Chapter 1657: Alexandria’s Marriage Proposal
The Queen Mother sat eagerly in front of Alexander and her daughter with her legs spread wide, leaving nothing of her pink folds to the imagination. Plump, bushy, and already wet with desire, she made an open invitation to dine on it.
Then to make herself even more attractive, she raised her dainty arms to the back of her head, thus suddenly emphasizing the shape of her upper torso. Her large, drooping chest and swollen pregnant belly curved out in a sinful arch, making a lascivious contrast with her red thong and meaty thighs, and causing Alexander’s loins to instantly heat up to a new peak of lust.
He could not help but take a deep breath and then ask with heated anticipation, "My lady... does this mean...from now I will get to use you like this whenever I want?",
"Hehehe...’use’.. huh?" The Queen Mother released a peal of laughter that rang with the lightness of a young maiden, as if it had tickled some secret part of her.
"Of course! You can use me ’use’ me! You can ’use’ me anyyy...time you want, brat!" She lurked the answer in a low, sultry song, her smoky eyes curving into the most intoxicating crescents, like it was filled with all kinds of armorous promise.
The regal Queen Mother did not appear the least bit ashamed by such a request but seemed to radiate a rather confident, lustful glow. It was like she was back to her old times- when using her body was simply part and parcel of life.
This sudden change in attitude perhaps struck the young princess more than the jubilant Alexander, whose reddened ears seemed to now almost steam in shame.
’Royal mother... you... what are you saying... ohhh... I cannot believe it! I had heard the stories from Aunt Inayah, but... I always thought she was just... pulling my legs. To think they were actually real! By the Father!’ The maiden whispered to herself half dazed and confused.
It was one thing to hear how her mother had clawed to the top from the lowliest of ranks- a mere slave concubine- that was a tale she was actually proud of and even took inspiration from.
It was wholly another thing to actually witness the dirty things she did- to witness her cold, powerful mother ingratiating herself in such a low and base way just for fame and power.
Hellma had subconsciously filtered out these negative acts and only chose to look at the beautiful outcome.
Thus now, suddenly realizing this was how her mother actually got here... that towering respect the young princess held began to slowly crumble.
’A royal queen is not supposed to act like this!’ The proud as a peacock girl flashed her eyes disapprovingly.
While hearing the answer, Alexander felt exactly the opposite and licked his lips with glee and intrigue, "But His Majesty? What about him?"
This was the final barrier for the man.
And if you will remember, this was also the case during their last tryst, where Alexander was reluctant to go all the way in fear of getting found out. That would have caused way too much chaos.
"Hehehe... then we will just have to not get caught!" Seelima however did not seem to even share his concerns and simply giggled the answer with a lustful lick of her lips, "It’s more fun that way, anyway!"
"...." Needless to say, Alexander was not impressed by such a flippant reply. And was about to purse his lips in disagreement... when suddenly he thought better of it.
They might be in the same boat but if caught, Queen Mother would undoubtedly be in far more trouble than he- she lived here after all, while he could just go shoot back to Zanzan.
Thus given how shrewd the lady usually was... he quickly figured Seelima must have a good reason for her confidence.
And when he thought about it like that, he quickly recalled how the Queen Mother would sometimes go behind the mad king’s back to ’party’. That was a far, far more dangerous prospect than now- when Alozmer was at the peak of his power and she was a lowly concubine.
Her situation was far better now.
So given she was never caught back then, Alexander quickly became reassured the regal lady must have her own concealed ways.
"I see! Then I will leave it up to Your Highness to pick the time and place," The man simply gave an understanding nod.
The Queen Mother quickly produced a cheeky grin- this was actually a small test and she was glad to see Alexander pass it so easily. She liked talking to smart men like him.
"Mmmm... you can even have Hellma like that." Thus the naked lady decided to reward him.
And despite the immensity of the gift, it was given in such an easy, casual way that really revealed Seelima’s state of mind- if it meant securing Alexander’s help, the regal lady was ready to make the mother daughter pair completely free use for ’no extra charge’.
The nubile princess on Alexander’s lap slightly shivered upon realizing her mother’s ruthlessness. She could never imagine descending to the level of her mother’s lasciviousness and performing such ’base’ acts.
While Alexander, although gladdened by the offer, seemed not to have a much more muted reaction. This was because he had assumed this was already included- the princess was already sitting on his lap after all, naked and willing.
Thus lightly glancing over that fact, with a pallid, "I see!", he greedily pressed for something much more.
"And what of your unborn children, Your Highness? I wonder if you have any suitor in mind for them?" Alexander said with a very meaningful look at the Queen Mother’s swollen belly, then enthusiastically proposed, "Because if not... I wonder if one of the princesses might be promised to one of my sons?"
"Are you cursing me, brat?"
Alexander thought he was polite enough with his ask.
However it seemed this was a very bad move as the pink atmosphere suddenly shattered like glass. The Queen Mother’s temper flared up like water sprayed onto frying oil, and she sent Alexander a deathly glare, "What do you mean, princess? ’We’ are not carrying a girl! It is a boy!"
She wrapped her lowered hands around her belly as she said this, radiating a motherly, possessive aura.
The child inside her could not be anything but a boy....too much rested on that.
"Hahaha...no, no! I was simply proposing an alternative. I meant... no of..." Realizing his mistake, the man tried his best to rapidly salvage the situation.
"Hmmph! There is no need for any alternative! It is a son! There is no doubt about it!" The Queen Mother however cut the man off with this imperious declaration, indicating this was not even a topic of discussion.
Then, in a sort of angry, taunting tone, counter proposed, "Hmmmp! If you want to talk marriage... we can talk about your daughter Alexandria becoming my son’s bride. ’We’ would not mind the union once you become a part of us."
"...." The man simply pursed his lips and smirked at the offer, not even deigning to answer.
Like hell he was going to ’sell’ his precious daughter to this unknown land filled with debauched dens and perverted customs
Even if nothing happened, even if she was totally exempt from needing to attend those parties like many of the higher noblewomen were... Alexander did not want to risk it.
What if she joined them simply out of curiosity? Or what if she was influenced bit by bit by her surrounding friends and noble ladies? The allure of flesh and drinks was a terrible power to resist; many failed to do so.
Alexander did not say this out of nowhere either- he knew of a few historical records detailing such falls. Some of the main wives of Pashas and even a rare handful of royal queens had dipped their toes in such pleasure parties in their younger years.. just to see how it tasted.
And having witnessed such unrestrained excesses of the flesh at such a verdant stage, they got so enamoured by it that they were unable to extricate themselves any longer.
They saw so many attractive men wooing her, so many beautiful ladies, including all her friends having fun together, and so many different and unimaginable ways to enjoy oneself.
Compared this to being back at home, where she only had one man, and not even that always. Most of the time, he would be too busy with other women.
So the sounds, the moans, the drinks and even just the lewd conversations captured these impressionable ladies until they became regular attendees there. And due to the higher status, rarity and taboo nature of their presence, they were received with open arms, becoming the center of attention.
Every man would flock to them for a taste... even if she was not the most beautiful or charming, just because she was the main wife of a Pasha!
The only downside to such acclaim was that most would eventually lose their status as the main wife.
It became too embarrassing for the Lord to have his better half fraternizing with so many men so openly. So it seemed the Adhanians at least still had that amount of protective jealousy.
Thus, taking all these into consideration, Alexander internally preferred not to let his daughters marry into an Adhanian family
Perhaps nothing would happen...as nothing happened to many of the noblewomen, but when it came to his children, he preferred to play it safe.
