Universal Slave

Luke watched without any reaction as the group of people approached.

The young Lunari looked at him with a piercing gaze, there was fire in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to eat him alive.

"Who is this individual? What is he doing in the personal chambers of the sacred lady?! Capture him immediately!"

The group of soldiers with the red moon insignia stepped forward aggressively, ready to comply with the young man's directives.

However, before they could advance too far, Namira stood before them with her arms open, in a defensive posture. Her angry gaze and her impressive breasts that rose and fell aggressively with each breath she took, indicated that the boy's actions had agitated her.

"Forxis! What are you trying to do to my guest?! Mr. Luke has come because I myself have called him. Who are you to control who I meet with?"

"Who am I?!! Doesn't your fiancé have the right to question the fact that you're meeting with other men behind his back?!"

When he heard this Luke raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Namira, fearing that he would misunderstand her relationship with Forxis immediately rushed to clarify the situation.

"Forxis, don't talk nonsense! I never agreed to be your wife and I have rejected all your advances! If you call me your fiancée again, I will have no choice but to fight you!"

Luke wondered what method the priestess would use to fight, according to Xylara's eye her cultivation level was just one, observing her "Spirit" attribute he made guesses about it. Indeed there were some methods she could use to defend herself using that attribute, but if she wanted to face the young Lunari who called himself her fiancé... Luke feared that it wouldn't be enough.

"This guy is dangerous" Luke thought cursing his bad luck.

Forxis seemed to take offense at how Namira defended Luke, getting even angrier

"Nonsense! Both the church and the royal family have come to an agreement regarding our marriage. If it weren't for the fact that we haven't found a solution to the curse yet, you would already be my wife!"

Namira refused to back down from her stance.

"No one can force me to do something I don't want to, and no one has the right to decide about my personal life!"

Namira's eyes began to shine and her long hair rose above her head, as if drawn by a mysterious force that defied the laws of gravity.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, the high priest stepped forward and placed his staff on the ground. Immediately, a huge pressure enveloped everyone present and forced them to calm down.

"Nami, there is no need to fight about this. His majesty Forxis was simply worried to see you in the company of a man, you know that your curse is especially sensitive to people of the opposite sex."

The high priest had a friendly expression, but for some reason Luke found that expression tremendously annoying, perhaps he suspected that his words were loaded with hypocrisy. Of course, he would not say anything to indicate his disdain.

"An even bigger monster" He thought, after using Xylara's eye on the old Lunari.

"Excuse me, High Priest, I couldn't control my emotions," Forxis said, trying to ingratiate himself with the old man.

"High Priest, I'm in the middle of a very important meeting, I'd like to ask you to leave for the moment," Namira Said, who had calmed down quite a bit after the movement the High Priest had made demonstrating his power.

Hearing this, a vein appeared on Forxis' forehead. However, before it could explode again, the High Priest responded.

"Oh? What a coincidence, right now we have to hold an emergency meeting with the church council. That's why I came to find you. His Majesty Forxis was escorting me and decided to stop by to say hello. You know how fond he is of you."

Seeing the High Priest's eyes half-closed as he spoke, Luke felt the urge to punch him hard on the nose.

On the other hand, Namira was silent for a short while, as if making some internal calculation, and then nodded her head.

"Very well, then I will end this meeting and go immediately, it will not take more than a few minutes. Besides, I am following the orders of her majesty Zara, and I dare not be negligent."

The high priest narrowed his already small eyes even more.

"Very well, then we will expect you in the blue room in a few minutes."

"But high priest! We cannot let-"

Forxis began to speak to present his opposition, but the high priest silenced him with just a glance.

Forxis abruptly fell silent, then turned angrily and strode off the way he had come. The soldiers under his command followed him without showing any emotion.

The high priest looked at Luke briefly and said "We meet again, young man, you gave us all quite a surprise that day. My name is Zarek. I look forward to our next meeting."

He smiled, nodded and retreated along with the rest of the soldiers belonging to the church.

Luke felt a chill run down his spine. That damn old man was up to no good! A simple greeting, but it sounded more like a clear threat.

Namira watched the group of people retreat with a complicated look. When they disappeared behind the door, she sighed. It was always the same, since the day she was born she had been a prisoner.

"Excuse me, Mr. Luke, I showed you the ugly side of the church."

"There is no organization of people that doesn't have its stories… and its problems," Luke said, trying to comfort her.

She smiled.

"Please consider my proposal. I know it's abrupt, but I'm very serious about it."

"But what about that Forxis guy? Won't he lose his mind and do something reckless if he finds out you're marrying another man?"

Luke had to admit that Namira was a perfect woman to be his cultivation partner. The system itself was forcing him to find a partner, and the priestess was sweet, sexy, cute, and kind. But Forxis was a force he couldn't face at the moment; not only was his cultivation far inferior to the other party's, but his status was also a crushing defeat. A crown prince to the Lunaris throne should have enough resources at his disposal to crush him like an ant, without needing to put in any effort at all.

"Don't worry, Mr. Luke. No matter how capricious Forxis is, he won't dare take action against you while you're under the protection of Her Majesty Zara. At least he won't try anything drastic."

"I'm under the protection of the queen?"

"Eh? Haven't you had an audience with Her Majesty Zara yet?"

"Umm. No, since we parted three days ago we haven't seen each other. She said he was going to summon me to discuss certain matters, but she never did, perhaps she forgot?"

