Chereads / Rise of The Crimson Empire! / Chapter 19 - Chapter 18

Chapter 19 - Chapter 18

Hi everyone! Let's just roll right into this! So where to start... right well just after you left us last time Sylvie and I travelled towards the demon empire but had a little detour in between. That's what's happening right now so I'll pick up from here.

Sylvie had asked if we could go somewhere before arriving at the demon empire which of course I had agreed to. So right now Sylvie is leading the way to somewhere and when we arrive she said she wanted to talk about something. I'm all ears, I'd be more than happy to listen to her problems.

-Iris it's not too far away now so we will be arriving soon. When we land there's something you need to hear and I... I hope for a reply.

Errr... well I have no problem with having a talk but first off what's with 'I hope for a reply' and the blush to her face? And why is my heart beating faster? I don't understand this feeling in my chest. Nervousness? I don't know.

Anyway not too long after that we had arrived at the location and I have to say it's beautiful. In the middle of this great forest there is a breathtaking sight. There is a small bright blue pond surrounded by many different colour of flowers. The sight looks right out of a fairy tale.

-Iris could you follow me please?

Sylvie asked me this and I soon followed her. She had taken me next to the pond surrounded by flowers. As we reached the location she turned around and looked at me. She had the look of determination and the resolve to go through what ever she was going to do. At this point I could hear my heartbeat almost wondering if Sylvie could also hear.

-So, um Iris we may not have know each other for that long but you have already become something that I could never do with without in my life.

Sylvie was starting to blush again but the look of determination never left her face. She continued with these words.

-You have become someone so, so, so important in my life and I couldn't image my life without you now. If someone else were to take you away I don't know what I would do.

Wait, take me away? Like a kidnapping? But she's knows I'm strong enough to defend myself from pretty much any danger. So why would she say th... at...

It was then that it suddenly hit me. Wasn't this like those confession scenes in those novels and tv shows I had seen? I don't know but I think I started to become red in the face.

-Iris what I'm trying to say is that I.. I want you to stay in my life from now on till the end.

As she said this she reached out and grabbed my hands wrapping them in hers. She looked into my eyes and I couldn't help but be mesmerised by them eyes. I don't know how I was so stupid but I haven't experienced love before okay? Well this is what i assume this to be anyways.

-What I'm trying to ask is.. um.. will you, Iris crimson, vampire and queen to the crimson empire accept me in becoming your wife through the binding of the marriage contract to spend our lives together?

At these words I think I became as red as an apple. I mean I feel quite happy with her words but I've never seen her like that. It maybe I have but haven't noticed it. I guess when she talks to me I get happier, my heart beats faster, and I can't image a world without her. Is that love?

Also with the fact that she wants to jump straight from girlfriends to wife's is new for me and is still embarrassing. But I steeled myself I gave her an answer. Even if I don't know exactly what love is I think it's what I'm feeling for Sylvie. Just looking at her face makes my heart beat faster.

-Sylvie I'm quite, no extremely happy with your words. I don't know what love really feels like and I also don't know if this is what I'm feeling right now. But I can say that I can't image a world without you in it. So.. so I will accept your confession if your really sure you want me.

At these words Sylvie's face lit up like I've never seen before as she pulled me into a hug and held me in her embrace. It was a nice warm feeling. I quite like this.

As we stood there I raised my face to see her face right in front of me. We both just stared at each other before she slowly lowered her face to mine. I started to become slightly panicky, I've never had my first kiss! This life or the last! Will it feel good? What if she or I don't like it?

With my mind in turmoil Sylvie still lowered her face until I could feel her warm breath on my face. This snapped me out of my daze but all I did was close my eyes until I felt a soft, warm touch on my lips.

Sylvie had gently pressed her lips onto mine as we both just stood there with nothing but the sounds of the wind blowing past us.

We stayed like that for what I think was no more that a couple of minutes before we slightly separated. We both, or at least I did, opened our eyes as we both met each other's gaze. It was my first kiss but I can say it felt amazing.

It was a new experience that I knew I would come to, no, I already love. I guessed Sylvie new that I enjoyed it and even secretly wished for more because she once again pressed her lips onto mine. This time however with a little extra something.

I felt a warm and wet feeling trace my lips as I soon came to realise it was her tongue. It's an adult kiss! I know I more than class as an adult but I like to think that I still have a child's mentality in anything but killing. This new feeling gave me a warm but tingly feeling.

This wasn't something I wasn't expecting but I didn't dislike it. This continued for no more than a few seconds before I felt her tongue push against my upper and lower lip. I could have resisted but instead I opened my lips allowing her access.

As I did so her tongue entered my mouth as mine and her tongue met. She quickly stared to intertwine our tongues to which I didn't resist but instead joined in. We did this for a few minutes before we finally separated.

I'm pretty sure I'm bright red but I'm incredibly happy. Who would have known that I would have found not just a girlfriend but a wife in this world. Not to mention an extremely beautiful wife who was fun to be around that I truly wanted to be around.

-Fufufu I guess this mean that I and Iris are wife and wife no? Of course we will have a proper ceremony but that kiss will prove our love for each other. So no backing out now.

I of course was happy either way but that last sentence sent a cold shiver down my spine. Note to self don't cross Sylvie. Ever. As the saying goes happy wife, happy life.

But with this all aside me and Sylvie stayed here more probably about an hour before we interlocked our fingers to walked back to the gryphons to continue our journey. But one question remains in my mind. Who is actually running the empire at this point? Me or my wife that had full control over me?

Oh well not that it matters much. But how will I explain this when I get back, or should I ask her to keep it a secret for now? I'll probably do that but for now I'll leave that at this. What? You've had your fun no? Don't be greedy no more for you that mine and her private time. Not for you to know about so I'll see you guys next time bye!
