The sun sets on the last day of the festival. Pearl is resting their head on Silver’s lap as they both look out the window to watch the setting sun. The von Stein estate in the capital felt cool as the window let air blow through. As the air blows on them Pearl thinks back to what Silver told them a couple of days ago. He gave them three scenarios where he would want them to nullify the contract that he is in with the royal family. One, if Celestina were to come back here. Two, if the Royal family prevents him from protecting them. Three, would be once when he is ready to take them down.

He found that he was able to at least write down what he wants them to do. He knows that he will eventually be free at long last and just knowing that is incredibly satisfying to him. It makes this sunset feel even better since this will be the last festival of light that he will be enslaved.

Silver picks up his wine glass and takes a sip of it as he messes with Pearl's hair. “Have you ever seen the light show for the end of the festival of light that Astayle sets off?”

Pearl sits up and looks at Silver directly into his eyes with some hint of confusion. “We have a light show for the festival?”

“Well, Astayle sets off fireworks every year whether we hold the festival or not. I believe we do it for those that are unable to make the journey to another country for whatever the reason might be.” Setting down his glass he pulls Pearl into him. “You will be the first person that I have watched these with that wasn’t my mother.”

“Silver, I don’t mind that you are holding me but you are doing it rather tightly. Do you think that you could loosen up a little?”

He loosens up a bit and pushes them away slightly while still holding onto their shoulders to look at their face. “Your face might be flush from from all of our celebrations today but you still radiate like a star in the night sky shining brighter than Amaliel herself.” He gets up and places a hand on their cheek as he rubs it with them leaning into his hand.

“Stay still.” He orders as he removes his hand from their face.

“Yes, My lord.”

He removes the shall that they have over their shoulders and he starts to kiss their neck and he lets his tongue explore it as well. He lifts up their chin and kisses their lips slipping his tongue in their mouth as they do theirs in return. As he makes out with Pearl he unfastens his pants and lets his clothes hit the ground. “On your knees.”

They get down to the level of his shaft, they look at it, and reach for it as their mind seems to be acting on its own. They touch it and instinctually shove it into their mouth as they lean forward to do so.

Silver lets out a sigh releasing all of his pent-up stress from the whole week. Their mouth feels so amazing to him. It feels even better than Celestina's. That could be because it was forced but he will never cease to be surprised with how much he enjoys this whole interaction with Pearl.

As their tongue started exploring something inside of him snapped. He forces them up and quickly takes their gown off of them and he licks their nipple as he moves his hand inside of them.

They grab onto his shirt and start to feel week. “Sil...ver...” They collapse on the floor as silver follows them down. “Gods.... Please don't stop.”

“Really? What will you do for me?” Silver moves up to their neck and tightly grab onto their hair.

Pearl thinks on what to say as Silver stimulates them making their mind a little foggy. “I... I will serve you... even if the gods void our contract... I will worship you as we do the gods.”

He turns them around as he grabs their breasts leaning down to their ears. “You want me to become your god as you become my faithful servant to serve my desires?”

“Yes... My... Lord...” They say with every word broken up as he squeezes their chest and playfully nibbles on their ear. “Please... Use me... My Lord.”

He moves down to their waste as a smile appears on his face, picking up their lower body as he shoves himself inside of them. “Then I have an order, my slave.”

He stirs them up inside that it makes it hard for them to process. It makes them wonder why he doesn't just make it an order through the contract bind by Xathaneil. “What is it My... Lord?”

“Once we take down the Depraysie family, and I take my place as the new monarch, marry me. Let's say our vows again except in front of the country. Be my royal partner, Pearl.”

They remained quiet for some time as Silver continued to thrust inside of them. Waiting for it to become an official order. But it never came as he just continued to move in complete silence.

He patiently waits for them for them to respond knowing exactly what they are waiting for themself. He knows how to make it an order though without it being a forced yes which would void their contract on his side. “Answer me before I finish or else it will be on you and you'll have to clean yourself with your tongue, missing the light show.” He flips them around continuing his motion inside.

They look away from his face. “Yes, My Lord.” Their voice was nothing more than a whisper. They feel so timid and they feel as if their heart is going to pound right out of their chest as it flutters at the thought of an actual ceremony under the watch of Amaliel and Nuriel. “I will marry you, My Lord.”

Even though it was quiet Silver could hear them perfectly. “Good pet.” He reaches down and rubs their cheek. “I should leash and tie up my pet next time, shouldn't I? Or should I tie you up once I finish inside of you, playing with you as the fireworks go off?”

“Whatever my lord desires. I am your object to use as you see fit.” They can't make eye contact with him. Not because they are lying but because they are embarrassed to be speaking the words out loud.

Silver finds their reaction completely adorable as he gets close to finishing. He picks them up and they wrap their arms and legs around him as he supports them finishing inside. He is able to continue until they finish as well and when they do they tighten their hold around him. “Good slave.” He places them down next to the chair that he was sitting on earlier. “Stay on your knees and stay there.”

He leaves the room before waiting for a response but it was made as an order so they had no choice but to follow it. They would have even if it wasn't. When they come back to from the order they realize that their hands are tied together and with some room, the rope that binds them is also part of the chair.

“Clean me off.” Silver orders as he sits in the chair facing them.

“Yes, My Lord.” As they start to lick they hear an explosion outside and the room lights up briefly with color.

Silver glances out the window seeing the fireworks starting to go off. He then looks back at Pearl and lifts up their chin. “Why don't we put this on hold and watch the show with me.” He unties the rope from the chair but keeps their arms together and pulls them closer. “You said that you've never seen this before.”

They rest their head down on his lap as they watch the light show go on outside and down in the market district. The von Stein estate might be far off from the market district but the fireworks show up well even behind all of the buildings. They are all white and yellow with a little bit of orange mixed in. The firework colors are there to represent Amaliel and Nuriel, with representation of Xathaniel in there as the reigning god of the country.

“They look amazing, Silver.”

Watching them with Pearl is something that he deeply enjoys. He hasn't enjoyed this show as much since his mother passed. She always enjoyed the show at the end of the festival of light.

While holding the rope tied around their hands in one hand he uses the other to gently caress their cheek. “They are nowhere near as radiant as you are. You are the light of the kingdom, and of my life.”
