Your Majesty, I'm not a man.

The bells on her ankles and wrists were meant to mock her. The sound of the bells ringing every time she moved her body always brought shame to the concubines.

 

He wasn’t sure if it would have the same effect on this  woman, but he did it anyway. Levania was the daughter of a prestigious Duke, so he hoped she would feel ashamed.

 

Kasion, who had been filled with anger towards Levania, felt strangely conflicted. Perhaps she wasn’t refusing to become his empress to humiliate him, but because she was genuinely afraid of him.

 

‘Well, considering her father was such a coward… What could his daughter be like?’

 

He thought it would be better to show some discretion in such situations. He wasn’t angry, but he had no intention of reinstating her as empress either. It was a position that required standing by his side, so if she was a fragile woman, she wouldn’t be able to endure it anyway.

 

As Levania pulled the blanket, he noticed the woman adorned with golden jewelry. The deep brown hair knots looked soft. A lovely face, tinged with embarrassment, and a slender figure, were hidden by thin arms.

 

“…”

 

Embarrassed, Levania couldn’t look directly at Kasion and averted her gaze. Her affectionate green eyes seemed to tremble with tension and fear.

 

‘…Was it the latter?’

 

Feeling the anger subside, Kasion fell silent. It was better than refusing him because she thought herself superior, but an innocent noblewoman wasn’t Kasion’s type.

 

“Is this supposed to be hiding?”

 

“N-No, it’s just… I’m embarrassed…”

 

It was a decoration made to embarrass her. In fact, such decorations were not usually ordered for women, but Levania was specially instructed to do so. That way, she would feel ashamed.

 

“This is what being a concubine is about. You have to satisfy the emperor with your entire body, so you should consider this kind of decoration natural… Wasn’t that what you wished for?”

 

He wasn’t going to hug her kindly, even though he wasn’t angry. It was annoying and troublesome. If she refused and cried during the act, he would consider spending the night like that and send her back to the harem. Levania remained silent, quietly staring at him at Kasion’s words.

 

“If my request for a concubine displeased Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness. I only asked because I knew I didn’t suit the position of empress.”

 

“You’re babbling without being asked. Fine, answer this. Why do you think you don’t suit the position of empress?”

 

Wrapped in only one blanket and not having the right words to answer, Levania knew it wasn’t the time to hide the situation. If she angered the emperor now, she could lose her head.

 

“I may not be able to, but if I dare to become an empress.”

 

Levania glanced at Kasion for a moment.

 

“I hope Your Majesty will look only at me.”

 

“…”

 

Kasion’s eyes narrowed as he listened quietly. He considered Levania’s flattery a way to evade the situation.

 

“Are you saying you want to monopolize me? What’s so good about me?”

 

“Wanting to monopolize a spouse, aside from Your Majesty’s many virtues, is natural. Your Majesty wouldn’t want concubines frolicking with other men, would you?”

 

Kasion debated whether to brazenly claim that, as the emperor, he could do whatever he pleased. Whether emperor or noble, he knew it was an unfair relationship. It was simply that he felt it was convenient for him, disregarding the other person’s feelings.

 

Even as the emperor, he couldn’t help but notice the tyranny that came with power. Watching Levania silently, Kasion smirked.

 

“So, my lady, do you want to have a romantic affair with me?”

 

How did the conversation turn out like this? From what he said, it seemed that Kasion intended to make Levania his empress for political reasons.

 

Levania noticed that, but it was too late to say no now. Rejecting it would be like saying she didn’t want to be with him because she didn’t like him.

 

“Would you dare to expect such feelings from His Majesty? Darling, I asked to become a concubine.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

Kasion looked at Levania with an assessing gaze. Many had approached Kasion, trying to win his favor. There were women with outstanding skills in seduction, and those who appealed to his emotions, claiming to love him.

 

Their desires were all the same.

 

Power.

 

Most of them wanted to share his power, even if it wasn’t by the emperor’s side. They hoped to receive a share of his power. 

 

Those people all ended up losing their heads.

 

Royal authority shone only when it was in the hands of royalty. If it fell into the hands of someone else, that power dimmed. The only one who could share power was the empress, but the woman who sought to be in that position claimed that love was more important than power.

