Free Web NovelChapter 49: Eyes in the Shadows
Chain-wobbling sounds echoed as two Senior Mages of the Twenty Noble Mages walked ahead, leading Levi and his concubines to the most luxurious towers of the central city.
Golden-glowing oval leaves drifted in front of the gleaming silver towers that cast long shadows on the cobblestone road.
Nyx, the gray-haired senior mage in charge of the central city’s new recruits, exhaled sharply when they stopped beneath the Pendant towers. ’At least this tower will be good for them.’
She clenched her teeth and tightened her chained fist when she turned and saw the face of the male servant standing among the higher nobles like their king. ’If not for these chains, I will...’
Her eyebrow raised when she saw a shadow in a silver hood sneak past the back of the towers behind the Crimson Sovereign.
Saliva snaked down her throat as she gulped and squinted at the flickering texture of the silk, silver hood. ’Isn’t that Noona, the Duke’s first daughter?’
Her shoulders raised when she saw her ember, glowering eyes. ’That’s her.’
Chills ran down her spine when the half-blood rebel every citizen of the Central City knew to have been cast out of the city locked her eyes onto her. ’Oh God...’
Her hands trembled slightly when she lowered her saddened face. ’I hope Senna Drae doesn’t see Miss Noona.’
Lyra Ashveil walked toward the changed mage and placed a heavy hand on her shoulder. "What were you looking at?"
A haze of tears flickered past the corners of Nyx’s eyes when she glanced between Lyra and the tower Noona was hiding behind. ’Please, go before they find you also.’
"Nothing..." Nyx looked back at Lyra, then shook her head in a trembling manner.
A metal-squinching sound erupted from Nyx as Lyra increased her grip on her shoulder, then squinted at her face. "Are you sure it’s nothing?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Hot gasps escaped Nyx as she lifted her gaze slightly upward and caught Lyra’s sharp azure gaze. ’I can’t tell her now that I was looking at the Duke’s daughter...’
The hair on Nyx’s arms rose on end as she closed her palms, scratching her fingernails against her palms. ’If I do that... that means I have gone wayward of our oaths.’
She took in a deep breath, then forced a faint smile on her face. "I think I saw a ghost. But it’s gone."
She turned toward the silver spire behind her and exhaled sharply. Chains rustled loudly against her armor as she raised her arms and pointed at the majestic building she was now facing. "This is one of the most luxurious towers of this city."
She glanced back slightly and still saw the sharp gaze of Lyra watching her, then locked her attention onto Mother Beatrice, the High Inquisitor. "With your number and preference, I think this will do."
Strands of Mother Beatrice’s golden hair brushed across her cheeks when she nodded at the chained guard’s words and cast a curious look at the tower. ’Is she just giving us the information of the tower, or...’
She traced the guard’s secret gaze, which the woman’s eyes were constantly darting toward, then smiled inward. ’Oh, she’s trying to protect someone.’
A cloth-flapping sound erupted, followed by a heel-clicking sound as Saintess Lilith moved a step forward. "Then lead the way, little one."
She glanced at the warm, happy look on Levi’s face and traced his gaze to the guard’s elevated ass. ’When will master stop watching other women’s asses when we have everything?’
Lilith’s huge breasts squeezed against the sleeves of her white prayer robes as she exhaled sharply. ’I have to drive his attention away.’
She gulped hard, then walked and stood at the guard’s back, blocking Levi’s view. ’This will do.’
The upper skin of her breasts shimmered as the rays of the crystal sky gleamed against her skin.
’Why is she blocking my wonderful picture?’ Levi’s eyebrow furrowed, but his smile didn’t fade from his face.
A faint bone-crackling sound erupted from him as he clenched his jaws. ’I will have to punish her for that when we enter.’
A metal-on-skin clapping sound erupted as Senna Drae slapped the flat surface of her dagger on her left palm and walked toward the two chained mages. "Come on, take us inside."
A wood-creaking sound echoed as Nyx and her colleague, the black-haired mage, pushed the door open and entered.
A haze of sweet lemonade air flashed into Levi’s lungs when he followed Saintess Lilith and entered the fortress. ’Wow, what a nice scent.’
His chest rose as he closed his eyes for a second and inhaled deeply. The moment he cracked his eyes open, he locked his eyes onto the dangling, watery ass of Saintess Lilith, then smiled. ’She will be in huge trouble...’
A warm smile lingered on his lips as he followed his concubines until they all stopped in a large, shimmering chamber. ’Is this all for me?’
The hems of his trousers swept across the glowing silver floor as he walked past everyone and stopped at the center of the chamber.
Circular and triangular rays dashed through the large crystal windows and flickered on him, gracing him as if the tower was welcoming its first male god. ’Large, transparent windows...’
He whirled around, pointing a finger and nodding in approval at every item that caught his eyes. ’Iron-stand beds...’
His head snapped back for a second when he saw a crack in the front bedstands. ’That will break early. They need to change that.’
His brown hair swept across his forehead as he ran the fingers of his left hand through it and sighed.
He scanned his concubines, gazing at their lewd bodies, and stopped at the guards with his cock throbbing beneath his trousers. "Senna."
Senna’s short, black hair sliced through the air as she looked away from the walls and zeroed in on Levi. "Master."
Her pink, heavy breasts bounced on her chest as she walked toward Levi and bowed her head slightly.
A cloth-groaning sound erupted from Levi as his cock hardened beneath his trousers when his eyes dropped directly into the valley between Senna’s heavy breasts. ’What was I even wanting to tell her...’
