THE INDECENT PROPOSAL
THE INDECENT PROPOSAL
"Don't send me to Elis, I beg of you", Emily pleaded with Cardinal Ecter.
"Sorry lad. The Monastery of Elis is short of slave girls recently after the demon's raid. You shall serve the masters in Elis", Cardinal Ecter told her as he tried to shake her hands off.
"Tell the guards to go away", Emily asked Ecter.
"Why will I do that for?" Cardinal Ecter asked her.
"What are you afraid of? I am tied to your holy chains. I can't escape", Emily replied to the cardinal.
"Erm… you people leave the room. There is something important the prisoner will tell me privately", Cardinal Ecter told the guards in the room including his assistant.
When the people left the room, Cardinal closed the door of the dungeon room and locked it before he returned to Emily.
"Now what secret will you spill to me?" Cardinal Ecter asked Emily.
"I heard that the apostles are Eunuchs who doesn't like women. I don't want to go to a place like that", Emily told Ecter to his surprise.
"That is not relevant to your interrogation. Don't spill nonsense on me", Cardinal Ecter replied to her angrily.
"But I also heard the priests and deacons of the Church are different. They can have pleasure with women", Emily said to Ecter softly.
"Nonsense, we are bound by our vows of celibacy", Cardinal Ecter replied to her.
"Do you think I am beautiful?" Emily asked Cardinal Ecter as she ripped off her dress.
"What are you doing?" Cardinal Ecter asked Emily in shock but stared at her naked body anyway.
"You were looking at my breast when you talked to me. Don't tell me you are not excited to see it uncovered", Emily replied to the cardinal seductively as she pulled his hands to her breast.
"No, this is not proper. You will be sent to Elis soon. I will be in trouble if the apostles know I touched you", Cardinal Ecter told her.
"They will not know about it. I don't want to serve the Eunuchs for the rest of my life. Take me away from here", Emily pleaded with the cardinal.
"I don't have the right to do that", Cardinal Ecter replied to her.
"Then take my body first before you decide later", Emily told the cardinal as her hands grabbed his crotch and pulled him close to her.
"Ahhhh", the Cardinal screamed softly before he started kissing the woman.
The Cardinal couldn't withstand the temptation of the woman. When he was finished with the woman, he put his clothes back on and left the dungeon, while the guards returned into the cell to look at Emily.
"Hi", Emily said to the guards.

"Bastard Oriese, come out here to fight with me", Prince Spiros screamed at the entrance to our mansion.
Soon, an army of guards came out to surround the prince.
With a wave of his hands, all our guards were thrown away by the force conjured from him. Prince Spiros was a powerful Knight Templar, the top ranked in the Knight Templar Academy ranking.
"What is the problem? Why is the Eunuch here?" I asked as I came out from my residence.
"I am not a Eunuch, you bastard", Prince Spiros screamed to me.
"Scream all you want. The only one who can hear you is the empty street but the story of the 'Eunuch storming the Kaleon House' will be read all across the kingdom by tomorrow", I replied to Spiros as the artists around me started to use their imagination to illustrate.
"You are using your newspaper to defame me unfairly", Prince Spiros shouted to me angrily and complained.
"Unfair? They don't call me the Bully of Starri city because I am fair", I replied to him.
"I challenge you to a duel to the death", Prince Spiros screamed at me.
"Fine, as long as you can come out with a Billion Aurs as wager in the Magic Arena", I replied to him before I returned to my residence.
"I will kill you", Prince Spiros screamed as he conjured a powerful fist-like conjuration toward me.
But to his shock and horror, Spiros' conjured fist was blocked by magical shields that protected the Kaleon residence.
"Your magic may be strong, but you can never break the magic arraye of my conjurers", I told Spiros before I was gone.
Prince Spiros fell to the ground broken and frustrated as he slammed the ground with his fist. He managed to break a large part of the street though, but he could do nothing about me.
"The Eunuch breaks the street to regain honor against the imagined adulterer with his lonely fiancé", would be the title of the next column in the Herald Times' Socialite section.

"Oriese, please stop attacking Spiros in the news. I know he is an idiot, but the negativity affects the image of our family", Duke Armanos pleaded with me.
"Spiros is the one making trouble for me. He has been challenging me daily in front of Kaleon city and hurting my staff", I replied to him.
"He just wants to have a match with you in the Magic Arena", Duke Armanos told me.
"Well, I've agreed to fight with him in the Magic Arena. He just needs to come out with the wager", I replied to him.
"But a Billion Aur is too much money for a wager", Duke Armanos said to me.
"You talk like he will definitely lose", I told him.
"It is already an open secret among the nobles in the city who suspect your strength is far stronger than you appear. Even Spiros will not be your match if you agree to fight with him", Duke Armanos told me.
"Don't worry Spiros has a fiancé who will finance his fight with me", I replied to him.
------
"Are you really going to fight with Spiros?" Cassandra asked me.
"If they can come up with money, why not?" I replied to her.
"But what about the Blood Queen's machinations and the dark magic flowing in you now?" Rinna asked me.
"The Bloodfiend probably couldn't cast blood magic in the Magic Arena with so many conjurers there observing the fight", I replied to her.
"But we never know if the Blood Queen has other means to expose your dark magic", Rinna reminded me.
Suddenly, Melroy came together with his wives.