 

She wasn’t someone who didn’t know what power was, being the daughter of a duke. But she said such words.

 

“You speak naively. Haven’t you passed the age to dream foolish dreams?”

 

“So Your Majesty doesn’t mind if the empress has a lover?”

 

“…”

 

He didn’t show it, but until now, that was indeed the case. Kasion didn’t particularly mind if concubines shared his bed. He had never made a big deal out of it, even when he expelled them. There had never been a time when he was emotionally involved with them.

 

However, does the Empress have a separate lover? Just a few days ago, I thought such a thing might be possible, but when I actually heard those words, I didn’t like it. It was shameless of me to have such thoughts about someone who openly keeps dozens of concubines.

 

“Are you daring to equate the Emperor and the Empress?”

 

“So, I’m saying that the Empress’s position is too much for me. My heart isn’t big enough to embrace Your Majesty and his lovers.”

 

Levania’s retort was irritating as if she had been waiting for it. Kasion frowned as he looked at Levania.

 

“It’s the same for the position of a concubine. They cannot entertain another man.”

 

But if the Emperor gets tired of a concubine, she might be driven away. The words stung his throat, but Levania didn’t point out that fact.

 

The human psyche is strange. When you think someone is targeting it, you tend to resist listening. Moreover, openly revealing intentions to escape from the palace was not something she could afford to do.

 

“But isn’t there only one position for the Empress? Even if a person tries to empty their heart, they tend to develop expectations… If I were to ascend to the position of Empress, I would feel burdened by Your Majesty’s expectations and would likely end up disappointed. It’s better to endure less pain by not having high expectations.”

 

“Is being a concubine better?”

 

“If you don’t have expectations, there’s less pain.”

 

Kasion looked at Levania uncomfortably. Those around him were usually either seeking something or were coerced by him.

 

Those who sought something approached him for their purpose, so there was no difficulty in dealing with them, while the latter were either harboring resentment or were wrongdoers. There was no reason to show kindness or mercy to such people. Therefore, he had never made an effort to care for them.

 

But Levania was neither of these.

 

Though she may have been coerced into coming, Duke Wendel had never opposed Kasion. He had willingly sent his daughter even this time.

 

Kasion found this fact uncomfortable. Just a few minutes ago, he had thought she rejected him and harbored resentment. But it wasn’t the case. The statement seemed to imply that if they were to marry, she would see him not as an Emperor but as an individual, which complicated Kasion’s feelings.

 

The imperial marriage was inevitably political, but Kasion was someone who had the power to wield it as he pleased. Despite having that power, he hadn’t wielded it. He hadn’t even bothered to check if the lady of the opposing house shared his mindset.

 

These were his two mistakes.

 

Feeling awkward at the thought that Levania might be unhappy because of him, Kasion felt uncomfortable. It was discomfort felt as someone who had never faced an innocent or virtuous person before.

 

“If you had such feelings, you should have refused this marriage.”

 

He said it coldly, but Kasion already knew it wasn’t possible. After all, he was known as a tyrant.

 

“How could a servant refuse the command given by Your Majesty?”

 

The water had already been spilled. Kasion had canceled the wedding with Levania and moved up the date of her entrance into the palace. Levania was already in the palace and in his bedroom. At this point, nothing could be undone. Kasion knew this, but for the first time in his life, he felt sorry.

 

However, he had no intention of apologizing to Levania.

 

Kasion frowned at Levania.

 

“What do you want me to do?”

 

Kasion himself knew that he couldn’t become the husband Levania desired. He knew he couldn’t love a woman. He had never even harbored affection for a man. That was a fact he confirmed through taking many men.

 

“How can I expect an overflow of affection? Since I chose to become a concubine willingly, I will be satisfied with just one night of affection.”

 

Kasion had also resolved to take Levania for one night and then forget her forever. But it was impossible for him to feel the same before and after hearing her explanation.

 

‘Even if my feelings change, what can I do? Even if that’s the truth, I won’t change…’

 

His resentment towards Levania dissipated. However, he couldn’t live the rest of his life for Levania with just that degree of feeling.

 

It wasn’t something he desired, but there were many men in his harem. Even if Levania’s eyes met someone else’s, Kasion decided to let it go. Even if they eloped together, he would only pretend to catch them and then let them go.

