Kai knew Cersei wanted to see how in the seven hells he would climb the tower.
As much as he wanted to grant her this wish, he couldn’t. He rounded back to another window from which it was impossible to enter by just climbing.
Slithering, Kai entered the luxurious chamber.
For a moment, Kai let his Perception search for any hidden enemy, and took a breath of relief, finding no such presence.
Then he approached a chair and sat down, enjoying the scenery. Cersei did not know Kai had already come and was sitting behind her, looking at her. And the way she kept shifting her posture couldn’t hide her state.
It was bliss, watching her in a light green dress, so thin that Kai could see her entire back. Her skin was red hot, making him realize how cold he was. The realization made him shiver.
No screams. No questions. They just looked at each other.
Kai filled a cup of wine for both of them and approached her.
It was only when he stood close to her he realized the queen was already drunk. But she hadn’t lost her senses. Rather, she seemed to be more aware of things than Kai himself. She took the offered cup and sipped the wine.
Kai took a deep breath. "How was my gift, your grace?" he asked, showing no eagerness.
Cersei permitted herself a smile. "I must admit, then. It was better than good," she coquettishly replied. "How did you do it? How did you pass the guards?"
Cersei’s eyes widened. The wine shook, a drop escaping the bounds of the cup. The Abnormality Limiter dropped by over 50% instantly. There it stopped.
She chuckled. The chuckle became a laugh.
Kai let go of all the holds.
He threw away his cup. His hand wrapped around Cersei’s waist and pulled her in. She was still holding her cup, her grip tight, but Kai could feel it. The bashfulness on her face, her warmness, and her heart’s rhythm.
"I’ve waited enough." He ripped off the beautiful dress as if it was paper. The wine-cup slipped out of Cersei’s hand.
Kai lifted her as if she was but a child and took her to bed, their eyes never leaving each other.
Cersei squirmed like a little child, her head wobbling on Kai’s chest. But even her broken breath had pride in it.
"What are you thinking?" She asked, her eyes closed.
Kai took in her scent, his hand gently caressing her back and shoulders. "It wasn’t enough."
Cersei looked up. There was still a childish playfulness in her eyes. Her bright green pupils played their game as if Kai was a beast she would tame, no matter what. Suddenly, her eyes lost their focus.
Kai held her chin, his other hand gently caressing her head. "What is it?" He asked. "What troubles you, my queen?" Give me a Side Mission or Hidden Mission, he prayed within.
Cersei looked away. "For a second, it felt like I saw him in you," she said, a faint shaking in her voice.
Kai knew very well who Rhaegar was. Cersei had wanted nothing but to marry him and be his queen when she was but a child. This Cersei would never open that side of her, he was aware. But the Tale had hidden nothing from him.
"I have heard of him," said Kai gently.
Cersei snickered. "Really?" She let her head down again on his chest. "What else do you know?"
This time, Kai didn’t wait. The answer came naturally to him. "I know I want you," he said, embracing her, pressing her naked body to his as near as he could.
Cersei let out a low chuckle. "Oh, I know what you truly want," she whispered, her hand reaching down.
She gave him a quick, cunning glance and then let herself down as well.
The rain outside never stopped its music.
Both sleep and dreams stayed outside, guarding the doors. When it came time to leave the bed, Kai knew Cersei in ways more than he had ever known another woman.
She was lying on top of her as if he was the fluffiest bed. Her body rubbed itself on him, nuzzling.
The desire persistently remained.
Cersei wrapped her tender arms around his head, and her eyes looked into his. Both were alive, aware of every shaking on each other. Kai felt the heat of her loins as she gave him a deep kiss.
Suddenly, she pulled herself back.
"Will you do something for me?" she asked. Her free hand went down, and she slid him inside her effortlessly, as if her body had molded to fit him perfectly.
Here it comes... Kai almost rolled his eyes, being extremely familiar to these moments and situations. In his previous life, he too had asked this question to many women. Will you do something for me? Heh!
As he resisted the urge to just accept whatever Cersei wanted to say, Kai, for the first time, felt what the wives of those men must have felt. This urge to nod almost broke all defenses.
But it was an old game, one that Kai truly liked to play.
The reality of Cersei fucking him all night just to ask this question didn’t come as a big surprise to him. On some level, he had even expected it.
"Command me," Kai said, ingeniously refusing to answer her question.
Cersei noticed, but didn’t care. "Kill... him," she said, riding him, moaning. "Kill Jon. I don’t want him to... come back. You won’t let him come back... would you?"
The notification appeared abruptly.

Do you accept the Hidden Mission?
Motherfuck... Kai cursed, calling Cersei by names even she wouldn’t have heard about.
He didn’t dare to accept the Mission before knowing if it was even possible. Yet, he knew he would have to convince her before she finishes him.
It was a game people like Kai and Cersei knew well.
"Your grace..." Kai feigned struggle, pinching her nipples gently. "You know... I am not alone. Yes, I had some issues with them, as the guards must have told you yesterday. But still... "
"I will convince them," Kai lied with an iron certainly. "Give me time till night, and I will come with another gift. I promise."
Cersei smiled. She let herself down and kissed him, the movement of her waist speeding up. Kai felt himself breaking in half as she squeezed every drop out of him.
"I will wait for you then, my boy Rhaegar," she hissed in his ears. "Eat well today."
Kai nodded. For now, the nod was enough. This was a conundrum, a monstrous risk. But also an opportunity.
"I have a request too, your grace," Kai asked boldly.
Cersei gave him an inquisitive glance as she slid off him and lay down beside him. "Away with it then," she said, gasping for air. "What do you want?"
Pleasure turned into business in seconds.