"No, His Majesty would never forget something so important. I've been in seclusion these past few days, so I don't know for sure why she hasn't called you yet. But whatever the case, you don't have to worry. Her Majesty gave the order that no one could lay a finger on you, otherwise the consequences would be severe. Perhaps she even sent someone to protect you in secret."

Luke was surprised to hear that someone could be acting as his bodyguard without him knowing. Indeed, with his current cultivation it was difficult to identify if someone was secretly following him, as long as the cultivation level of this person was high enough.

"So don't worry Mr. Luke, as long as Zara is present Forxis will never dare to take hostile action against you. After all, his majesty is recognized as the strongest Lunari!"

"I understand, that's good to know," Luke said and smiled.

Namira saw his smile and blushed once more. Then, gathering all her courage, she stepped forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Luke was petrified, he felt the soft touch against his skin and his heart began to race.

Namira quickly took two steps back, putting distance between the two. Looking at the ground she continued speaking.

"I didn't have time to explain the whole situation to you because of Forxis's untimely interruption. I must go now, otherwise the high priest will be angry. As soon as I can, I will summon you back to finish the explanation. I hope you can consider my proposal in the meantime. You don't need to give me an answer the next time we meet, but I would like you to think of me and consider the proposal when I'm not there with you."

Namira didn't look up, standing there she shone with the beautiful light of someone who falls in love for the first time.

Luke resisted the urge to take her in his arms. He looked at her fondly and said

"Okay, I promise I'll think about it. But you promise me something else. Please just call me Luke. There's no need for so much formality between a couple of lovers, right?"

Namira shuddered at hearing it, her body running through with electricity. She looked up, intending meet his eyes, but before she could see them, she saw something even more shocking that was peeking out without Luke's permission.

"AAhh!"

She let out a small cry, then grabbed his already completely red face and ran away, away from the garden.

Luke, shocked, looked down and immediately began to insult the system, which with its unnecessary buffs made it impossible for him to even control his own body!

"I guess it was too much excitement for my body. But it's normal, that sensual body, it's impossible not to react. I'm not made of wood!" Luke continued giving excuses to justify his little slip.

At the garden gate, Namira stopped, and without turning around she shouted "See you next time, Luke" and continued running without stopping again.

The guards around him clenched their fists imperceptibly.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious carriage heading to the area of ​​the city where the royal family resides, Forxis was completely driven mad. The interior of the carriage had been completely destroyed by him. Normally he was a calm person, but when it came to issues related to his love Namira, it was impossible for him to think clearly and he ended up acting impulsively.

He adjusted his hair that had become disheveled as he released his frustration. He resumed his classic austere and elegant behavior, and raised his voice speaking solemnly.

"Shadow," he said, and a figure wrapped in black robes appeared beside him, as if he had materialized out of nowhere or had always been there, invisible.

"I want you to watch the foreigner at all times. I want to know his every move. And if the opportunity presents itself, I want you to get rid of him, without anyone suspecting me. Understood?"

"Yes, sir," Shadow said hoarsely, and disappeared again, leaving Forxis alone again in the wrecked carriage.

"Let's see how long you can hide under my cousin's skirt. Even if I can't eliminate you immediately, once I overthrow Zara you won't be able to escape. Now it's only a matter of time until your end, foreigner."

After giving his little monologue, he closed his eyes and seemed to fall into a deep sleep. On his waist, a moon-shaped amulet began to glow with a red light.

At the same time, in the royal palace, the queen of the Lunaris Zara Luminia was lying on a comfortable chair eating some fruit with relish. If any man saw her lying in that position, with her beautiful breasts deformed by their own weight, and her long bare legs peeking out from under her dress, he would lose his mind like a beast in heat. Queen Zara was not only considered the strongest Lunari, but also the most beautiful

Someone knocked on the door and the queen authorized the person to enter.

It was the head of the royal guard Godrick Stone.

Zara continued eating the fruit as if no one had entered, and Godrick began his report.

"Your majesty, there was an altercation between your cousin Forxis and Luke Lyriksen in the holy lady's chambers. The high priest intervened to put pressure on the priestess, but she managed to save the situation by invoking your name. Forxis has sent one of the Shadows to watch over the boy, we believe he may take action to eliminate him."

After hearing the report, the queen narrowed her eyes, a dangerous light flashing through her eyes.

"It seems they have forgotten who the ruler of the Lunaris is, perhaps it has been a long time since heads have rolled. Don't you think so Godrick?"

Anyone else would have fainted just by feeling the aura emanating from Zara's body at that moment. But Godrick obviously couldn't be affected to such an extent. He kept his composure and remained silent. He knew it was a rhetorical question.

The queen waved her hand lazily above her head and gave her orders.

"Tell those protecting him to be careful, a mistake will not be tolerated. But they don't need to act unless it is absolutely necessary. A mythical hero should have at least some difficulties in his path, right?" If he cannot handle such a small setback, perhaps his importance and future role should be reconsidered."

Godrick bowed, and prepared to leave. However, the queen's lazy voice rang out again.

"And as for Forxis, the high priest, and that group of stupid nobles who don't know how to spell the word death… Just keep an eye on them, but don't make any move that might alert them."

Godrick gave an affirmative reply and left. As he left the room, he heard the queen's voice once more.

"It's not yet time for everything to go to hell."
