Seduced by the Tyrant King Ch-2 The Emperor Gaze

cassian [Mc][RO]

your majesty *bows with careful grace*

lucien [ML][E]

Are you alright, Lord Yale? *retracts his hand that was just about to linger over his prey*

cassian [Mc][RO]

I'm good, Your Majesty. It’s just... I’m not accustomed to such large gatherings. *his tone polite, each word chosen with deliberate precision*

lucien [ML][E]

I understand *eyes never leaving Cassian’s face, a subtle intensity in his gaze*

lucien [ML][E]

Lord Yale is new to the capital. Young nobles like you often have limited experience with these social establishments... *pauses, then with a faint smirk* I honor your intelligence — being the youngest scholar of the Royal Academy's advanced class is no small feat.

cassian [Mc][RO]

It's my honor your majesty *polite*

lucien [ML][E]

You hold an important place in my palace. *voice lowers slightly, a hint of dark possessiveness flickering in his eyes*

cassian [Mc][RO]

*looking at Lucien huge body and the royal dress that clung to his body showing off his well build muscles * [he looks like a majestic god that come down on earth ... and his words are pleasant and warm I don't understand why everyone said he is a psychopath] *

lucien [ML][E]

*smile looking at cassian adorable expression and Offering his arm with regal ease* Allow me to accompany you. This gathering was arranged in part to welcome new brilliance into the court. It would be discourteous of me not to host you personally.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Hesitates, then gently places his hand on Lucien’s arm* I... thank you, Your Majesty. That’s very generous of you. *voice quieter now, unsure but polite*

lucien [ML][E]

*Leaning in slightly as they walk* You’re far too formal, Lord Yale. Tonight, I am not your Emperor—I’m simply Lucien. And you are not here as a subject, but as a guest of honor

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Blinks, his innocent doe eyes flutter in surprised by the warmth* I… I’ll try to remember that, Your—Lucien. *his name feels foreign on his tongue, but somehow not unpleasant*

Lucien Leads cassian toward the grand banquet table, effortlessly commanding space around them, the nobles stood rooted to the ground, terrified looking at the new face of their king the way he let cassian walk with him felt like a silent roar from the hell that king has now eyes his prey and no one not even god can save cassian from his grip

lucien [ML][E]

*glare at the ministers and nobles in the bouquet with a killing intent*

every soul in the grand hall stink back terrified for their life none dared to lift their head to even glance at them

lucien [ML][E]

*hold cassian waist in his arm as he lean on his shoulders* You see those pastries? Imported from the southern isles. And the wine? From my personal cellar. You must try them.

lucien [ML][E]

*Picks up a goblet and offers it to Cassian with a tilt of his head* here

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Accepts the wine, fingers brushing briefly against Lucien’s* Thank you… I didn’t expect this kind of attention.

lucien [ML][E]

*Smiling faintly* Attention is the least I can offer someone so… singular. You intrigued me the moment you spoke in court—calculated, calm, eyes that do not flinch even before nobility. That’s rare.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*cheeks flush lightly, the wine warming him more than expected* I was just doing what I had to. I’ve never been one for flattery or social climbing.

lucien [ML][E]

*Steps closer, voice low and velvety* That’s exactly why you deserve more than flattery. You deserve to be seen. To be known. And I will ensure this palace becomes a place where you feel… safe to be yourself.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Lowers his gaze, suddenly feeling less like prey and more like someone being wrapped in silk* You say dangerous things, Lucien it's hard for me to understand your words suddenly

lucien [ML][E]

*smiles darkly* I’m not known for safe words, Cassian.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*His lips part slightly, unsure whether from surprise or something else entirely* Lucien… what is it that you want from me?

lucien [ML][E]

*Leans in, breath brushing Cassian’s ear, voice almost a whisper* Everything you're afraid to give.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*shrink back, but his waist was in hold of the dangerous man standing in front of him*
