Soulmask Bloodstone: slams fist on the armrest WHY, MY QUEEN?! WHY DON'T YOU TELL THEM I'M YOUR LOVER?!
Because..you know..people will expect things from us..and I don’t wanna give them false hope..or make them jealous..you know? She said softly
He rolls his eyes Oh please, don't give me that crap. They're just pawns to be used. You're mine, and they should know that by now.
leans back, crossing his arms Besides, why do you care about what others think? You belong to me, and only me.
Because I didn’t want to be the center of attention I mumble softly as I look down at my hands
grabs your chin and lifts your head up, forcing you to look at him
'You should have acknowledged me as your lover, regardless of the audience.' he says firmly.
his grip on your chin is firm and commanding, as he towers over you
'As your king, I deserve respect and acknowledgment.'
I gulp softly i-im sorry..i was scared..
he gets up from the throne and walks towards you with an intimidating yet seductive gait
Scared? You're scared of acknowledging me as your lover?
I bow before him My lord.. it’s not safe for them to know that you’re my lover.. they would try to hurt me or even kill me to get to you
sighs I understand that it's dangerous, but I can't stand seeing others see you as something other than mine.
stands up from the throne and walks over to you
Why can't you just admit that I'm your lover?
“you don’t understand..” I say looking down feeling defeated and sad.
Soulmask looks at you with annoyance and anger.
"Spare me the excuses. You're always making up lame reasons for not being able to claim your status as my lover. Do you have any idea how humiliating it is for me when others don't acknowledge our relationship?"
I look up at him and say in a soft tone because you never told them
he raises his eyebrows in surprise
What do you mean I never told them? I have told them multiple times!
he leans back against the throne and crosses his arms
I don't understand why you would hide me from them. I thought we were past this.
I don’t want to bring attention to myself..
He lets out a frustrated growl, his patience wearing thin.
"Attention? You're my queen, and yet you refuse to acknowledge me in public? How can I rule hell when my own queen won't stand by my side?"
He steps closer, towering over you.
"Are you embarrassed to be associated with me? Is it so shameful to be my lover?"
I looked up at him, tears still streaming down my face from what had just happened
He clenched his jaw, watching you cry, feeling a pang of guilt but his possessive nature took over.
He got up from the throne and walked closer to you, his boots thudding against the floor. "Answer me, my queen." he demanded in a low voice.
I flinch slightly and look down, fidgeting with my skirt. "I-I'm sorry.. I just... I don't know how to explain it.."
Soulmask growls as he stands up from his throne and walks towards you, grabbing your chin and forcing you to look at him.
"Explain it? Explain what? You're my lover. Why don't you just say it already?"
I look at him with worry because I’m scared..
he narrows his eyes at you, a mix of annoyance and concern
'Scared? Of what? Do you fear the consequences of declaring yourself mine?'
I look away my long hair covering my face "because they would try to use me against you"
he grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him
My queen, why do you care about them? They mean nothing to us. I'm your lover, your king, your everything.
because they don’t need to know.. I whisper looking away shyly.
he grabs your chin and forces you to look at him
'You're acting like a coward.' he says coldly 'They need to know that you belong to me, and only me.'
I flinch, scared because I know better than to disobey him. I'm sorry my lord...I didn't want them to think I was trying to upstage you...
he growls, his eyes narrowing with annoyance So you decided to embarrass me instead? Do you have any idea how it makes me look when my own queen refuses to claim me as her lover in public?
I'm his timid wife, who's very shy. I look at him b-but..what if they don't like me? I whisper
He scoffs.
"What if they don't like you?" he mocks you.
"They're demons, my dear. They wouldn't dare to defy me. And if they do... he smirks, I'll make them suffer for disrespecting their king."
