Sins of Submission ( 393 )

In the grand royal bedchamber of the Amazarak Kingdom, golden curtains gently fluttered in the breeze coming through the arched windows. Morning sunlight poured across the velvet sheets, painting the room in a soft glow.

Queen Zephyra stirred, stretching slightly as she opened her eyes. Her hair cascaded over the pillows, and her eyes turned to the figure lying beside her.

Kenjirou, the Sword Hero summoned from another world, still lay half-asleep, his hair tousled and his breathing calm.

A satisfied smile curled on Zephyra's lips.

He's completely under my spell now… she thought, brushing a strand of hair from her face. That foolish hero… already obsessed with me.

She gently nudged him.

"Kenjirou~ wake up," she cooed.

He blinked, groggy. "Hmm? Oh… sorry."

Zephyra chuckled lightly, her voice smooth and commanding.

"No need to worry. But get up now and prepare yourself. Meet me in the throne room shortly."
