Kingdom of Spirexia, Between Prismi and Spiri.
Irith moaned as she felt him finish.
Behind, kneeling upon their bed, Dominax remained firmly pressed against her for several seconds. Then, pulling himself free of her rump, he allowed the last few gushes of his seed to coat her lower lips in heavy spurts.
She fought to calm her ragged breaths, remaining still as she felt her mate's viscous liquid leaking from her rear. It poured down, flowing over the entrance of her womanhood.
Dominax granted her a final satisfied spank before lying down, his head turning to appreciate the sight. "Careful." He warned, watching as she reached between her thighs.
A chuckle was all she gave in reply, keenly aware of his dangerously high potency. Her fingers gently caressed her loins, cautious to avoid pushing his seed inside despite her craving.
"Your holiness!" The voice of a guard called from the command room, echoing through the fabric of the tent. "The Grand Imperial Architect Lalian to see you!"
"Enter!" Dominax's powerful voice shot back without hesitation.
Irith moved back until she was kneeling. "My love, perhaps we should-"
Lalian pulled aside the fabric entrance of their quarters, stepping inside. He instinctively straightened with respect before his green eyes fell upon the royal couple, widening. "I...oh dear...I...apologize for the intrusion, my lady."
"No need, my friend." Dominax smiled as he sat up, doing nothing to conceal himself as Irith pulled the thin sheets around her leaking form. It was far too late, however, as the Lanthian had seen more than his fair share. "There is no shame between us."
Lalian swallowed, gripping the edge of his cloak nervously while his other hand fiddled with a message cylinder. "Of course, your majesty."
"How have you taken to your new title?" Dominax asked as he stood up. Slowly, he crossed the room to grab a white shroud, throwing it to drape over his shoulders.
Pulling his eyes from Irith's slightly embarrassed form, Lalian allowed a genuine smile to brighten his face. "It's quite generous. Thank you, Master."
Dominax granted him a disapproving glance as he sat down at the desk beside the bed. "Master? As I've said, my friend, you've more than earned your freedom from such a title. Now come. Sit, and we may discuss whatever has brought you here at this hour."
Lalian obeyed with a gracious nod, doing his best to refrain from trembling as he placed the cylinder upon the desk. He knew what he must request, yet the necessity of his decision made it no easier. "A ranidon arrived an hour ago, your holiness. It bears Vixin's royal seal." A thought of the small floating creature tugged at his mind, almost wishing it had never arrived.
"And you've waited until now to bring it to my attention?"
Irith moved closer, her grip on the sheet wrapped around her easing as her initial surprise faded. She allowed it to loosen as she relaxed, the fabric parting to reveal the valley between her round breasts. "My love, I can go see to the children if you desire to discuss this alone. It's nearly time to prepare them for bed."
Dominax waved aside her comment. "No need. Secrecy holds no place between us. Now, tell me Lalian, what news does my daughter send?"
The green man nervously tapped the cap of the cylinder, his thoughts replaying what he'd soon say. "She speaks of a prisoner that has recently fallen into her possession. A...scout, my lord. A scout from The Lanthian Empire."
"A Lanthian?" Dominax asked, dark interest suddenly claiming his gaze. He slowly took the message cylinder from his advisor, opening it. "And what do your former mistresses seek, exactly?"
Lalian quickly concealed a shudder, clasping his hands in his lap. "She didn't provide sufficient information to devise any reasonable conclusion. Truthfully, my lord...it appears they've yet to even locate a translator, hence her message."
Frowning, Dominax began to read the symbols etched into each stick inside the cylinder, his displeasure growing with each second. When he had finished, he allowed the cylinder to fall to the desk with a light thud. "This is hardly the time to find an enemy to the south. If they prod our lands, I'd like to know every detail of their intentions."
Irith draped her legs over the side of the bed, the sheet concealing only the very top of her thighs. She moved her hand between her legs, holding herself as she continued to leak. "They'll surely know that trespassing in empire territory shall provoke your wrath. If they seek war, we won't be able to defend against the north and south at once. Not now, when the majority of our forces are here in Spirexia."
"That isn't a certainty, my lady." Lalian replied politely. A deep green claimed his cheeks as she did little to stop the shoulder of her sheet from sliding down her smooth skin, revealing her breast. "They...it's possible they merely seek to assess our capabilities. The Lanthian Empire rarely seeks war without cause, yet they cannot ignore the threat growing along their border."
Dominax leaned back in thought as he stroked his short beard. "Their concern is premature."
Lalian nodded, forcing his attention from Irith. "Indeed, though they are known to be quite a cautious species."
"They?" Dominax raised a brow, only to chuckle as he attempted to ease the spike of emotion in Lalian's features. "Calm yourself, my friend. You're more human now in any case."
The comment flared a smile to return to his green face, only for it to fade as he prepared for his request. "Thank you, though I'm afraid I may be the most qualified to interrogate Vixin's prisoner."
Dominax shook his head in outright dismissal. "You're far too valuable here, Lalian. I would not return my most skilled translator to Domani while we near victory. Another can be found to speak the Lanthian tongue."
"Yet I know their ways best." Lalian insisted. "Their traditions, the general mindset of their population. It's uncertain how long we must wait to discover a Lanthian translator more adept than a simple trader, yet one may be found quickly to speak the northern human tongue here. It's the logical choice, your majesty."
"Ah, but I cannot trust another translator with my every word as I do you."
Irith's elegant accent broke into the debate. "I shall be your translator, my love. Who else could you trust more than I?"
Dominax frowned. "Trust, yes, but what of his mind? Your insight into your former homeland is invaluable, yet one would be foolish to send away a skilled advisor. He cannot go, yet I may send word to bring the prisoner here instead."
"No." Lalian abruptly cut in. "Apologies, your holiness. I...if you recall Vixin's message, she speaks of the deaths of two accompanying prisoners. I can confirm that Lanthian scouts are instructed to end their own lives upon capture, else they risk revealing information under torture. Why this one refrained from doing so...I cannot yet say, though transporting her shall only offer her opportunities to alter that decision. It's simply FAR too dangerous."
"Then we allow Vixin time to deal with this development on her own." Dominax replied firmly. "You know better than most just how far my influence stretches. A translator shall be found for her, and I'll hear no further talk of this."
For a long moment Lalian didn't reply, instead fidgeting with his cloak as his mind worked. In the end, he decided that honesty would serve him best. "You're correct...your holiness, in that sending me away would not be the best usage of my skills. However, if I've earned the right to ask a favor of you, I'd see it used now. In this."
Curiosity claimed The God Emperor's silver eyes as he leaned forward. "Ah. A favor. I suppose this isn't merely a discussion of who is best equipped to translate, then."
Lalian opened his mouth to speak, only to pause and start again. "I hold a personal interest in this, your holiness."
"Enlighten me."
Hesitant, the green advisor looked to Irith, finding curious eyes of her own. "The scout is a Lanthian. I'd like to speak to her myself."
Irith tilted her head slightly. "For what purpose?"
"Information, my lady." The half-truth came forth uneasily from his green lips. "Information, and...peace."
"Peace." Dominax repeated as if tasting the word. "I know little of what peace this prisoner could offer you."
Lalian's slim body tensed under his ruler's piercing gaze. "May I speak plainly?"
"I expect you to."