 

He could do that much if it pleased her. With that resolution, Kasion pulled Levania into his arms. A tense and bewildered expression crossed her face.

 

Was it because she didn’t want anything from him? He was preoccupied with such expressions.

 

“…Don’t be afraid. I’ll be gentle.”

 

As Kasion said that, Levania’s eyes widened in surprise. Ignoring her gaze, Kasion took off the bracelet with bells from her wrist.

 

“That…?”

 

“You don’t have to wear it.”

 

Since it was meant to embarrass her, there was no need to do it. Kasion took off the anklet from Levania’s ankle as her bare skin came into contact with his hand, she seemed surprised. Feeling a bit ticklish, Kasion became subtle.

 

“Also, let me untie the one around your waist.”

 

“I, I can do it myself.”

 

Blushing, Levania squirmed. It was unexpected for a hand to reach into the blanket. With flushed cheeks, Kasion sent her a mocking glance and said, 

 

“You said you would embrace me tonight, didn’t you? What are you so embarrassed about?”

 

“N-no, it’s not because I’m embarrassed…”

 

It wasn’t a valid excuse with flushed cheeks. With a smirk, Kasion reluctantly untied Levania’s waistband himself.

 

The golden chain brushed against her skin as it emerged from the blanket. Three pieces of jewelry were thrown out of the bed. He left the gold necklace with rubies, as it would make her look beautiful.

 

Releasing Levania’s arms from his embrace, Kasion pulled the blanket, covering her. With gentle hands, Levania lowered her head, her neck dyed red. It seemed like a resigned gesture, but for some reason, it stimulated Kasion’s desires.

 

As the blanket was completely removed, her skin was revealed. It wasn’t uncommon to see fair and smooth skin, but feeling stirred by it was a first.

 

Kasion looked at Levania with a strange feeling once again. Levania was casting her eyes down, so she didn’t notice Kasion’s change.

 

“Come here… Undress me.”

 

It wasn’t meant to provoke shame, but Kasion said it anyway. He thought he could understand what this feeling was by seeing Levania undress him in front of him.

 

Levania got off the bed gracefully and stood in front of Kasion. It was embarrassing to fully expose herself, but tonight, she had to cater to him. Adjusting to Kasion’s preferences would be the way to get through this night safely.

 

Kasion looked at Levania with an intense gaze. He had embraced countless beauties before, but he had never thought any of their bodies were beautiful. If he judged only by their appearances, Levania would belong to the lower tier compared to them.

 

Yet there was something about Levania that captured Kasion’s gaze. Feeling strangely agitated and excited, Kasion judged himself to be odd.

 

‘What is this feeling?’

 

His gaze couldn’t leave her blushing expression and the provocative curves her body outlined. He wanted to keep looking at her, touching her.

 

While Kasion was lost in these thoughts, Levania was undressing him. Her hands unbuttoning his shirt were cautious.

 

“It’s okay to touch.”

 

Kasion held her hand that was unbuttoning the shirt. Levania looked at Kasion in surprise. Kasion’s lips curled mischievously.

 

“Isn’t it? Your desire to touch showed on your face.”

 

Kasion knew that his appearance aroused desire not only in women but also in men. He used to find it unpleasant, but Levania’s reaction didn’t bother him. On the contrary, it seemed daring.

 

“For tonight, I’ll be your man only. So feel free to indulge.”

 

As he spoke, Kasion guided Levania’s hand to his chest. Levania seemed taken aback, but she didn’t pull her hand away from his chest.

 

“Y-Your Majesty… Please don’t tease me.”

 

Grabbing the hand that was trying to withdraw belatedly, Kasion kissed the fingertips. With a determined gaze, he looked at Levania.

 

“Alright. I won’t tease you, so go on and finish undressing.”

 

As he let go of her hand and spoke, Levania looked at Kasion’s trousers with a distressed expression. Due to his excitement caused by her, the front was already bulging.

 

He didn’t wonder what caused it. With the thought that it might be a sight Levania, a noble lady, had never seen before, Kasion’s smirk grew even more mischievous.

 

“Come on.”

