Chereads / Argent Empress Tsmugi of Yamato / Chapter 19 - Soccer match

Chapter 19 - Soccer match

Still standing on the stool, King Shigeto's thoughts drifted back to me, I used my eyes to search through the servants peeping through the window. I could not find Tsmugi, they gathered, tightening themselves. As the king of a whole town, his dignitaries would not allow him use his hands to touch any servants.

Looking around the corner I found Tsmugi walking like a princess, roaming about the Court Ladies chambers.

Enuch sawyer and other guards was running after the Emperor, Sawyer folded his arms in his enuch attire. "My lord please stop all these before the whole palace notices something else."

Emperor Daisuke was running after me without showing concern for what enuch sawyer said, king Shigeto saw her and immediately grabbed and pulled me inside my chambers. King Shigeto hugged Tsmugi and sensed she must have been so cold, he offered her his jacket.

King Shigeto pulled her hand and drew her closer when he saw Emperor Daisuke coming.

He covered Tsmugi's mouth when she bulged her eyes.

Emperor Daisuke is sure of what he saw and is in search of Tsmugi. Eversince king Shigeto has returned to the palace, Daisuke's mind has not been at rest.

My king was a threat to emperor Daisuke, he could not wait any further. He has been standing there for minutes and could not see me coming out of the room.

King Shigeto was about kissing Tsmugi, Emperor Daisuke barged in.

"What are you doing with my court lady?"

King Shigeto was speechless, he looked down on himself saying nothing.

"Your majesty, it's not what you think". Tsmugi replied.

"Excuse us now." Emperor Daisuke commanded.

Without hesitating king Shigeto left the room for the both of us, he yanked my king's jacket off my body.

Harshly pinning me to the bed, he wants to force a kiss on me. I resisted it, he laid beside me over night.

Emperor Daisuke laid facing the other side and I wondered if he was angry with me.

"Are you angry with me?" I asked.

"Why would I be."

"It seems like." I whispered.

"I am not angry." He said with his voice soft. He he wasn't there is something else he wasn't telling me.

I turned my face laying on the other side, without hesitating he drew me closer to his arms. He grabbed my handkerchief, sniffing it to remember my scent.

It was a bit late at night, since the ceremony ended I haven't set my eyes on empress Reina.

The emperor has forgotten he organize a foot ball match with King Shigeto, his taughts was drifted to me.

"Your majesty, hurry you will be late for the match!" Enuch sawyer said.

The emperor's men gathered outside ready to leave, he olaced a kiss in my forehead assuring me he will come back safe and sound.

As the emperor court lady it's my duty to follow him wherever he is going.

He drew back, a smirk on his face. "What is that for?"

"I love you Tsmugi." He assured me.

Standing before the enuchs embarrassed, I looked around to see if Reina or king Shigeto was looking at us from any angle and everything looked away quickly.

He laughed. "Do you still want me to come back?"

That same night at the football match, in front of the imperial Hall. In a spherical pot contained charcoal lit with fire in four places to brighten up the whole place.

Some guards where drawing the football line between Yamato and Minamato, Emperor Daisuke was standing at the Left while my king Shigeto was standing on the right side of the field.

The Minamto players are dressed in bright orange with a silver star logo on their head wrap, the Yamato's are dressed in chrome yellow witg a golden starblogo in their head wrap. Before the match begin, they gathered joining their hands together, tapping their chest.

King Shigeto was giving emperor Daisuke a hard stare, looking at him straight in the eyes. Daisuke didn't seem to care about any.

The emperor ran without caution, whining the ball left and right with his toes. Shigeto on the other hand crossed his feet with Daisuke's own to make have a great fall.

"Your majesty." The whole enuchs screamed.

This time around he laid his head straight in the stone, his cheek bone were slightly wounded.

The match could not continue that night because the Emperor is slightly injured. King Shigeto did it unpurpose to satisfy his emotional cravings.

Only the Emperor can have me by his side as a Court lady, little did he not know that he had helped drew me closer to Emperor Daisuke closer. Tsmugi Will have to stay in his room to take care of his wounds, "oops! I am sorry your majesty." King Shigeto apologized hypocritically.

Emperor Daisuke looked at Shigeto and gave him a bad look, in the imperial chambers, the emperor's room Tsmugi was with him.

In front of his bed a dining table was set for the emperor, he insisted Tsmugi must join.

I could not believe what I am seeing. Who made the room look like heaven? It smelled so fresh like flowers trying to bloom in the spring. I could smell the scent of cinnamon tea combined with something else I couldn't tell, but it smelled delicious.

She sat opposite to the empress, he offered her his favory meal.

After countless eating and drinking, Tsmugi was drunk. She laments.

"You are too mean Daisuke." I said banging my hand, hitting my head in the table.

He used his thumb finger to caress my cheek, running his hands through my hair. Emperor Daisuke lifted me with his hands and gently dropped me in the bed, I was already asleep.

He rested my head in his hand, playing with my hair. He smelt so good, like spices as usuall. Before melting in his embrace and getting lost in his scent I pulled myself a little bit away from him.

He pulled me back hugging me tightly to the extent that it knocked all air out of my lungs.

Finally I Opened my eyes and looked around the room, my vision was a bit blurry so I couldn't see the whole vicinity well. My head ache and strained due the excessive alcohol I took last night.

The dining table of last night was still there, I opened my eyes clearly staring at it. Immediately I stood up in a hurry to clear the table, but the emperor pulled me back pinning me to his bed.

"Your majesty, what if Empress Reina walked in all of a sudden?"

"You me Reina, if she comes in I will tell her you are my court lady. Your duty is to entertain me." Emperor Daisuke said with his head on his hand facing me with his breath fanning my hair.
