Magnius the Mighty turned around and found the Young Empress approaching him. He was smiling broadly with his hands on his waist.
The young girl's steps seemed deliberate to provoke his lust. She swayed so enticingly, tantalizing his manhood. Also her smile. And the nightgown, though long enough to reach the floor, was quite sheer, especially under the moonlight.
The emperor's cousin could easily see the silhouette of the Young Empress's every curve.
"My lady," Magnius said. "What brings you out in the middle of the night like this?"
"My lord," said the Young Empress with a very affectionate gesture. "Why don't you just call me by my name?"
"Ahh..." Magnius laughed softly. "Very well, Sa-Lyran. Happy now?"
"Thank you."
"Then, tell me. Why did you deliberately seek me out?"
The Young Empress shyly glanced at the three Imperial Soldiers on Magnius' right, then those on the left.
