Liam seeing the pale skin of her thighs said "higher" Sofia obeyed, pulling the fabric up until the full set of lingerie was exposed. She stood there, half-dressed and vulnerable, while Liam and Scarlett examined her as If she were a prize horse "my my" Scarlett whispered, her gaze shifting back to me "you have a excellent taste In lingerie your Imperial majesty" as Scarlett praised the black lingerie I had chosen, I didn't feel the sting of an Insult but Instead, I felt a twisted sense of validation I looked at Scarlett, my face flushed and my breathing shallow as I said "thank you, Duchess...I... I thought It would suit her well for this evening" Scarlett leaned back In her chair, and let out a laugh then she said "haha.....did you hear that, Liam? our emperor Is actually proud of himself, he's thanking me for admiring the view he provided" Sofia stood perfectly still, her hands trembling as she held her gown high, at my words, her eyes met mine for a brief second, there was no anger there.... only that same dark, Intoxicating spark we had shared In the bedroom, then Liam leaned towards Sofia his eyes traveling slowly from her lingerie up to her flushed face then he said "It's a fascinating sight, Isn't It?.....I remember every time I walked Into the throne room, I had to keep my head low I had to bow, offering my loyalty to the empress as she sat up there" he let out a short, mocking breath as he said "I had to bow to a commoner....a woman with no noble blood..... yet you sat there looking down on us all" Liam slowly reached out, my heart was beating faster as I watched his hand move toward my wife then he hooked two fingers under the edge of the lingerie at her hip, he pulled the delicate fabric away from her skin then Liam continued "yet here we are" his eyes locking onto hers as he let the lingerie snap back against her hip with a sharp "thwack" Sofia let out a low groan "nngh" then Liam said "that same empress Is now standing In my dining hall, exposing herself to me on command....the throne seemed so high back then... but touching the lingerie your husband so dutifully picked out for me... you look like exactly what you are.....a commoner bitch" Sofia turned her face away In shame and anger then Liam slowly stood up, he grabbed the edge of the lingerie at her hip and used It to pull her closer until she was forced to stumble toward him then Liam said "I think It's time I teach her Imperial majesty how exactly a commoner bitch Is expected to behave" after saying that Liam offered his arm with a mocking smirk, Sofia dropped her gown and looked at me for a split second then she reached out and linked her arm with him, as they walked and reached the door Liam paused and looked back over his shoulder at me then he said "oh your Imperial majesty do try to enjoy your time with Scarlett, she's been looking forward to your... education... all evening and don't worry I am going to make sure her Imperial majesty has a very good time tonight.....I think by the time I am done with her, she might realize that being a commoner bitch In my bed Is far more satisfying than being a holy empress" then with a mocking wink Liam left with Sofia and as for me, hearing him say that I started Imagining Sofia In Liam's arm's which sent a jolt through me, my breathing hitched and I felt my dick getting harder beneath the table then Scarlett got up with a melodic hum she walked around the table humming, her gown rustling against the stone floor until she stood directly behind my chair, I could smell that deep velvet rose scent then she put her hands on my shoulder and whispered "you are Imagining It aren't you?" I swallowed my saliva hearing Scarlett's question then she continued "you are picturing Sofia In Liam's arms right now aren't you?" I was shocked so I asked as my voice cracked "how.....How do you know what I'm thinking?" Scarlett glanced at my dick and replied while chuckling "well, my dear emperor... when a man Is this hard while his wife Is being taken away by another man, his thoughts are clearly written" I pushed my chair back, got up and said "I'm not--" Scarlett let out a soft, silencing "Shh" and placed a single finger against my lips then she whispered "don't lie to me your Imperial majesty and more Importantly, don't lie to yourself. your body Is far more honest than your tongue" Scarlett stepped back and said "follow me" I followed her without any protest, as we reached the door Scarlett paused and said "Martha, the emperor and I have much to discuss, ensure that we are not disturbed under any circumstances" Martha replied with a curtsy "yes your grace" then I followed Scarlett In silence the rhythmic click of her heels on the stone floor sounding like a countdown, when we reached the bedroom Scarlett stepped Inside and didn't look back as she walked toward the bed then she simply threw a cold, commanding glance over her shoulder and said "close the door and lock It" I reached for the handle, my fingers trembling as I closed the door and locked It "click".
