At this moment, they also noticed the two sneaky figures who had stayed behind, but neither of them paid them any mind. Viserys was used to it; back in Valyria, when he was with Ashara, there would sometimes be maids nearby to serve them.
Arianne, however, didn't care at all. Although she didn't like sharing her things with others, it was different with the Sand Snake sisters; she loved them dearly.
Arianne remained silent for a while before speaking, "Will you be a good king?"
Viserys's hand slid down from the top of her head, stroking her thick, curly dark brown hair, moving past her shoulders to her waist. He lowered his head, his lips brushing against her ear.
"I will be a man of my word," he said. "At the very least, since Dorne is using you to form an alliance with me, I will not fail you."
Arianne let out a soft laugh.
"That's enough," she said.
She pulled back from his embrace and reached out to unbutton his outer robe, but Viserys pressed down on her hand. She looked up, her dark eyes staring at him with a hint of amusement.
"Are you still afraid even now?" she asked.
Viserys didn't answer. He released her hand, instead cupping the back of her neck, and leaned down to kiss her.
This kiss was deeper, carrying a scorching heat. Arianne tilted her head back slightly, her body going soft. Her fingers climbed back onto his body, but this time they moved downward.
At the same time, her final layer of undergarment was roughly torn open by Viserys, revealing the beauty within.
Viserys lifted her petite body. Arianne wrapped her arms around his neck, her forehead resting against his temple. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Uncle Oberyn said you won't be staying here long."
"I won't," Viserys said.
"Then tonight..." She didn't finish her sentence; her mouth was blocked again, and of course, there was no need to finish.
Viserys placed her on the bed. The candlelight outlined her body into a striking, undulating curve, and her dark brown curls spread out across the bed.
Viserys leaned over, preparing to press down on her. Arianne's hand rested against his chest, but it wasn't to push him away; instead, she caressed him.
"Will you remember tonight?" she asked softly.
Viserys lowered his head, leaving hickeys on her collarbone one by one. "Of course I will."
She didn't speak again.
Soon, the bed began to heave in waves. The room was filled with two moans of uninhibited pleasure and two sounds of hurried breathing.
After seeing that Viserys didn't mind them, the two Sand Snake sisters grew much bolder. Nymeria, in particular, stood there quietly watching.
They carefully observed Viserys's every move, feeling that he was truly impressive and had taught them a lesson. Those two sounds of breathing belonged to her and Tyrene.
When everything was over, Arianne's breathing gradually steadied, and she fell into a deep sleep. She lay on her side, her face buried in Viserys's arm, her dark brown curls scattered over his chest, rising and falling gently with her breath.
Viserys didn't fall asleep. After all, two Sand Snakes were still lying on his other side. Although he hadn't "eaten" them tonight, he hadn't refused their service either.
He stared at the ceiling, carefully feeling the warm touch on his shoulder and the softness in his hands.
After a long time, the sky began to brighten. Arianne stirred and opened her bleary, sleepy eyes.
"Are you awake already?" she said, her voice raspy, clearly overused.
"I haven't slept yet."
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Viserys lost in thought, she couldn't help but ask.
Arianne brushed aside Viserys's wandering hand and struggled to prop up her upper body. Her hair and softness dangled, brushing against his chest. Finally, she lay prone on his chest and noticed the other two women.
She hadn't expected them to stay after she fell asleep. Looking at them, they must have been "eaten" by Viserys as well. After resting for a while longer, Arianne decided to leave. She was, after all, the heir to Dorne and had to learn to handle government affairs every day.
Her movements as she got up were very light, making almost no sound, as she didn't want to wake Nymeria and the others. Viserys kept his eyes wide open, firmly memorizing the beautiful sight of her bare feet on the floor as she bent down to pick up her moon-white gown.
Finally, she leaned down and gave Viserys a heavy kiss on the lips.
After the door closed, the room fell back into silence. Viserys gave a squeeze and then squeezed in between the two of them. Ignoring whether he had woken them or not, he held one in each arm and drifted into a sweet sleep.
When Viserys woke up, the daylight was already bright. Different scents drifted from both sides of his pillow.
Nymeria and Tyrene had woken up long ago but stayed with him quietly, as his hands were far from well-behaved. Seeing Viserys wake up, they didn't speak but got up with him.
Viserys noticed a Dornish-style linen robe hanging on the rack by the bed. It was black and red, and the fabric was light and soft, clearly prepared for him.
As for the two sisters, they served Viserys as he dressed before putting on their own clothes. There was no avoiding some wandering hands during the process; Viserys now felt that his past self had been far too pretentious.
Once they were dressed and pushed the door open to leave, Obara was already waiting in the hallway. She held that familiar Dornish Spear in her hand. Hearing the door open, she turned her head and looked the three of them up and down.
"Arianne told me to take you to breakfast," she said, her tone flat and unreadable. "As for you two, you'd better go tidy yourselves up first. Your clothes can't even cover you properly. Even if our Dornish customs are open-minded, it shouldn't be like this."
After she spoke, Nymeria and Tyrene left shyly, though they did give Viserys a kiss first.
Obara turned to lead the way. After walking a few steps, Viserys suddenly spoke, "They both kissed me. Aren't you going to have a go?"
"What? Don't think for a second that just because I seduced you before, it means I like you. That was just an act, alright? It was to test you. Even if all the men in the world were dead, even if I had to jump off a cliff, I would never like you, let alone kiss you," Obara said, her voice tinged with embarrassment and anger.
Viserys didn't respond.
Obara felt a bit awkward and didn't say anything else.
When they arrived at the dining room, Arianne was sitting there waiting. She had changed into a golden gauze dress, her hair loosely pinned up with a few stray strands hanging by her ears, but she looked even more indescribably alluring than before.
She looked up at Viserys, the corners of her mouth curling slightly. "You're here."
Viserys nodded and sat down beside her. Obara stood on the other side, her back to them. Arianne poured a glass of wine and pushed it to his hand.
"Uncle Oberyn was just here. He said my father will be waiting for you at the Water Gardens this afternoon. Of course, I'll be going with you."
