Chapter 9: The Abduction of the Queen

  Night had finally fallen, and under my urging, Kaja reluctantly led me towards the palace. Along the way, we saw many Mosan cavalrymen patrolling the streets, as if the entire city was already under martial law.

  "Be careful, follow me." True to his years of experience as a thief, he led me swiftly through the dark alleys, occasionally climbing over several walls and hiding in the shadows of the corners to avoid the nearby patrol soldiers.

  After a long walk, we arrived at a corner of the wall surrounding the palace. This place was behind several residential houses and it was hard for people to come here normally, even cavalrymen couldn't patrol here. I secretly admired his cleverness, in this place, digging a hole on the wall and disguising it a bit, one could sneak into the palace without being detected.

  As expected, he parted a clump of weeds and there was a hole leading straight into the wall. I crawled in through this hole while he covered up outside. I wasn't worried about him causing trouble because beforehand I had warned him that if he dared to betray me, he would also be punished.

  The hole was very deep, all the way to a fake mountain in the back garden of the palace. After crawling out of the dark cave, I carefully moved forward according to Kaja's map of the palace, and my night tribe stealth talent was fully displayed on me. Although several guards were met on the road, they could not find me, who was wrapped in black robes and silently hidden in the darkness.

  I went through many palaces without any obstacles and finally arrived at my destination - the royal bedroom. I won't forgive that Alsto guy if I don't smash him into a meat pie for what he did to me today, the anger in my heart made me clench my fists.

  I released my fingers from the stone wall, flew down from the ceiling and landed behind two gate guards. Before they could turn their heads, I reached out and twisted their necks, they only managed to let out a "hmm" before collapsing to the ground. Having easily taken care of the guards, I pushed open the beautifully crafted door and carefully slipped into this bedroom that represented infinite authority.

  What a beautiful bedroom! The walls, which are white and sparkling with gloss, are adorned with exquisite paintings. A bright mirror is placed on the dresser against the wall. On the rosewood dining table, silver candelabras are arranged. In the magnificent fireplace, flames are burning. Several bottles of narcissus flowers are placed around the room, adding a touch of vitality to the bedroom. On one side of the room, a huge and luxurious bed is placed there. The four corners of the silver bedposts are carved with delicate floral patterns. Through the thin white gauze curtains, you can vaguely see the person lying on the bed.

  Gently parting the mosquito net, my breathing slowed down instantly. A breathtakingly beautiful sleeping face appeared before my eyes, and lying on the bed was none other than the first beauty of the grasslands, the current Queen of Mosan, Xierina. Her snow-white face had a faint flush due to her deep sleep, and her golden hair was scattered messily on the white pillow, exuding an inexplicable sensuality. Those vibrant lips seemed to have a magical power, drawing me in for a kiss.

  A wave of indescribable soft tactile sensation came from the intersection of our lips, and I couldn't help but indulge in it, repeatedly savoring the fragrance of her lips. Gradually, just the contact between our lips was no longer enough for me. I inserted my tongue into her small mouth, stirring and sucking the fragrant saliva within. Her tongue began to respond under my provocation, the two tongues entwined, low hums emanating from her throat.

  Suddenly, her eyes opened wide, with a dazed blue gaze that stared blankly for a moment before widening in shock. "Uhh... uhh... uhh" Her cry of surprise was muffled by my mouth, leaving only a stifled whimper.

  My big mouth clamped tightly onto hers, refusing to let go, and with one hand I tightly pinned down her wildly flailing hands. After a while, her body, which had been struggling non-stop, finally went limp due to the huge difference in strength. Seeing that I was still shamelessly moving around inside her mouth, a cold glint flashed across her eyes, and her two rows of teeth bit down hard on my tongue. Unfortunately for her, my entire body had been strengthened, including my tongue, so no matter how hard she tried, not only could she not bite off my tongue, but she was instead teased into gasping for breath, gradually losing strength.

  After a kiss that lasted for who knows how long, I finally let go of the already panting Serina. The most beautiful woman on this prairie, the current Queen of Mosan, was lying weakly on the bed like a frail little girl, without any strength to resist.

  With an excited heart, I admired this rarely seen, moving beauty. Oh heavens, how could the gods create such a perfect body? Her body, exposed from struggling, was only covered by a thin gauze, revealing her perfect figure. The two cherry-red dots on her plump and high chest were faintly visible, her slender waist had no excess fat, and following the smooth abdomen down to the roots of her two white thighs, the moving wonderful place was faintly visible. Her white jade-like feet, painted with light pink nail polish, made one want to hold them in their hands and play with them.

  Oh no! My nosebleed has started to flow. To be able to see such a beautiful view, I'm such a lucky man. While I was staring blankly at her, Xilena had recovered some of her strength. Although she was furious and humiliated by the strange man's invasive gaze, after witnessing my deadly attack during the day, she didn't dare make any moves that would provoke me for the time being.