 

Urging her, Kasion reached out towards Levania’s body. He realized he didn’t need to suppress this desire to touch her tonight. She had entered this room to embrace him tonight, after all.

 

‘Since it’s come to this, there’s no turning back. Just need to embrace her gently, right?’

 

He gently stroked her flushed cheeks and slender shoulders. Levania flinched as if she was conscious of her nakedness, but she still allowed Kasion’s touch.

 

When he gently squeezed her plump breasts, her already blushing cheeks seemed to turn even redder.

 

‘It’s quite cute when she’s embarrassed.’

 

The feeling of her breasts filling his hands satisfied Kasion. He lightly brushed his fingers over her nipples, which were already stiffened after just a few touches, and slid his hand down to her lower abdomen.

 

“Ah…”

 

Levania’s legs came together in surprise. Kasion chuckled and looked into Levania’s green eyes.

 

“You need to permit this, Reni. Aren’t you my woman?”

 

My woman.

 

He used the term casually, but it left a firm mark on Kasion’s heart.

 

Levania hesitated, unsure of what to do, and slowly spread her legs. Kasion, as if approving, gently caressed Levania’s cheek with his other hand. As his fingers caressed her lower abdomen, slipping between her legs, Levania’s eyes widened.

 

“You should keep them open like that.”

 

Kasion murmured to the reflexively closed Levania. Seeing Levania’s tearful gaze, Kasion hadn’t expected the laughter to leave his lips.

 

He was filled with the desire to tease her even more because she was so cute. The thought of being bothersome had already disappeared.

 

“Ah…”

 

His fingers tickled the delicate membranes and gently rubbed the petals. Since Levania hadn’t been touched there except for bathing, she shuddered her thighs as if she wanted to close them. Even that excited Kasion, but Levania didn’t even realize.

 

As a single finger delved persistently into her, Levania struggled to hold back a moan, fighting to maintain a composed expression. She remembered the warnings she received before entering the Emperor’s chamber.

 

Even if that weren’t the case, she knew she had to remain as passive as a piece of wood to keep Kasion’s interest. So she had to stay still.

 

However, the fingers probing inside threatened to elicit a moan at any moment. Despite Levania’s efforts to suppress any reaction, even the slightest flinch didn’t escape the persistent onslaught.

 

“Uh, ah, stop…”

 

Unable to endure it any longer, when Levania grabbed Kasion’s wrist, a smug smile formed on his lips.

 

“Stop, you say, Lady… Saying that after being thoroughly stimulated like this?”

 

“Hah!”

 

As the fingers approached her buttocks, they slipped into the crevice. With two fingers now in different directions, Levania shook her head.

 

“Uh, ah, oh… Y-Your Majesty…”

 

“Even the Lady makes such a cute face in moments like this.”

 

Whispering as if about to kiss her, Kasion remarked. Levania couldn’t help but wish he would kiss her, but she knew it wouldn’t happen.

 

In the original, the only one Kasion kissed was Albert. He deemed everyone else unworthy of such intimacy. Though he engaged in oral sex with Albert without hesitation, Levania remained unaware.

 

“Uh, hah, oh… Y-Your Majesty, I-I’m fine now…”

 

Feeling like she might sense something more if they continued, Levania wished they would insert quickly and finish. Although Kasion’s fingers had already increased to three, he still felt inadequate. Unbeknownst to Levania, Kasion’s size might be somewhat intimidating for a first-time receiver.

 

“If you don’t take it in deeper, it’ll be painful.”

 

“But… uh, ah… I can’t take it anymore…”

 

Levania had forgotten that the Emperor hadn’t granted permission yet and clung to his arms. Despite her desperate attempts to suppress it, Kasion’s skilled touch inside was too much.

 

“Ah, no, stop! Ahh!”

 

As Kasion’s fingers finally reached their destination, Levania writhed. Kasion withdrew his fingers from Levania as if accustomed to the sensation, lifted her into his arms, and laid her on the bed, spreading her legs wide.

 

‘Ah…’

 

Finally, it began. Once she took it in, their task for the night would be over. Levania turned her head away, unable to bear watching.

 

Kasion removed his pants and approached the bedside table. Opening a drawer, he retrieved a top-grade potion. It was an item given by the Emperor to generals going into battle, worth a huge sum.

