As Cassian moved to lower his pants, both won watched him — Katherine smiling in amusent, and Ravess flashing a sly grin, thinking she had caught him doing sothing embarrassing. But if she had bothered to actually look at Cassian's face, she would've noticed he wasn't flustered at all; he wore the sa amused smile as Katherine. Without a hint of hesitation, he pulled his pants down.
And then — springing up — was sothing that made Ravess freeze. It wasn't so hidden weapon like she half-expected, but rather... a massive, veiny length, standing firm and aid right at her.
For a few stunned seconds, she just stared, completely caught off guard — not just by the fact it wasn't a weapon, but by the sheer size of it, because she couldn't believe sothing that big even existed outside of bad jokes and dirty rumors.
Ravess finally snapped out of it and looked away, her face burning red as both Cassian and Katherine chuckled. "How could you just take it out like that?" she blurted.
"You asked for it yourself, Ravess," Katherine said, laughing at her reaction, while Cassian calmly tucked himself back into his pants.
Still flustered and a little angry, Ravess shot a glare at Katherine. "That don't matter, my lady — aren't you going to do sothing about it? How could a servant pull out his disgusting thing in front of his master?"
Cassian let out a small sigh of disappointnt as Katherine sat up, smiling. "I thought you would've understood by now, Ravess..." she said, her voice teasing as she casually placed her hand over Cassian's crotch — right where he had just tucked himself in — shocking Ravess all over again.
"I have that kind of relationship with him," Katherine added with a wicked smile.
Ravess stood frozen, her mouth slightly open, completely stunned by what she had just heard.Cassian, watching her carefully, couldn't help but feel a bit impressed. Despite the shock practically rolling off her in waves, Ravess was managing to keep her Domain under control.
If it had been him in her place, his Domain would've already exploded from losing composure — that's how rattled she was. Still, even if she kept it together on the surface, her wide eyes and trembling lips gave her away.
"H-How could you do this, my lady?" Ravess stamred, struggling to believe what she was seeing.To her, Katherine had always been an untouchable figure — the cold, ethereal beauty everyone in the duchy revered.
The thought of her smiling so casually while her hand caressed the bulge forming in Cassian's pants — the very "disgusting" thing Ravess had just been shown — was almost too much for her brain to process.
"You're married..." Ravess said, her voice barely above a whisper, the words falling out like she couldn't believe she was even saying them.
"Don't remind of that," Katherine scoffed. "With how rarely I even see that man, you could call our relationship a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of thing."
Still in shock, Ravess tried to speak again, "But—"
"Stop," Katherine cut her off, already turning to lie down on her stomach, showing her back to them.
Without looking, she continued calmly, "I was planning to hide it from you before... but after getting this massage, I'm going to have sex with him. You're more than welco to stay in the room — just rember, nothing you see or hear leaves these walls. That's part of your warrior's oath."
Ravess looked genuinely frustrated, glaring at Cassian like he was the one to bla — which, to be fair, he partly was. But Katherine had just as much of a hand in this ss. Cassian couldn't help but feel a little pity for her. Katherine was being a bit harsh, but Ravess had accepted the terms of her warrior's oath — staying near Katherine at all tis until the cult threat was dealt with.
After all, the last assassination attempt on Katherine had co from people connected to the cult, and there had been more attacks since — so even successful against others like her.
Still, as a soldier raised under the strict discipline of the Ven Dyke family, Ravess had been trained from childhood to obey the royal family's orders — though only when they were reasonable. And technically, Katherine had given her a choice: stay or leave. By that standard, it was fair... even if it didn't feel that way right now.
The whole situation left Ravess conflicted. She could leave — her oath didn't bind her inside the room, just near enough to protect Katherine — but what if danger showed up the mont she stepped away?
Katherine clearly didn't care, lying there so casually.
And then there was Cassian. Ravess couldn't help but be suspicious of him — a young man she had heard about even before arriving here. A newly minted Circle Warrior, but already with feats under his na that most could only dream of at his age.
Feats that usually took the best training, the finest resources — things she herself had received.But from what she knew, Cassian hadn't co from privilege. He was said to be the abandoned son of so low-ranking Ven Dyke family mber, left to survive in the slums... until one day, he simply appeared at the castle gates, like so mystery dropped into their laps.
It had been suspicious — really suspicious — but that doubt had faded for most people over ti.Cassian had never made any move to harm Katherine, and once he awakened the Ven Dyke family's signature Killing Domain, everyone had stopped caring.
They had even celebrated it, Ravess included. Back then, she hadn't been suspicious at all. But now, seeing how Katherine acted around him — like a completely different woman — all those old doubts were crawling back. Cassian hadn't co to assassinate her.
No... he was here to manipulate her. To twist her into soone else. Soone who spoke casually about sex, who stripped in front of people who weren't even her husband. It made Ravess's stomach churn. This wasn't the ethereal, untouchable lady she had sworn to protect.
Ravess stared hard at Cassian as he moved behind Katherine, casually placing his hands on her shoulders and starting to massage her again, as if nothing was wrong.But in Ravess's eyes, everything was wrong.
He wasn't just so talented young warrior anymore. He was a snake — slowly coiling himself around Katherine, sinking deeper with every touch, every whispered word. And worst of all, he was using that disgusting thing as a tool to break her down, To control her.
Ravess gritted her teeth, her fists clenching at her sides. She had to stop it. Sohow.
She had to make Katherine see what was happening, even if it would be nearly impossible now that Cassian had gotten so close. Which also ant... she couldn't leave Katherine alone anymore.Not even for a mont. Wherever Cassian went, if he was with Katherine — she would be there too. Watching, Waiting, ready to act, no matter what it took.
Which ant... even when they were doing it, she would have to stay. Grinding her teeth, Ravess stiffly nodded. "I'll stay."
Katherine smiled lazily. "As you wish. Now, before that, help him with the massage..."
Cassian, catching Ravess's glare and returning it with a smile, added, "Please pour so oil here."
