The Emperor's Harem

Ch.2 The first girl (18+)

     Vera could not sleep that well, dredging the time when Cyprian would choose who he slept with first. When morning came around, she did not look so good. Lucky for her stylist came in and made her hair and face look like she had a good night's sleep. She donned a yellow sundress that too had embroidery on it just like the last one, but this one imparticular embroidery was of the rare white orchid. Her stylist, Mara, had told her that it was a gift from the emperor. This only made Vera blush. 

    Vera made her way to where the other girls were waiting. A lot of them turned around and looked at Vera, and even Isadora looked like she was upset because of how nice the sundress looked on Vera. She slowly sat down and smiled at the table. Also, if everyone did not like her, she was going to make her stay enjoyable. Breakfast of porage and assorted pastries were brought to the table along with cups for tea. As the girls started to eat, Vera hears some girls talking amongst themselves. "Did you hear that the East side of the palace is closed off. Supposedly it is haunted by a woman named Lorena who died eighteen years ago during a rebel attack. She had just given birth to a girl and was too weak to leave, so she sent her newborn baby away, and no one saw the baby since." Vera just listened. "I also heard that the baby girl was supposed to be betrothed to the current emperor due to a very close relationship the former empress had with Lorena." 

    Cyprian entered with a frown on his face hear the girls spoke of this. "There will be no talk of the eastern side of the palace from now on do I make myself clear." All the girls nodded in agreement. "Now, before we begin, I would like it if everyone could introduce themselves and what talents you possess." A petit girl with red hair stood up. "My name is Rane, and I love to dance." The next girl was about five feet, six inches tall, and had dark auburn hair. "My name is Nora, and I love to dance and sing." The girls went on, and it seemed like it was all the same thing until it came to Isadora. "My name is Isadora, and I love to shop." It then came down to Vera. "My name is Vera....." There was an awkward stare from everyone as if they had seen a ghost except Cyprian. He nodded his head for her to continue. "I love to sing, sew, study rare flowers. I also can make dresses. It is very nice to meet everyone." Cyprian was smiling at her, and this made Vera blush.

    Cyprian looked at the girls. "I have an idea the girls who said that they could sing and dance how about we put on a little talent show.  He already knew who he was going to choose first, but he wanted to give everyone a shot. The girls nodded there heads and smiled. "And the three that I will pick will then have an opportunity to let me examine them before I decide to take one of them to bed." Cyprian looked over at Vera, knowing very well that she was going to be his first one. All the other girls did not notice this, but Isadora did, and she heard from a source that the first girl that slept with the emperor would conceive a son. She was not going to let that happen. 

    When breakfast was finished, and everything cleaned up all the girls that said they could sing, and dance went off to practice, but Vera went straight for the garden. She was not sure what she was going to sing. She went straight for white orchids only to find Cyprian waiting for her. "Do you like my gift?" Vera nodded her head. "Yes, it's beautiful. Thank you." Cyprian came towards her. "Do you know how hard it is to see you and not take you right now." Vera's breath caught in her throat as he inched closer until he had her up against a wall. He moved his head in until their lips were nearly touching. He quickly moved his head to the nape of her neck and started to kiss, going down her shoulder. Vera tried so hard not to moan. She pushed him away. "We can't do it here, and what about the other girls? What if you choose one of them?" Cyprian sighed as he pulled away. She did have a point. Okay, we will let the talent show decide." Cyprian walked away, still wanting to take her body as his own. 

    The talent show came sooner than anyone expected. The first one up was a girl named Mia, and she did a traditional dance from her region. Nora sang opera, Rane danced ballet while singing.  When all of the girls were finished, it was Vera's turn. She got up on the makeshift stage and looked at everyone. "I...um....have a song, a lullaby, that I remember. I don't remember the words very well, so I am just going to hum out the tune for everyone." Vera soon began to hum the tune, and everyone just watched her. As she progressed through the tune, she thought she heard someone singing the song, and she too started to sing.

