"What insolence."
The word spoken was light as a feather like it was spoken directly to Vane's ear. Vane was laying on the bed naked, his body glittering with oil and sweat, a naked woman on top of him busy riding him, she started jumping up and down his laps and she was moaning loudly, her eyes closed. Another naked woman was at the side sucking the woman on top of Vane's breast as she played with hers.
"What insolence."
This time Vane knew he wasn't imagining things as he felt an extra presence in the room. He turned sharply almost snapping his head off to yell at the intruder only to see Xanxier standing few feet from him.
Xanxier's hands was folded behind him and his glassy blue eyes that seemed to be glowing trained on Vane with a distain look that was barely visible.
"What the...." Vane pushed the girl connected to him with so much force she tumbled to the floor and her head hit the floor lightly, if she didn't fight at the last second her head would have collided with the floor with a large impact that would cause concussion. The other woman froze, her mouth ajar when she saw Xanxier standing there like an apparition.
They do not need to be told Xanxier was the King, all they needed to recognize him was his dark veil and his luxirous attair that was made only for a King. The dangerous aura he was emiting was enough to alert them to flee.
The woman on the floor stood up and yanked the blanket Vane was trying to use to cover himself off him. She tried to cover up and the other woman scrambled on the floor picking few cloths and they ran dragging the blanket with them leaving Vane bare.
Vane muttered a curse and quickly grabbed his discarded robes on the floor, his face red in embarrassment and he turned his back to Xanxier quickly putting it on but he could feel an intense gaze on him. He cursed when he wore the wrong face out and the right face in which made him take it off and he was once again naked, he grumbled as he quickly corrected the mistake.
Vane turn to Xanxier sharply when he was decent enough. All the hot desires melting away replaced by frustration and anger. "You! what is the meaning of this! barging in to my private quarters and my chamber like that!" Vane flared up, his face red in anger and he slammed his hand on the bed post.
"Kneel before your King." Xanxier face was impassive and he muttered those words slowly like he wasn't bothered about the state he met Vane.
Vane hands started shaking and he clinched his fist, he just yelled at Xanxier and Xanxier was indifference staring at him like one of his subject. "What?" He snapped with a bewildered look on his face. He wasn't about to get intimidated.
"Kneel before your King." Xanxier repeated in the same manner.
Vane tsk and he could feel the temperature dropping but it could all be his imagination since he was so angry. "Is this a joke brother, my King? my King?" He snorted turning around shaking his head like he didn't hear right. He crossed his arms on his chest giving Xanxier a pointy look like he just heard the joke of the year but actually he was trying to ignore his instinct that Xanxier wasn't there to play and he was also ignoring the dangerous aura Xanxier was emiting.
"Kneel before your King." Xanxier repeated with no change in his tune, his eyes glowing.
Vane closed his eyes hitting his forehead with his palm. He doesn't know why he kept hearing Xanxier speaking to him like he was speaking directly into his ears but it was starting to make him lose his mind. "You are joking." He boldly declared and opened his eyes only to freeze on his spot at how Xanxier eyes was abnormally glowing.
"Kneel!"
The Wine porcelain jug and the cups on the table suddenly bursted which made Vane jolted violently and his hands automatically grabbed the bed post. Debris flew everywhere. Wine dripping on the floor staining the floor red like blood. A cold shiver run down Vane's spine when he noticed Xanxier eyes was turning white slowly. Vane doesn't know but he could feel his senses warning him of danger but he was too proud and didn't want to comply to his brother demand.
"You... came here... unannounced and what?" He shook his head in disbelieve trying to mask his thumping heart that was beating abnormally fast he could hear it and his shaky hands still gripping the bed post. Vane mouth downturn in a fake dissaproval to mask how scared he was. "Kneel my foot!!!" He said between gritted teeth, it was the least he could do not to make his voice crack.
"What insolence!"
All the lanterns in the room shattered and Vane jumped up almost hitting his head on the bed post. The room went dim since the source of light was gone and it was getting dark outside. This time Xanxier's blue eyes was almost gone replaced with white. Vane started trembling as the room's temperature drop, this time he wasn't imagining things.
A cold sweat ran down Vane's spine, his hands shaking to show how frightened he was as his cloth was starting to stick to his oily and sweaty body. His instinct kept telling him not to provoke the person standing in front of him. This was definitely not normal and there was a force in the room and looking at Xanxier anyone could tell he was the one at play but Vane would not believe it. Xanxier was a normal person and not for once show any interest in magic.
"Kneel my foot"
"You humans are so stupid." Xanxier muttered slowly a hint of warning dripped in his words.
Vane shivered at the statement and the bed post he was holding along with the other three holding the capony cracked and shattered right in front of him making the canopy and drapes crashed on the bed. Vane jolted and fell on his knees with a thud. A cold sweat ran down his face, his instinct kept telling him it was dangerous to even move an inch. His legs was shaking and right now he could feel he was in a presence of a being that had no resemblance to his brother. This was definitely possession.
"You Vane committed lots of crimes, you killed a spy."
Vane doesn't know if he should reply but he had to delay till Daminas comes to his rescue. It was rear to see Xanxier without Daminas. Vane gripped his cloth trying to still his hands, he hated being in that position, he hated he was scared and all the sexual desire coursing through his body earlier was already extinguished. They told him Daminas came saying Xanxier wanted to see him but Vane was more interested in being pleasured and having fun he didn't even make a move to see Daminas. Vane would gladly give all what he had just for Daminas to walk in.
"You killed two guards."
Vane swallowed a lump on his throat looking up to take a glance at Xanxier only to see his his eyes were almost white. The blue eyes gone. It was a cold appearance and Xanxier's look was definitely he would not bat an eye and he would snap Vane's neck like how he shattered the lanterns. "They are just casualties."
"Then you squander away the national treasury." Xanxier continued like he didn't hear him.
Vane's eyes flared in anger and He should have known Trazin couldn't keep a secret. "It is Autumnshell money, I am also a Otis and I have the right to it." He said stubbornly. He already knows being stubborn as a mule would be the death of him.
"You sent bags of golds to Krista."
Vane's eyes widen in alarm. Xanxier should not have known that. He was discrete and all the people involved were closely working with him and they were tight lipped. "I borrowed it."
"You how do you intend to pay back? You when to do intend to pay back?" Xanxier tilted his head to the side.
"How do you even know?" Vane started panicking now seeing the reason Xanxier was angry. He have to find a way to end this possession.
"You wrote her a letter." Xanxier said quietly and right then Vane knows only a miracle could help him.
