-w-what happened? What are you going to do?"

Irene's face was beet red as her imagination started to run wild on the possibilities that could happen to her in this situation.

Damian then interlocked his hands with Irene's and said, "Wha?t Aren't you a kind queen who is willing to help me 'relax'?"

He then lowered himself and placed his head beside hers and whispered in her ear, "Or was it that my queen joking with me?" and bit her earlobe lightly.

Irene flinched on the sudden contact and her imagination just got wilder. She gulped her saliva and said, "W-wait D-Damian t-t-t-those kind of things should only be done after marriage!!! W-We can't do it right now!!! What of someone comes in and see is d-doing that?!?!?!"

Damian looked at her face for a while and then looked away and thought, 'Its really getting hard for me to control myself after seeing her acting like this!!!' He then took several deep breaths and after calming down looked back at her and said, "Don't worry, I have told Zena-san to make sure no one disturbs us for a couple of hours. So no problems there."

Irene widend her eyes in surprise and said, "S-so you were planning to do this from the start!!!!!"

Damian tilted his head and asked innocently, "Planned what? I don't know what you mean by that my dear queen. Can you be a bit more specific?"

Irene gulled her saliva and looked away and said, "Y-Y-You know, I mean 't-those' stuff."

Damian inched a bit closer to her face and asked, "Hmmm, what 'those' stuff? More specific please?"

Irene glared at him and said, "DON'T BULLY ME YOU IDIOT!!! You know what I mean right?!?! I mean the indecent stuff that people do!!!!"

Damian looked at her with an 'innocent' expression on his face and said, "What indecent stuff? I just wanted to hold you hands and hug you for a while though I was going on for some kisses but what out of the three were you calling indecent? We have done this a lot of times already?"

Irene hearing that widened her eyes in shock and soon started to get embarresed. She tried to get away from Damian or hided her face with her hands but was not able to do anything as Damian was on top of her with their hands interlocked with eachother. She tried to struggle out of their but that too was not possible as she didn't want to use her strength and hurt him.

Damian who saw her struggling sighed and let go of her hands and clasped her face and said, "Don't get too flustered or I might actually decide to 'eat' you right now."

Irene stared looked at her now free hands for a while and then back at Damian who also stared back at her.

Then suddenly it was Damian who was pushed back on the bed and now it was Irene on top of him.

"So how does it feel being the one below?"Irene looked at Damian with a smirk on her face.

"Pretty nice actually" Damian said while looking at her jiggling breasts.

But this time Irene saw his gaze and followed it and a second later her blush returned to her face.

"W-w-what are you looking at?!?!"

Damian looked at Irene and nonchalantly said, "Do you even want me to answer that? It's pretty obvious that I was looking at your boo-"

Irene covered his mouth with her hands and said, "AT LEAST BE A BIT EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT!!!!"

Damian just chuckled seeing her anting like that and continued to tease her for a bit longer till Zena came back with referents.