" The sun goes down the day is ending,

Close your eyes little one and dream,

When you wake, I will be right here,

Everloving, ever caring,

You are my darling my sweetest one,

I will be here to dry your tears,

Always remember you are loved 

You are loved."

As Cyprian watched his mouth had dropped, he had not heard that song since he was two years old. When Vera ended the song, tears were coming down her cheeks. She looked out at the crowd, and everyone just sat there, not moving, even the emperor looked startled. Cyprian shook his and got up. "Thank you, everyone, for the beautiful performances."

    "As you know, I can only choose three. My choices are Mia, Aubrey, and Vera." Aubery, who had done a monologue, came up on stage as well as Mia. "Thank you, everyone. Each one will get a chance to bed me in the up and coming weeks." Cyprian looked at the three girls, and please be in nothing but your robe. I will visit each one of you and make my decision then."

 The girls were dismissed while Mia, Aubrey, and Vera headed back to their rooms. Isadora stopped Vera before she could go in. "Here, I made this for you." Vera shook her head. "It's supposed to help alleviate some of the pain. I heard that the first time was the most painful, and you can't move for days." Isadora handed the tea to Vera before turning around with a smile and walked away. Vera went inside and placed the drink on the table by her bed. She might need it for later. Her maid Elise was waiting to get her ready. She helped her undress and put on a robe. Elise then exited the room, and Vera had to wait. 

    It took what felt forever before a knock came on her bedroom door, and it opened to reveal the Emperor in a robe as well. He slowly walked over to her and made a circle around her to see if he could see her figure. When he made a full circle around Vera, he came up close and untied her robe. The robe dropped to the ground exposing Vera's naked body. Vera blushed and looked down, afraid of what her body looked like. Cyprian made her look up at him with his hand. "Don't ever be ashamed of your body, and he said as he took off his robe." Seeing Cyprian naked made Vera blush even more. "I am sorry it's just my first time, and I am nervous." Cyprian smiled as he came closer. "Don't worry, we will take it slow," he said as he leaned in and captured her lips with his own. A moan escaped Vera's mouth as Cyprian reached down to cup one of her breasts. They came up for air several times the last time Cyprian picked Vera up and carefully put her on the bed. 

    He began to trail kisses along her collar bone until he got to her left breast, where he started to lick and nibble Vera's n****e. Vera let out a loud moan. She began to feel wet between her legs. She then began to feel something soft, yet getting harder by her hand. She looked down to see the Emperor's c**k getting more prominent. "I am going to lay down, and I want your p***y in front of me, and I want you to suck my dick."  Cyprian laid down on the bed, and Vera got on top of him her p***y by his face and hers by his c**k. She had never done this before, so she took it and in her hand and started to stroke it. It felt bizarre. "With your mouth Vera." Vera looked back at the emperor only to let out a big moan when he began to lick and play with her c**t. Staring at his d**k one more time, she lowered her mouth on it only to take it off because it tasted terrible. She coughed, but she did not want to be the only one to get pleasure, so she placed her mouth back on and began to suck his member. 

    Vera let out another moan as she felt the emperor start to stick his tongue and finger into her p***y. Cyprian began to thrust his hips as Vera sucked and cleaned his d**k to the point where it went deep into her throat. He moaned. "That feels so good." Vera took her mouth off as her body began to tremble from the pleasure. "Something is wrong with my body; it's tingling as if I am about to burst." Cyprian smiled into her p***y as he continued to f**k her with his finger and tongue. "You are about to c*m Vera and release your p***y juice." Vera could not take it anymore. " Please let me cum." The Emperor nodded, and Vera's body convulsed in pleasure as her p***y released its juices into Cyprian's mouth. When that was done, he flipped Vera on to her back and rubbed his now hard c**k against her wet p***y.  