  "What do you want to do?" The sweet voice came out of her sexy little mouth, it was the first time I heard her voice, and it sounded so good. "Would a man with manners let a lady be treated like this?"

  Her slightly dissatisfied tone sounded like she was being coquettish, and when I heard her seemingly coy words, I inexplicably agreed to get out of bed and change into a nightgown.

  It wasn't until that enchanting figure was shrouded in a thick cloak that I came to my senses, and suddenly felt extremely regretful, also very dissatisfied with my performance in the face of beauty. Just now, I looked like an inexperienced young man who had never seen a woman before. If she had wanted to take advantage of me just now, wouldn't I have been completely helpless? No, I must firm up my will!

  She grasped the collar of her nightgown with both hands, and tried to calm herself down. Crying out for help would not aid her current situation, as the strong military force displayed by the enemy today was not something a weak woman like herself could resist. She had to think of a way to stall for time. At this moment, Xilina showed off the noble demeanor of a queen, sitting on a stool near the fireplace, and said to me in a stern tone: "Night creature, you dare to sneak into the palace at night? Do you know that this is a capital offense punishable by beheading? If you surrender quietly, I can spare your life."

  "Reprieve from punishment? My lovely queen, you should know that your usurping husband's first thought is to kill me now. You're only saying this to stall for time and wait for rescue, aren't you?" Freed from the feminine allure, my mind was clear once more.

  "You... what are you saying? As the Queen of Mosan, would I deceive you? I will ask Alsto to spare your life and even let you serve as a guard in the palace. Don't you want to see me all the time?" The last sentence was spoken with a hint of seduction, causing Celine to become flustered.

  I didn't care about her empty promises, if I had believed her, it would have been a dead end. Suddenly my ears moved and I heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside, someone was walking towards the bedroom, judging by the sound, there were two armored guards, they should be here to replace the two gatekeepers I took down.

  Before I could think twice, my body sprang into action. In the instant before Queen Celine could react, I had pressed against her neck and she slumped forward, unconscious. Scooping up the soft, fragrant body, I leapt out of the open window and darted swiftly through the darkness.

  At this time, a commotion came from behind, followed by the loud ringing of alarm bells, and countless guards rushed around in confusion. After dodging several waves of soldiers who came rushing to the scene, I made my way left and right, avoiding detection until I reached the secret passage of the artificial hill. Once out of here, those Mosan people would no longer be able to trap me. Looking back at the now brightly lit palace, a hint of a vengeful smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: Alsto, you want to kill me? Well, I'll just take your wife away and see who's at a disadvantage!

  As we emerged from the narrow passageway, both of us were covered in dust and mud. Kaja, who had been waiting beside the passage, immediately came over, her non-stop chatter simultaneously attacking my ears: "Oh! You actually made it out safely, thank goodness for the mercy of the Grassland God, I thought you'd be discovered for sure, and then I would've been in big trouble too... Luckily, luckily. How was it? Was my map accurate enough? Did you steal any precious jewels? If you want to fence them, I know some people who can help... Oh my god, you even brought out a palace maid! You're stronger than me, I only stole some gemstones... Wait, this... this... isn't Princess Celine?! Oh my god..."

  A hand clutched his neck, and the large amount of words that had not yet been spat out were strangled in his throat. I viciously said to him: "If you keep nagging me again, I'll cut off your annoying tongue!"

  Looking at the thief who had tightly closed his mouth, with pleading eyes, I was satisfied and loosened my grip on his neck. "Now I'm going out of town, do you have a way?" Looking at him again wanting to open his mouth wide, I drew out my curved knife and added: "Say it simply!"

  Kakashi, who was startled, spoke in an unprecedented concise manner: "My brother is a gatekeeper at the North Gate." Then he tightly covered his mouth, fearing that I would really cut off his tongue, which made me burst out laughing.

  With all the necessary items in hand, we avoided the main road and left the towering pearl on the grassland from the north gate without being detected. After leaving the city, the surroundings were all empty grasslands, and coming here was a vast expanse of freedom.

  "Kaja, although it was brief, you've helped me out. You're free now, just don't get caught again next time!" I let the little thief go, but in the process, I snatched his money and galloped away on horseback under his tearful gaze.

  "You're a bandit!!!" After the Mercedes had gone very far away, a voice with a crying tone sounded from behind me. If my ears weren't sharp enough, I wouldn't have even heard this faint cry.

  "Hahaha! This is my creed, what I see is mine!" Galloping on horseback across the vast grasslands, I laughed wildly. With this one move, even the Queen of Mosan was snatched away by me, what else in this world can't I get? The rule of the jungle that only the strong can be king has long been deeply ingrained in my mind, only the strong can get everything they want, losers cannot get recognition, although cruel, but this is the truth.