 

Kasion poured the potion generously onto his penis, not because he had any wounds on his body, but because even if Levania’s insides tore, the potion would quickly heal any damage.

 

Unaware of the situation as she turned her head away, Levania, with her legs spread wide outside the bed, didn’t see Kasion approaching.

 

“Ugh…”

 

Kasion’s cold, potion-coated penis pressed against her drenched vulva. Before Levania could react, Kasion thrust his penis in.

 

“Uh!”

 

While it wasn’t intensely painful due to being gently inserted, the problem was Kasion’s size. It was too much to handle. Tears welled up in Levania’s eyes from the pain of her insides tearing. Unable to even move her waist, when Kasion moved, she trembled.

 

“Uh!”

 

Her insides were already stretched to the limit. She expected excruciating pain from the tearing, but strangely, it didn’t hurt anymore. The sharp pain from earlier was nowhere to be found.

 

“It’s because of the potion.”

 

Kasion said as he held Levania’s waist and thrust his penis in. Feeling the larger part pushing deeper inside, Levania’s body rippled.

 

“Ah…!”

 

“Now that the internal wounds are healed, it won’t hurt anymore. So…”

 

Focus on me.

 

Kasion said as he finally inserted his penis all the way in. Levania’s body trembled as he delved deep inside, stirring deep within her. She knew it was there but hadn’t acknowledged it until now.

 

Levania was taken aback by the lewd heat spreading from the point of contact. It felt even better than she had anticipated. It was a fortunate occurrence, but Kasion’s kindness also seemed strangely suspicious.

 

‘He wasn’t like this, was he?’

 

While Kasion was a tyrant, he didn’t mistreat his close aides. It was only natural. To maintain his position as Emperor, Kasion needed his own power base. He had been Emperor for over a decade, wielding his own influence.

 

“Ah! Uh, Your Majesty… Ah!”

 

As Kasion pulled Levania’s waist closer, he moved his penis as if widening her insides.

 

The sensation of his grand penis bending and probing inside caused her face to flush. She didn’t expect to feel like this.

 

“I-I don’t want… it feels like…”

 

Already, she had succumbed to his touch once, and now she felt a premonition of repeated pleasure. She was afraid of becoming like those eagerly awaiting days to embrace Kasion while hating him.

 

“Your Majesty, please… slowly…”

 

Levania pleaded tearfully, but Kasion, with burning eyes, looked down at her. Only then did he climb onto the bed and say,

 

“Kasion.”

 

Huh?

 

“Call me Kasion.”

 

At the hot whisper of his cold voice, Levania’s mind suddenly cleared.

 

‘Call him Kasion.’

 

This was a remark made by Kasion, realizing his feelings for Albert. But why say it to me? In shock, as she looked at him, Kasion moved. Without warning, Levania’s eyes widened as he began his actions.

 

“Ah?! Aah!”

 

As expected, it didn’t hurt. Even as something of this size moved inside her, there was no pain. She was overwhelmed by the sensations, too intense to believe she was still in reality. It felt like a strange pleasure, contracting her belly and sending warmth throughout her body.

 

In her confusion, as she tried to close her legs, Kasion grabbed her ankles.

 

“These legs should wrap around my waist.”

 

He said as he wrapped Levania’s ankles around his waist and thrust his penis inside while rubbing against her insides. Everything turned hazy with pleasure.

 

“Ah, Your Majesty!”

 

“Even though I told you to call me Kasion.”

 

Kasion said sternly as he pressed Levania’s body with his waist. With skilled movements, thrusting and rubbing, sweet pleasure filled Levania’s belly. It felt so, so good that Levania wanted to escape.

 

“Just a moment… this is too strange… Ah, ah!”

 

“Where? Here?”

 

Speaking bluntly, Kasion thrust his penis. He deftly prodded the sensitive spots Levania responded to, gripping her hips. It seemed as if he noticed Levania’s desire to escape from excessive stimulation.

 

“No…! Too deep… Uh! Please…”

 

“Are you enjoying it so much that you’re squeezing me like this? Ah~, it seems like your insides are enjoying my presence so much that they’re sucking me in.”