  Cyprian began to push inside her only to feel a barrier. He thought, "Oh good, she is still a virgin though I would probably still keep her if she was not one."  He looked at Vera. "This may hurt just let me know, and I can pull out." Vera nodded, and Cyprian trusted into her breaking the barrier. Vera cried out in pain. Cyprian stopped and waited for Vera to say something. "Please keep going we have come this far." Cyprian nodded and began to thrust in and out of her. Vera let out moans tears coming down her cheeks. The pain soon turned into pleasure. Minutes ticked by, and both were at their releasing point. With one last push, Cyprian released his seed inside her, and Vera's body convulsed in pleasure once more. They did it several more times. Cyprian wanted to make sure that she got pregnant. When finally done, he pulled out of her and smiled. He kissed her one more time and then put on his robe and left her. 

    Vera's body was sore, and she then thought of the tea that Isadora had given her. She got up to get ready for bed. After putting on her nightgown, she took the cup of tea and sipped it. The tea had a bitter taste to it, but Isadora said that it would help with the soreness, if not the pain. So she continued to drink it until it was all gone. She sat the cup down and tried to find something when she suddenly began to feel dizzy. She staggered, striving to make it to her bed because she thought that maybe she was tired. She all of a sudden collapsed to the ground. Her breathing was shallow, and she was not moving at all.

    In the morning, Mara, along with Elise, came to get Vera up and ready for a new day and to see how she felt after her first time with the emperor. When they found Vera's body lying on the ground, they tried to get her up, but they could not. They set to work. Mara called for a guard to help place Vera on the bed. They made sure she was comfortable while Elise went to fetch the imperial doctor. 

    Cyprian was walking down the hall when he saw the imperial doctor and a frantic Elise running in the direction of the harem. He made his steps quicker until he caught up with Elise. "What is wrong." Elise looked at the Emperor. "It's Miss Vera. She is not waking up." Cyprian's eyes became wide, and he sprinted to her room, followed closely by Elise. In a matter of minutes, he was by her bed. "What could have caused this? She was fine when I left her last night."  He looked at the doctor, and he shook his head as if to say that it was not good. "Her pulse is weak." Elise then remembered something. "Um, when we came in, I noticed a distinct smell of gen-gen root. Back home, it would grow wild, and if given the right amount, it can cause infertility. Too much...." Elise shook her head, not wanting to think the worse. "It can be fatal," Finished the doctor. "Luckily, I have an antidote for it. But she may be weak for a while." 

    The doctor pulled a vile full of a dark liquid out of his bag. He uncorked the bottle and dumped the liquid into Vera's mouth. She coughed and sputtered as the inky fluid was made to go down her throat. Minutes went by, and it almost seemed like the medicine was not going to work. A finger twitched, then some more movement her breathing started to become normal. "It's taking effect," the doctor said as he checked Vera's pulse once more. "It's now up to her and her strength to get better." Cyprian wanted to stay by Vera's side, but both Elise and Mara said that they would stay and that his duty was to the other girls as well. They would let him know when she woke up. 

    Isadora had been standing by the doorway after hearing the commotion. Hearing that gen-gen root was fatal if given to much of it made her panic. She quickly ran to the nearby apothecary and banged on the door. The door opened to a short man looking smug. "You gave her too much, didn't you?" Isadora was surprised. "Uncle, you knew?" The man just smiled. "I know that when you want something, you become careless, and when you become careless, you make mistakes." She looked down, hearing her uncle talk. "I put half the bottle. I didn't....." The man glared at her. "I told you in small quantities, that means a little bit, a person can become infertile. Now go before they notice you are gone and suspect something." Isadora left the apothecary and made her way back to the palace without anyone noticing her.

    Two days passed when Cyprian got the news that Vera had finally woken up and had enough strength to sit up in bed. He quickly made his way to her room and had a big smile on his face. He walked into her room and made a beeline straight toward her. He placed a kiss on her forehead before pulling away. "I was so worried about you." The emperor could not sleep out of worry for her, so he had multiple girls sleep with him in the last two nights, Isadora being one of them. "Both the doctor and I have agreed that you are only to take tea when Elise brings it to you." Vera nods. "Are you okay? You look, you went through hell and back." Cyprian's eyes looked sunken in, and he had bags under them. "Please get some rest, and I will do as you say in regards to the tea." Vera smiled at him as he placed one kiss on her lips as a parting farewell.
