Black Riders, Night of Blood in the Capital
Ever since Prince Nolan came of age, the Emperor has been scheming to exile him to a remote fief—out of sight, out of mind—where Nolan could rule as he pleased, but the opportunity never came.
But now, with the Imperial Mausoleum blown up, the Emperor finally found his chance. Prince Nolan volunteered to oversee the reconstruction—ostensibly a sign of doubt in his abilities, but as Felix Fuller said, losing a bit of face is worth it if it means banishing Nolan to the ruins for ten years or more. No matter how you look at it, the Emperor comes out ahead.
Solving both the mausoleum and Prince Nolan issues in one stroke, the Emperor was in excellent spirits, even interested in indulging the beauties of his harem. When his personal attendant reminded him that Concubine Su from the Su clan hadn’t yet served him and wasn’t truly a consort, the Emperor waved his hand and ordered her to his bedchamber.
The Su clan truly built its power on women. The girl they sent, though young, was a master of boudoir arts—her graceful curves, enchanting charm, and sultry cries stirred every desire, her eyes brimming with countless allure, driving the Emperor wild.
Watching Concubine Su gasping beneath him, the Emperor felt his blood surge, as if he were a boy of seventeen or eighteen again—full of vigor. He ravished the newly favored consort three or four times that night.
Concubine Su was formidable herself, changing positions to please the Emperor. For a girl in her first night, she showed no pain or pallor from her deflowering—she was so radiant, one could almost devour her whole.
Concubine Su was nothing if not clever. When the Emperor showed signs of fatigue, she quickly pleaded in a sweet voice, praising his prowess and begging for mercy, saying she couldn’t take any more.
The Emperor himself was spent, but how could he admit that before a beauty? As soon as Concubine Su spoke, he burst out laughing, "You little enchantress, tonight I’ll let you off."
Concubine Su thanked him, then pressed her soft body against his, teasing and playing until the Emperor’s spirits revived. Though he had no strength left for more, he couldn’t fall asleep.
Only then did Concubine Su obediently nestle at his side and start chatting idly. No one knows if the Su clan’s daughters are truly clever, but when it comes to handling men, they’re absolute experts.