 

Enjoying himself, Kasion joyfully thrust his hips, making a wet, slurping sound as he pistoned back and forth. Feeling embarrassed by Kasion’s intense gaze, Levania lowered her head.

 

“No! No, stop it! Ah, I don’t want…”

 

“I don’t care. Look… Aren’t you enjoying having me inside you like this?”

 

With apparent pleasure, Kasion withdrew his penis from Levania’s insides. As the inside contracted as if asking for more, Levania’s face flushed.

 

“No, Your Majesty…!”

 

Unable to bear it, she covered her face with both hands, and a chuckle was heard. Kasion thrust back inside fiercely, embracing moaning Levania and pinning her wrists to the bed.

 

As her hidden face was revealed, flushed with embarrassment, a smile spread across Kasion’s lips.

 

“Why be ashamed? Accepting and enjoying mine isn’t shameful. Aren’t you my woman?”

 

“Ah, stop it! I don’t want… When you look at me like that… Ah!”

 

With each forceful thrust and scrape against her insides, Levania’s expression was visibly breaking into pleasure. Flames danced in Kasion’s blue eyes at the evidence of pleasure rising over her lovely face.

 

“I wanted to let it slide because it’s your first time…”

 

Whispering, his voice sank onto Levania’s lips. Her eyes widened at the burning lips. Why?! I’m not Albert!

 

Even Kasion himself was surprised by his actions, but he didn’t want to stop. As he tasted the soft, slippery lips, pushing his tongue in to drink saliva, it became natural. 

 

‘This is strange… Why?’

 

Kasion’s eyes softened as he pushed his tongue into Levania’s depths. They melted. There was a sweetness that seemed to make the tongue melt.

 

“Huut, eub… Uh!”

 

As her lower lips were penetrated, Levania found it hard to regain her composure. Even as they kissed, the relentless thrusting filled her belly with pleasure.

 

“Haa, Leni…”

 

“Uh, no! No! Ah, ah, ah, ah… Your Majesty…!”

 

Something came. A lightning-like pleasure penetrated Levania, engulfing her entire body. Trembling, she tasted the peak of pleasure, and Kasion surged into Levania’s depths. With intense thrusting, Kasion put all his strength into Levania’s toes.

 

“Haeung, heut! Hyaah, aaaa…!”

 

In comparison to the pleasure felt by her fingers, Levania was overwhelmed by the intense pleasure. Kasion, too, trembled as if he had tasted the peak, pouring his desire into Levania’s depths.

 

“Haa, haa…”

 

The pleasure-filled blue eyes greedily scanned Levania’s entire body. Levania, who was staring blankly with a gaze as if to devour her, was surprised.

 

‘Why…?’

 

They had already done it once. And it was enough to feel good. But Kasion’s penis, filling Levania’s insides, was indicating that it was not enough. In the midst of intense lust, Levania tried to withdraw her waist.

 

“Where to.”

 

As if not allowing the prey to escape, Kasion embraced Levania tightly. His gaze, peering into her face, was so sweet that it dripped like honey.

 

Levania looked at Kasion, blushing red. She couldn’t understand the reason at all. Why did he look at me like that!

 

“…Isn’t it a concubine’s duty to satisfy the Emperor?”

 

The voice, murmuring with sensuality, was unmatched in its licentiousness. Sensing the impending act, Levania tightly shut her eyes, and Kasion chuckled.

 

“I am far from satisfied. It would be wise not to think of falling asleep tonight, Levania…”

 

As Kasion finished speaking, he began to thrust slowly. Levania squirmed as he touched the sensitized mucosa.

 

“Ah… Your Majesty… Let’s take a break… Ah!”

 

As Kasion made a big movement, Levania’s insides sweetly churned. Kasion’s eyes gleamed ecstatically as he met Levania’s gaze.

 

“You’re making such a happy face, and yet?”

 

“It’s not that… Ahh!”

 

With consecutive thrusts, a strange sensation of pleasure spread. Kasion happily thrust while lowering his head to Levania.

 

“For lips that only tell lies… I’ll do this.”

 

Kasion, who had been teasing Levania’s lips as if enchanted, stole them away. Feeling the hot and intense kiss spreading through her parted lips, Levania trembled.

 

This isn’t right… Something was going wrong!
